Isn’t that the whole point of the endowment? “You are hereafter ordained to become hereafter kings and priests.” Or something like that.

Am I the only one doubting this 1 in 5 figure? I lifted this from the comment section on the article itself. You aren’t the only one. So this would suggest that more Mormon Kids identify as LGBT by a factor of 500% than the latest Gallup poll of just overall college students. Sounds unlikely. And S...

Sorry, PIMO? That's new to me.

Sorry. I’m a physically in, mentally out member or PIMO. I guess that’s the Reddit vernacular anyway

Anyone can answer anything they want for the questions. The Church knows that. On that I would suggest if the Church really wanted the members to refrain from being LGBTQ advocates they'd throw a specific question in there. Here's the question as it reads now, apparently: Do you support or promote ...

But, I have another comment I wanted to make. Speaking with my Sister-in-law recently she announced she's an LGBTQ advocate.

To be clear, this sealing happened in 1894, 50 years after Joseph Smith died. It was done under the direction of President Wilford Woodruff. It's also worth noting that it wasn't until the last part of the 1870s that the doctrine of three degrees in the Celestial Kingdom becomes a common belief in ...

He spoke on the matter with absolute clarity: “Break off the shackles from the poor black man and hire him to labor like other human beings; for an hour of virtuous liberty on earth, i...

In the last couple of days a couple of statements have come out from the church or, church sponsored events, that have me wondering if the church has found their pivot on race. It’s clear that the church sends out surveys and listens to feedback. They have to know that one of the top reasons people ...
