I'm moving to Santa Clara, California . . . .

If you're abusing your missionaries, what does that say about your religion?

I don't know. What's it say about your religion if you're sexually abusing your altar boys?

That having practicing homosexual priests is a bad thing?

[rah]

Hrm? They treat the young men the same if not worse. It's not right, don't care who you are. If you're abusing your missionaries, what does that say about your religion?

As I said, If you're treating your women like second class citizens, what does that say about your religion.
I don't even have to make fun child molesting priests.

But I can say that in all my years as an altar boy I was never abused. But I think that since I had a twin brother and we were always assigned together is the main reason why it never happened, since they could never get us alone.

What on earth does that have to do with the Mormon's mistreating their missionaries. Sure, the Catholic church isn't perfect - does that justify the Mormons doing what they do? Hardly.

People who have been sexually abused for real don't like to talk about it. I'm not sure what you gain from all this, rah.

As for the church treating women like a second - class citizen, why is it that my boss is a woman?

So you're a third class citizen. Good to know.

And no, it doesn't justify what the Mormons do. But it is funny when you call them out on it. Which was my ONLY point.

The Catholic church has been good to me. So it bothers me, when I see other folks being taken advantage of.

Have a good evening rah!

First, last - last, first. You know this.

If she's a Mormon mish - offer to take her and her roommate out to dinner. It's criminal how the Mormons treat their missionaries. At least we feed ours and we don't pay ours based on their number of conversions as if God worked that way.

A Mormon mission is a calling, not a job. They don't get paid anything, the family foots the entire bill.

ACK!

[Aeson]

Also should add that not only is it a calling, it's a calling you volunteer for. Having you or your family pay for the thing you asked to do isn't really being "mistreated".

[SlowwHand]

Don't you have some adobo cooking to supervise or something? Is that a calling?

[Aeson]

I wouldn't mind at all to be called to supervise the eating of chicken adobo :delicious:

[MrFun]

How about we get back to giving me attention?

[rah]

After everyone finishes dumping on Ben for not knowing what the heck he's talking about. No different than any other thread.

So when are you heading out there?

[Addled Platypus]

If my memory serves me right...hopefully times have changed that

Elko, NV has a stop light on the freeway (2 lane) the first/last gaming shot in NV....no warning either

They used to make pork adobo on my ship quite often when I was in the Navy.

Pork Adobe was a more accurate description.

ACK!

[Uncle Sparky]

My favourite is pork belly adobo.
