Default Gay marriage........so here's the bottom line
1) First Presidency issues a letter suggesting members support Prop 8 in time and money.

2) Members.......nice opinion, my own revelation tells me the 1st Presidency is up in the night and they will oppose Prop 8

So which side are you on?

I live in Murray. I have no say in Prop 8 so it's irrelevant.

That reminds me. Have any of you non-californians been asked to donate $$ to the cause? It wasn't just Pennsylvanians that turned back Pickett's charge, you know.

When I attended the ward in south LA, the bishop said that his parents' ward in Arizona had been asked to donate.

Nope. There has never been no word mentioned about Prop 8 in my ward or stake. It's all up to you folks in California.

You're winning no friends with that argument as some good men from Tennessee perished as part of that failed attempt to take Cemetery Ridge.

Anyway, let the good Saints of Maine send money.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

This is a real stretch. I haven't seen a single post where a person claims they received personal revelation on the issue.

But if you need to lie in order to make your case, go join the pharisees.
