Gay Mormons, The Questions You Might Have

WWW.MORMON.ORG

A study of 56 pairs of identical male twins in which one twin classified himself as gay reported that 52 percent of the co-twins also classified themselves as gay. A similar study of female identical twins yielded approximately the same proportion of co-twins who classified themselves as gay (34 of 71 pairs, 48 percent). If these studies show some inherited influence on whatever causes a man or woman to classify himself or herself as homosexual or lesbian, it is clear that this influence is not determinative. As a prominent scientist observed, Even the identical twin of a gay man has a 50 percent or more chance of being heterosexual—even though he has the exact same genes and is reared by the same parents. We should also note that the results of these studies (and others described below) are based on the subjects self-classifications, a shaky foundation for scientific conclusions when there is still no universally accepted definition of homosexuality among clinicians and behavioral scientists—let alone a consensus regarding its origins.

However, critics of the LDS Church have relentlessly attacked the authenticity of the Book of Abraham and the credibility of Joseph Smith as an inspired prophet and translator. This video produced by the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) addresses some of these criticisms and puts forth evidence for the divine authenticity of this most remarkable book.

@omiolo Critics attack and attack. Especially the desperate ones.

Earlier this year, a family historian named Carol was trying to piece together the Ohio branches of her family tree. "They were shattered by death, marriage, remarriage, name changes, and lack of records," she said. "Using the records indexed through FamilySearch [an organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints], I was able to...solve an important mystery. It was such a satisfying moment."

@TheKinderhookPlates "You didn't "gotcha" anyone"

So now you are TOO stupid to know when you have been out smarted and out thought! Must be a DARK world you live in. Without EDUCATION or rational thought.

@omiolo

You didn't "gotcha" anyone, you fool. You'd have to actually HAVE an example of a lie that I've told in order to "gotcha" me. But you didn't list any... why? Because I don't need to lie in order to show how ridiculous your church is. And you're the one spending your days and nights posting spam, not me. So guess what... gotcha! YOU!

You're pathetic.

Hey fellow members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, do not argue with the world. God is not for arguing-it is not the way of the Lord. Let those humble hearts be touched by the spirit. It the spirit will not come under argument. Love thy neighbor- they are and were your brothers and sisters, and perhaps even your best friend.

I also got one joke out of it. It seems the pope is meeting with his cardinals in the Vatican when he's called out to take a phone call. He returns to announce, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has come again to establish his kingdom on Earth." The bad news? "He was calling from Salt Lake City."

A new report about Mormons in the United States has received a positive reception from members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, an editor for the LDS-owned Deseret News said Friday.

@TheKinderhookPlates "The mormon religion is obviously false."

Apparently it is NOT obvious enough and so you have to spend your days and nights LYING about it and focusing on personal attacks. GoTCHA!

@omiolo

The mormon religion is obviously false.

People laugh at omiolo and the silly spam fragments he posts. They make no sense.

Mormons deserve to be marginalized.

It's OK to be gay, and it's not a choice. You should accept you're gay already.

Mormons sometimes refer to themselves as a "peculiar people," a reference to what they believe is a unique covenant with God. Yet as they bask in what has been called the Mormon Moment -- and may soon be the Mitt Moment -- a new survey suggests that many also hold uncommon views about their place in American life, feeling deeply rooted but outside the mainstream.
