Re: #87448 - Seven deadly sins
I think the fact that they're endemic makes it hard for people to recognize it as a problem, rather than just The Way Things Are.

Yeah I've always felt like some of the more obscure ones were just people trying to be cute.

Re: Apocrypha vs Canon
I had a great Relief Society lesson on the apocrypha on my mission. Small Podunk Newfoundland and it was the best-researched RS lesson I ever had. I definitely think there's room to expand the discourse. I agree that when you look at the whole of things, seer stones and such aren't any weirder than ...

Re: Rant of the Day
OMG our landlord was showing our apartment when we were on vacation and he left the apartment unlocked for the *entire weekend afterwards.* I was so mad.

Re: quarter-life crisis: to PhD or not to PhD?
A branch is a congregation that's too small to be a ward.

Re: Rant of the Day
I'm mainly jealous that your landlord only requires one followup, as opposed to multiple followups and eventual withholding of rent money until the problem is fixed ;) To actually answer your question, in my current apartment the management will give notice if repairs are going to be done that you d...

Re: Bonus Misogyny
Yeah that part stuck out to me too, but I've frankly been exhausted all week and didn't have the energy to write a more detailed answer. Reminds me of the related issue of guys telling girls "You're not like other girls." Like, great, I'd be thrilled to date a guy who apparently thinks tha...

Re: Causing Trouble at Church
For sure, I don't want to imply that nobody would ever leave the Church again even if every ward perfectly reacted in these situations. Like Integrating Editor said, for me it's less about keeping people in the Church and more about mitigating the harm that certain aspects of the Church can cause pe...

Re: Causing Trouble at Church
Okay, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you just saw the title of this thread and not the body. No matter how much this guy loves folk doctrine or how much your ward eats it up, out-there folk doctrine is a completely different problem than deeply ingrained, damaging cul...

I didn't write my answer until 104 hours. A lot of temple stuff is hard to Google and people give up on that route.

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10
Yeah well it's my third trimester so it's probably carpal tunnel/fluid retention in general. I also find that my hands feel really arthritis-y in the mornings, like the joints hurt and it's hard to bend them. But I'm already doing basically everything I can to increase my fluid intake and limit salt...

Re: Causing Trouble at Church
I agree so much with all of this. Having one or two "troublemakers" at church can make it such a more inclusive place for everyone.

Re: Rant of the Day
The knee-jerk reaction some people have to deny that racism plays a role in things just baffles me. And then I realize that a lot of people have a deep-rooted fear that anything that benefits black people and other minorities is going to harm them. No wonder the state of racial inequality is what it...

Re: Missionary health
Yeah...inspiration had its limits, and I've heard of way too many health things being handled poorly to think that it's a good idea to put a guy with no healthcare training in a position to essentially give or withhold access to medical treatment.
