Re: Ignorant people frustrate me...

Honestly, I don't see a problem with MOST of those responses. Sure, some were over-the-top, but others I thought brought up really good points that many Americans would agree with. Don't lump all of these people who disagree with you into the category of "ignorant". I am sure some of your ...

The thing is, there are NOT studies either way. There is ONE bogus study that used false science and was retracted. All the other ones do not show a correlation between vaccinations and autism. Anyone not vaccinating because of a fear of autism is simply misinformed and is not doing the best thing f...

I would have to disagree with you to an extent.

I do not know why Heavenly Mother has not been more involved in the visions/daily affairs of mankind. The fact of the matter is that we really don't know much about her at all, which I feel is a shame. Perhaps she is more involved with other worlds or peoples. Perhaps she does not wish to be involve...

I definitely do not believe that the basis for denying blacks the priesthood was doctrinal, as I still do not believe that denying women the priesthood is doctrinal. One can be a faithful member of the Church while still disagreeing with certain parts of it. That is where personal revelation comes i...

Ummm. . .not sure what you mean by the initiatories being strongly biased towards women. I felt as though they were highly biased AGAINST women, as were other portions of the endowment ceremony. Secondly, I do not believe the church has to be all or nothing. I believe the gospel is true, but this is...

Actually, I was very disappointed with Waldorf and Sauron's answer. I thought they took her very founded and understandable uneasiness with this chapter of scripture and tried to make it seem like she didn't have any reason for feeling the way she did. I have personally met MANY, MANY women in the c...
