Thank you for spotlighting the unfairness of LDS LGBT policy! Trying to follow their LGBT policies is a nauseating roller coaster ride. 🤑

[@nancyevans3590]

My heart goes out to those LGBTQ couples who got ex’d . They are too good for the church.

[@theresazelazny7445]

How dare church leaders interfere with family bonds involving children. These leaders seem to have no comprehension of the harm being done by their actions.

[@truthseeker4286]

How dare this lesbian couple demand that an entity , in this case the church, change their doctrine just for them to accommodate them. How dare they think there can be no consequences to their actions. How dare they deny a child of a mother and a father.

[@haroldwhite5761]

@@truthseeker4286 I guess you missed the safety issue with an abusive parent. Or maybe you don't care when children get abused.

[@LoraleeArmstrongNunley]

Thanks!

[@rebeccabibliotheca]

Thank you so much!You’re awesome!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@porterwarren4688]

Regarding all of the headlines of this years Mormon Cricket Invasion and in the interest of respecting the Churches wishes of using their proper name, I think it would only be appropriate to change the crickets name to "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Crickets".

[@rebeccabibliotheca]

😂😂😂😂

[@Havenforhealing]

All the money and power flows up the chain to the top. But the heavy lifting and accountability rests on local leadership.

[@natenelson9102]

Thumbing through your scriptures and pointing to a random verse is just the Mormon version or the Christian version of the Ouija board

[@rebeccabibliotheca]

Exactly!! But Mormons don’t see it that way!😂

[@Aim-free2023]

Or getting fortunes told by a patriarch?

[@TheMormonAtheist]

Great show

[@elainechester4756]

Instead of translating the plates, they were playing Battleship. Thus, the curtain.

[@bombadillo2]

Thanks friends! We love you!

[@ETBlair]

I thought the church didn’t like divorce…..

[@jameswalberg3265]

So interesting. So many topics. Never knew about the crickets.

[@camillekartchner]

I dont watch a lot of anime, but demon slayer is excellent haha what a surprise to find it was talked about in this episode

[@susanmaughan968]

🤟 comes to mind of shape of Temple

[@desiadaven]

Demon slayer is good watching for sure. I did not grow up watching anime, but my husband got me into it.

[@sabrinahunt8147]

As far as the lgbt issue is concerned, Why don’t they find a church that accepts them instead of trying to change the church to suit them? They obviously have different beliefs. Some churches are very strict about the gay and lgb issue.

[@kentthalman4459]

No doubt the chasm between today's prophet and those covered in the BoM is huge.

[@debbieshrubb1222]

(33 39) Sounds scarily like Chad Daybells expanded Mormon/Church of the First Born dogma.

[@andreahansen-kd9rq]

Rebecca is always so composed and articulated. I still think she gets talked over by Bill and RFM too often. The guys are better than they used to be, but still something to be aware of.

[@harambeboy]

She’s incredible

[@dygz]

半天狗 Half-Tengu Tengu means Heavenly Dog Kind of a different type of being than an Oni. The images I’ve seen of Tengu (from D&D maybe) are bird/human hybrid.

[@aredesuyo]

鬼滅の刃 (kimetsu no yaiba) Yaiba is "sword," so it's more like "sword of demon destruction," or "the sword that slays demons."

[@gericbabcock7145]

Made me wonder, as the church {sorta} defines sexual relations as being for the purpose of creating children, are intimate relations not for the purpose of creating children sexual? Maybe same sex marriages do not result in sexual relations and are just fine as far as the handbook is concerned if you squint a little.

[@truthseeker4286]

Yes, that'll be interesting how a situation like that would play out in the church.

[@hepcatblm]

Demon Slayer

[@truthseeker4286]

I've noticed that this podcast has never had a de-transitioner as a guest or a homosexual who stopped being homosexual. Maybe that would generate too much hate. But what do you guys think...Doable?

[@truthseeker4286]

In this case, I got to take the bishops position. The lesbian couple knowingly wants to associate with the Mormon church. The Mormon church has its rules and doctrines. The lesbian couple wants the church to provide an exception to or change one of the very fundamental doctrines. In this case, the belief that God's law is sexual relations is only approved between a man and a woman who are married. And, their belief that marriage is only between a man and a woman . It is not the churchs' fault that the lesbian couple can no longer adopt a child, should they divorce. This is a situation that they got themselves in to. And I feel bad for the child because a child deserves a mother and a father . Yes that's right. In fact, it's selfish of the couple… They should help that child find an adoptive mother and father. If one joins a club, they are behooven to their by-laws.

[@DeanneSanchez]

So many people do not want to see the truth They have to believe in the lies otherwise it’s to unbearable to even think about . The truth matters no matter where that leads It’s so sad that so many have bought into all the church lies . And continue to push to show how see church history wasn’t that bad it was really Brigham who was the scoundrel not Jospeh Why do you suppose people continue to believe in something so absurd and ridiculous .I’m sure Brigham was no Saint either . The wisdom of men gets us into trouble every time .

[@theresazelazny7445]

I am so tired of seeing these Mormon(yes Mormon) leaders being given the respect and honor they do not deserve.

[@truthseeker4286]

Yes Unfortunately it does happen at times

[@gabyschettini]

Thanks!
