you can still get married and have kids. No one said you can't. tee hee.

I think this is wonderful. I have been to the church for a year now and people still are happy and cheerful. "Let's make them think we're friendly" because we are. Think should've been know.haha. Charity is what i think of when i hear of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. Everyone is soo giving. I don't understand because they're riticuled so much, but i can't find anything bad or evil in the church.

Black mormons ? sure ! Here, in France, Lyon Stake, Gerland, a white congregation except the bishop, a Black from Africa.

The church does not separate people, people with their own poor choices separate people, and bring unhappiness to their lives. Look in the scriptures. Wickedness was never happiness. That is why with agency comes responsibility to make good choices and keep the commandments. Any man can prepare to go to The House of the Lord and partake of the many blessings if he is willing to make and keep sacred covenants and obey the laws of God.

•President Brigham Young and other LDS leaders taught that those who were not valiant in the preexistence were marked in mortality with a "flat nose and black skin." (See Journal of Discourses 7:290, The Way to Perfection, p.101, Answers to Gospel Questions 2:175, Mormon Doctrine, p.527.) Since it was this mark that would help distinguish who was not eligible to receive the priesthood, why do some people still bear the mark even though the priesthood ban was lifted in 1978?

@KMartin730 Shame on you and all self righteous Mormons who think they're going to be in a higher level of heaven based on their works! Shame on all self righteous Mormons who think they're more worthy to go inside an expensive elaborate building to get married in while all other relatives have to stay out because they're not worthy according to Mormon leaders and the church's rules only there to take advantage of peoples money to build them! Shame on the Mormon cult for ruining lives!

@KMartin730 I hate when people play the race card.

@3Deditor " You know what? This type of segregations saddens God and he would NEVER allow family to not be able to witness a relatives wedding. God's interested in family unity, not worthiness crap!: Wrong.....YOU are the one bringing "segregation": into it. Shame on you. The couple could be married in the church chapel and then their family could be with them at that time....very simple. Then NO ONE is crying segregations (except you).

[3Deditor]

@KMartin730 I already knew that. which is why I mentioned what I said about the feeling of segregation all over again. This time from family members not being able to witness their own wedding if they're "NOT WORTHY" according to prideful and judgemental Mormon leaderships approval and disapproval. You know what? This type of segregations saddens God and he would NEVER allow family to not be able to witness a relatives wedding. God's interested in family unity, not worthiness crap!

@3Deditor This couple can be married in the temple. and not all families can go in the temple...black OR white

[dorisfenella]

Nice couple. But he looks younger than her.

[3Deditor]

She said they are there by "GODS GRACE" at the end of this video, because that's what TRUE Christians believe! Notice she didn't mention anything about "WORKS" which is heavily indoctrinated in Mormonism. Also They more than likely didn't have a temple wedding because they know their family members and friends wouldn't be allowed inside, then it would have caused segregation PAIN all over again! since black people already endured RACISM in the Mormon church until 1978.

@rambojoe2323 At least we agree on this: Whatever floats your boat!
