HelloNoora
The LDS church was extremely racist, although not hatefully so, when I was growing up in that faith. We lived down south when George Wallace was governor of Alabama during segregation and there were numerous Mormon converts who had joined specifically because they were turned on by the teaching about "the negroe."
Well, everybody in the south is racist.

No. Remember there are persons of African descent living in the south, too baby cakes.
     


Gay rights are about love. Let us therefore show love to each other.

You know quite well what I mean, haha.

Besides, you are telling me that black people can't be racist towards whites? I'm sure they have at least some racial animosity going on.
 
     
 
Before Prop. 8, I had no problems with Mormons. They could do whatever they wanted as long as I didn't have to see it or hear about it. But, after all of the Prop. 8 stuff, I've learned to hate them with a firey passion. Well, most of them anyway. I've never met a good one, since I live in the middle of no where, but I know that not all of them supported Prop. 8.
     
You can't fake a bond like that.
You can't break a bond like that.
I support love, even if it's just friendship.
Kradam is love.

To be serious- if the men are priests, are the women priestesses?

I am very displeased with the Mormon anti-gay initiatives and stuff, but they are really no worse than any other judaeo-christian religious group in that regard.

Sweetpea - men can be priests and have spiritual authority, but women cannot. I guess it's a bit of misogyny left over from the polygamy days.

Sweetpea, my perfume Tigress . . . about "priestesses" there are a number of Mormon women who are interested in having a female priesthood, however currently women share in their husbands priesthood without being called by such a title. The future may hold a possibility of female priests of some sort. In the LDS Church anything is possible because they are not bound by any constraints such as tradition or adherence to sacred scripture.

ok. from the top.

When it came to the subject of who gets to rule earth. It came down to Jesus or Lucifer.

those who sided with Jesus, were white.

those who sided with Lucifer, became demons.

and THOSE who were undecided were cursed to be born with black skin.

that is the Mormon explanation of black


*Stands in stunned silence* I don't know who's butt that explanation came out of, but I know that it's not true. That's like saying that those who were righteous were born here in the US and the sinners were born over in Asia. Not true.


That was what was told to me by a former mormon man who was forced to divorce his wife because the mormon church frowned on being married to a non mormon.

so...what IS the true origin of black people according to the Mormons?

We force no one to get a divorce and thus he is lying.

Biblical studies show that the seed of Cain were cursed with a curse of dark skin, as well as the Lamanites (found in the Book of Mormon) were also cursed with dark skin to tell them apart from the Nephites, those that were righteous.


And now we see why most Bible-wankers detest evolution: it rejects this theory outright.


Good thing that is not in the Bible then, huh! razz Phew! That was a close shave. sweatdrop


I knew I could bait you into saying it instead of me heart Why do you think I said "Bible-wankers" instead of "all Christians"?
