Woah. Back the truck up. The statement is one of the worst statements I've ever seen an official representative of the church give to the press. It is borderline protective of pedophelia. This stake president needed to think things over before attaching his name to a statement like this if it indeed was provided by church HQ's PR department. The response from members here and worldwide to the statement is appropriate. The Lord would not make a statement like that nor should His representatives here on earth either. Hopefully this response will make this Stake President think twice from now on instead of being a yes man. The news article in the opening post said 4 different Christian churches had members attend this peaceful protest. Christ's sternest warning words came when talking about little children.Badgerone45 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2023, 4:54 pmI know this Stake President personally.

Re: Drag Queen Story hour protected by the Church
Tried that. Didn’t go well. Simply asked my SP if the shot was “safe and effective” after showing a video that it is killing people. I was promptly told to repent for calling the brethren “liars and deceivers.”Badgerone45 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2023, 5:52 pm Have you met with your local leaders to discuss your concerns?
Then told to repent again for encouraging people not to get jabbed.
There’s no point in talking to a church leader when you voice an opinion contrary to the HQ/SLC/FP.

Re: Drag Queen Story hour protected by the Church
There is the possibility the Q15 have simply lost control of the Church which seems to have been completely infiltrated by Leftist globalists at this point. The PR Dept. may have its own diabolical agenda. I wonder how many church employees are in the closet LGBT?

Re: Drag Queen Story hour protected by the Church
I still have a hard time believing the church would make a SP put out a statement like that. If what B145 said is correct, and this came from church HQ… by all means, heed my words in the first comment I made. The ship is sinking.

To hell with these arseholes.
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not sanction or support these protests. Our faith does not support divisive or hateful behavior toward our brothers and sisters. We strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ to love one another,” said Cameron D. Brower, Chubbuck Idaho Stake president and the local representative for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Tuesday's statement."
It's always the time to take a stand and stand up for what is true - and right.
but you won't see the church do it, because they're a big part of Babylon
and follow and serve not Christ - but the leaders of this World that serve satan.
"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.
He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
the church is a perfect example of this - they follow it to a tee.

Was Pres. Brower there? Or were he and his puppet masters also assuming?Badgerone45 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2023, 5:34 pm I wasn’t there, so I cannot say if it was divisive or not. Were you in attendance? Church HQ must’ve felt it was divisive from the reports they received. But once again this is also an assumption.
I think it's safe to say that if there was even a single disruptive action, or even a word, from the protestors, that would have made it into the news article. The fact that they couldn't describe anything they did outside of them sitting there in disagreement with the event is a pretty safe bet that they were all perfectly well-behaved.

Or the assumptions are not wrong?Badgerone45 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2023, 5:48 pmI guess you will need to contact church HQ if you want to know why they issued this statement.

President Brower was asked by church HQ to issue that statement as he has been asked to be the PR rep for this area. There have been many assumptions made in this group without having all of the facts. I believe not one person in this group would want assumptions and judgments made against them without having all the facts.

You must be a church employee.
But very little of this is assumption or speculation. There is no account of the protest being divisive or hateful by anyone. There is no account of it being non-peaceful by anyone. Your friend, whether they be his words or not, stated that the people protesting the grooming occurring in their community was both divisive and hateful.
This cannot be defended unless we are to believe that Christianity now requires us to allow perverted and deviant behavior to occur in our midst without saying or doing anything that might hurt the feelings of the deviants. This definition of love, which puts the feelings of the sinner above all else, is not Christian as it cannot lead to repentance or alignment with Christ.
So what your friend has done in his office as a Melchezidek Priesthood holder and Stake president, is to chastise those who were acting under true Christian principles while elevating a worship of the natural man as true Christianity. Again, I appreciate your defense of your friend, but in this case he chose the great and spacious building over the tree of Life. As I said earlier, I hope he understands his error and will learn something from this situation.

Re: Drag Queen Story hour protected by the Church
You came on here to defend a man who defended pedophiles over people of Christ. These people your friend is defending target and prey on children, to sexualize them for their own fantasies. A group of people in the community came to put an end to it and your friend chose the side of the pedophiles. That's all there is to it, you can put your spin of "go talk to your leader" but the end of the day your friend stood for pedophilia.Badgerone45 wrote: ↑February 22nd, 2023, 7:07 pm
