Singer resigns from Mormon Tabernacle Choir, says she ‘could never look myself . . .
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | December 29, 2016 | Peggy Fletcher Stack

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's acceptance of the invitation to sing at Donald Trump's inauguration has spawned widespread debate among the faithful and thousands of signatures on a petition demanding the decision's reversal.

Now the choir's participation has even more fallout: the resignation of a female singer.

"Since 'the announcement,' I have spent several sleepless nights and days in turmoil and agony. I have reflected carefully on both sides of the issue, prayed a lot, talked with family and friends, and searched my soul," Jan Chamberlin wrote in a resignation letter to the choir president and choir members. "I've tried to tell myself that by not going to the inauguration, that I would be able to stay in choir for all the other good reasons. I've tried to tell myself that it will be all right and that I can continue in good conscience before God and man."

I thought on served God to emphasize one's relationship to Him, not to emphasize one's emphasis on oneself.

These people are insane and a danger to themselves and others close to them.

For them to behave in this manner after we have been called every horrible name in the book for voicing the same concerns 8 years ago is just mind boggling.

Keep their names close and remember them. Don’t see their movies, don’t buy their music, don’t buy their books. Shun them. Forever.

And be thankful adults will be in charge.

This s**t is just getting beyond ludicrous. I still can’t put my finger on what exactly drives these people to fits of apoplexy over Donald Trump.

Of course this becomes news.

Not the 100+ that are going to the inauguration. That’s not a story.

Just go then! What? Are you looking for a few thousand ‘likes’ on Facebook? She obviously wants attention by drawing attention to herself at the detriment of the group. How Mormon is that?

This woman: "Me....me....me....me....me..."

Other choir member:"Are you warming up?"

This woman:"No, just talking about my favorite subject".
