great idea. hey Randy, at least Kelly will never be a son of perdition, amirite? it's like the Lord could forsee her inferiority and protected her from that risk.

And you wonder why the church gets negative press and people think you're crazy.
1. Since she was excommunicated she can no longer wear garments. 2. There was nothing wrong with the way she was dressed. Nothing at all.
The "controversy" among TBMs about her outfit has non-mormons scratching their heads and asking each other why Mormons are so weird.

No. It works correctly.
As I have no images, I can be graphic: If the vagina were horizontal, it would gawp on ladders and stairways.

Didn't the First Presidency say something similar in 1949.....
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)
Moreover, they defined apostasy as "people who speak out against leaders of the church, or those who teach false doctrine," she said. "Given that I have always sustained leaders of church, and Ordain Women doesn’t teach any doctrine — let alone false doctrine — this clearly exonerates me. I am not guilty of either of those charges."
Has the statement given Kelly justifiable appeal?

Hilarious. My son enjoys sliding down the stair rail in our two story house. Yesterday, he decided to try sliding down naked - resulting in a frantic attempt to stop him launching himself down, as the gap between the rail and the supports afforded a number of opportunities for his willie to be caught in the works as he continued sliding down. Luckily we got to him before disaster. According to Moses, he would not have been able to hold the priesthood had anything happened. Does the church hold to the traditional "intact genitalia" requirement for priesthood?
You can expect answers..... One however needs to be humble, patient, and teachable enough to seek, learn, and understand them. Problem is, many are not. They already KNOW, like Kelly "knows" the Church is INTOLERANT for not ordaining women to the "lay" priesthood.

She should have been made aware of it in December, but I don't think she was. Because the definition appears in the confidential CHI, and there is no indication from the Bishop that she was explicitly told this, I think there is reason to believe she was not aware. The may 22 letter may have hinted at this and I can't remember, but that would be a little late, like yelling to your child to look both ways before crossing the street to avoid the oncoming cars when she's already half way across.
Lou Midgley 08/20/2020: "...meat wad," and "cockroach" are pithy descriptions of human beings used by gemli? They were not fashioned by Professor Peterson.

I am sorry, it is not about priesthood or religion or whatever.
It is about our (=my) children, grandchildren, our posterity...
