It's interesting how this explanation now makes complete sense to 99% of active Mormons, even if it's totally contradictory to other similar scenarios that we allow for children to be baptized.Originally posted by old_gregg View Post
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. 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. UchtdorfComment

What I find troubling is how dishonest it feels. The focus is love and protection for the kids, when I just don't think that's the motivation or what the predominant feelings are likely going to be when it plays out. I don't know how this policy will be applied or how many exceptions there will be. But what it obviously seems like is going to happen is that a kid is going to be attending church and want to be baptized and is not going to be able to. The kid is going to be hurt in this situation.Originally posted by Moliere View PostComment

I think what you mean is that it makes sense on its face but is obviously disingenuous because it allows for so many inconsistencies when applied to heterosexual families.Originally posted by mpfunk View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Sure it does. You don't want to put kids in compromising positions or pit parents against kids. What don't you understand about that?Originally posted by mpfunk View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Yup I think the analogy to polygamy is so lame -- an old person way of thinking about gay people. I guess if you're 80 the gay couple in the neighborhood seems like a polygamist family?Originally posted by jay santos View Post
Just so bizarre to have special requirements for children with gay parents. So the rest of us are fine being open supporters of gay marriage but somehow kids with gay parents are supposed to "disavow" the marriage of their parents. What does that even mean?Comment

I agree with you. I'm not ripping on lawyers, but I imagine that a lawyer crafted the wording of this policy (or at least someone with a legalistic thought process--like a bureaucrat suffering a life of quiet desperation over not having gone to law school). You don't want to put kids in compromising situations or pit parents against kids. If we give it no thought beyond that, the position is wholly defensible from a common decency standpoint. If you'll allow me to restate what you said, it's when, as you clearly noted, we think about the ramifications, even in straight families, that the logic doesn't hold up so well.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

If that was the case the policy would need to exclude them from attending church entirely, not just exclude them from saving ordinances.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression
