Having been a Mormon for 60 years and rasied in Provo Utah, I am finally standing up and asking for my name to be removed from the records of the Mormon Church. Over the years I have been a Primary President, on the Stake Relief Society Board, and married in the Temple in Oakland, CA. I can not stand by and listen to members being told how to vote. I did NOT satnd up in the 80's when I was told (very strongly) to vote against Women's Rights. I did NOT stand up when I was told (very strongly) Not to listen to Andrew LLoyd Weber. (He was a follower of the Devil, drawing us in with his music....of course, now Relief Society groups flock to see "Phantom of the Opera". It can't work both ways.)
I have 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren. I want to let them know that ALL people are equal in God's eyes. That includes Blacks, who could not hold the priesthood when I was young and now Gays, who for years were disowned by their familes and made to feel unworthy and sinful. I sstand up now and ask others, who were brought up LDS,to STOP and think, with the brain and heartthat God gave you, and take a good look at your CTR ring and Choose the Right!
