Recently I have noticed something within the Men's Rights
movement that has given me pause for questioning my social stance. I identify
with the MRHM, but realize that I am not very popular. Mormons within the
movement have always been there and identify well with the MRHM, but we are
also hated for various reasons, sometimes because there are those who hate what
we are, but also by those who simply don't agree with us on every point. Take BR
Merrick for example, a writer for AVfM, who came out in response to an article
declaring an alliance between Mormonism and the MRHM that was mostly negative
because Mormons don't embrace homosexuality.
My mind, a sea of floating memories, like scattered fragments, clouds my judgment and distorts my vision to the point where I no longer know, whether its been a year or a day since I last knew my way, or where I am to go...

The Church Says NO
Well, I'm
not surprised but Kate Kelly was excommunicated, and for apostasy no less. It
what happened in Alma after many church members were divided by the teachings
of Nehor. So why are we surprised when church members excommunicate someone who
is trying to defy the gospel on such a grand scale. She has created a
following, that is not asking for change but demanding it via media pressure
and by recruiting people to a cause that is similar to a civil protest or peaceful
revolution. This has the power, same as the advocacy group for the LGBT in the
church, to create a schism on a large scale, one where many members will be
divided and fall away. You would think a
return sister missionary, someone who has been a member almost her whole life,
would understand this.
