Re: How do you define Mormonism?

Mormonism: A religious ego-echo chamber of folks in fancy undergarments who believe magic handshakes, a white and delightsome ancestry, and $$ get alpha males into a super exclusive celestial club filled with harems of women. How do you define ex-mormonism? Different than this? The ex-cave dweller:...

Re: MLK

Local radio is broadcasting MLK speeches today. Uninterrupted. I think if an evangelical baptist minister gave the same speeches today, the minister would be treated unkindly. I will be very surprised if the country that is disavowing religious freedom and respect for all religions still has a holi...

Re: MLK

I thought it being Mlk day maybe we should reflect on how the church didn't like him and called him a communist etc etc. I don't have any qoutes or articles about this so I am hoping others can jump in and help on this important subject. I am 63 so I barely remember any Mlk speeches. Thanks I saw a...

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...

Correct.

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: 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...
