Comments on: The Liberal Mormon: Introduction http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2011/09/29/the-liberal-mormon-introduction/ Where our past is never very long ago Sat, 18 May 2013 04:38:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Julia http://www.keepapitchinin.org/2011/09/29/the-liberal-mormon-introduction/comment-page-1/#comment-258740 Julia Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:33:43 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=14425#comment-258740 Yeah for another non-affiliated voter! I have never found a party whose platform I felt was inline with my beliefs. I try very hard not to be judgmental, but I often wonder how members could be involved in any of the major parties in the US.

In Europe there are parties that would be closer and that I would need to do a much more in depth review before deciding.

Alas, I live in the US, and so I expect to live my life non- affiliated.

Apart from the labels, though, it will be interesting to see how Saints elsewhere react to the actual teachings in the projected lessons and talks. Will those be ideas that, apart from the labels, are practiced? forgotten? something in between?

BTW, you do realise it’s pretty much only in the US that members get so hung up on these definitions? Everywhere else I’ve ever been, the numbers are so small that you’re either LDS or not. I’d never heard the phrase ‘Liberal Mormon’ before the advent of t’internet.

I said now watch what you say they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.

Looking forward to this series.

And then only when they deserve it.

Looking forward to this series and yet another peek into our past.

Lee and Bruce R. McConkie.

I think this series has the potential to be another popular one!

You are just no longer welcome in my club.
