(Small point, I didn't write what you have in my quote box, I just quoted it, if you wouldn't mind correcting that in your original. )

Of course! It's tricky trimming :⁠-⁠)

Dr. Moore, I'd love to hear the feedback from those you speak to about this op-Ed piece: "Critical online voices don’t represent the Latter-day Saint women I know" Social and national media acts as if the bulk of Latter-day Saint women are disappointed and frustrated. But many women are not. And it...

I don't think the LDS Church really understands how hard the Sisters work to achieve expectations, fulfill callings (often multiple), and all the while caring for their often fairly large families. It's too much. If missions don't break us, having lots of babies really fast and young does. I've bee...

You may have heard about the LDS Instagram post claiming the church gives women more power than any other religion. Then the thousands of comments. Here is one blogger responding to a post by an LDS chaplain, therapist, and relief society president who wrote shaming LDS feminists. Please check it ou...

I absolutely agree with you. How are you doing? Do you have anyone to talk to? You don't need to think about sexism right now. It's not a big deal. What helps you through this transition period is what matters. Sending love x I am doing pretty good. Had a pretty big important week and a new chapter...

One thing about losing my mom is that she was like air and water to me. She had always been there in my life and, despite being a mother of many children, she never let me down when I needed her.

...one foundational principle: I am of worth. The Young Women’s motto I repeated every Sunday offered this to me in theory... But not in reality. The LDS church does NOT teach that women, in and of themselves, are of worth. As harsh as this may seem, it is only when mothers LEAVE the LDS church, an...

I still like the definition of faith as belief in things unseen which are true. In an atheistic sense it can still work of course. And like the Book of Mormon faith we often don't find out until after the fact if it was actual faith or fantasy. And sometimes may never know. But it's more like hoping...

In a post down thread in "Making Covenants," MG 2.0 observes alas, it seems as though almost anything connected with faith has a fair amount of uncertainty mixed in. It is repeated frequently by religionists that god favors those that act on mere faith over those that insist on knowing. In light of...
