Today at 4:11pm, Pratt, Dave said:
Labeling someone a "woman-hater" is easier than addressing a difficult
issue.
FOR THE RECORD:
This so-called "list", as you put it, is nothing more than an
unauthorized, underground venue to undermine security and church policy
with regard to the manipulation of sensitive data on the MLS church
system.
I do not want my name associated with this "list".
Good bye.
Hold on a minute here, before everyone goes flying off the handle.
This mailing list (no, it's not a 'so-called "list"') is a venue
conversation among a group of people sharing some common interests.
It is unauthorized, but who needs to authorize us to converse?
It is not underground. It's existence is public knowledge and somewhat
widely known, including by people who work for the Church in HQ.
It's purpose is _not_ to undermine security or church policy regarding
_anything_. In fact, I think you'll find that almost every time when
someone has suggested doing so, someone else has reminded them to repect
the policies put forward by local and general leadership of the Church.
If you choose not to associate with us, that's fine, it's your choice. But
don't go storming out of here with your "holier than thou" hat on. I would
dare say that most of us have similar goals in our participation here as
you do (or did).
P.S.
Spencer W Kimball said that fathers preside in the family, not as a
matter of being the most qualified or the most worthy, but according to
divine law and appointment.
We preside as fathers, yes, but we preside as equals to our wives.
As a father, presiding in the home, it is not "misogynistic" to protect
and safe-guard not only my children, but also my wife from spiritual
ruin. It is not a matter of trust, or will power. It is a matter of duty
and responsibility.
Your wife doesn't need "safe-guarding" any more than you do. If you both
agree to set up filtering and accountability aids, that's great. But if
you're doing it without her knowledge, consent, or agreement, and if
you're not setting it up for yourself as well as for her and the kids, I
would humbly suggest you're doing it for the wrong reasons and/or in the
wrong way.
The brethren have counseled us to place our home computers in a common
area. Why? To monitor activity on the computer! It is in that spirit
that I use spyware to monitor all computer activity. It is not
unrighteous dominion.
Nobody, that I saw, called it unrighteous dominion. The way you talked
about it, it sounded like you were quite concerned about your wife and it
gave me the impression that you were being excessive in your desire to
control her.
The spyware incidentally, is also good when the computer crashes and you
want to see exactly what went wrong. Please don't take a cheap-shot at
me and say that this is some kind of advertisement!
I don't think it was intended as a cheap shot. The way you promoted the
particular product that you happen to use made it sound like you were
trying to sell it to us, and would benefit by doing so. That may have been
unintentional, but it was interesting.
As Satan targets the family, do you think he could focus in on your
wife? Remember the Garden of Eden.
Women are no more succeptible to temptation than men are, and some would
even say that it's the other way around.
Once again, good bye, this is my last post!
If that's the way you want it, so be it. But you're welcome here if you
decide to come back.
Thanks,
Mac
