looks like Weed has become a poster boy for the Church. I believe that he is sincere in his praise of the site (I'm satisfied with it too) but I hope for his sake that he always remains faithful. His life will be hell if he doesn't.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostIt doesn't look like this has been posted yet:

It looks like someone has to pick up the ball and run with it and this time it's the Pope.
In his remarks, Benedict quoted the chief rabbi of France, Gilles Bernheim, in saying the campaign for granting gays the right to marry and adopt children was an "attack" on the traditional family made up of a father, mother and children.
"People dispute the idea that they have a nature, given to them by their bodily identity, that serves as a defining element of the human being," he said. "They deny their nature and decide that it is not something previously given to them, but that they make it for themselves."
"The manipulation of nature, which we deplore today where our environment is concerned, now becomes man's fundamental choice where he himself is concerned," he said.

Also, everyone should read this. It is the first real data on what behaviors create negative outcomes for LGBTQ young people. Everyone needs to know the effects of what they are saying/doing.

I'm just confused by its purpose as it seems incredibly ambiguous. I think we can all agree that you can't vote on your gender.Originally posted by UtahDan View PostIt's been a long time since I saw something that pissed me off this much.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I'm just confused as to the purpose of the clip. Is the church trying to say that boys were boys in the premortal existence? If they are then what's the issue?Originally posted by pellegrino View Postwhich is only implicit because of the title (a deft reference to the proclamation)

Im not trolling here as I guess I'm trying to figure out why this clip makes UD so angry.Last edited by Moliere; 12-28-2012, 04:44 PM."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
