Here’s a radical idea: Pick a church YOU like, and go there. Let your neighbors pick churches THEY like, and let them go there.
I think that concept is embedded in some old document this country used to pay attention to.

Putting all of this together, the Mormon man-god Elohim emerged (created himself) out of eternally existing matter much like the ancient Egyptian's self-created Sun-God Ra. That is a rather odd conclusion to come to, especially since she already discussed something rather different here:
Mormon scripture states that he is merely a physical, exalted man.
She also misses this from "The Family - A Proclamation to the World":
Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
That sort of makes her points that Mormon theology is genderless or gender-neutral a strained one.
Not that it really changes what drives her ultimate conclusion.

"Mormon church wants more compassion for gays"
Mormon leaders unveiled a new website Thursday encouraging church members to be compassionate in discussions about homosexuality.
Church officials insist they haven't changed the Mormon teaching that marriage is only between a man and a woman and that same-sex relationships are sinful.
However, the website includes an appeal to gay and lesbian Mormons to stay in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
-SNIP-
"We must not judge anyone for the feelings they experience," church authorities wrote, saying homosexuality "should not be viewed as a disease or illness."
The website does not use the words "gay" or "lesbian," the terms preferred by the gay community.
-SNIP-
Many gay Mormons say they have been rejected by their families and have left the church.

I predict that within 20 years nearly all of Chrisendom will bow down to the homo’s, and that Islam will continue to spread because of it actually stands up to evil.

Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
2 Peter 2
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Would love to know from LDS why they think homosexuality is ok, but polygamy is wrong when their book says expressly the opposite.

“It is necessary we should understand the character and being of God and how he came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and suppose that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, so that you may see. and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did... Here then, is eternal life to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priest to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, namely by going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity to a great one. . . . (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 345-47

and we are expected to agree that the early Mormons drank the Koolade Joey Smith was pouring out...
the guys werent there because of the paganism of Smith...
They were there for the girls and the chance at institutional piracy.....
Smith was Bluebeard not Buddah...
The girls ???
Well many were there because they fell for a pretty line...
If they had been asked whether they wanted to leave England and go to Nauvoo or the Utah territory to be an extra “wife” to the Mormon “missionary” who was pressing them, and not his beloved legal wife, their fathers would have shot the trash mouth and not sent their innocent daughters off with lustful wolves...
Polygamy was not only illegal in both the US and England, it was also anathema to Christianity...
God said “Thou shalt not commit adultery” but to the Mormon males that was just one more commandment in the Christian Bible to disobay and mock...
few Mormon women accepted the evils of polygamy, it was so unnatural and painful emotionally and psychologically...it was distructive but the Mormon women were bullied and forced into a life of horror and “sacred loneliness”
God never intended for his daughters to be abused by such an unGodly system but the women in Mormonism were so outnumbered by the Mormon males that they were prisoners by group think under the control of of Joey Smith and before the theocratic dictatorship of Briggie Young, and prisoners indeed once BY got them into the Salt Lake Valley..
Will the Mormons embrace homosexuality ???
Of course...
Its the most direct path back to their roots...polygamy..AKA bigamy..
Its been nearly 70 years since the Mormons had an openly polygamous “prophet and president” ...
Heber Grant the last one living in polygamy died in 1945 still “married” at that time to one of his several extra women ..
Polygamy is called “living the principle” by Mormons...
Joey Smith claimed that only Mormon males who had extra women went to the Mormon afterlife as “gods”
Mormonism at its beginnings was based around illict sex and the filth of polygamy and not the Righteousness of God and His Commandments...

You want to know who's bound for hell? Anyone that denies food, clothing, or shelter to a sinner.
I don't agree with much in the way of anything Catholic. But we are judged individually by our own works. So says Jesus, The Son of the Living God, who alone will judge the world.
I will probably be racing to catch up to some humble Catholic nun who spent her life caring for the poor and sick. Or some Catholic priest who lost is life in a far away land trying to teach people about Jesus. I am not worthy to be compared to such people.
So where do some people get off claiming to be Christians and in the same breath claim that it is right to deny people housing and freedom from oppression to any human being? We hate the homosexual life style. We hate what the spread of homosexuality is doing to our culture. But we have to be charitable, kind, and caring to all people.
If the Mormons are inviting the homosexuals to church and are being kind to them and making sure they are protected as people. Well... that's what Jesus wants us all to do. I mean how else are we going to raise these people up and help them repent?

The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created BY Him.
Pray they repent of their falsehoods and see the Truth.
The lds-org is a thief of the Name and the Truth of Jesus Christ.

In the Genesis account the living, supernatural Triune God created all things ex-nihilo, or out of nothing.If she gets that wrong why trust what else she says?
