I hate the assumption that we can trust him without any evidence that he deserves it and a lot of evidence that he does not. -10

Re: NOMference Sunday afternoon Fall 2023

When your church breaks federal law, think celestial. When your church calls (alleged) felons as apostles, think celestial. When your stake president is arrested for abuse, think celestial.

+10 for seeing everyone with your heart. +50 for calling out homophobia and racism.
I'm glad you can see the positive. My first impulse is to call him out. This is probably the only way he has to make a change, as unlikely or slow as I think it is.

Re: NOMference Sunday afternoon Fall 2023

+5 for pushing back against church judgementalism. -5 for confusing callings with service. It's a wash.

I thought, at first, that you were making a reference to the guy who sailed out of the BoM. You mean NOM's Hagoth.

I'm torn. I like that he quoted a woman. I'm not a fan of the quote.

Blaspheme! You have to just take it on everyone's word that Nelson is a prophet. Why else would everyone quote him so much?
