So the Church feels responsible to protect the Family and the moral fabric of our society. They feel Gay marriage is an affront to all of the above and should be opposed by any and all lawful means. How does gay marriage in their opinion threaten the family exactly? Because it is an immoral act con...

You'll find those elucidated in great detail in Whitmer's own An Address to All Believers in Christ , reprint in my possession, but found in various and sundry places around the 'net. I'm new here so perhaps things are done with a certain relaxed attitude. That's cool. I did want to share that Mark...

I actually sat down with the Bountiful Temple President and had a pretty cool conversation about that. I doesn't concern me anymore. The language of the Temple is more symbolic than I first realized. And 5yrs from now, I'm sure I'll say the same thing. Big UP! Lamanite Uh oh! Lamanite's here. Hope ...
