A little pool of thoughts. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. He is too a Prophet! Ad mor·mo·nem. A uniquely Mormon form of argument. 1 appealing to spiritual feelings, testimony, or patriarchal prejudices rather than intellect. 2 marked by or being an attack on an opponent's worthiness or orthodoxy, rather than by an answer to the contentions made.

http://nealspensieve.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-mormon-stonewall.html
A little pool of thoughts. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. There was a pivotal moment in Gay history where homosexuals fought back. The. First, a little background. Up until the 1970s, homosexuality was considered a mental illness, and by some as a 'contagious' one. Take for example former BYU President Ernest L. Wilkinson's remarks at a BYU assembly in 1965:.

Neal's Pensieve: December 2013
http://nealspensieve.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
A little pool of thoughts. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. A few months ago I posted about the Priesthood Ban ( here. And this week, lo and behold the Church has posted something exciting and new that somewhat addresses my concerns! Race and the Priesthood. Actually they posted it last Friday. Quietly. Without comment. Its surprisingly blunt. (Spoiler - here's the important part):. The good news - they finally admit it was all a big mistake! The bad news - they finally admit it was all a big mistake! P S - I...

Neal's Pensieve: November 2013
http://nealspensieve.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
A little pool of thoughts. Thursday, November 14, 2013. A while back I wrote an historical piece about what I consider the Mormon Stonewall (read it. Today I ran across a document that would seem to be an epilogue to those events. The document in question is a proposal written by Elder Dallin H. Oaks in 1984. This wasn't too long after the publication of the Payne Papers (linked. Principles to Govern Possible Public Statement on Legislation Affecting Rights of Homosexuals,. Dallin H. Oaks, 1984.

A little pool of thoughts. Friday, March 1, 2013. I want to comment particularly on one of the most significant changes. This is in. Doctrine and Covenants, Official Declaration - 2. Which has reference to the priesthood ban. 8220;The Book of Mormon teaches that ‘all are alike unto God,’ including ‘black and white, bond and free, male and female’ (2 Nephi 26:33).

Neal's Pensieve: June 2015
http://nealspensieve.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A little pool of thoughts. Saturday, June 20, 2015. It's Not About That! The Deseret News just published an article wherein it calls the recent attack and murder of innocent African-Americans in Charleston, SC an attack on 'Religious Liberty'. This is an EPIC FAIL. On the part of DN! Let's call hatred, racism and murder what it really is - hatred, racism and murder! Not your pet political topic of the day. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

New Jerusalem - The Landscape: High School
http://mohoguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/high-school.html
New Jerusalem - The Landscape. Experiences of being gay and a Mormon. Just my rambling thoughts about being gay and Mormon. Sunday, November 14, 2010. I'm sure I broke her heart. I was struggling with my own self image and it just did not fit well. I hope I did no permanent damage. My complete trust and total confidence in the Church leaders began at an early age and continued for a long time through my mission and many years afterward. It was wonderful to know that my Church leaders now believed that I ...
