John Dehlin is reporting on Mormon Matters that Elder Marlin Jensen of the Seventy met with disaffected member, including gay members and families of gay members who were hurt by the church's involvement in Prop 8, and after listening carefully to the people (including taking notes) Elder Jensen noted that he was a "third tier" leader in the church and offered an apology "to the fu

I just got the following comment on the YouTube video I posted today. The video has nothing whatever to do with marriage, and in fact discusses harsh treatment of women in Mormonism, so I thought the following comment was just plain WEIRD. From AnonEmouseMan: You want to take babies & give them to two male Homosexuals. You want to deny the RIGHT of a baby to have a Mommy. Shame on y

I'm in Hastings. One panhandle, and a SW Iowa, and one family who didn't mention a location. I think it would be nice to get together, even if just briefly for dinner or something.

I actually liked Microsoft Word better than WordPerfect for a short time, but that was when both were DOS-based programs, back before Windows 95 and the creation of the "requirement" for running Windows to run the word processing software.

. . . and I have a typing service. As a professional typist I could never justify switching to MS Word (which in my opinion is overall inferior although there are a few nice things that WP doesn't do as well). Nowadays I do more than 90 percent of my word processing in WordPerfect, then convert it to Word for the client. I am reasonably proficient with Word, but WordPerfect is so much easier
