And they'll never be able to go back in their archives and figure out who is and is not gay and strike them from their rolls. <br /><br />They've been inducting dead ancestors almost since day one. You bet some of them are gay too. Even if they had kids. We know what went on when homosexuality was persecuted. It was hidden behind marriage and children. <br /><br />I applaud those brave enough to turn their backs on a religion they grew up with. <br /><br />If only the same courage could be shown by those raised in a political party that has become one that works against their own best interests. mlaiuppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13792165896828163411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-2160589500935764382015-11-16T11:52:58.297-09:002015-11-16T11:52:58.297-09:00The Mormons that I have known throughtout life are...The Mormons that I have known throughtout life are what I would describe as "quietly arrogant or haughty". This goes for both men and women, to the point of being disrespectful in a very passive aggressive kind of way. I had the misfortune several years ago of having a 20 yr old LDS girl working under me while I was in my mid thirties, single and childfree. Her middle name was "insubordinate" if not "incompetent". Naturally she didn't last long as she dropped out of BYU to marry a guy she had known for six weeks. It's just as well cause her ass was on its way to getting fired.

The Mormons I know have, yes, graduated from Mormon Universities, and are engineers and doctors and teachers, but they are still sure that they are better than the rest of us, and sure that only they are going to heaven. The girls are now allowed to do missions, but are then expected to marry, not finish school, and have lots of babies for the church. I don't think I know more than one Mormon female with an actual degree, and she returned to school in her 40's after her husband was fired from a corporate lawyer job. Their four boys are all BYU educated, and in various stages of mission/school life. None has married. None are trash though...they are polite and well-spoken...kind of Romneyesque, actually. Spooky, really.<br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-88816909008738022282015-11-15T16:34:44.537-09:002015-11-15T16:34:44.537-09:00Trashy is as trashy does.

But when you’re working with the uninformed, undereducated, and people who do not use logical thinking skills they should have learned in high school. Unfortunately we all must deal with backward and ignorant people at times who use an illogical book over 2000 years old that has also been translated who knows how many time, written by people who only had no primitive concept of the world they lived in.m bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613077834795914289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-31800688803056408792015-11-15T09:20:05.203-09:002015-11-15T09:20:05.203-09:00Hopefully, this will be the first of mass exodus f...Hopefully, this will be the first of mass exodus from churches for their oppressive and over-reaching practices.
