Kimball's hell fire damnation writings about homosexuality in his infamous book "The Miracle of Forgiveness". <br /><br />@sideon, Thanks. <br /><br />@Stella, So true. If there was a god, or at least, if I created a god in my mind, he/she/it would NEVER say anything like that or tell anyone what to do, including me.TGDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01787370282987477869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608210451225572840.post-36454697271538113692010-10-11T17:27:01.909-04:002010-10-11T17:27:01.909-04:00@shawn,

Yeah they are trying to minimize the foolishness but their so-called softer rhetoric is not much different in my opinion. Quite frankly, I don't think it will matter all that much what they say to try and deflect the negativity away from them.<br /><br />Their call for civility on all of this just goes to show they have no concept of TGDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01787370282987477869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5608210451225572840.post-50788211449380514122010-10-11T11:53:00.379-04:002010-10-11T11:53:00.379-04:00Did you read the article in the Salt Lake Tribune ...Did you read the article in the Salt Lake Tribune describing how the church changed the wording of his speech.

Mine happened in early June of 2008 when the church was gearing up to support Prop 8. <br /><br />@C.J.,<br />Congratulations! Is it still to soon to officially join the Outer Bloggness realm yet? It feels like you hit a breaking point too.
