Me when a non Mormon gets hung up on a basic part of our theology

That's why I try not to make sacrament meeting talks too complicated and don't expect everyone to know what I'm talking about, rather the opposite.

Lessons in 2nd hour can be deeper bc people can ask questions there, but talks should (imo) be simple so visitors can follow along nicely. Also speak clearly so translation software can pick everything up when there's someone who doesn't speak the language well.

Making people feel welcome is crucial. If we seem secretive and closed in, that's just stereotypically culty. If we speak too complicated for others that want to listen, we're making people that are generally "unwelcome" feel even more so. I feel we can adjust to this!

Are you... ok? I can't even fathom how difficult it must be to be mormon and queer. I hope you're able to get out one day <3 much love

Thank you for your concern

#this is so accurate it hurts and is also why i cannot stand testimony meeting #if i attend one by accident you can find me practicing hymns on the primary paino instead #i would rather do something productive for my spirituality than sit there experiencing excrutiating torture

When I was growing up, I had this twisted sense of superiority over other girls because unlike them, I didn't have any desire to commit any of the 'girly sins' like dating before 16 or wearing immodest clothing or showing off my body or spending lots of money in order to be pretty.

Anyways, to the surprise of no one, I turned out to be not a girl, which also happens to be so much worse than committing all of the 'girly sins'. So. Kind of a lose-lose there.

Mormonism was founded when a kid went into the woods and was visited by god, and I’m supposed to *not* shout at God and demand answers???

EXACTLY!!!!!

Workmans comp is going to trial and we're not being paid so uh

Anybody got tips for making ends meet? I can't donate plasma because of a blood disorder and I already work two jobs. The state is taking their Sweet Fucking Time with food stamps so like

Anybody have any ideas? I'm not above begging but we're all broke bastards here so I doubt begging will go a long way. I just am not sure how to survive especially since we're two months behind on rent

As someone who is gay and grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it has been an interesting journey to witness changes

My Dialogue essay about how the 2015 exclusion policy changed my life has been published. The entire issue looks back at this policy from 10 years ago. So humbled to be in an issue with many people I admire.

"The Church used to define how I viewed and understood myself and my orientation. In time, my queer orientation changed how I view my church. I think this is a transition that is common among queer believers. My belief in Jesus's declaration that love is the most important commandment informs how I view the policies and teachings by Church leaders regarding queer people. I am created in the image of God, as are all my queer siblings, and we deserve grace and dignity, which too often has been lacking.

Love is the answer. Love is the key. Love is the filter to discern God's will for us. I pray that all of us, myself included, continue to grow in our commitment to love as the Savior loves and to remove obstacles keeping people from His love."
