Allow me to translate: ‘We will kiss your butt, please destroy us last.’
I am violating Godwin’s Law but this is the Mormon Church doing its own version of the Munich Agreement. It is pretty obvious the LGBT movement has set its eyes on several restricting religious freedom. At a minumum the LGBT movement wants to make opposing the LGBT lifestyle as socially repugnant as being a segregationist.
You are sick.
Famous past Mormon doctrines:
-Blacks are cursed.
-Plural marriage.
All things that changed with social pressures. Mormons are about to do another flip-flop, right before our very eyes!
When Dracula knocks at your door he can’t come in unless you invite. Invite him in and well...you know the rest. All I’m saying is bad move to become relevant again.
“LGBT people should be protected from discrimination in housing, employment and other places where discrimination exists, they said, but religious freedom must also be protected in such laws.”
Mutually exclusive.
I am tired of all this anti-”discrimination” nonsense. People should be allowed to discriminate the way they want. People run businesses, including tiny 1-shop business. They should do what they want, as surely as the customer should be free NOT to patronize them.
If customers don’t like their discrimination (whether advertized or simply understood over time), the business will die off.
It’s about freedom of association. It should apply in all cases.
The real church of Christianity needs to stand up in one voice and call this for what it is....SIN!
We need to be in prayer for all of the lost folks in the LGBT and Mormon community.
“We’re here.
We’re Queer,
We’re in Yer Stake, ......”
and so on, ad nauseam.
You can’t lay down with dogs and not get fleas. Stupid stupid stupid people. Shame on them for not calling evil evil.
Ten years ago, the Mormon church was supporting Proposition 8 in California and traditional marriage.
Now they are almost in favor of it.
I think they got infiltrated quickly by the liberal-secular cabal.
Are they really so naive to think that gays will be happy with just a piece of the pie?
Translation: Other people need to knuckle under to homosexual aggression, but not us.
Mormonism is a business/cult, they shape themselves to fit what serves the organization, they are not Christian, they are their own religion with their own bible written by Joseph Smith in 1830, “The Book of Mormon.
Whatever changes they make are for solid marketing reasons, remember that high profile politician Mitt Romney, was a Mormon religious leader, as was his father, and most of his line since they first arrived about 1842 in America, to personally serve Joseph Smith, having been converted in England.
To quote Mitt Romney wayyyyy back in 1994, from a letter he wrote.
“”For some voters it might be enough for me to simply match my opponent’s [Ted Kennedy] record in this area. But I believe we can and must do better. If we are to achieve the goals we share, we must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern. My opponent cannot do this. I can and will.””
“”We have discussed a number of important issues such as the Federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which I have agreed to co-sponsor, and if possible broaden to include housing and credit, and the bill to create a federal panel to find ways to reduce gay and lesbian youth suicide, which I also support. One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.””
Jesus said in Luke 17 that the last days before his return would be like the days of Lot (Sodom), where homosexuality and pederasty were practiced. Like Sodom, where men broke the everlasting covenant with God by legislating homosexuality and pederasty, the prophet Isaiah predicted 2500 years ago that the entire world would be like this in the last days and would bring judgment on the world...
Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Why, you might as well be the local motel owner who knowingly rents out rooms during the day to the local prostitute who uses them for anything but sleep!
