David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 18/09/2026There is no such things as a benevolent patriarchy. Patriarchies always harm society - men and women both. 150
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Surprise, religious freedom for me but not for thee. Something I wrote: www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...sltrib.comLetter: The LDS Church’s actions suggest it doesn’t care about advancing religious liberty as a universal principleLetter: Why hasn't the LDS Church filed opposition to the Texas abortion ban, since it limits the religious freedom of LDS members (LDS policy permits abortion in circumstances Texas made illegal). 170
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Amazing job. Congratulations on all your hard work. Although, I'm confused why would anyone want to leave Rexburg 🤷♂️ 110
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 09/09/2026🤮 Cox sent his housing henchman Steve Waldrip to Wasatch County to tell them if they oppose a new luxury housing development that he will cut off road funding (which is illegal). Such hypocricy www.kpcw.org/wasatch-coun...kpcw.org‘Counties who openly declare war’: Gov. threatens to pull funding over Wasatch Back development clashUtah Gov. Spencer Cox has threatened to pull state funding from Summit and Wasatch counties because of local leaders’ pushback against preliminary municipalities. 041

David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 21/08/2026On the whole, the website is good (although you have to refresh for each sub-tab). The quotes are selective - dislike using J Reuben Clark for example, but quote is topical 000
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Any message by someone we accept as having authority (parent and church leaders) is embedded in our psyche development True for homophobic, racist or patriarchal messages. Real hard to unlearn/heal. Perhaps some part of remains regardless 010
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 20/08/2026This is so typical - blaming the people who leave. The narrative that people leave because they sin, offended or lazy is persistent and very unhelpful. Read E Uchtdorf's Oct 2013 talk, or maybe the book I wrote, "Bridges, Ministering to Those Who Question" 030
David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Moving to Britain in 2008 and learning that citizens in other developed countries don't face medical bankruptcy. And that governments can organize the healthcare system so that all their citizens can access high quality healthcare I also learned that Sarah Palin was full of sh*t 0173

David Ostler @dbostler.bsky.social · 09/07/2026A few years ago, I reached out to Jacob to talk with him one on one. 2 hours later, I found very little common ground. He is ardent and confident in his singular/exclusive worldview, lacking curiosity and disrespecting the dignity of those who think differently. 150
