  2. I find the names interesting. They're way cooler than the names men gave to us when I was coming up.

    'The group of girls turning 12 or 13 will now be called “Builders of Faith,” those turning 14 or 15 will be “Messengers of Hope,” and those 16 or older will be “Gatherers of Light.'

    I did notice an interesting tier-structure, which mirrors the levels of heaven.

    You've got your low-level laborers at the bottom, building shit. Then there's the Messengers, middle-managers who get a bit more pay for far less work. Then there's the Gatherers who are just gathering light, which is the lightest work of all, enlightened youngsters ruling over their younger, less-equal sisters in Zion.

    I'd love to see the men's youth group counterpart names to represent the eternally opposing gender roles.

    I suggest:

    Foot Soldiers of Faith
    Prophetic Preachers of Hope
    Big Game Hunters of Light

  3. Wow, big changes in the LDS Church. They're giving women so much leeway over their own organizations!

    Clearly, Mormon leadership has come to respect women and expects big things from them! They've put a tremendous amount of trust in them for this monumental job! How inspired! Has any human organization ever been so progressive towards women's liberation?

    It'll be difficult, but I know you can do it girls!

  8. I saw a white evangelical basically screaming at the camera yesterday on YouTube about patriarchy, racism, capitalism, and SA, ready to split from every Christian, even the progressive ones, and while I disagreed with some of her minor points and her shouting gave me a headache, I'm emotionally so with her.

    Would that even 25% of white women had even a portion of her intensity and self-awareness.

  10. In Mormon news, BYU tried to make an indigenous student cut his braids. So fuck them.

    Thankfully, they responded to pushback and now will not make him do that, but I'm sure they will continue to get away with all of their other attempts to control the hairstyles and harmless behaviors of literally everyone else.

    (Which is why this issue is a "white" cause as much as it is anyone else's. My Celtic and Germanic ancestors wore long hair in all sorts of styles, and so did yours. Whiteness restricts all of our freedoms.)

  11. Hype for the Future 133LDS: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

    Introduction Though Joseph Smith was originally born within the boundaries of the State of Vermont, his experiences within the upper New York region had resulted in the eventual formation of the LDS Church, thus forming the modern-day concept of Mormonism. After New York, the historic sites associated with Joseph Smith had pushed increasingly westward, from a site in Harmony (now known as Oakland), Pennsylvania, west to sites in Kirtland, Ohio, followed by Nauvoo, Illinois. After being […]

  12. Wow. See here is why I love the Mormon people. When they end up cutting past the propaganda that keeps them hampered, they show up with the kind of energy and moral correctness that we were taught to have, that surpasses any modern church I've ever seen.

    LDS Corp has left the ICE issue up to individual wards to decide. The wards that have decided to protect their own are *going hard*. This is a fantastic model for mutual aid. This is some City of Enoch level bravery and righteousness.

    They're protesting detention centers, holding services online, locking down church entrances against potential ICE raids, planning escape routes, providing information about rights and how to handle ICE, feeding people, picking up kids,

    “It is my divine obligation to … be politically aware and pass along information,” [Osorio Reyes] said, “to make sure the people in my ward are informed and safe.”

    The Stake President is collecting extra fast offerings to help affected families with material needs.

    This is the shit I was raised on. This is the shit I was told we were to be doing. And then... we simply never did. Our energies were redirected to useless time-wasters, and more priority was placed on "sexual" righteousness and whether or not someone drank Coke. Our minds were filled with barely coded racist interpretations of the world.

    This is why, for my activism focus, I chose to work with exmormon populations. Because for all the dysfunctional ways we were conditioned to be, we were also instilled with a fire. Helping exmormons (and open-minded progressive Mormons) dump the dysfunctional baggage frees us up to be a real force for good in this world. We gave a majority of our time and money to the LDS Church, so when we stop doing that, our energies are free to go elsewhere.

    One note on the geopolitics of the situation: unlike other brands of Christianity in the US, the LDS Church is interestingly torn on the immigration issue, because outside of the USA, their majority membership is in Latin America.

    I've got one more thing to say about top-level leadership, next post.

  15. "The 'violent left' and 'antifa' and 'trans shooting epidemic' they blame for a wide number of horrific acts—including Kirk’s assassination—is almost entirely the fabric of their conspiracist fantasies, and they find themselves forever grasping at phantoms.

    Not that that ever stopped them. Or the media from swallowing their fantasies whole."

  16. "He was, in fact, a member of the LDS Church in good standing who was photographed practicing with guns as a teenager, as well as wearing a Trump-themed Halloween costume in 2017. …

    This is what has happened consistently whenever the MAGA right has tried to redirect concern about political extremism to its left-wing variant and away from their own overwhelming record of terroristic violence."

  17. "All of this rage [against 'the left' ehen Charlie Kirk was shot] was founded on the presumption that whoever shot Kirk was someone acting on a 'far left' political motive. But when the shooter was apprehended a day later, that all fell apart, because it turned out that the man—22-year-old Tyler Robinson of St. George, Utah—had no connections to leftist or antifascist organizations."

  19. the Catholic church, Southern Baptists, and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are all intensely patriarchal, male-dominated religious groups that subordinate women to men.

    And in each, it turns out, abuse has long been tolerated and covered up. Go figure.

  29. The Mortdale Stake (Sydney Australia) received an email informing them the area had been selected for a Pilot Program named Informed Consent. The email included links to church sites for sources for all the statements. Upon examination it becomes clear it's not an official church-sanctioned email, but a disillusioned member who had access to the stake email system. wasmormon.org/email-to-sydney-

  30. The 1832 account is the earliest known version, written in Joseph Smith’s own handwriting 12 years after the event and there is no other contemporary record from anyone. It was written in a letterbook but never publicly known until the 1960s. This version was removed from the letterbook and hidden in a safe when Joseph Fielding Smith first found it because it was so strange.

  31. wasmormon.org/why-worry-about-

    Hinckley says he's not worried that Joseph Smith's multiple versions of his First Vision. He dismisses these different versions of the vision without ever mentioning any differences in the accounts. His goal is calming members who have heard of these strange accounts, and hope they will not look at them.

  32. wasmormon.org/joseph-smith-was The church denied the strange magic practices of Joseph's Smith. Facts they now claim were commonplace. The church apologists yearn to dismiss the practices as astrology or gambling today, but does that make them better? They denied Joseph was involved and that he used his seer stone for treasure digging out translation.

  33. wasmormon.org/joseph-smith-was

    LDS Historian, Richard Bushman concedes that Joseph Smith was looking for treasure. He argues that this was “part of a culture found virtually everywhere,” “something like reading astrological charts today—a little goofy but harmless,” “too commonplace to be scandalous,” “too common in the nineteenth century for it to invalidate Joseph Smith,” because, he states “folk traditions and religion blend.”

  36. Benjamin Franklin on Treasure Seeking Seers. Franklin saw the folly and called it out as the “most egregious folly and madness.”

    The church denied Joseph’s involvement with treasure digging until the evidence was no longer possible to refute or ignore. There is no doubt today that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with treasure digging.
