Voices in Exile: Stories of Lesbian Mormons Part 1 of 6

creepy cult

[kayzee67]

I would like to just say i found this of interest, I am a lesbian woman but i dont really follow a faith but i feel drawn more to a spiritual being,

I TRUELLY believe, that no matter ya culture,colour,shape,size,sexu­al orientation, the point is that everyone has a Given right to follow and pray to a belief that's meaning to them,

No-one has a right to take that away from them!!! Each to their own!!

Shame on those that do!

[GohModley]

Very butch. Not a lipstick lez between them. How am I supposed to yank to this?

[Kabutopuppy]

@GohModley I'm a lesbian and I gotta say I'm right there with ya man...I want hot lipstick lesbians :(

Within the celestial kindom, there are three levels? What do you have to do to go to the first level, next level, or the highest level?

[NoAntecessor]

Vcomp, the highest level (celestial) is for the most valiant who also received their temple covenants (marriage and the endowment ceremony). The second level (terrestrial) is for those who were good in life but who didn't exert the greatest effort. The bottom level (telestial) is for the scumbags, so presumably all the murderers/rapists/etc would be there. Ask if you want further detail on any of it. I don't believe a word of it, but I've read all the books and jumped through all the hoops ;).

[Megira77]

@vcomp1960 and NoAntecessor, Just to clarify, NoAntecessor was close, but you can be in the Celestial Kingdom even if you haven't been married. There are three divisions in the Celestial Kingdom and the top is only for those who have made those sacred covenants with each other and God in the temple sealing ceremony.

I am grateful that there isn't just a heaven and a hell, but that there are different levels you can achieve. Even the telestial is way better than what we have here on earth. :)

They obviously got their feelings hurt. I just do not know why they would make a video. If you are not interested in the church anymore...leave it at that.

[Svperstarr]

@Whateverintheworld

Maybe they want to share their feelings? I am not a lesbian, I am a straight male but I just officially resigned from the church because I don't believe in any of it, a heaven with multiple levels and needing to do some ridiculous sealing cerermony to spend eternity together is ridulous to me.

These woman have every right to speak their mind espcially because their are so many lesibans still in mormonism and might not know where to turn too.

[Whateverintheworld]

@Svperstarr I didn't challenge why they made th video. I made a comment of why they made the video.

[lajeujeu]

Being gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered.. etc. is less about sex and more about love. Loving someone means: only wanting to see them happy-feeling your heart jolt when you see them experiencing melancholy times- feeling your heart lift when you see them smile- wanting to give them the world because you know they deserve the best treatment possible. They make you want to take your time in life. They make you want to be a better person. I have to politely disagree with you mormonanswerman.

[AleXDean76]

I can't find the other 5 parts. are they available anywhere?

[AleXDean76]

Thank you for sharing your story. This video is quite well done, and the background misic says volumnes! I, too was raised LDS in SE Idaho, and came out as lesbian shortly after I left the church. You have done aq good job of communication something that is hard for never members to understand. I look forward to watching the other 5 parts.

Too much, you follow the sayings of man. Seek the One for guidance and live in love.

[BOwens1952]

Trust the One who loves, for that Love, will look upon you at the level of soul... not according to man.

[mormonanswerman]

such a shame that sex has become such a driving force that people's whole lives REVOLVE around it, and it becomes the focal point.

These people speak about the church as a distant thing, using words like "they, them" etc., and why the Joseph Smith account at first?

[adiazvi]

sorry to say but the mormon church is a scam

[TheRachelle31]

Complete scam. Joseph Smith himself was a major con man, who only wanted money. Sound familar??

[cavenrm0608number2]

wanted money??? are you kidding? He was among the poorest of the people in the early mormon church. time and time again he gave up his one little amount of money to help others. You obviously have not done your own research on the true facts. Before you post something get your facts right!

[GohModley]

BUTCH!
