Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
I did not intend for force to mean war. Peeling people away from their bubbles is good. Allowing people into our bubbles and being welcome into theirs is better. It’s not clear to me whether you disagree entirely with my point or if you sorta agree. On the one hand, you seem fine with the name-call...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
There is something to this. I love my husband who is currently at church. But occasionally I get angry that he can remain in a church and just plain not WANT to understand that his tithing dollars go to bad mouthing sexual abuse victims like the church did in the Joseph Bishop case. I try to talk t...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
Thanks. I acknowledge your point as I have acknowledged Amen’s. I am not refuting these points or positions. I believe you. I hear you. I think change is necessary and that it will only happen by and through external force. However, I don’t see my family members or your husband as hateful or prosel...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
Backing up a bit here, the jolly penguin didn’t say “some”saints. I would hate to put words in his mouth and understate who he is accusing of hatred. If you live in America, and America starts a war, are you a complicit killer? Is the blood of dead soldiers on Dick Cheney’s hands or yours? If Ameri...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
I dont think calling all saints hateful is kind nor accurate. Hateful or not. Kind or not. Like angel said: Those who "stay" are in some way complicit in supporting a hateful organization. Not only bigoted and hateful, they spend millions protecting predators. And... I don't see anywhere in this po...

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
Ever since the Pope decided that priests can bless same-sex couples, so long as the blessing does not resemble a marriage ceremony; the blessing is not to be treated as a sacrament, as marriage is between men and women in the church. This has been disconcerting to many Priests and even parishioners...

Many kids who are abused grow up not feeling comfortable around the gender who abused them.

Re: Pope, Gay blessing, Conversion opportunity
Several of the kids who were abused by Mormon pedophile in my family are now LGBTQ. In my experience, yes, those who remain in the church are quite biased. My lgbtq kiddo went to church one last time with a non-lds friend who accompanied for support. Only one person talked to them, and that was by m...

Re: Tithing Unsettlement
Bishop of the Year!!!! If I was Bishop: One temple recommend for you! And you! And you! Like Oprah…: everyone gets a temple recommend! In my experience, a pedophile getting a TR taught him what he was doing wasn't so bad. Pay tithe - pay to play. Indulgences. For all the evil that is reinforced by ...

Re: Do you have a god?
Many believe to attain a state of liberation and inner peace is letting go of the constant cycle of desire. Heaven? Hell? Dust to dust? Unattached to outcomes, at peace with any outcome, the journey itself is the destination. Escape binary dualism. Within - inner peace. External cannot be changed or...

Re: Tithing Unsettlement
Honesty is big for me too. When I turned my temple recommend in it wasn't because of tithes - don't want to think about how much $ was dumped there. I went in person to turn it in, was pretty hard on my bishop. He refused to take my tr from me, so I laid it on his desk. The priesthood is supposed to...

Re: Not really in to Thanksgiving...and the sappy prayers
Family gatherings are always bitter-sweet. I used to feel more competitive than I do now - I think when younger there can be some bragging about kids/career/accomplishments - long prayers of blessings etc. With age, kids get settled, you see the ups and downs in everyone's lives, you've had your own...

JS was a pedophile, is this what was published? The wicked take the truth to be hard...

Great for kids to learn there are wolves in sheep's clothing, that some church leaders are p...

There are healthy, and unhealthy relashionships. Codependent, controlling, 100% all-in sheeple =conformity Interdependent, healthy self-reliance, respectful - independent thought.

Re: The Reality of Woke Ideology
Thanks. Interesting. For some people, the war probably has a start date based on something written on a cave wall. I live in Utah. At one point, this land was not part of the United States neither was it part of one nation under god. And yet, I feel like it has been long enough and this is my home....
