Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the News

So if she isn't excommunicated, I wonder how it will be justified leaving her alone while going after Kelly and Dehlin.

I'd say what she is advocating for is much more damaging than either Dehlin or Kelly.

By the way this awful woman has a I'm a Mormon profile.

Yes. Isn't that OUTRAGEOUS?!

It's a legitimate question. She is advocating for Apostate positions. What's the difference?

Whoa. Her recent twitter feed is really bad. I know we talked about her before. But was she as openly racist back then as she is now?

I'm still trying to figure out why the Brethren haven't shut down this site yet.

Yeah, if I were her ecclesiastical leader I'd at the very least ask her to change the name of her twitter handle so it makes no reference at all to the church. Being racist isn't grounds for excommunication, but it for sure is sinful.

That profile is funny. What is a "theology scholar"? What is an "international studies certificate"? Where would one get a master's degree in "women's spirituality"?

Home school and home birthing. Yeesh.

Except she goes beyond just racism and states that racism is official church doctrine. It seems like they are either going to have to initiate her court of love, or it will be an acknowledgement that they pick and choose what apostasy can be advocated for.

They already do that.

One of my favorite forms on outrage porn on social media is exmo's/progmo's complaining when someone is not excommunicated. Funny.

Not that I expect you to ever engage in discussion, but what type of message do you think it sends to initiate excommunication against women's ordination, gay marriage, polygamy advocates, but ignore people who are teaching racism as LDS Church doctrine.

So we can add racists and white nationalists to the list of people that are treated better than homosexuals?

Do you have some good data on the percentage of LDS homosexuals, racists, white nationals, polygamy advocates, women's ordination advocates, etc, that are excommunicated that you can share? You must have something like that to reach the conclusion implied in your last question.

Entering into a homosexual marriage is immediate excommunication. Racists and white nationalist can marry, as long as it is opposite sex without excommunication. Gonna go out of a limb and say that racists are more welcome than homosexuals and treated better.

First of all, to extrapolate that the church ignores such things or doesn't care because they don't excommunicate THIS PARTICULAR PERSON RIGHT NOW is dumb. And applying the transitive property in such cases is dumb.

Second, complaints about lack of consistency ("leadership roulette!") always make me scratch my head. The church is a collection of humans, each with a wide variety of backgrounds, personalities, inclinations, temperaments, etc. Of course there is going to be a variety of outcomes and decisions. Furthermore, what is fair or consistent or right is a subjective thing. If you are outraged when the universe doesn't bend to your personal notion of consistency, then you have a long miserable life in front of you.
