blarsen Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Are there any non-erroneous multiple posts?One wonders.LehiAh, good point. I've always had a problem w/redundancy. Heck, I may be redundant, myself.!2 pages of posts on this topic!! Amazing! I was only on post 32, when I was so deeply offended by such an insensitive comment about rocks, which are very slow to give any offense whatsoever. I'm tempted to refer this to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, or at least the the ACLU, as another extreme example of Mormon/LDS intolerance and lack of sensitivity. 1

Xander Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This particular case makes it seem rather convenient to voice offense over this. I just don't see why its so offensive.Some people don't understand why Mormons claim the Temple ceremonies should not be talked about in public. They don't understand why Mormons find this offensive. To some this sounds like nothing more than a "rather convenient" excuse to keep embarrassing ceremonies secret. Does this mean it isn't really offensive to Mormons just because other people do not understand why?The more you folks keep criticizing the offended, the more it makes you look guilty of offending. It doesn't matter if you accept their claims as legitimate feelings of being disrespected. But by all means, keep complaining. That is your right.
Daniel Peterson Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 For what it's worth, I weigh in a little bit more on the issue of vicarious baptism for the dead athttp://www.deseretnews.com/article/765553203/A-Lutheran-bishops-perspective-on-Mormon-baptism-for-the-dead.html?pg=1

After all, if anyone should be an expert on the counter-productivity of insensitivity and complaining, it is him. Maybe we can learn from his unrivaled mistakes.Thanks, -Wade Englund- Edited February 24, 2012 by wenglund
california boy Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Just curious. Does anyone find this web site offensive?Really?! You think that is appropriate to post a link for? I don't - Ares

Calm Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) It was a great laugh when I saw it and even a better laugh when I told my husband."No undo" was the best part.So according to that website it appears that being gay is not something one is actually born with, but can be changed into at least.

LeSellers Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Just curious. Does anyone find this web site offensive?No, just incredibly ridiculous. The really stupid thing is that there is nothing that even remotely parallels the Gospel concept of baptism for the dead that it is vainly attempting to parody.Lehi Edited February 24, 2012 by LeSellers

Saints Alive Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I kinda thought so to, but it is ridiculing Mormon beliefs which I find distasteful. I concur, offensive because it mocks our sacred beliefs, not because they are "turning dead mormons gay"

california boy Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Can't really tell here....do you find the beliefs distasteful or the ridiculing?Since I doubt anyone believes punching a button a computer will turn someone gay after they are dead, I would say I find the ridiculing distasteful. I am sure someone felt justified in ridiculing the church because of the actions of the church against gays, but it doesn't make it right to me.

I would agree the website trivializes the experience of both.
Cold Steel Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Please. Your message was good (and very accurate, I must say, especially about talking to the cops and others who may hurt you), but four times?Well, Moroni visited Joseph four times so I...oh, what the heck. The stupid system here is to blame. I hit the "send" button but nothing happened, so I hit it again. Nothing happened so I...well...you get the point.
Ares Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 This has run its course. There are a few other threads on the topic.
