The Folk Prophet Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Doesn't the mention of Hitler automatically end the thread? Funny. I was going to reply to this thread (below) by saying, "Didn't Hitler genuinely believe what he said too?" and then thought...no....Reductio ad Hitlerum. I think she genuinely believes what she says. Sure she likes the publicity though. Litzy and Backroads 2 Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 I can appreciate someone's genuine conviction of a belief Generally I wouldn't reply this way...but...since JaG opened the floodgate.... Hitler! Litzy and Just_A_Guy 2 Quote
Capitalist_Oinker Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 ...his wife's petition gets denied so he leaves the church. It's called "Thomas Marsh disorder". And it'll work out for him about as well as it worked out for Bro. Marsh. Vort 1 Quote
The Folk Prophet Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 The LDS version is to compare something to Satan's plan. The Satan's plan doesn't quite work in this case, because I think that we generally believe that Satan knows darned well that he is evil, deceitful, trying to destroy, maim and hurt, and if and when he justifies himself, he's intentionally lying to destroy, maim and hurt. He knows he's wrong. He just doesn't care. Of course we only presume that isn't also true of Hitler. But as most people tend to think they're honestly justified and in the right...(a la Kate Kelly).... Quote
Leah Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Or, "Kate Kelly hasn't had public attention for too long so she's going to spout a bunch of stuff to get attention again."And she uses spin and lies to get that attention. Quote

But as most people tend to think they're honestly justified and in the right...(a la Kate Kelly).... It's not a simple substitution (Satan for Hitler) in the conversation but rather in the law. The likelihood of someone making a comparison to Satan's plan on an LDS thread is directly proportional to the the length of that thread. The likelihood is multiplied by a sizable constant when politics are involved. Litzy and The Folk Prophet 2 Quote

Guest Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 Her 15 minutes were already gone. She is just looking for another 15 minutes and has not yet realized her own irrelevance. It may not be her but Huffington Post or whoever gave her that interview wanting to keep her on the limelight as a burr in the LDS saddle. Quote
bytor2112 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 “Whenever you get that kind of pushback,” she said, “you know you’re doing the right thing.”Sigh. I am betting Lucifer felt the same way right up until Jehovah and Michael were showing him the door.... Quote

pam Posted April 28, 2015 Report Posted April 28, 2015 It may not be her but Huffington Post or whoever gave her that interview wanting to keep her on the limelight as a burr in the LDS saddle. Who brought everything to the media's attention when all this started? It was her. So I can't for a moment put the blame anywhere else but towards her. mirkwood and Leah 2 Quote
Pa Pa Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 Does this mean you are okay with guns in public places now? In Georgia it is allowed, but most companies will not allow you to do so. Thus, we are required to follow the rules of our employer. So if we did bring a gun to work and was asked, if we lied then we are not being honest in our dealings with our fellow man. A required yes to the question for a Temple recommend applicant or holder of a recommend. Quote
mirkwood Posted April 29, 2015 Report Posted April 29, 2015 It may not be her but Huffington Post or whoever gave her that interview wanting to keep her on the limelight as a burr in the LDS saddle. Based on her past track record I highly doubt that is the case. Quote
