Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I think it's awesome that the Church has been engaging the NAACP in recent years, and I have no doubt that it is a sincere effort to bridge a gap created by our prior practices. I sincerely hope it is successful.
In addition, I would be elated if the Church also took the final conciliatory step of officially apologizing for past practices and acknowledging that the priesthood prohibition was cultural and not doctrinal.
But as long as Elder Oaks can't find the word "apologize" in the New Testament, I guess that won't happen.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Very coolOriginally posted by myboynoah 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

Whenever someone expresses some hope or optimism about the church, funk swoops in to piss on it. What a lovely way to live.Originally posted by MartyFunkhouser View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

i like funk as much as the next guy, but it's as if funk doesn't want the church to do any good because it would upset the narrative he's come to adopt over recent years.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostI'm like LeBron James.

I would be thrilled for the LDS church to do good. I'll acknowledge when they do good. I think the goat vending machine at Christmas was really quite cool and a good thing. I know a lot of people criticized the Affirmation donation, but I ultimately agree that it was a good thing that they did. I remember specifically commenting that it was a good thing when MoTab met with the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Affirmation donation?Originally posted by MartyFunkhouser 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.'"

In July 2018, a donation was made by the church of $25,000.00 to Affirmation for LGBTQ suicide prevention training. There was some criticism, which I didn't agree with, that the donation should not have been tied to something specific and should have just been a general donation.Originally posted by Pelado View Post
