Thoughts on Things and Stuff

When is a Lie not a Lie? When you can come up with some legalistic and distorted rationalization to call it anything else.

That is how George Costanza from Seinfeld was able to sleep soundly at night.

What if Mormon Apostles adopted the same strategy in justifying deceptions put forth to the public about the past history and current actions of the church?

That's crazy, right?

Make sure to check out the Talk on Things and Stuff episode with Radio Free Mormon to examine a 1993 talk given by attorney, Utah Supreme Court Justice and Apostle and likely next Prophet Dallin H Oaks regarding how the gospel teaches us about lying.

Where did this come from? I'd like the sources for these rules attributed to Pres Oaks.

Mormon pro LGBT+ therapist excommunication this week: I'm just sharing this with certain facebook pages as well as groups. So, I'm including you here too.  This is the type of ethical pro LGBT+ therapy we need to encourage in Utah. This is such a good interview. I listened to the whole thing with headphones throughout the day yesterday.  I'm worried sending the link will make this junk mail. You can find it on youtube search Mormon Stories 1420.
