Kate Kelly is apparently releasing the names and other information in her bishopric that is holding the court. Not sure if this is a scorched earth approach, but she might be in need of some friendly counsel before she really blows this thing up."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

You know, one of the reasons, maybe the reason this OW thing is so productive or destructive -- depending on your perspective -- is it forces people to think about the source of their beliefs they have simply taken for granted. Eventually you ask yourself: Why has the priesthood been limited to men anyway? Why have women been treated differently? In monotheism? in any walk of life? Why is this situation different from blacks and the priesthood?Originally posted by Pelado View PostLast edited by SeattleUte; 06-18-2014, 09:52 PM.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

I haven't seen this yet - do you have a source. Playing devils advocate for a moment, if she thinks excommunication is a fait accompli, why not go scorched earth?Originally posted by Moliere View PostAwesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.Comment

Maybe she is just making the leaders think about if they really want to fall on the sword.Originally posted by Pheidippides View Post"Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Some guy on Facebook copied and pasted the post and Kate Kelly actually commented to verify it was by her. I'm not FB friends with her so I can't see it.Originally posted by Pheidippides View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I don't put a lot of stock in it being that big but the fallout of a systematic attempt to silence all bloggers, tweeters, etc. would be LOL hilarious. Changed your Facebook profile pic to a red equal sign? You're out. Tweeted that you think Utah is dumb for pursuing the same sex marriage issue to the Supreme Court? You're out. Tweeted a picture of your gay friend's wedding. You're out."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

Yeah, you're probably safe as long as you aren't staging public protests outside of church meetings. Even then you might get away with it.Originally posted by FMCoug View Postτὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

What exactly is she releasing?Originally posted by Moliere View Post"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
