The LDS Church makes indirect claims through their I'm a Mormon campaign that Mormonism allows for diversity among its members, including feminists, etc. How does it fit then that a woman is excommunicated from the Church for being a feminist? Do they believe that feminism, as they believe with homosexuality, can be a part of someone, but is not something the person should act on? How does that align with the doctrine around integrity, where someone should always act true to his or her character?

The Church has not said that feminism or practicing homosexuality is acceptable, only that feminists and homosexuals may be members.

My final days working for the LDS Church were stressful as I sought out new employment. I felt as if I were working for the Ministry of Truth from Orwell's 1984.

I feel as if I'm posting against the Ministry of Truth here.

I encourage you to seek out the truth for yourself with an open mind and heart, not holding on to your preconceived ideas. Approach the LDS Church again as if investigating, but with all the added knowledge you've gained about the LDS Church since you first joined.

Done and done. Church is still true. What else do you have?

Church is still true.

The Church is true; the Gospel isn't.

The Church is true; the Gospel isn't.

Is that your testimony?

I for one would rather have a Bcspace who endorses pre-adamites and localized floods, that a full on Minister of Truth. You can always wax ministerial on the Mormon Discussions and Dialogue board.

The Ministry of Truth being represented by most of the rest of you.

Church is still true. What else do you have?

I don't think that you can even define what that statement means.

There was a desire at the Church to somehow keep the essays from being stumbled across on the website: unless someone was specifically looking for the content contained within the essays, they didn't want the essays to turn up in the search results.

I'm a bit dubious about things like this. Anonymous and no actual meat. We don't learn anything new. Anyone could have written this.

The one testable claim is the one above. If the essays don't turn up in LDS search then he'd have credibility.

On the first page of something as innocuous as a search for "Priesthood" the Race essay shows up:
https://www.lds.org/search?q=Priesthood ... l&lang=eng

Are you still around? You've been called out in other threads and disappeared, most notably your views on polyandry where the church threw you under the bus. Now you're going to try to hit-and-run here? Pathetic.

...Another time, a colleague who knew more than I did, mentioned that a quick way to get excommunicated was to try and access a certain datacenter. After he realized others didn't know what he was talking about, he went silent. Out of curiosity I looked up the datacenter on the internal network and all that I could find was that the datacenter sat in the Church History Library, everything on it was locked down.

Fish story? Mysterrrious...

Dark Shadows....Barnabas Collins...something evil is going on in that datacenter.
