Wendy Nelson is seriously awful.
Have you guys heard about her book(s)? One of them (well, probably all of them) is a mormon one and it is marketed towards children. I think it explains concepts about sinning and repentance, and maybe even explores things like modestly, but it goes about it in such a shameful, mormony way that amongst anyone but a hardcore TBM it would be the subject of derision and ridicule. I also heard she was a psychologist or therapist or something at BYU. If so, she's a TERRIBLE one.
I just looked it up: The "Not Even Once Club." Awful.
http://www.sltrib.com/blogs/1310649-155/book-lds-christ-club-deseret-jonesAnd I'm sure she'd love people to start paying tithing based on 'What they'd like to be earning'. Dumbass. Why don't I just fork over my entire paycheck into your greedy, chubby fat-fingered hands you zealots? Hell, 10 percent of your gross (which isn't what tithing was meant to be AT ALL when the church started, which I'm sure most people here know) isn't enough, we'd prefer more. And then, when you're older and living social security paycheck to paycheck, go ahead and do more free service for us by serving successive Senior LDS missions. I just read an article by none other than this shrew's husband, Russel M. Nelson, in the Ensign, encouraging Seniors to set aside 'important events like baby blessings and grandchildren's birthdays' and serving a senior mission- at your expense of course- instead.
My uncle- a very talented architect who built bridges for decades after serving in the military- Just went on a 3 year mission with his diabetic, grossly overweight wife (my aunt), thousands of miles from home in a country with a dubious healthcare system so he can help build the temple in Concepcion, Chile (I think). God forbid the church pays it's architects. This shit pisses me off so much if I got cut someone would get sprayed with boiling blood.
A brief comment about Mormon Nepotism- I realized when I was looking at some of the past Church Primary/Young Women/Relief Society Presidencies, that nearly all members were related to old-generation Mormons. Most people didn't notice because they married men who had last names that were different, and obviously started using that name. But I guarantee you, if you look at the list, nearly all the members of the presidency will be daughters, sisters, sometimes even wives, of General Authorities past/present, apostles, and church prophets past/present. I realized this when I noticed that a past counselor in the relief society presidency was a relative of Monson (I think.)
And then of course the nepotism among males is even worse, just look at Ballard, and Gordo Hinckley and him calling his son to be a 70, and Packer's son being a GA. Jesus.
