More Bad News for Mormonism and Politics

One more thing, Fiannan. Sweden is NOT a socialist country. That's just a ridiculous statement.

They are a constitutional monarchy with a representative parliament, multiple political parties, and free voting. Swedish companies are owned and operated by private citizens, not the government. You may have heard of a few of them: Ikea, Volvo, Saab, Ericsson, Husqvarna, Abba...

Bumping for BC's benefit

Bspace, is there an appropriate political party in every country of the world to which LDS members may belong and be worthy of a temple recommend?

Or are some countries so liberal that LDS members must abstain from politics altogether or risk associating with groups in opposition to the teachings of the church?

For example, abortion is legal and widely available in Japan, and as far as I can tell there are no political parties in Japan that oppose it. Does a Japanese member of the church run afoul of the TR question by affiliating with any of the Japanese parties? Does merely being a tax-paying citizen of Japan constitute affiliation with a group that opposes LDS teachings?

The fight-or-flight response (also called the fight-or-flight-or-freeze response, hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
His theory states that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, priming the animal for fighting or fleeing. This response was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms.
