some spelling modifications:

2 years later …

OK, so Marion G. Romney was wrong. It was his own opinion, but it’s a shame he had to express his views in General Conference.

I know for a fact (since I’m a Swede myself) that Sweden in the 60′s was NOT Socialist, has never been. It was a democracy with Social Democrats in government.

“… peace, plenty, or freedom. These things it will never bring”

I’m sorry Marion G Romney, it was 250 years since the last Swedish war … how about the US?

I’m sorry again. Sweden, Denmark and the rest of the Scandinavian countries with a strong social justice system has for the last 30-40 years been at the top of EVERY thinkable list of Human advancement and freedom.

I wish you’d been alive to see it.

I’m sorry Marion G. Romney had to express his very human views in General Conference, and for the people that believed him because of his influense in the church.

But I’m not perfect either, I just wish he, and other spiritual leaders like Marion, would be immune against political propaganda, or at least understand that they like everybody else are influenced by it.

Comment on Revolving Door Etiquette by ptchiem

Revolving doors are not common where I’m from, but now I know what to do when with a woman friend. It’s so obviously logical that I’m surprised I did not think of it before! Thanks for this.

Comment on How Dare a Baby Suck Their Thumb! by Bonnie D.

I think the bathing suits in exhibit D are great. I personally do not appreciate seeing other women half dressed. Most of the bathing suits show parts that only a husband should see. And they may take a little getting used to, esp if used to wearing much less, but still able to swim just fine. It’s also great at water park rides when your suit tends to “reposition”…very uncomfortable and embarrassing.

hmmm, glad you (In Rare Form) can quote phrases used in the temple to explain your feelings.
The same phrase could be used by anyone in any situation to explain their side.
I count all the volunteers at the Mormon Worker as good friends and I agree with Bryan that we should look at ourselves and not others when interpreting scripture.
