This will definitely have an impact on posting volume around here. Not sure if JL can handle this new instruction.
Memo to Latter-day Saint social media commenters: Your church has added strong wording to its General Handbook, condemning “threatening, bullying, degrading, violent, or otherwise abusive language or images online.”
There is no exception for those claiming to defend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including users associated with @DezNat (or Deseret Nation), who frequently employ harsh rhetoric and drawings of knives and guns to attack church critics or Latter-day Saint progressives.
If online threats “of illegal acts occur,” the new section says, “law enforcement should be contacted immediately.”
Further, members should avoid “all statements of prejudice toward others,” the new wording says, linking to the handbook’s section on prejudice, which says, “This includes prejudice based on race, ethnicity, nationality, tribe, gender, age, disability, socioeconomic status, religious belief or nonbelief, and sexual orientation.”
Latter-day Saints should share uplifting content, the updated handbook says, and “strive to be Christlike to others at all times, including online, and reflect a sincere respect for all of God’s children.”

Hilarious that the Trib has to point to church handbook instructions re bullying to try and stop church-sided commenters to stop commenting.
This feels a little like the Trib yelling "Dad!"Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

This seems like a threat based on socioeconomic status, which, as you now know, is not permitted by the CHOI.Originally posted by Commando View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Was there an announcement made when GBH aged past the next oldest (I think McKay)? I remember the birthday party when he turned 90, but nothing that announced "I just outlived someone." I could be wrong, though.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Seems like more of a weird and meaningless statistic than a flex. Slow news day at church HQ, which is a good thing.Originally posted by LVAllen View Post"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
