So I got onto the website yesterday signingforsomething.com because I wanted to sign the petition that the LDS church should not be telling gays that they can't marry. I feel so frustrated with the Church right now. They teach that everyone has free agency to choose whatever they want in life, yet thet are the first ones to take it away from everyone else. Wasn't that Satan's plan- to force everyone to live righteously?
I know that gays do not choose to be this way because of all the ones I have talked to or heard of saying that if they could change it they would. It is wrong for the Church to discriminate against gays like that. It's funny how history repeats itself. The Church had this same problem 30 years ago when they wouldn't allow Blacks to have the priesthood and discriminated against them and now they are just doing the same thing again.
I think it is interesting that Joseph Smith and his church were persecuted 150 years ago for his marriage beliefs (polygamy) and now today the Church persecutes others for their marriage beliefs (gay marriage). Isn't the Church, in this situation, no better than the mob that persecuted them? I have a hard time believing in a Church that discriminates against Blacks, that discriminates against women, that discriminates against singles, and that discriminates against gays. "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." (John 13:35) Does the Church practice what it preaches?

wow, you make an interesting point there Jen! I would love to have you ad my teacher in all my classes! To get straight to the point! I think that the church is just so frustrated, just like you, about people being gay that their trying to say to become a member of the church, but they are just saying it WAY too roughly. and true. Heavenly Father gave us free agency, but that doesn`t mean we don`t just sit there and let them do what`s wrong and them not knowing about it.i dont know how to describe it, but you sure are good at lectures Jen.*applauses*
No, AMber did not help me. See, when I get to a new website, I check out EVERYTHING on the website beforeI do anything else. I just couldn`t decide to change it or not, so I just did a couple of weeks ago.
I was wondering because you had the cutest blog on the block background, which Amber likes to endose. I like them they are very cute.
