Sorry I can't find a way to talk to you privatly. I also appologise for not reading all of your blog before posing this question but why are you so bent on showing negative parts of Mormanism?
Well, Ella.
I am a former Mormon. I find the ridiculous nature of Mormonism rather fascinating.
And to think, I spent years and years as a faithful, believing Mormon...
"but why are you so bent on showing negative parts of Mormanism?"
I always wonder why Mormoanism is so bent on hiding their negative parts. Isn't pursuit of the truth a noble goal? Shouldn't "God's True Church on Earth" be able to withstand full disclosure? Why are you trying so hard to hide the negativity, Ella?
And Ella, what about Parley P. Pratt?
Did you know he married women who were already married? Thus Pratt was an adulterer.
When my family first moved to Utah because my Dad had gotten a job with a big company out there, the first day we had Mormons knocking on our door distributing books and crap. I even got this Children's Book of Mormon, a comic book like version of the BoM. Well, I start reading this and then I get to the part where God curses the bad brother and his tribe making them black.
i.e.:
"For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. And thus saith the Lord God; I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their iniquities."
Of course, I was reading it in comic form but still, I stopped there and took it to my Dad and I was basically like WTF? Even though I was only 8 at the time, I knew there was something wrong with this.
It wasn't until 1978 that the church decided they would give 'equal' rights to Blacks because they were going to lose their tax exempt status.
Still racism in the church is prevalent. Their founder Brigham Young said the penalty for an interracial marriage would be death. And according to church doctrine the most devout black person could only enter the mormon's 'celestial heaven' as a servant.
Basically, meaning a slave in 'heaven'. Not to mention the church contains a wealth of gender discrimination as well.
Although, externally they have disavowed racism, it's still prevalent in their sermons, teachings, doctrine, bible, and actions.
Seeing an interracial couple in Utah as a teen, I saw them surrounded by hostile stares.
And it is still incredibly taboo and chastised for a white mormon to marry a black person.
i like the verb "boffing." it's a new one to me.
Glad you like it! It's an old English word.
