I am flabbergasted!
The LDS Church tries so hard to teach a high moral standard for its flock...
This is a sea-change for the LDS!
Alas!!
That is just surface, not reality. Been there, done that, read the book, saw the movie, wore the garments.
you left off the /s
Did you read the article?
The article said that the LDS Church feels comfortable with scouts that have same sex attraction as long as they do not participate in pre-marital sex.
The program is much more likely to promote family values on same sex attraction youth who have not yet experimented, than it would pervert fellow scouts.
As a LDS Scout Master and a proud homophobe, I can deal with this and I actually don’t think it will change anything.
Kids who are openly homosexual, cannot abide by the morality contract required in an LDS troup, and those who have sexual confusion are more likely to be strengthened through scouting companions with strong moral values.
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?
