My opinions are very nicely portrayed in THIS HERE BLOG POST by Josh Weed on "The Weed."
"Silence is abhorrent and leads to shame, confusion and darkness."
"...we need to talk about hard things. We need to talk about things that are uncomfortable. You can sweep an issue under the rug, but it's still going to be in the room with you."
I'm sharing this blog post, not because Josh Weed is by any means an authority on church matters, but because he echoes my views and opinions on the matter. I feel this way about homosexuality in the church, pornography in the church, drug and alcohol addiction in the church, mental illness...and any other HARD thing that affects US as Latter-day Saints just as much as it does the rest of the non-Mormon world. Pretending it does not exist will NOT make it go away.
Just my (and Josh Weed's regarding at least one of the topics mentioned above) two cents.
Also, that's what my song, Fickle Weather, is about.
Favorite scripture: James 5:16-- "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
Let's open up, pray, and begin to heal.
