    Default New Mormon policies meet the reality of a contracting church

    Looks like they are running out of loons



    On December 14, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints modified a policy that has been in place for over a century, opening priesthood ordination to boys as young as 11. Boys and girls will also be eligible at 11 to do baptisms for the dead in the temple,


    As policies go, there’s a lot to like about these recent ones, which acknowledge the realities of declining growth

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    I read a news story today about a big Mormon gay conversion therapist who has just divorced and is now looking for a boyfriend.

    Mormons are pragmatic. After Congress passed a law to take the property of churches in the territories that practiced polygamy they ended that practice (but claim the two actions were unrelated).
