The wrong way to be Mormon
Re: The wrong way to be Mormon
Yeah, I would not use Lou as an example of a moral compass. Moreover, the LDS theology of gender is pretty poorly worked out, so I wouldn't pay much mind to anyone who is arguing on that basis. It is deeply unfortunate that anyone claims to understand gender that well, but I would go with science long before I went with current LDS theology or Lou Midgley.

in my opinion Lou is representative of a large number of Mormons, especially Mormons in High Priest positions on up to Bishop and higher leadership levels.Kishkumen wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 10:41 pmYeah, I would not use Lou as an example of a moral compass.

That is probably true. Of course, Lou is pretty out there in the hard case way he carries the flag of wanting compassion.
