as the resident judge in Israel,

Is there a difference between being opposed to a stance and working against that stance?

Can a person be a good Mormon and voice disagreement to the Church stance on same sex marriage?

Bump for BC.

Yes.

No. But unfortunately they might be able to get a TR (harder to do if we can hear your voice). Being a member in good standing has little to do with actually being a good Mormon. At best, it's a sign that you might be a good Mormon.

Tell that to Packer.

Tell that to Packer.

The assumption is that one is not lying and not ignorant when answering the questions.

To clarify, take gambling - the Church opposes gambling in all forms. I am not opposed to gambling, however I do not attend rallies in favor of gambling. Is it honest of me to answer the TR question about supporting things opposed to the church with "No, I do not support groups etc opposed to the Church"

Same situation except I do attend rallies in favor of gambling and I canvas in support of gambling. Have I now crossed the line concerning groups etc opposed to the Church?

Looking forward to how this thread develops. If bcspace's understanding of 'in' is any indication (see his sig), this should be interesting.
