I'm not sure you really knew the religion, there is a lot of pop spirituality out there. Joseph Smith believed in the Zohar , that all go to one place after death, that's why Jesus said he would see one of the men crucified with him that he would see him that day in Paradise-the telestial kingdom. Those old books, all but a few, are like a thorn in your paw. You need Androcles to pull it out. You wont be any less gay, but the happy pills and all that made you need them might melt away.

[Angeldeluz1970]

Yes, I know those teachings exist. There are many that are passed along by member of the LDS church. But they haven't gone through corrolation of the First Presidency, and are thus not official church doctrines. Not saying they aren't true though.

[DadsBlueAngel]

I'm not sure which doctrines we're talking about anymore.

[Angeldeluz1970]

Just the ones sanctioned by the Church as official. The ones scripted in the missionary discussions that I taught on my mission. The rest, the church will say, is mere speculation and not sactioned by the First Presidency. Any teaching that condones homosexuality in any way, however, is heresy. Ask any general authority.

that was deep. For me when i got married my husband new all about me. He wasnt threatned about me and a girlfreind (no 3somes) but about 2 years ago something in me. I dont know. i was feeling empty with the girl freinds and more fullfilled with my husband I didnt want to share that private peicee of me anymore.I havent even told my husband yet that i just feel content with him that it leaves no room for another woman. cause that bi side of me still wants recognition that it still exist in me.

[Angeldeluz1970]

It is wonderful that you and your husband have such a trustung relationship: accepting and full of friendship. How special.

Your problem my friend, is not being born gay. The problem is that you were born Mormon. Now go forth and be Mormon no more!

the bible has many primitive comments because it was written by humans and stubbornness got in the way sometimes. Great video again Rob

[Cindercheth]

It's odd how so often you read to love others, and be a compassionate person from the churches, the churches that then turn around and are condemning of us.If you love... you love. If you hate, don't pawn it off as love.

There's no condemnation with love. Period. Only understanding, and a willingness to question if YOU might be wrong for placing judgment on another human being, which is an understanding no one will ever come to if they don't just shut their mouths long enough to LISTEN.

...and what if it is a choice? why would that make any diffenerence? I never understood this argument.

[Tarachandra27]

You are not wrong LOL your a real person

[KezzyPagan]

Finally a person who knows the true side of God

Hey Rob, it's a good thing you were not raised Catholic, otherwise this story would have taken a far different turn around the 2 minute mark. I have watched most of you videos.  I have learned much from you and hope to learn even more. I am glad that you had the courage to talk about the hurt you felt in being rejected by your family friends community and religion. I hope that you can find true forgiveness in your heart for them. See you on the other side

Of course it's not a choice! That...that, to me, just sounds stupid -_- Besides, what does it matter who you're attracted to? Does it affect your love life? No. How COULD it affect it, anyway? It's not like it sends little evil things into your brain and it makes you gay. That would just be weird. I'm not religious, I believe fully in science, and so that probably has an effect on my opinion, but...yeah. If god were real, then wouldn't he be fond of all of his creations (as some have stated)?

[TEARDUCTER]

So full of self pity and playing on other peoples emotions = Drainers. So you are attracted to males whooopy dooooo

[apuppetapuh]

yes, I am not mormon, but I grew up in utah with a big mormon family and a religious (non-mormon) father. With a family like that, I wanted SO MUCH to be straight. I tried sooo hard to CHOOSE to be straight... but it didn't work.

Now I can accept myself, I feel closer the true, loving, all-knowing, all-accepting God and I am happy to know that i am not sick or wrong or going to Hell. I am just the way I am supposed to be

Also, good job on the crocheting, what are you making in this video?

[thunderwing23]

We have always been here and always will be. We are a part of it all. I know it's hard but try not to listen to all the bad stuff out there (and there is a lot). Be true to what you are. It has to be better than trying to be what you are not regardless of how many say otherwise.

I wouldn't say it'd be a 'malfunction' persay just a chemical difference between hetero and homosexual people...if it's even a chemical difference at all.
