Feeding their persecution complex would just be silly. From what I hear about Sarah Westerberg, the Title IV coordinator (an anonymous "insider" posted here), she's not exactly a shining beacon of empathy. Whoever put her in that position was asking for trouble. That's what sloppy due diligence gets you. Must have been the "warm fuzzy". If she is really involved in Honor

I'm fascinated with how the HCO really put their foot in it and still can't figure out what stinks.

"Pornography causes men (no mention of women in this case) to be disinterested in marriage." Did these guys graduate from 3rd grade? There are tons of studies on the social pressures causing guys not to marry.

Church officials have had time to think and respond with a typical institutional "F--k You". TBMs, look at your religion. When did being right become more important than being good? Hearts like flint.

"Our secondary focus is fugging payback". From the article: "In all Honor Code proceedings, the university strives for fairness, sensitivity and compassion, taking into account all mitigating facts and circumstances." That's their best Big Brother lingo. Tell it to all the rape victims who were punished or expelled in the past. There's your "compassion".

It's because you've been sold the "American Dream". It's called that because you have to be asleep to believe it. You're supposed to have kids and a mortgage so you can be a slave to the ruling class. So, they push the marriage (or hook-up) paradigm on you in pop culture. But okay, suppose you don't want to be lonely. You have to raise your vibration first because that's what you wan

No, but maybe it would have helped. It's just a coming of age thing, I guess. Religion is a little more intense than Santa though. Nobody ever killed people over Santa Clause or the tooth fairy. I guess children wouldn't think of the inquisition. Bless their hearts.

Well, the Church didn't commission the study so it doesn't count. Seems just like old times.

Moroni 9:9 "... For behold, many of the daughters of the Lamanites have they taken prisoners; and after depriving them of that which was most dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue--" Obviously the Lamanites had nothing on Joseph Smith.

This effect has been validated by double blind parapsychology experiments. The F--ked up part is a GA using it to pimp his screwball religion.

It's crazy when you realize how much you'd been had. It reminds me of a scene in the cartoon "Rabbit Hood", back when cartoon violence was fashionable, where the Sheriff of Nottingham is building a house in the king's royal garden when it dawns on him that Bugs Bunny fooled him.

For those who don't want to read the whole thing, here's the summary at the end: "The Rape victim is from California and may not be available for court proceedings following a suspension or expulsion from BYU. Due to the fact that arrestee Nasiru Seidu provided a copy of the Provo Police report Randolph, who then took the report to BYU, knowing that the report could cause the victim of th

Try to find out what ward they're in. The only person they might listen to is their bishop. If you can't, find another LDS guy to talk to them for you. You may have noticed that on top of P/A, these guys are misogynist. Welcome to Mormonland. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

Joseph Smith was a "fuck you" kind of guy. Fuck your rules, your boundaries, your laws. And if you don't love me then fuck you too. Good for you for seeing the doctrine for what it is. Do you still need religion? Pick any one you want, they're all made up.

So after all this time, I have to go to my priesthood leaders to determine my culpability in the Church's emotional abuse of me. Well, I guess I have to go back and confess. Kids shouldn't be letting adults screw up their heads.

I heard about that new Twaron polymer. It's made with a special catalytic process using Twaronite, a mineral taken from a meteorite that came from Kolob. BYU geologist Twar Johnson was perusing the Church vault after Thomas S Monson asked for some time alone with his hot wife Tiffany Johnson. After looking at several artifacts, a peculiar meteorite caught his eye. Johnson immediately recognize

In any cultural setting, there are written rules and unwritten rules. The unwritten rule is if a rape happens the woman must have done something to provoke it. In LDS doctrine, the stuff I learned at youth conferences and never could wrap my egalitarian mind around, has it that men are supposed to be the aggressors in sexual escalation and women are supposed to resist. If a guy gets overzealous i
