"There are many parts of my youth that I'm not proud of. There were... loose threads - untidy parts of me that I would like to remove. But when I... pulled on one of those threads - it'd unravel the tapestry of my life." - Jean Luc Picard in Star Trek The Next Generation
All the recent little changes the church is making made me think of this particular episode. The church is tugging at many of these unpleasant loose threads of their past in an attempt to appear less messy. Is it possible that their tugging on these little threads (name change, civil marriages now OK, policy reversal of children of gay members, messing with missionary ages, missionaries calling home weekly, etc) as well as future tweaks the FP & Q12 have coming in the future may actually unintentionally cause the whole LDS tapestry to unravel?
Just a thought.
