The #LDS push to be accepted as mainstream #Christian has lead to a cultural embrace of some of the worst parts of the US #evangelical movement. I've railed on #ProsperityGospel before, and #ChristianNationalism is in the same vein. We can't be a "peculiar people" if we continue to bring apostate principles into our cultural mainstream for fear of being othered by adjacent co-religionists. #Mormon #ChurchOfJesusChristOfLatterDaySaints https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2023/02/15/taylor-petrey-lds-support/

The leaked "LDS Personal Faith Crisis Report" is now 10 years old!
Find the full report on wasmormon.org format for the web: https://wasmormon.org/personal-mormon-faith-crisis-report/
A lot has changed in the past 10 years, but what else has the church done from the findings in this report and have they done enough to keep the ship from sinking?

On a family zoom call and everyone is talking about their church callings. I’m just realizing how weird that is. Like, I get it, the church is such a part of our lives that talking about callings seems natural, but also seems like a 🚩

I don’t know why I followed this rabbit hole, but I just started digging into my ancestors on #FamilySearch and found at least one who was in a polygamous marriage. His 4th wife had a child when she was 19 and he was 63. 😬
I truly don’t understand how this was a thing.

I’m reading #AnimalFarm by #GeorgeOrwell for the first time and I can’t help but see the similarities between Boxer’s mantras of “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right” to my own experience in #mormonism. Just replace “Napoleon” with “prophet” or “church.”

This is very anecdotal, but as I’ve shared my struggles with the church with ward members, the white males almost always come back with some excuse or deflection (e.g., “Of course the church isn’t perfect. It was never meant to be.”) and the women and non-white men just say something like, “Thank you for sharing. That must be really hard.”
It’s reminding me of this TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbHtgqA/

“[God’s] love never changes. … It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve [it]. It is simply always there” - Thomas S. Monson (GC, Oct. 2013)

"When we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God’s timing, we really are suggesting that we know what is best. Strange, isn’t it--we who wear wristwatches seek to counsel Him who oversees cosmic clocks." -Neal A. Maxwell
