The new policy removes the threat of ex-communication for gay Mormons.

Do they permit stripper mommies at their church or are they run off the premises?

Once again the Mormons bow down to society’s pressure.

I think this goes to a bigger issue, i.e. Mormonism does not base its beliefs on scripture.
Any time someone in charge of the church has a "revelation" they can annul whatever problematic doctrine crops up.
It's similar to Islam in that way.

Actually, a kid is not responsible for who he wound up with as parents.
However, no gay union itself is holy in any way.

Its similar to Catholicism that way, too.

Next, they’ll reverse their decision to pull out of the Boy Scouts.

I'm not going to say anything as I expect our Pope to follow suit any day now.

If you have no scriptural anchor, your boat is free to drift with the currents.

LOL! Your church is filled with butt screwing pedophiles and you think its Gods Church?
Your church is more disgusting than the Church of Satan, which actually has the capacity of following what they claim.
The Catholic church is NOT the New Testament church and your words show how deluded you really are.
Welcome to Free Republic, though!

hard to believe the once-very-moral (after 1890’s revelation, anyway) Mormon LDS church is going the way of Satan
(the children of immoral parents should not be punished, I agree with that much...it is clearly Biblical and moral that the children should not be punished for the sins of their parents or anyone else....... but... the rest of this sounds mostly very very wrong, however.. so very sad for the LDS church)

I’ve heard the church has made some very bad business decisions - one example is some huge mall in Salt Lake. Enormous cost overruns in construction, trouble getting tenants, keeping tenants, etc. all eating into church funds which of course come from the flock. Also the giant mall biz model is not what it once was!
So this is probably a decision based on the Benjamins!
