I never heard that from either of my wives. My ex doesn't believe in Mormonism and never did. She told our son when he was really small that after he dies he may be reborn as some kind of animal, so I had to disabuse him of that.
But every time I hear someone's wife has said that I cringe at how abusive it sounds, and how angry such women must be. The abused abusing.

I wondered how many were actually members of the church. Three "Mormon" sources from Affirmation? One woman with a wife and two kids? It looks like the term "Mormon" was being used in the very big tent "SeattleUte is still a Mormon" way.

BYU student govt. is a lot like a communist govt. Hand-picked candidates with sham elections, and no power or authority to the people.

Yes, I know it's none of my business, but SU, are you still on the records? Be assured I do not intend to turn you in and claim the finders fee for ratting out subversives.

So far as I know. I've not been served with any process, anyway.

Just stick to things about which you know something.

as usual, no repudiation, no counter-argument, no facts.
You obviously don't know how student govt. works at BYU compared to other universities. But then again you are from Utah/Idaho. And you think that's how it works everywhere. |
