Mental Health Care Employees Rip Treatment of FLDS Mormon Sect
2008-05-12 19:14:00 When one first reads the headlines of this Houston Chronicle story it seems the mental health community is making war with Texas Child Protective Services over the poor treatment of the FLDS Mormon sect. But reading into the article further one finds that this is really about nine employees who work for a private mental health care agency called Mental Health - Mental Retardation Center (MHMRC) which seem to have ties with Baptist preacher Kevin Dinnin.May I remind you that this is not just Texas this is West Texas where David Koresh is still a hero and clearing brush with Jesus is the major pastime. The area has a religious agenda promoting that anything with Jesus involved is good and any wall between Church and State is evil. These FDLS women, who have individually sold their underage daughters to old married men for sex, and collectively been part of a conspiracy to do so, should have long ago had their pastel frontier garb (with prayers for the end of the world stitche in the s...

W.O.W.: LDS and Mormon Blogs
2008-04-20 03:54:00 With the bastard offshoots of the LDS Church in the headlines so much right now, I thought I'd share a look form the Mormon viewpoint. This website lists many blogs written by Mormons.Here are a few examples:Mormon Matters:Mention the word “Trinity” to a group of Mormons and the response you’ll get probably will be “I don’t believe that false doctrine of Satan!” [1] Mormons often even feel more kinship with religions like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, who also reject the Trinity doctrine, than we do with orthodox Christians on this topic. But do we Mormons even understand what the doctrine of Trinity really is?

A Mormon Guide to Overcoming Masturbation, or How to avoid Self-Love
2008-03-05 03:47:00 Are you concerned about the tussle with your muscle? Fortunately, here's a Mormon guide to Overcoming Masturbation (although to be accurate, it should really be called undercoming). 1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal washing and using the bathroom.2. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company, especially when you are feeling particularly weak.3. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken OUT OF YOUR MIND for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.4. After you bathe, don't admire yourself in the mirror. Stay in the shower just long e...

Gay Mormons? Mormon Leaders? Good Luck Chuck?
2008-02-10 18:00:00 Good Luck Chuck? Wasn't that movie supposed to be absolutely awful? I never saw it, but it has Dane Cook in it - which is the acting equivalent of adding a teaspoon of urine to a bottle of 1998 Petrus Pomerol merlot - so I don't doubt that the movie was terrible. He sure does piss all over everything, doesn't he? "You know, Gone With the Wind would have been one of the greatest films in the history of humankind - but if had Dane Cook in it. So I walked out towards the middle." Dane Cook has nothing to do with being gay. Most people also believe that gay people have nothing to do with Mormons. Yet everything comes full circle. I keep seeing the headline "Gay Mormons Seek Meeting With New Leader" show up in my RSS reader this morning, so after the 4th headline I took the bait - and clicked. While I don't necessarily follow gay Mormon issues the way others do (yawn, yawn and yawn) I'm a rather unsuccessful homosexual as well as formerly attended the Mormon church myself. Thus, ...

Mormon church leader Hinckley dies at 97
2008-01-29 07:44:00 By James Nelson SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Reuters) - The head of the Mormon church, Gordon B. Hinckley, died on Sunday at the age of 97, church officials said. Hinckley, who was considered a living prophet, had been the 15th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since March 1995. As word of his death spread, groups of church-goers gathered around the Salt Lake Temple, sharing memories and stories about their prophet. "The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has served as a transformational religious leader and tremendous ambassador for Utah with his unprecedented outreach to all corners of the world," said Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman. "His leadership in humanitarian efforts around the world was matched only by his efforts in his own beloved state and community as a committed citizen. He stood as a remarkable example of selflessness, charity and humility and he will be greatly missed by all," Huntsman added. Mormonism, ...

Romney Praises Dead Mormon President
2008-01-28 15:37:00 WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. -- At an early-morning press conference at a Texaco gas station, Mitt Romney remarked on the death of Gordon B. Hinckley, the Mormon church president who passed away yesterday at the age of 97. ?We will miss him as a family, respect him as a man of great character and courage, but particularly his humility and ability to touch the lives of each individual is something for which he will long be noted,? Romney said. ?His ability also to talk to people throughout the world and to make close relationships with people in the public sector and in the media distinguish him as one of the great leaders in our faith.? Romney, a Mormon, knew Hinckley through his work leading the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The former Massachusetts governor recalled a meeting he had with Hinckley, in which the LDS president showed such an impressive knowledge of detail of Salt Lake City that he knew the sewer system would be an obstacle for an event that was being planned on ...

Mormon President Gordon B. Hinckley Dies
2008-01-28 07:48:00 Gordon B. Hinckley, president of the Mormon Church, died Sunday at the age of 97-years-old in Salt Lake City. His cause of death was due to old age. He had been serving as the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints since 1995. Hinckley was ordained the 15th president of the Mormon Church in March 1995 after then-President Howard Hunter, 87, died from the effects of prostate cancer just nine months into his term, the shortest in church history. Church presidents serve until their deaths. When Hinckley was ordained at age 84, Mormons hailed him as a man of vigor and good health. Because the church presidency falls to the longest-serving member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, most men have been elderly when they took the office. Hinckley was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. Many give him credit for helping rid the Mormon stereotype of polygamy. He served as president of the church for thirteen years. He was the fifteenth president of the Lat...
