I originally started blogging because I had many things inside me that could not come out. I desired a connection to humanity and a dialogue with people who would try to see me as a person of worth. I think there are people like that out there. But I realize now that my views are incompatible with most of Mormondom whether it be on the ward level, DAMU, or Bloggernacle. I really don't belong anywhere. <br>4. No, I don't say these things in Gospel Doctrine<br>5. One daughter is on a mission (Korea), the second has just received a mission call (Italy), the third is at BYU-I, four, five and six attend the ward each Sunday with the family and hold callings in YW, seven is a boy about to be ordained to the priesthood and eight is looking forward to her baptism in a few weeks. I don't know who you talked to.<br>6. I don't know if my Bishop or SP read this blog.<br>7. I'm sure they would be just as ashamed of me as you and everyone else in my world.Bored in Vernalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14016611721544251941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-62912503697183383072006-11-28T12:43:00.000-05:002006-11-28T12:43:00.000-05:00I have given you a few days and still no answer to...I have given you a few days and still no answer to my post?

Now the whole Basin will be Blogging! Why didn't he just mention your name instead of "Bored in Vernal"? Are you both ashamed of what you write here in this blog? My question to you is this... What are you trying to accomplish with this Blog? You’re not a General Authority, yet you talk like you are one. I feel sorry for those not of our faith who read your blogs. The positions you take on topics like: Gays in the Church, Excommunication, single moms, Mountain Meadows, use of Church Funds, etc are off base and inflammatory. I think you are trying to confuse your non LDS readers and stir the pot with the rest of us. I highly doubt you would be so bold in your Naples 2nd Ward Gospel Doctrine Lessons (who knows I might just swing by and listen in for myself). As for your daughters and their church callings... The daughter I talked to said she didn't belong to any religious groups.....? I'm sure you do go to the temple and I hope your sessions heal your heart... but does your Bishop and Stake President know about this blog site? I wonder what they would say?
