My OPEN LETTER OF SUGGESTIONS to the Brethren

[_sock puppet]

I dunno...some of these are pretty good. I especially like the idea of apologizing to black people about the "curse of Cain" nonsense. Also...to President Monson, "TEAR DOWN this 3-hour block!!" :^)

Why not use current technology? For example, have a webcast from the FP/12 for 1 hour every Sunday. Let the priesthood authority in the home bless bread and water for sacrament. Members with no priesthood in the home would be invited over to the closest home that does--that would count too for effective home teaching.

Then each Wednesday have a potluck dinner for the ward at a local meeting place, for the society of it. Limit the bishop to a 5 minute spiel.

Sell all the Mormon meeting houses, and with the money raised, by computers and pay for internet.

Just think, you TBMs would be relieved of your janitor duties too!

That would be absolutely awesome!!

You didn't realize that for a time I worked in a large corporation as a project manager, did you? We'd have had all the wrinkles ironed out by the end of the third meeting of stake holders. Implementation within 5 weeks.

One of the problems that the FP/12 has is that they keep filling their ranks with upper corporate management types. Mid-level managers and project managers are where things happen.

6. Stop telling young Mormon girls that they are "daughters of God" and "pure" just as they are! They are growing up believing they ARE Pure and sinless, no matter how sinful they may become. Start teaching all Mormon youth that they must be born again to become the sons and daughters of God, as the Book of Mormon teaches.

This is close to being LDS Doctrine but not quite.
This is the LDS Doctrine on this matter:

Plural marriage is an eternal principle. It is founded on the notion that there will be far fewer men who will accept the atoning sacrifice than women. It has to do, somehow, with the struggle in the Garden of Eden, the choice Eve made, and the promise that she would be saved in childbearing. I don't get it all, but the fact that women are more spiritual and willing to accept the spirit is a fact.

Some LDS Apologists will always refer to Polygyny as Plural Marriage. These LDS Apologists will never refer to the 19th Century Practice of LDS Plural Marriages as Polygyny. However, Polygyny and Plural Marriage mean exactly the same thing. And The Book of Mormon Condemns the Practice of Polygyny.
