As a former drinker, I can attest that even one drink can impair your judgement. Big time. Now there’s some scientific proof.

Spreading a rumor
Hey y’all, I’m back from my June vacation. Lots of deep, deep thoughts to share, but they will have to wait for another day. In the meantime, I heard a rumor while I was on my vacation, and I was wondering if anybody else had heard it. The rumor is that the Church is beginning to ask all wards in the U.S. to house missionaries with members rather than continue to pay rent for the missionaries to live in apartments. Apparently, in one stake in Colorado this is already happening: during sacrament meeting, it was announced that the ward has to find a way to house the missionaries with the members. During High Priests, I was told confidently that this is a new Church-wide policy. I have no idea if this is true. Sorry if I’m bringing up a subject that has been discussed elsewhere. In the meantime, is this rumor true?
Downtime – UPDATED
Due to a billing error on the part of our hosting service, the M* website was accidentally deleted from our hosting server. We are working on restoring the comments and posts. In the mean time all comments have been closed. Thank you for your patience.
UPDATE: It appears that our soon-to-be-former hosting service is foolish enough to run its automatic account deletion process before it runs its nightly backup processes. As a result all posts and comments made after 6/12/2006 at 1:00am have been permanently lost. We are very sorry to all who composed thoughtful posts or comments that have fallen into the abyss of inept technology.
We hope to move to a more responsible hosting service in the very near future. Comments have been re-opened and posting will resume. Feel free to recommend a good hosting service.
Secularists vs. right-wing fundamentalists: who’s more of a threat?
The post below on the Church and FMA has taken an interesting turn, and I think it’s worth constructing a new thread on this issue. The question at hand is: who is more of a threat to the Church, leftist secularists or right-wing Christian fundamentalists? In this post I will argue that right-wingers are more of a threat in the short-term but that ultimately secularists are the far bigger threat.
