If it's wrong, I don't want to be right.

I have theory that this is part of why pop culture these days is so mediocre. How many people reach adulthood without learning how to handle criticism? Constructive criticism is a great gift to creative people who know how to use it. It's sometimes hard to deal with and it can sometimes hard not to take it…

I think another part of it is that the quality of clothing now tends to be pretty flimsy. Even those who of us who do know how to repair and repurpose things are likely to only put in so much time when a particular clothing item is utterly shit, and you can easily and cheaply replace it.

We've always been exceptionally matter of fact with our kid. So far, the only problem was when she was about three and went through a period of fascination with identifying cars. Walking across a parking lot, she loudly had to pipe up in excitement, "VOLVO! HEY, I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE!" I had to quietly clarify…

I can go one worse. My sister was friends with a set of identical twins who had first names that rhymed, as well as rhymed with their last name. It was gaggingly "cute".

I should have named my daughter Cheescake Merlot. :P

I had a very bad relationship with my immediate family, for almost a decade. Now, with the exception of one sister and her family, everyone else has gone full blown jack-Mormon. They still frown on my choices and will defend the LDS church to the ends of the earth, but they are rather hypocritical, so I can just…

I know of more than a few situations where somebody was sexually assaulted, and they received punishment for it. The fact they survived it meant they obviously didn't fight back hard enough, so they apparently wanted it. I wish I were kidding about it. A few quotes courtesy of various past Mormon prophets, to kind…

Agreed. It was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through, but it really was worth all the misery and drama.

I more or less had a nervous breakdown, and spent the next eight years or so trying to work through all the trainwreckage. I left the faith, because I couldn't live a lie in order to keep certain people placated.

Great minds think alike, I guess?

Fellen? If that's pronounced even remotely close to felon, that may be one of the world's most accurate names out there.

I'm kind of more thrown at the fact they've got Barbie in a Junior uniform. Barbie's wearing duds for 4th and 5th grade girls.

I guess that's who they're trying to market to?

I prefer to think of my bedtime hairdo as the "Sideshow Bob".

My jeans have snags from multiple housecats sitting on my lap and kneading/smurgling my leg. I'll take my rip-off fashion statement.

Especially when you consider how the church recently threw Brigham Young under the bus in regards to black men and the priesthood.

He was speaking as a man, dammit! That was personal opinion, not revelation!

Yeah. It's been interesting to watch some of the backpedaling.

The RLDS faith aka "Community of Christ" has theologically changed so much that it's really different than the Mormon church. It wouldn't be much different than her wandering into almost any other protestant church.

It's sad for Kate, the only people who really understand where she's at are either active Mormons or…

Yes. One of the OW ladies made a good defense as to why the church leadership was out of line on this, using policy, theology, and standards of the church. http://ordainwomen.org/wp-content/upl…

Some people take the temple recommend question, "do you affiliate with any group or individual whose teaching or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or do you sympathize with the precepts of any such group or individual," and go really overboard in…
