I don't think the article specifies where she is currently living. Just because she used to be a RS Pres in Chicago doesn't mean she's still there.

I'm surprised that such a racist pig like Lee would permit something so progressive under his administration. http://www.ldsgenesisgroup.org/whatis.htm

More "texperbole". Nice.

I suppose that depends on how you define "expectations". In terms of deliberately mischaracterizing prior debates in order to villianize his opponents, he is Mr. Reliable. Metaphysical certitude.

Sorry, but leave out "pig" (which, I confess, is dramatic license) and the statement accurately reflects the discussion here.

If you truly intend to persuade, rather than polarize for your own amusement, you would be much better served by making your point in a positive way (and in this case it would have been a good point before you ruined it with your presentation). The way you serve your idea here it's like getting a steak covered with dung. I hope whoever issued your dramatic license will revoke it immediately. Maybe you simply need a good editor.

I actually used the spell checker this time. I will try to do it more often, but no promises.

So don't pretend the statement doesn't reflect a fair amount of sentiment. Quote:
Until I see some similar rhetorical anger directed at your fellow posters, I'll thank you to spare me the lecture on what a civil place Cougarguard is, sans my comments.

I think I should have been more detailed when I wrote before. The discussion might not have become so derailed. Cathy Stokes lived in Chicago as recently as 2 years ago. Does she live in Chicago now? I don't know. Also, she has been involved with projects originating in Salt Lake for quite a while now. She is involved with the Genesis Group and was involved with the Freedman's Bank Records genealogy project. Thus, it was not unusual for her to be in Salt Lake as part of these projects. There is a good chance that she happened to be in Salt Lake and not flown in specifically for the project (assuming she still lives in Chicago). Also, she has a certainly prominence as a member. For example, she is mentioned in the following Church news article:
http://www.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/v/ind...004e94610aRCRD She also is featured (along with many others) in the book or pamphlet called Why I Believe (http://deseretbook.com/store/product..._id=100035353). Thus she does have some prominence in the church and make sense that she was involved with the Sharpton visit. Last edited by pelagius; 05-22-2007 at 08:57 PM. |
