Boy, does this ever sum up how differently I view the world from some of you. I'd say it's out of circulation because it IS authentic. (By the way, see LA's post below now acknowledging it's authentic.) |
Again, nothing written by anyone suggests this letter, as it appears on the linked Web site, is authentic.
The reality is other statements that speak to this issue are currently in circulation. Yet in said communications there is no mention of oral sex ect.
Fact: Bishops and Stake Presidents are counseled to NOT counsel members on such matters, but rather encourage the members to discover for themselves what is appropriate intimate behavior. Thereby placing the onus on the individual as to whether or not their actions are pure.
Perhaps there never was a letter but rather zealous persons who chose to ask questions about intimacies, followed by subsequent complaints, followed by wise, inspired counsel by the brethren on this matter that has been distorted and used for the express purpose of defaming the church !? |
Okay, keep telling yourself it aint so if that makes you feel better. Far be it form me to take your placebo away.
