Not everyone wants to belong to the church after realizing it's full of fanciful tales and lies.

This conversation on language is ridiculous. Intelligent people often swear and it doesn't make them less intelligent or less moral. That's a stupid judgment.

[HiveRadical]

sworn or swearing enemies?

Dang you omiolo! You darn...

It's uber cliche, I know.

1 of the most profound moments in my life was watching my Mission President & a Stake President go at it, both with the desire to move the work forward. Both filled with the fire of inner vision and determination YET each humble enough 2 become one after some of the most explosive of clashes. There's strength in council, I believe in part, because it pits ideas & gives them advocates/ it's Divine jurisprudence!

Hive and I are old sworn enemies, in fact one of us has sworn to drink the blood of the other but I can't remember which one =)

We agree on little but won't we do agree on is of utter most importance!

I think Ted Kennedy said it better when referring to him and Strom Thurmond though!

long way of from the barbarity of those who, rather than getting their child to eat a pancake, try to get their children to be terrorists or suicide bombers who kill innocent people because of a hateful culture and upbringing, even if it was veiled in the mask of a false piety and wrong headed understanding of sacrifice.

that can be as abhorrent as the child sacrifices of the pagans. She's trying to better the life of her child. She may be flawed in language and thought, but on many good and key points she's correct and right. That doesn't mean we give her a pass on the other stuff, but it doesn't mean we throw it out of proportion. Inflammatory and crude and profane language has horrible consequences, but she's a long long

[HiveRadical]

making a realization was tied to her realization. There's some low quality content, but to be frank I run into much much worse simply in studies of past cultures. Using that kind of language is horrible and appalling and should be condemned for the foul practice it is. But I don't see it as being worse than some person, not using cuss words or words we generally associate with inflammatory language, yet advocating abortion or eugenics or some other clinical word that has reference to practices

[HiveRadical]

on using that language. She can see the stupidity in the irrational position of her child, to me that's at least a step closer to realize that we all have positions we take, decisions we make, daily, that are just as stupid and ill founded as that of her child. It's wrong for her to be so careless about her language, it's illogical, irrational and stupid, as stupid as her daughters refusal to eat certain things. I don't know. I think the fact that the article had the point of her daughter
