Revoke “Scientology Rule”

Six weeks ago, a post appeared on By Common Consent proposing a “Scientology Rule” by which Latter-day Saint bloggers and, presumably, even non-blogger Latter-day Saints could measure themselves to determine whether they are appearing cultish to outside observers:

If your religious behaviours are such that if practiced by a Scientologist and observed by you would seem cultish, reevaluate them pronto! The best way to imagine this is to place our behaviours in the context of Scientology.

I have felt uncomfortable about this formulation and rule since the first day it was posted at BCC.

NEW location for ABEV

We have moved ABEV from Typepad to WordPress. The current theme is just a place holder. I will be trying to develop a better look moving forward, but this new url will serve us nicely. We request all to update their links, if they so desire, to the new url:

https://abev.wordpress.com/

We look forward to more ABEV blogging around here in the near future.
