I didn't raise my hand.
After the meeting, my father-in-law (who is in our ward - in fact, he was sitting next to me in priesthood opening exercises) said that one particular high priest in the ward, who my in-laws really dislike intensely - both he and his wife, in fact - commented that he was disturbed that not all the hands went up, and he questioned the testimony of anyone who didn't raise their hand.
My testimony's just fine, by the way.
The next 3-4 months are going to be a little interesting.

It was my understanding that all the Church was doing was encouraging its members to go out and vote their minds on the issue. Are they actually soliciting people to support Prop 8? We all know what the underlying intent is, but are they actually stating it?
