I can confirm that the lesson you described was NOT given statewide in CA. I realize this is not particuallry consequential.

I think it is like the reading of the letter last month....supposed to happen on the same day, but wound up happening on different Sundays. So your ward had no special lesson regarding Prop 8?

On a separate point, this whole Proposition 8 fiasco reminds me of the struggles many church members had with polygamy years back, or so I've read. To many spouses, the idea of adding a third wheel to their marriage was horrifying. But they were told, polygamy is the higher law, it is God's will, and the truly righteous will obey, putting God above themselves and their loved ones. Today, with the compassion and friendships we have formed with same-sex couples, we are essentially being told to turn our backs on them and prove to God that he is #1. Our diety seems awfully insecure. |

I see you are too big of a pussy to answer the question. I don't know why I'm surprised.

I answered the question. What more do you want? Are you like tooblue thinking I've got some secret regret or something? Sorry, not. If anything, I revel in being right.

You left the LDS church. But you can't leave it be. Why?

I have friends here I'm trying to help. I haven't really been to church except for funerals in like twenty-five years. Does that clarify things?

However, might I suggest you do it in private messages so those of us who are happy with being a part of it don't have to read your snide comments? Please?
