Default Hey White Mormons

I've got news for you. It's not your church.

This realization is going to be very hard transition.

All we want is for the church to become a delightsome place. Is that so bad?

It is interesting how some trolls are loved and others despised. Of course I guess you did get kicked off of CB, so maybe some aren't loved everywhere.

Since it's Mike's board he can go make as many racial comments as he likes and no one cares.

This white Mormon has made the mental transition, and wants to see it materialize in leadership, in the hymn book, in what we read in manuals, in what Deseret Book publishes and so on.

I don't know why I'm replying to your trolling, but here it goes...

I truly believe that a majority of church members will have very positive feelings when a "non-white" is called to be an apostle. I'd like to see it happen, and believe it will in the not-to-distant future. But I don't consider it a criteria that the leadership should look for when considering calling a new apostle.

Do you think any of the 47 people this post might actually apply to read this forum?

I think the realization that's going to be hard for you is that the church is God's.
