I doubt many of the “offended” were tuning into GC and listening to Elder Bednar’s speech.

I was offended enough to walk out of my parents’ house (where I was watching conference) until that session was over. This was not the warm individual my wife remembers as president of Ricks giving this talk.

It’s easy enough for someone like him to say “Thou shalt not take offense”, but to borrow the landfill analogy, some of us have to deal with the occasional garbage shooting up past the surface. (And I’d just as soon it stayed buried, but I’m not actively digging it up.)

As long as Gospel Doctrine in my ward is taught by someone who insists on a universal flood and that Goliath was at least nine feet tall, I’m not going to waste my time going back. It’s just not worth it.

Unfortunately, this is all in a relatively small town, with stereotypical small town attitudes. Ever since I found the Bloggernacle a couple of years ago, this has been my most reliable connection to the church. I have found wisdom and true charity here, even when addressed to others going through their own, individual struggles.

You and Job, my friend, You and Job. Betrayal is a hard, hard thing. Somehow the knowledge that you are in the right doesn’t do much. I guess all I would ask is who is hurting more from your absence, you or them?
I do realize its never quite that simple because your presence could be plenty painful to. Throwing yourself into the stream of wicked barbs seems a lot to have asked of us. Best of luck in your journey.

I see now that I am at least welcome at BCC. What bothered me the most was that everyone involved knew that my wife was struggling to get back into the church, and that she was dealing with some serious issues. The people she had taken into her confidence took that confidence and turned it against her. You know, bad things happened because we were bad people, that sort of thing. I even brought the bishop copies of one of Elder Scott’s talks to show him we were trying to follow apostolic counsel (You are right, Steve, his talks are better read than watched. I thought I was the only one who was bothered by the way he looks at the camera). That’s why I am posting here anonymously. With that experience, it is hard to trust anyone again.

Guy, Manti would be a much larger city if everyone fled there following imagined warnings from God.

good point.

and were Laman and Lemuel “in the Church,” even assuming one existed then?

I’m not sure–but I understand they were involved in running a liberal-minded, yet grossly intolerant Jewish blog.

What about Moses striking water from the stone? The JWs damn him for that act. “Impersonating a Divine Office”, they might call it.

(oops, my apologies for ‘jacking)

Um, I really enjoyed Elder Bednar’s talk, except for the feeling he was talking to me directly.
