Re: RFM on Kamp in Court

Jenn seems to embody the LDS claim that feelings equal evidence. The judge not buying that definition threw her for a loop. She will undoubtedly find commiseration in her support group. I think she is getting very, very bad advice. If it's from rosebud, then shame on rosebud. If Rosebud is getting ...

Re: Mothers in Zion - why they're leaving

Dr. Moore, I'd love to hear the feedback from those you speak to about this op-Ed piece: "Critical online voices don’t represent the Latter-day Saint women I know" Social and national media acts as if the bulk of Latter-day Saint women are disappointed and frustrated. But many women are not. And it...

Re: Mothers in Zion - why they're leaving

I don't think the LDS Church really understands how hard the Sisters work to achieve expectations, fulfill callings (often multiple), and all the while caring for their often fairly large families. It's too much. If missions don't break us, having lots of babies really fast and young does. I've bee...

Responses to the LDS Instagram post on Women

You may have heard about the LDS Instagram post claiming the church gives women more power than any other religion. Then the thousands of comments. Here is one blogger responding to a post by an LDS chaplain, therapist, and relief society president who wrote shaming LDS feminists. Please check it ou...

Re: The Grace in My Mother's Love

I absolutely agree with you. How are you doing? Do you have anyone to talk to? You don't need to think about sexism right now. It's not a big deal. What helps you through this transition period is what matters. Sending love x I am doing pretty good. Had a pretty big important week and a new chapter...

Re: The Grace in My Mother's Love

One thing about losing my mom is that she was like air and water to me. She had always been there in my life and, despite being a mother of many children, she never let me down when I needed her. There’s another layer to it, though. She did so much invisibly that her absence now has been that much ...

Re: The Grace in My Mother's Love

...one foundational principle: I am of worth. The Young Women’s motto I repeated every Sunday offered this to me in theory... But not in reality. The LDS church does NOT teach that women, in and of themselves, are of worth. As harsh as this may seem, it is only when mothers LEAVE the LDS church, an...
