Gotta make those contributions tax deductible somehow.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostCES Letter Foundation?
"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. Uchtdorf

Why is that eliciting such a reaction from you? 600,000 people have downloaded his letter. It's the Common Sense of the new schism.Originally posted by Moliere View PostHe's holding a press conference
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have not resigned, nor do I anticipate a future resignation.Originally posted by DrumNFeather View PostSorry Boss, he's yours. If we have to take DP, you gotta take JD. Them's the breaks.
I don't have to claim John Dehlin nor do I claim him. I also don't have to claim Daniel Peterson as I'm not a believer. There are benefits to being a fence sitter.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Seeing as you're not a believer exactly what fence are you sitting on?Originally posted by mpfunk View PostI belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have not resigned, nor do I anticipate a future resignation.

I don't think that's the only way to evaluate the integrity spectrum.Originally posted by Shaka View PostI find it interesting that this guy's mind has been made up for quite some time yet he hasn't had the integrity to write a letter of resignation. I guess writing a resignation letter doesn't come with the right amount of publicity.I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.

One of those downloads was mine, but then I saw that it was 60+ pages long and promptly deleted it.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostWhy is that eliciting such a reaction from you? 600,000 people have downloaded his letter.

Maybe not but name one good reason why this guy has left his name on the records. He's been waiting the church out so he can cry foul and drum up donations to his site. I do not find much integrity in that particular strategy.Originally posted by Brian View PostI don't think that's the only way to evaluate the integrity spectrum.

I sure as hell didn't read it. I'm just wondering how he spent 100s of hours on this thing. I think I could have compiled basically the same issue list if I googled "lies of the LDS church" or a similar search.Originally posted by Sullyute View PostOne of those downloads was mine, but then I saw that it was 60+ pages long and promptly deleted it.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

The fence that the church has a lot of good qualities and can help people. However, I acknowledge the huge issues with the church as well.Originally posted by Shaka View PostSeeing as you're not a believer exactly what fence are you sitting on?As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

I don't think that's sitting on a fence. I think that's more like wallowing in a mudhole of ambivalenceOriginally posted by mpfunk View PostThe fence that the church has a lot of good qualities and can help people.

I have never met him. Sounds like you know him pretty well. So I'll trust your judgement.Originally posted by Shaka View PostMaybe not but name one good reason why this guy has left his name on the records.
