    I love MWS. It's probably the main reason I still check Facebook once in a while.

    I'm surprised that some Mormons still think birth control is bad. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

      Were you the one saying that MWS was actually owned and started by the church?

        No, but I do remember someone saying that. I think someone said it was started by the church asking some women to start it (thus it's not officially church sanctioned) as a countermeasure to Ordain Women.

        I just read through the comments. Looks like the author is getting destroyed by not only women doctors that are debunking most of her claims but also by the typical MWS followers, which tend to be TBMs. My guess is that they will pull the article at some point.

          It figures that she's a homeschooler.

            Why else do you think she has ten kids?! Men LOVE a woman in yoga pants. Which of course, pleases God enough to bless them with more childrens.

              She is secretly Catholic.

                Someone replied using Matt Walsh as a source and endorsing his viewpoint.

                On the plus side, this linked post is crazier than the Mormon Women Stand post.

                  Apparently having too much compassion is a bad thing. I wonder if this is related to the tolerance trap.

                    She's got some great stuff in there:

                    One of the sins of our world is the sin of broad-mindedness.
                    Better to close-minded or, at worst, narrow-minded. Just like Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount - Wo unto the broad-minded, for they shall be cast down to hell.

                    It is impossible for a person who has no loyalty to a particular team to really get into the game.
                    impossible?

                    An overwhelming love for those mired in transgression can become a trap.
                    God is love, but not too much love, especially for those sinners in need of a "physician".

                            When I read in her bio: " Liz worked part-time in philanthropy while raising her children.", it made me chuckle. I'm not sure why.

                              one comment on the article:

                              I often leave church feeling discouraged because kindness and compassion have taken the place of everything else in the gospel. We are becoming like the pharisees. The Pharisees had their own system of spiritual accounting that allowed them to convince themselves that they were very righteous when they were, in fact, very wicked. We learn in Matthew 16, that the pharisees were adulterers.

                              Matthew 16:1-4:

                              "The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
                              2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
                              3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
                              4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."

                              As Christ said, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law judgment, mercy, and faith..." (Matthew 23:23)

                              Have we not done that with kindness and compassion in our day? We have left off judgment refusing to admit that homosexuality, adultery, immodesty, divorce, selfishness and more are sin. We have not the faith to clean up our lives.We have a generation listening and watching media that my nonmember grandparents, who did not have the Gift of the Holy Ghost, would have spurned. Yet, we, the covenant people of the Lord, watch, listen, and read graphic and sexualized books, movies, and music almost on a daily basis. We dress immodestly and call it mean and shaming to say it is anything but good. We know that Christ said, "But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart," but we have supported laws that have made lust a right above our own religion.

                              Kindness and compassion and mercy are all good, but alone they are not the gospel and we will never build up Zion if we cannot put them back in their place,and condemn the foul things among us, just as Elijah did with Jezebel and the priests of Baal.
