Honestly, I bet most of his ward members put an arm around him & wish him well

let's hope that's the case. That's certainly how it should be.

10/24/19 3:12pm

My hope too. Still might be a little uncomfortable for him.

I guess I just wonder if, say he's in a YM calling or something

buffgato

Actually a fair point I hadn’t considered. Parents wouldn’t be

Good thing they are getting rid of YM . . .

So a guy goes ballistic against a kid, reps the Church horribly and you do......

Yes, you do nothing. He should be welcome at church 100% and no "talk" is needed

Just asking a question

buffgato

10/24/19 4:15pm

The "talk" I would do would not be to chastise him, but to give him a chance....

What is the Bishop his dad?

HingleMcCringleberry

His bishop should be his friend. Get it now?

BleedCougarBlue2

10/24/19 4:51pm

If he's a friend, go to his house and say you're there for him, don't call

I really doubt that chatting to this guy in the hall at church is what he (the..

Then say "should his friend chat with him?" Why throw the bishop in it?

It does mean Active LDS Ute Fan, but there was more to the origin of that

We can't judge a school or a church or a political party based on what one, or

10/24/19 3:15pm

Of course not. The disappointing thing is we will be judged because of him.

As I lawyer I can tell you

Oh, I totally agree. In fact, I find the entire

Honestly, I hate the knee-jerk "But we have bad fans too" reaction

It's because making generalizations is stupid.

Not at all a defense of the guy. Just an observation.
