Re: Mormon divorce rates
I'll take Smith... not only was he as vile a man as Young, he intentinally deceived tens upon tens of millions of people by creating a fraudulent religion to profit from. We have different views and that's interesting; I like the discussion. From what I see, Smith is at least not as racist and bloo...

Re: Mormon divorce rates
You are correct. Sexism is built into Mormon God’s grand design. Brigham Young: “Relief Society -going to meet again - I say I will curse every man that lets his wife or daughters meet again -until I tell them -What are relief societies for? To relieve us of our best men -They relived us of Joseph ...

Re: Mormon divorce rates
While an undergrad at BYU I took a paid side job as a research assistant. Among other things we looked for was divorce rates among Mormons. Our survey results showed it at 52% with the National avg being 48% at the time. The university asked the results not be published and the project was scrapped...

Mormon church gives women power and authority?
I didn't see this topic being posted; I think it's too good to miss. A devotional talk by Sister Dennis claimed that the church was second to none by giving women power and authority. The Instagram exploded with tons and tons of women in the church screaming "nonsense." Then many were deleted, and m...

We Rate How Offensive These 27 “What Not to Say to Asians” Things
This new article, https://open.substack.com/pub/chumark54/p/we-rate-how-offensive-these-27-what?r=1rk5hn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true Sort of remotely "related" to last week's article. But it's not a very serious discussion, just my family's brief reactions to some common...

Re: "Don’t Call Trans People ‘Brave’,” Really?
For some reason I didn't get noticed about many of your responses. Thanks for reading and for the comments. Some provided different views and I appreciate it. And indeed, if a compliment in fact makes someone uncomfortable, we need to respect that person and not use that compliment. My article is NO...

Re: "Don’t Call Trans People ‘Brave’,” Really?
I read your article and found at least some interest. I would expect that in most situation a trans person wants to fit into the natural flow of human relations without trans being a focus issue or problem. In almost all situations saying your brave would be an othering statement putting up a barri...

"Don’t Call Trans People ‘Brave’,” Really?
Hi all, This is my new article this week, titled "Don’t Call Trans People ‘Brave’,” Really? https://chumark54.substack.com/p/dont-call-trans-people-brave-really But this article has nothing to do with Mormonism; it's an "extension" to my article from last week (https://discussmormonism.com/viewtopic...
