Elderbednarophobia

[Moliere]

Night of a national holiday and Sooner is sitting around thinking about Elder Bednar. I'm afraid Sooner needs to get a life.

Sooners dedication to this board, even during holidays when he should be spending time with family, just shows how much he loves the church and wants it to change. Don't listen to these people Sooner. I look forward to your next big thread which should come around dinner time on thanksgiving.

You have got to be F-ing kidding me. You have almost 29,000 posts and are telling me to get a life? Remind me what you do in your life that gives you time for 29,000 posts.

I couldn't tell you what I was doing when I made all 29k posts. But I can tell you what I wasn't doing last night: sitting around on a holiday thinking about a silly quote from a religious leader that belongs to a group in which I no longer participate. Seems strange you couldn't find something better to do.

He hangs out in play areas at local parks avoiding parents.

That's only when I babysit my nephew.

This man was president of a university and he claims that scholarship ain't so important. What a nitwit.

He was president of Ricks College.

At least grace finally admits that he is inactive.

At first I was annoyed by obvious nit picking. Sooner, you really do live up to the ex-Mormon cliche. But then Clack saves the day. Without Sooner creating this thread, we would have missed out on the pearls of wisdom from Clack. It's a paradox to be sure.

The part about all of his book learning having no impact on his church service is obviously a silly thing to say, especially for a group of people who love quoting CS Lewis so much. I did notice that you left a nice gap in between quotes. Was there anything else he said afterward to provide context for such a ridiculously easy thing to dispute? I'm interested in knowing but not interested enough in looking myself. Someone else will provide the full quote and my guess is that The Bed will be vindicated, at least somewhat.

I'm up to enabling triple D's laziness!

Alas, when I googled this quote, I only came up with an ex mormon reddit thread and this one. Someone more motivated than I will have to take up the challenge.

I tried to vindicate The Bed but gave up after the only relevant link to come up was the exmo subreddit post from yesterday that was almost verbatim with Sooner's post. That maxed out my interest so I'll leave it to others to find the context.

Here is a CS Lewis quite for Kate Kelly and John Dehlin:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.- C.S. Lewis

It's from a talk given at BYU-Idaho. I'm working on getting the full text for more context.

These are definitely his words though.

[YOhio]

Lol. Sooner is asking the exMo subreddit to do his sourcing for him. Tell us more about your rigorous and skeptical search for truth!

[MarkGrace]

ha. Nope, going tomorrow.

[Moliere]

So is this quote going to end up like Pres Monson's dementia....where if you say it enough eventually people will believe it?

[dabrockster]

You should be afraid of him because as a special witness of Jesus Christ he'll likely have to testify against you at judgment. Maybe it's time you soften that big heart of yours and stop trash talking apostles.
