My recent post about the ex’d Mormon going public about his excommunication once he found out his Stake President was going to announce it in church has a follow-up: the Stake President decided not to go ahead with his plans. It looks as though the Stake President (probably with some help from the PR department at Church headquarters) isn’t a complete idiot – making this kind of thing public is exactly what the LDS religion does not want. This is just bound to increase the number of people leaving every year! A victory for the Ex-Mormon community?

In soccer, we would call it an own goal. The commentary in that paper was full of own goals. Orthodoxy and apologia are a greater threat to Mormonism than post-Mormons will ever be.
I couldn’t agree more. When I was playing soccer (I’m still a big fan and follow it closely in certain countries) I was never above accepting an own goal as legitimate, especially when it was the other team who scored it. GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
