@KimballCall This is not about condemning Rylee. It’s about the church’s social media department making poor decisions about who they feature in their posts. The church should not feature individuals who openly practice behaviors contrary to the Lord’s commandments.
Both Rylee and Pono openly sin against one of the Lord’s most sacred laws, the Law of Chastity.
They should not be featured in posts.
Your positions are inconsistent.
In Rylee Arnold’s case, the criticism is mainly about her clothing while dancing. Even if someone personally considers some of her outfits immodest, that judgment is at least partly contextual and subjective. More importantly, Rylee is not publicly arguing that Church standards of chastity or modesty are wrong, nor is she encouraging others to reject them. The concern is about how she dresses, not about explicit opposition to Church teaching.
Pono Skousen’s case is different because the conflict appears more ideological and public. If he uses his platform or fashion brand to affirm or promote same-sex relationships in ways that contradict the Church’s teachings on marriage and sexuality, then he is not merely falling short of a standard or making a debatable personal choice. He is publicly advocating a moral position that is in tension with the Church’s stated doctrine.
There is a significant difference between imperfectly living a religious standard and publicly promoting beliefs or practices contrary to that standard. A church can reasonably feature imperfect people without implying that every aspect of their lives is exemplary. But when it prominently features someone who actively advocates against one of its moral teachings, the risk of confusion or apparent endorsement becomes much stronger.
So my objection is not that the Church should only feature morally flawless people. No such people exist. My concern is that there should be some distinction between ordinary human imperfection and deliberate public advocacy that contradicts the teachings of the institution doing the featuring.

Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children to death & Candace Owens says she is “obviously not guilty” because big pharma made her do it.
Now women are lining the streets to cheer for the murderer as she arrives in court after they raised $1,000,000 for her.
This is pure evil.
Females have an excuse at every stage of their life for when they do evil things.
<18 = They're a child.
>18 = On their period
Pregnant = Hormones
After pregnancy = Post-partum
Not pregnant = Period again
Can't have a period = Menopause
Anything but accountability.
Lindsay Clancy deserves the death penalty. I don’t care how depressed she was or what she was taking. If someone can choke her own three children to death, she cannot ever be rehabilitated or trusted in society.
Fuck anyone blaming drugs, therapy, or her husband.
Women who plead insanity are 50 percent more likely to be successful than men. A woman can murder her entire family then say she was depressed and the chances are high that she'll never spend a day in prison. This happens all the time. Andrea Yates drowned FIVE children in her bathtub and right now she's living in a comfortable, low security mental health facility. And she's only there because she wants to be. She's not an outlier, either. A woman was just found "not guilty by reason of insanity" a month ago after drowning her baby in a bathtub. The judge decided that she was suffering from temporary psychosis because of COVID or some such nonsense. Now Lindsay Clancy hopes to get the comfortable "mental health facility" treatment after strangling all of her children to death. And she may very well be successful. The darkest, most depraved manifestation of female privilege.

It’s wrong for husbands to cheat on their wives with a mistress.
It’s also wrong for mothers to cheat on their kids with their career.
In RARE cases it is necessary for mothers with young children to work.
In MOST cases the family can simply live more modestly, sacrifice vacations & square footage, & actually raise their own children.
Feminism has robbed children of their mothers.
The damage will be studied for generations.
@BreeSolstad If an individual is having mental issues so debilitating that it leads to violence — they are unfit to live freely in our society and should face severe consequences.
The Shiloh Hendrix case isn't even a close call or a grey area. She was charged and convicted of a crime for saying a word. If that's not a violation of the First Amendment, nothing is. This is one of the most straight forward free speech issues we've seen in a long time.
@HerbalistChief You can litterally buy seeds from the same store that you buy fruits and veggies. Seeds are just inconvenient so they are removed. Bad take.
