A child in an Idaho faith-healing family died of a treatable condition.
Then another died — and another, and another.
Idaho’s child abuse laws contain such broad religious exemptions that authorities didn’t intervene — before or after the deaths.

Four Kids in One Faith-Healing Family Died. Authorities Could Do Nothing.
An exemption in Idaho law shields faith-healing parents from criminal prosecution for conduct that otherwise would be charged as neglect. It also keeps police and social workers from stepping in to pr...

My yes on prop one sign from @idahoansunited.bsky.social came today. I added my own PS. Just something fun for my Rexburg neighbors to consider on their way to church.

The opposite of faith is not doubt, it is certainty. Faith is the courage to ask difficult questions and be willing to be changed by the answers in ways that make your world a little bigger and yourself a bit less certain.

This is a direct reflection of LDS doctrine. Telling members that they are supposed to "gather Israel" to the US leaves them more accepting of multiculturalism. Explicit anti-LGBT and pro-life teachings/policies being a core feature of Mormonism leaves them more conservative on these issues.
Interestingly, while LDS Republicans are more socially liberal on matters of immigration and racial and religious diversity than non-LDS Republicans, they are more conservative on abortion and acceptance of homosexuality. These things might be more connected than one might suppose.

A deeply fascinating report by @prri.org on demographic trends among Latter-day Saints in the US shows that fewer raised in the faith are retained as adults, whereas more are converts and immigrants. Meanwhile, LDS religiosity is decreasing and more are endorsing socially liberal ideas and policies.
Tradition and Change Among Latter-day Saints in the U.S.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are still highly religious and conservative, but signs point to demographic and social change.

The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.

When the LDS church drops the guise of political neutrality it is always in one direction. Choose the Right, indeed.
I am seriously so pissed right now.
The next 2 weeks in idaho the LDS church is reading a letter across the pulpit telling folks to vote no on Prop 1 in idaho. Which overturns our draconian abortion restrictions thatve led to 37% loss in idaho OBGYNs.
The hubris of men.

Listen, I'm no CES Letter fandog, but calling it a Gish gallop to dismiss it out of hand is just lazy. It's a print document. A Gish gallop is a spoken debate tactic that relies on the constraint of time that simply does not apply when you have all the time and space in the world for your response.

My husband was on a mission in Puerto Rico at the time and he barely knew anything about what happened until he got home a year later. He doesn’t have anywhere near the trauma that those of us who were glued to the tv watching the attacks have.

Before you chastise me for the intensity of my sneezes, consider that I do not choose to live in a body that violently responds to a little nose-tickle as if it were the greatest threat to its existence. I already suffer enough without your added condemnation.

I was in the MTC in Provo. They announced something vague over the intercom that made little sense without context. We first learned the scope of what happened days later when a district member's mother smuggled in a newspaper. It was by similar indirect means we learned of war in Afghanistan.
