The next quotation is from a woman who is hurting, and perhaps wonders if anyone but the feminists care about her problems:
"I'm upset that I was always advised to go back and try harder only to get abused more. I need some comfort, I need solace, need hope, need to know Heavenly Father sees all that I have endured. What hope do I have for a chance to live with Heavenly Father? If temple marriage is the key to the celestial [kingdom], where am I? Outside gnashing my teeth for eternity? Help me."
The woman pleading for help needs to see the eternal nature of things and to know that her trials -- however hard to bear -- in the eternal scheme of things may be compared to a very, very bad experience in the second semester of the first grade. She will find no enduring peace in the feminist movement. There she will have no hope. If she knows the plan of redemption, she can be filled with hope.
Apparently if your husband beats you and you don't like it you are a feminist, also, it's really not that bad so get over it. Wow. This can't be what they really believe.
that exact situation happened to a friend of mine's mom
and in general the church sides with the man, so she was told to go back over and over, and things were.... bad. for her, and for their kids. really bad.
Fuck that. My mom was being abused by her second husband and the church got her out of there REAL fast.
No...I actually know of quite a few cases in the small mill town that I live next too where the mormons were beating their spouses and children and the church did nothing but defend the men.
To be fair, that isn't just a Mormon thing and other religions and cultures have leaders who think that way as well.
I'm sorry to all the other christians but jesus tapdancing christ, ObiFag makes me want to choke a bitch
The rest of us aren't like that, seriously. Most of us are actually secure enough to admit that we're placing faith in our religion, we don't feel the need to try and rationalize said faith by claiming we 'know' something we really don't.

Is he seriously comparing something as broad and open to interpretation as spirituality to a basic taste receptor reaction that an overwhelming number of people have experienced and could come to a basic consensus on?
Yep
Then try it. Explain to me what salt tastes like. Taking into account that I have never tasted salt.
Its very much like me trying to describe to you how I know what I know about spiritual matters. Your "spiritual taste receptor reaction" has never experienced it.
what other bases of comparison do you have?
i could say that salt tastes like sweat, for example
or like sea water
Those both have salt. This person has NEVER tasted salt.

I would give him some fucking salt, because it is a thing that exists, unlike your magic sky friend, you horrible little man

the man is a charismatic active member in good standing, and she is a meek, slightly strange lady. this guy, you meet this guy, and you like him, he is just the coolest guy. until you find out what an absolute piece of slime he is in his home.
My real dad is that way. He hides all of his statements behind religion but is just a giant douche.

yeah but for a big leader of the church to come out and say that, and in my lifetime is just mind blowing. especially considering how much they butter you up as a mormon female about 'loving homes' and 'blessings abound' and 'your strong faithful husband'
i know he's an old cook, but he's an old cook they put into power and they allowed him to talk. and when the leader of the quorum of the twelve speaks, you listen because you are taught that that is some important shit
I have spent the entire morning and most of the afternoon on this thread. I am never going to finish my paper until this thread hits 100 and gets locked.
A man comes home one evening to find his wife standing in front of the mirror in their bedroom completely naked and looking at her self. She says "time has not been kind, my breasts sag, my butt is bigger, and I'm carrying weight on my thighs". Her husband walks over to her, gives her a kiss on the cheek and says "well honey, at least your eye sight is still good".

I am so pushing for this. Lets hope Darth just tells jokes till page 100. Then we can put this thread behind us and go back to the normal SE++. Where I don't post and just laugh at the awesomeness of most everyone in this forum.

Good thing your scrawny little nerd body can't crush a soda can.

What's worse, this will probably incite Tossrock to post a picture of his abs, as he is wont to do.
Which will then get Fiz in here and everything falls apart.
yes
me
unless it involves animal cruelty, in which case not me
is a camwhore some kind of puny nerd thing that nerrrrdss do?

Pretty much, yeah.
DL is going to go workout, get fucked up, go home for the weekend, go out and do his damndest to get laid and go back to school on Monday?
Yeah.
Pretty terrible, dog.

We already know what Urian looks like so don't use his photos.
