Lot's Wife replies: bruce, this is unpersuasive. You tell us that the LDS church is today supporting organizations including the Muslim Brotherhood. But neither of your articles says anything like that. Your "joint project" was a $15,000 Mormon donation for a library in Orange County made over 15 years ago. Do you have anything more substantive or more recent? Your des

Reminder: We ask that you do not post entire articles but instead give us the link and also include an exerpt with a comment on why you are posting it - how it ties in to Mormonism or your thoughts on the subject, etc. IOW, don't post just a link without any text but also don't paste in the entire article (due to potential copyright/credit issues). Thank you.

I don't understand your selected board name. "Member" - "but still trying": Still trying to do what? Stay? Leave? Defence of the Mormon faith is not allowed on this site. Ordinarily posts like yours are deleted. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I will leave yours up, for now. You have received some good, and gentle, responses. I suggest you read them.

Reminder: When Eric said we'd try out having limited discussion of politics, after years of it not being allowed, he included the requirement that the poster connects the topic to Mormonism. That means it is up to the person originating a thread, or writing a reply, to relate their post to Mormonism. If there is no connection then likely the politics of the topic will get your post deleted. We

Recently, more discussion about politics has been allowed at RfM. It is still asked that you relate it to the main subject of Mormonism. There is no space here for party politics. This Is Not The Place when it comes to discussing policies of the current administration or current events not related to Mormonism. It's up to the OP to do the relating when they start a thread, not up to Admin to deci

Robust discussion is expected and encouraged here. We won't all agree with each other. Please disagree respectfully.

Some limited political reference is now allowed at RfM (we went many years with a zero tolerance policy on this) but the OP is asked to relate their post to Mormonism. There is still zero tolerance for partisan political comments. Please refrain from discussing or even mentioning current politics in the form of, but not limited to, US domestic and foreign policy, elections, appointments, scand

New people drop in all the time. It's great to see. Quick word of caution to everyone but especially new posters - think about the personal information you relate. Can your topic and/or personal details (such as area where you live or an incident widely known in your location) give away your identity to those who know you? No problem if you don't mind but big one if you are intending to be ano

Adam - check back to your posts on July 7/8. You ASKED to be banned. You WANTED to be banned. You ignored many requests and explanations about how to be a welcome poster. You criticized Eric, Board Owner and Founder. You bad-mouthed the entire board. You complained about all the posters here, every one of them, except one or two that you liked because they backed you up. You said nevermos shouldn

I know, Lot's Wife. We were sorry too. That's why I've tried to preserve the topic here. I wanted to just delete or edit posts on the original thread but the above post of Beth's was the only one that didn't mention the current Senate hearing, POTUS, and other political references too prone to argument for RfM. If a post mentions Kavanaugh or Trump or Senate, although timely for the #MeToo di

Beth's original thread on this topic had to be deleted due to veering off into current US politics (re ongoing Senate hearing). Other threads on that subject have been deleted also due to being too political. To be consistent we had to delete Beth's as well, despite a good discussion on the #MeToo issues. Here is one of Beth's posts on her now deleted thread. She asks to keep it to the LDS ang

Hi saucie: It's not directed at only you (even if it feels like it). More that we're in flux, reviewing the rule. Mod decisions can be challenging as many things are not black/white and some interpretation and nuance may be in play (especially with the recent change in status in some areas from illegal to legal). Also, as always, it's a question of mod time. We may see something on a thread we ha
