@stackerco No longer a member, butโฆMy guess is that people tend to reach for the explanation that lowers their stress and cognitive dissonance. So if the real reasons were X, Y, and Z, the instinct is to reframe them into something that feels less threatening to live with.
@KindCombatant@stackerco The relationship between church members and church leadership is not the same as in a marriage, at least not in co-equal marriages. If there was truly two-way dialogue and an equitable power dynamic then maybe more issues could be resolved.
@joehardy871273 @secrets_mormon Text from the article referenced by Forbes: โPerhaps the most striking result reported here is the evidence that the haplogroup E chickens were taken in opposite directions out of Asia and their histories and dispersal pathways finally converged in the Americas after A.D. 1500โ
@Delta Sitting on the tarmac, nearly 3 hours delayed in Portland heading to Seattle. @Delta couldnโt find our pilot. 8 Alaska jets have passed us. We wonโt make our connection. Should have just driven. DeltaIsTheNewSpirit
@Delta@Delta agent announced 30 minutes before departure that a new pilot was on his way. 2.5 hours after the scheduled departure we board. If @Delta had been honest we could have altered plans, driven to Seattle, and gotten onto the flight there. #DeltaIsTheNewSpirit

@NicGreenDesign Iโm not a regular instagram user - maybe thatโs part of the issue with the friends? But in any case I enjoy your posts on this horrible X platform and hope life improves for all of us!
