"Fidel Castro and others have had more neutral news coverage which shows this as either a direct attack or a complete misunderstanding of religions or religious institutions. Would they write similar scathing remarks about the Vatican?"

Yes they would.
You think CNN hasn't written damning reports on pedophile priests?

Ugh. Asking CNN to apologize for pointing out the flip rather than asking the brethren to apologize for taking harmful actions that necessitated the flip,

Ugh and lol and ugh. MORmONS

It was not a harsh article. The church says God changed his mind--fact--and that gays are still second-class citizens--fact--and that it will be difficult to accept married gays while gay marriage is still a sin--fact.

And bishops' discretion? That's a recipe for disaster since it makes forum shopping an inevitability. How is it fair to "tolerate" married homosexuals in one congregation but not in another?

Stupid Mormons.

They will always amplify the Streisand Effect when their dirty laundry is hung out to dry. To me, the flip flop makes the church look stupid.

Hey Mormons, if you don’t want to look stupid, don’t be stupid.

The Mormons think they can get their way by bullying and threatening people. That's how they behave politically, too. The leaders of "the global church" have anointed themselves with "divine authority from God" and the power of "revelation from God," and that's about as arrogant as you can get.

I hope they don't get away with bullying CNN.

Why does everybody tip-toe around Mormons?

(Well, I run away from them, because I've been abused by them, and am afraid of them. They almost destroyed my happiness, almost.)

Love this comment - "You don't become a hero by putting out a fire you started."

Going to use that.

About the only fun the True Believers have is to feel persecuted on a regular basis.

Exactly. And this is more of the same. Poor me crap.

The Mormons consider themselves to be the light of the world--the earth's special ones that everyone is in awe of even if they don't know why. So, any light that falls short of highlighting the legend they are in their own minds, is blasphemy.

I was taught the above all of my young life. The gospel gave Mormons a special glow that everyone was aware of even though they could not understand it. However, it made some fearful and that is why they persecuted us. Gag me with a spoon.

A guy who had believed the same posted here once saying he went to an event that was to be fifty percent Mormon and he knew he would be able to pick all the Mormons out by their special countenance. He couldn't. Not at all. First crack in his testimony.

Facades.

Mormons can't handle the truth.

But they can't expect anyone else to buy into their delusions about a fake book and fake stories.

DNA is not anti-Mormon, it just tells what is there.
And DNA shows the American Indians came from Asia.

Boom.

Bingo. The truth is anti- mormon. Which then makes mormonism anti-truth.

I'd really love to know what my daughter thinks about all this, but I won't ask. It never does any good.

FYI, this is a joke petition from someone on r/exmo. It's designed to poke fun at the Monson obit petition.

Huh. It seemed a little bit like it could be satire.
If so, that's hillarious that he's making money off of bilking MORmONs who have BEEF with the "Fake News" from watching too much Faux News.
