Re: Is the church headed for a schism ?

While at the same time, it seems you believe it would be OK if a man pretending to be a woman would be perfectly OK to be called as one of the three representatives of an all women organization of 7 million women? This is where we truly part ways. I don't believe most transgender individuals are pr...

Re: The church and Equal Rights for women

I haven't researched it and my credit card was declined at the holiday inn but from what I remember the opposition was something along the lines of: 1) Women are already equals, they don't need this! 2) People are gonna do bad things because the amendment is worded poorly. I remember this. I was ta...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?

I don't know if a church support group would really be that positive. Their answer for every problem is more prayer and scripture study. It becomes more guilt, heaped on the person seeking help, because they aren't praying hard enough. The support should be at the pulpit, preaching the need for love...

Re: Keeping up with Trump

Lay off of what? Sorry. "Lay off" meant talking crap about E. Jean Carroll. The amount of money needed to be big enough to get Trump's attention. Shut-up or pay-up. Trump has not not talked negatively about her since the trial ended, yesterday. Maybe he finally learned something. Time will tell. Th...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?

In thinking about it some more, I think the church is a "One Sized Fits All" organization. It's tough to be a square peg when everyone is expected to fit through the same damned, round hole. Some people naturally fit the mold. Some people force themselves to fit the mold. That's where I had been. I ...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?

An individual's definition of mormonism comes from their own experience in the church. Like M_Elephant, my mother would not have described herself as a slave either. My dad was a very good husband. He helped out at home, he was very involved with raising kids, he was a good provider. My mom also had...

Re: How do you define Mormonism?

I’ve been thinking about how I define Mormonism and have settled on this: Mormonism is a series of non-standardized rules that each church member and leader personally interprets differently and then expects everyone else to abide by their own interpretation. ...as long as that interpretation comes...

I am no longer a registered voter. I dont support counting uniquely unsolicited ballots that were mailed en masse. You are not registered to vote?
