The countdown clock for Temple Marriages has just started ticking. It won't be long before we "get married" at the courthouse, and "get sealed" in the temple. It's already the norm in many parts of the world and will soon be the only way it's done in any temple. Sealers (and Bishops) will no longer have any "power vested in (them) by the State of XXXX." The Church will be strictly out of the marriage business...

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I really feel like I should care about this issue more than I do. I'm strangely indifferent. I'm not sure Prop 8 was necessarily bigoted nor do I feel this is the end of the world as we know...I feel fine.Comment

I just heard on the radio that the judge that overturned it is openly gay."I'm going to go back to CUF now, where the censorship is less, the average IQ is higher, and we don't have to deal with so much of this nonsense. Goodbye." - SoonerCougComment

I thought Creekster was blaming his canard? Scratch that, he was probably blaming his canary.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I promise you, the Church has plans in place for this to happen. They anticipate that the change will have to come and are prepared for it. All it takes is the removal of a few words from teh marriage ceremony and having to bring a civil marriage certificate to the temple with you when you are sealed. At this poin, I think the change is inevitable, and probably not too far off.Originally posted by nikuman View Post

Agreed. Heck, I live in California and I really don't care. I do care that I will have to hear people bitch and moan about it at church on Sunday, but other than that I am not so concerned.Originally posted by Art Vandelay View PostComment

Personally, I think that would be great. No more denying friends and relatives access to marriages involving LDS couples. Win-win.Originally posted by statman View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Yeah, why haven't we been doing this for years, other than the fact that we'd have to spend more on weddings for chapels and such. I'm renting my daughter out a big Catholic or Protestant affair - ain't no way she's having a ceremony in some ratty cultural hall right after the Pinewood Derby.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostAwesomeness now has a name.
