Polygamy & Apostolics

In my opinion the "I was stirring or yanking" statements are way thin on believability, whether coming from a friend like myself or Rhoni herself. It was a very pointed attack at both men and Apostolics with no hint of humor.

That is just the way I saw and it and I, as a man who has tried to love my wife and family as Christ loved the church, was offended (I quickly got over it and forgave Rhoni but I was offended).

When Jones speaks, everybody needs to listen, even E.F. Hutton.

Amen, this.

When "stirring the pot" causes incrimination upon a whole organization, and all men in said org are broadbrushed as being dominating over women, I think the "stirring the pot" has went beyond mere fun, and has the potential to offend.

Let's not take what she said too seriously. Sometimes there is a need to blow off a little steam in a place where others are big enough to chalk it up for what it is...just steam and nothing more. When there is a need to be heard, then let the rest of us hear and understand what is being said that is sometimes NOT being said.

I don't think anyone was incriminated or any men broadbrushed and no one should be offended...unless they just want to be. Any response to her initial post should have been little more than just humor. Certainly if there were any substance for concern here, I would have been the first to have respond negatively.

Bro. Strange, I love you dearly, and you know that. I appreciate your chivalry here. But, I am sad to say that I do believe I am chalking this up for what it is...it is steam alright--but that steam seems to continually come from the same smoke stack, and the source of the fuel under that smoke stack is the cause for our concern.

You know that my love and regard for you is mutual.

I can understand your concern here, but there may be more to the story than we know about. Some times I think that we need to give the ladies room to rant for a while until they get it out of their system. They will feel like they got a load off their shoulder but then realize what they said was not really what they meant.

In other words, I don't take anything here very seriously.

You're too funny!

My problem is that it seems like a rant like this comes from the some source all too often. Then when somebody objects, the victim card is played.
