you still support the Bloggernacle, Jonathan. It seems your self awareness only covers groups you no longer belong to. Should I list the number of bloggernacle types who fit your description of "internal critiques BYU and the church from people who subsequently moved to a position of external critique." *cough*Kaimi*cough*Dehlin*cough*Icouldgoonforalongtime*cough*
That "nasty feeling that I was aiding an agenda I wasn’t aware of at the time and wouldn’t have been entirely happy about" - frankly, bro, you're aiding and abetting still.

Once a week or so, for the edification of those who need not wade in the muck and slime of the Bloggernacle, we will pick a suitable Bloggernacle post that may be of some limited value and Correlate it with the principles of the Gospel (plus, I'll comment on other stuff when I feel like it). "Correlating your apostate posts so that all may be edified since 2008."
The only Bloggernacle sites that don't need correlating.
Disclaimer
Your first mistake is believing I mean everything I write on this blog. Your second one is assuming I don't mean any of it. Your third mistake is trying to find humor. Your fourth is taking it all seriously.
But your real mistake was coming here in the first place (either that, or it's the smartest thing you've ever done).
I mean everything on this site, except when I don't. None of should be taken seriously, except when it is meant that way. It's all supposed to be funny, except when it isn't. I make no claims about being clever or witty, except when I am.

MY MISSION STATEMENT:
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming.
Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art.
All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.
Those who read the symbol do so at their peril.
It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself.
We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.
All art is quite useless.

Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear should follow the examples of Oedipus and Van Gogh. The rest shall keep as they are.
Those who get it will get it. Those who don't, won't. I'm a poet and I know it.
More to come, I'm sure . . . . . . . .
