Anyone see the church broadcast on Prop 8 last night?
I am curious who spoke and what they said. I don't think it would change my mind on the matter but I am curious nonetheless.

I heard it was not exactly a super secret broadcast. It was a few of our GAs speaking in conjunction with other coalition leaders.
Doesn't make it any less relevant, but it had been billed to us as a broadcast from SLC. I wonder if creekster saw it? Or Steel? I was at work, so unable to break away.

Apparently a new CBS poll shows Prop 8 up now, 47 to 42. I've heard that another poll shows similar results.

I saw it. It was announced to our ward and all were invited to attend. No time for a report now, but it was not very controversial and was more about outlining the efforts to be made for the next four weeks than naything substantive regarding doctrine or policy. If no one else does, I iwll report more later.

So the church is behind this:

It's one thing to be against gay marriage.
But I think the church's public stand on the issue, as expressed intellectually, is bankrupt. No doubt this is what Pelagius got upset about and led him to calling me dishonest. The church has displayed less thought than even the CATHOLIC church. The true church on earth again plays little brother to the Catholic church. Slightly disappointing. |
