With all due respect, the term is more specific than that. It refers to mutual masturbation whilst the participants are standing or sitting in a circle.


I think you might also add that there is often a person in the middle, on their knees, and taking it all in, one at a time.

Just saying.

What you're referring to is bukkake, not a circle jerk.

You know, this isn't even interesting. There is a simple solution to Sister Foster's issues:

LEAVE.

I don't say that to defend the LDS Church. I say that to defend the sanity and integrity of anyone who sees the LDS Church clearly enough to recognize that there is something deeply wrong and then decides that they just must be publicly vocal about it.

Because, guess what? The people attacking you are wanted by the LDS Church much more than you are, and you will most likely get exhausted and leave anyway.

So, just skip to the punchline, and save yourself and everyone else a lot of time.

Or, find more creative ways of moving the ball forward than shooting off poison notes about the mortality of LDS Church leaders.

Because, really, what kind of organization do you think this is? It is one that is very much contingent on the priesthood authority of these men, and the obedience of church members to that authority.

If that ain't your scene, you should probably ask yourself what you are doing there. And if your honest answer to yourself leads to you shooting off more of these messages, again, do yourself a favor and find the exit door.

I don't think it is a good idea for you to persist in the empty wish that the LDS Church be something that you have seen in it that made you hold on this long. It is most likely not going to be that thing. It is going to be the church run by white men who see themselves as called of God to run his church. It is going to be the church that has a racist theology in its founding text, as you well know. It is going to be the church in which women do not have the priesthood and will have men calling the shots in the name of God.

That's just one person's opinion, but I think it is a pretty sound one, if I do say so myself.

Remember, the people who are fighting you represent what is the accepted norm within the LDS Church. If they did not, then you can be sure they would be called on the carpet for it. They would be the ones tasting Church discipline. Notice that this does not happen. No one reins them in. No one corrects them.

That should tell you all you need to know to make the decision that is most realistic and best preserves your welfare.

And yet if one types the word "BS," it gets censored. Ha!

Have you ever seen tapirs willing participate in such activities? My thinking is that such tapirs have either been drugged, coerced, or seduced into some questionable cult.

Well said. Although things are getting better, the Church (and its members) can be very hostile for anyone questioning their faith or the truth claims of the Church.

There is much work to be done.

I have been saying for years that I don't understand why more prog Mormons don't join the Community of Christ.

One of my progressive Mormon friends recently took the plunge and made the switch. She was just ordained and is extremely happy there.
