You all can read this too. I know this has been discussed in the past but some comments from mormon leaders in this article is VERY concerning....and esceically should be for mormons.
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/51700209-78/lds-single-ballard-lake.html.cspFrom that article:
"Ballard repeated LDS President Thomas S. Monson’s recent admonitions to young single Mormon men to stop “hanging out” and start dating with an eye toward marriage."
They feel the need to TELL their flock exactly HOW to pair up to find a mate??
"We hope you’ve got the message: You have no option to bounce around,” he said, referring to a common practice dubbed ward-hopping in which young Mormons shop around for congregations they like. “We know where you are. We’ve got our radar focused on you.”"
Uh....this is NOT to words/actions of a faith that is suppose to spirtually enrich you...These are Gestapo tactics....
I know alot or mormons seem to "excuse" certain things either about church history or how the members and/or their leaders act...BUT...how can they excuse those comments from their high ranking leaders???
For a nonmo with a very open mind...those comments are just plain scary..
