Mormons try to gain sympathy for their participation in prop 8
Well the mormons are at it again. Using their media analysts and creative team to try to turn their image from participation in the proposition 8 passage from bigoted tyrant to picked on victim. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The LDS church has issued many statements, each cleverly worded describing their participation in the passage of prop 8 as "part of the democratic process" and they continue to make references to democracy, freedom of speech, and that it was the church members who made this happen not the "church" itself. All of this clever language attempting to draw sympathy to the LDS church does not surprise me. They have the money and the manpower to influence media and many many people, LDS members and nonmembers alike. With so much emphasis on democracy and tradition and rights I am reminded of one of the most famous articles which formed this nation. The Gettysburg Address in which the first line
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Now I may be mistaken but I believe that says all men are created equal, leading me to believe that regardless of color, nationality, religious belief or so many other ways that men have devised to seperate themselves from one another, at the core we are all equal. Equal meaning deserving of the same rights. Oh thats right, it must mean all men except the gays right? Just like the mormons declining blacks the right to hold the priesthood in the 60's, only this is different. They needed to change their "doctrine" in order to appease their growing multicultural congregation which came in the form of "revelation". I guess unchanging god, the same god the is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end, who is the same today and yesterday and will be the same tomorrow, must have changed his mind. Did god make a mistake? The difference between the issues of the past and the issues of the present is this....homosexuals DO NOT want or expect to have mormons accomodate them and marry in their holy temples. They probably do not have any interest in anything that remotely deals with mormons. So why does the LDS church feel so threatened by proposition 8. What special interest do they have in banning gay marriage besides carrying on their tradition of being a bigotous hate monger of a church, intollerant of all people and all beliefs but still spouting out teachings that they claim are "christian" in nature. Sure they are christian in nature in the same way that the crusades spread christian love. So really Thomas S. Monson my question to you is..What does it matter to you? What is your personal investment to this? How does this affect you at all? and How does this undermine the "traditional" family? It doesn't! Not anymore than your secret temple ceremonies with practically naked people wearing shields get washed and annointed and felt up by your temple workers (for more on temple ceremonies see my post on secret temple ceremonies) I say we take a vote on temple marriage, mormons shouldn't have a problem with that. Why don't we just open that can of cultish worms to the media and have a hayday with it. Im sure you won't mind if we destroy your families, expose all your secret signs, tokens and handshakes. So how about it?
The LDS church is not a victim. Neither are the supporters of prop 8. They knew what they were contributing to and supporting and now search for sympathy following the backlash. Well I have something for you. The LDS church can fuck right off! Stop your pouting and take responsibility for your acts of hate, power and downright disgusting behavior!
As for me, I will continue to convince as many members as I can to remove their names from the LDS church records and continue spreading my gospel of truth which is you can't trust mormons, or any other organized religion for that matter.
Peace!

Mormons and Prop. 8
The mormon church has definitely overstepped their bounds into the political arena, hopefully all of the negative press they have received will help more and more people take the steps to leave this religion based on bigotry, hate, and fear and start thinking for themselves and leading more fulfilled lives.
Below is a template of the letter I used for my own resignation from the church. Hopefully it will inspire people to take the first step and stand of for themselves and remove their names and distance themselves from such a deceitful controlling organization.
____________________________________________________________________
Date
Enter Adress information here
Dear (bishop, stake president etc),
I was born (enter date here) in(enter location). I was raised as a Mormon since birth, and baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (“the Mormon Church”), in the (Ward name), when I was 8 years old. My membership records are currently under your administration, in the (enter ward and stake information).
At this time, I officially resign from the Mormon Church. I wish to no longer be a member of the Mormon Church, and I require that my name be voluntarily removed from all church membership records, to reflect this fact.
In this voluntary removal process, I demand you and the Mormon Church to adhere to the following seven guidelines. The Mormon Church shall:
1. NOT impugn my character, slander my good name, nor disseminate any form of speculation, misinformation, or personal comments regarding me, to anyone.
2. NOT hold a church court, execute a disciplinary action, excommunicate me, or otherwise harass me, nor make any attempts thereto, since I have done nothing to warrant such an action. Nor shall the Mormon Church send any representative to attempt to persuade me not to remove my name from membership roles.
3. REMOVE my name from all membership records, cancel my baptism, revoke all ordinations to church “authority”, and remove all promise of “blessings” for obedience to such.
4. PROVIDE me with specific, written confirmation when this task is officially complete. This letter of confirmation will reflect that my resignation from the Mormon Church was not due to any pressure from or determination by Mormon Church authorities, but rather per my own request.
5. EXERCISE due diligence in carrying out this procedure. I hereby notify you that you have 90 days, (no later than enter date here) to provide written confirmation of my voluntary removal from the Mormon Church. Delays beyond this may result in my engaging legal counsel to pursue other options.
6. NOT contact any member of my family to notify them of my decision to remove my name from church membership roles. Any contact with any member of my family the Mormon Church in this regard would cause irreparable damage to my relationship with my parents.
7. NOT use my name in baptismal or other ordinances for the dead.
If you care to know my reasons for leaving the Mormon Church, I will say only that I do not believe in the doctrines, the authority or teachings of the Mormon Church. I feel it is important to disassociate myself from an organization that I find to be completely at odds with my personal beliefs.
I ask that you respect this resignation as an exercise of my religious rights as a
Sincerely,

My Mormon Patriarchal Blessing
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Mormons, Polygamists and lots of stupid LDS shit!
Have no fear I have not lost my disgust for Mormonism!! I have simply been too busy with work and school to sit down and write a few things. The ideas have been cooking. I realized I haven’t posted any drafts of the letter template I used to remove my name from the church records. Below is a copy of the letter I used. Keep in mind that it takes months for them to actually get off their asses and remove your membership information. In my specific case it took about 6 months, and I sent 2 reminder letters and one letter threatening legal action. I will also be working at scanning in a copy of my patriarchal blessing. This is a blessing given to either teenagers or adults which is supposed to act as sort of a guide for your life…..not necessarily like fortune telling but kind of. At the moment I don’t have the information but when I have it ready I will post a copy of my blessing along with the official church definition of what a patriarchal blessing is for.
As for those polygamists in TX. Well they are obviously fundamentalist whack jobs, no question about it. My favorite part of the whole saga is that every time I look in the newspaper or TV or anything I always see discussions with Mormons wanting to clarify that they are in fact not associated with the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ. On a technical note sure they might be right, one says “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” and one decided to add the word “Fundamentalist”, same difference in my opinion. They both stem from the same seed. That fact is irrefutable. We all know what bigoted pigs founded the church. Joseph Smith being the key player of course. It is a fact that Mormons still do believe in polygamy in the afterlife. The only reason they ever decided to “stop” practicing it was to expedite statehood, that was the ONLY reason. Well and of course we know that back in those times Viagra wasn’t invented so how was a dirty old bastard like Brigham Young supposed to make love to 40 wives when he couldn’t even get it up??
Hmmmm what else do I have to write about. Oh yes, I remember, at a family BBQ a few weeks ago my all mormon brainwashed uncles and aunts were sitting around discussing church as usual. Somehow I heard someone get on the topic of how we were in the “last days” a term I had heard my entire life, how the millennium would come soon and the world would end or be cleaned with fire and Christ would once again reign on his earthly throne. LOL. Ok so anyways I heard some family members talking about how there were sooo many wars, and natural disasters, and people starving and all these types of calamities happening which certainly signified that “the end was near” I started to chime in and share my 2 cents but stopped myself because I couldn’t remember the exact reference to back up my argument. After a little research I found it. I remembered that somewhere in the mormon scripture of Doctrine and Covenants that Joseph Smith had prophesied the end of the world. In section 130 of the doctrine and covenants Joseph talks about what will happen in the second coming of Christ in verses 14-17 Joseph says he was praying very earnestly when a voice came and told him that if he lived until the age of 85 he would see the face of the son of man. Joseph said he didn’t know whether this mean the end of the second coming/destruction or the beginning or whether that would be when he would die and then he would see christs face. Either way he was dead wrong…lol…no pun intended. Obviously the second coming did not happen when prophesied. Joseph did not live to be anywhere near 85 years old (thank goodness, he did plenty of damage in his short life). So what explanation have we for this mystery?? One mormon told me that since joseph didn’t live till the age of 85 the prophecy is not valid. What do you mean??? A prophecy is a prophecy, fate is fate, in their minds these are things that are not variable, they do not change. Hmmmm, guess that means that he was not a prophet. DUH.

Awesome new quote from Albert Einstein
"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
