Mutuals beware that while I will not use your vent posts against you, I will use your vent posts to add your name to my ward's prayer list and 100 college kids will be praying for you, which might be arguably worse

There is no place on the path back to our Heavenly Home where we are lost from our Father in Heaven - Calvin J Burke

I think part of the thing that threw me so much when it came to the new handbook policy was how out of place it felt with everything else recent in the church. Finding the One, the huge focus on Christ, the new hymns, the emphasis that everyone is welcome and the atonement applies to all.

Idk I just don't think all of that fits with the exclusion of our trans siblings.

Things that did NOT make me consider leaving the church:

coming out as queer

every time I find out another cool thing about Quakerism

Things that did make me consider leaving the church:

seeing 2 (TWO!) cybertrucks in the temple parking lot

hopping on the bandwagon

telling me the LDS church is a cult: passe, boring, I've heard it more than you can imagine, I'm still convinced you're wrong

telling me that if the LDS church is wrong, Catholicism is right: spicy, interesting, changes my feelings on many a subject

our local questionable ward member (as in I'm questioning if he's just intensely conservative or a MAGA guy) tried to correct my mom during her lesson in Sunday School on the stuff that is in the scriptures

So anyways guess who just got half the adults on the ward even more on his case than before

If the Lord loves effort, then He loves your effort on the days you can give it your all and on the days when you struggle to give anything.

God loves your effort on the days

You try but can’t pray because you’re brain is too chaotic

You struggle to wear your garments

You didn’t go to church because you were helping someone

These are just a few examples

Idea for all you pagans and witches out there: If you get Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons or those sorts knocking at your door, instead of politely turning them away, don on your most witchy, out-there, non-christian-friendly accessories and attire and open the door.

Be cheerful and welcoming! Say you’re more then open to chat about spirituality, take their pamphlets, try to show them any books of your own you have, hell, even invite them inside for a cup of tea by your altar to Odin.

I don’t know how it’ll go down, but I’m almost certain the interaction will be funny af.
