Testimonyologers

User posted image

One of the things that gets on my nerves (And yeah, it doesn’t take much because there is Italian blood running through my veins so forgive me) is when you hear people going inactive and suddenly for some odd reason..the unctuous, pharisaic, sanctimonious guy or woman comes along and starts giving their reasons for such inactivity. Please fasten your seat-belts.

1. “Their testimony was weak”: Really? Are you a testimonyologer? Where did you get the degree from? So you go around measuring people’s testimonies like taco sauce at Taco Bell: Weak, mild, strong? Puh-lease. Do you truly realize how much that sentiment can hurt someone who is going through hard times?

Oh wait..you are saying that because you are not telling them that directly to their face but you go around gossiping about them isn’t THAT bad? Oh, gotcha. Good for you!

2.“Did you see them? They never fit in anyways”: I wonder if you did anything to make them feel appreciated and loved or because they looked different or thought different than what you consider the “norm”, you decided to keep away from them?

Of course, I totally understand you, I could never blame you. How in the world they dare being around people like you in Church! In Church! Of all places, their nerve! I propose that they should have separate rows for their own kind, don’t you agree?

3. “The only reason for inactivity is sin” : Oh, I did not know you were less active too. Oh, you are not? Wait” I am talking with the only sinless person who ever walked on this earth: Jesus Christ? Jesussss! Hold on.. Oh, you are not Jesus, you almost got me there. And I hear you loud and clear, thank goodness you and I are active Church members, we do not want to be sinners like our brethren!

Kate Kelly In The Matrix

Today, is a very sad day. The founder of the Ordain Women group, Kate Kelly has been excommunicated.

As I read her statement asking people to stay in the Church, an overpowering feeling of sadness took over me as I pondered the despairing and terrifying consequences she will have to face along with her family.

She will not be allowed to wear her temple garments, contribute tithes and offerings, take the sacrament, have a calling, offer public prayers in behalf of the congregation, and vote in the sustaining of Church leaders, without even start mentioning the eternal consequences that come along with excommunication. It is the severest form of discipline in the LDS Church.

When I read the news, I quickly went online to see what people are saying about it and it saddened me to read that the most disparaging, judgmental and insensitive comments were coming from people who claim to be LDS. It’s like a phenomenon: A member gets excommunicated for something we think they did wrong and instead to feel sorrow that one of our brothers or sisters in our Church is no longer part of our congregation, we seem to have the need to crash them like a swarm of ants even though they’re already down.

Regardless of how you feel about her cause, where is the hand that lifts? Where is the “Mourn with those who mourn”? There is nothing to celebrate here. The excommunication of ANY member of the Church isn’t something to feel good about, no matter who they are or what they have done. There is really no need to show our sanctimoniousness, superiority complex that says””I would NEVER do this. “I would NEVER do that”. Yeah, we know you would NEVER…. Do  you want a cookie for that?

But what to do when you feel so passionate about a cause and you want to desperately be heard and feel validated? What about when others feel the same way about your cause?

Sometimes, it feels like we are in one of those Latin-American nations back in the 1970’s where citizens were subjected to many restrictions, including countless human rights violations. A curfew, restricted conversations, no political affiliations against the government was allowed, and government critics were sent to prison for many years (The lucky ones), the unlucky ones were tortured and then put to death.

We don’t have prisons in the Church but we have excommunication and of course, depending on the severity of the offense, I would say it is necessary. We have excommunication for the man or woman who rapes, we have excommunication for the pedophile who has been abusing children for years, for the serial killer who was caught with several dismembered bodies inside his fridge oh”and we also have excommunication for those whose opinions are different and dare to share their views.

What to do when you are in Kate Kelly’s shoes? Do you give up your cause in order to maintain the status quo? Or do you continue pressing on? One thing is for sure: Ordain Women was just made stronger by her excommunication and the organization and the people involved aren’t going anywhere.

Is it really against Church doctrine to seek female ordination? Is it against Church doctrine to want to meet with the Church and talk about it? Is it against Church doctrine to seek equality in the Church? A whole bunch of men say there is equality, yeah I know, the irony.

Do you take the blue or the red pill? Do you embrace the painful truth of reality (Red) or just forget all about it and live in ignorance and illusion (Blue)?

Kate chose the red pill. I don’t blame her. I would have probably done the same thing.

All Is Not Well In Zion

I woke up a few days ago with the news that two members of the Church involved in the Ordain Women’s organization group have been called to a disciplinary council. I wasn’t surprised but I must admit that the first thought that came to my mind when I heard the news was: “Really? Did the Church just do that?”.

I worked in media for many years and when you have newspapers like the New York Times picking these sort of stories, whatever monies the Church spent in their campaign about making Mormonism more palatable and digestible to the outside world, all of the sudden just went down the drain.

Imagine you have pictures of one of these members in question crying and saying that losing her membership in the Church would be devastating. Of course, I can understand that and I do not envy her position, most of our members center their entire lives around the Church and the concept of eternal families, of course anyone would feel devastated at the thought of losing such a key part of their lives.

It seems that Church headquarters has been quite busy and making a few phone calls. The only reason I can think of for this drastic decision (erroneous decision in my view) is the fact that the group is growing too fast for the Church. Having said that, it is quite naive to think that excommunicating these members will somehow disintegrate the group. It won’t happen, as a matter of fact, it will make this group even stronger because adversity in any social group causes the group to unite even more in times of crisis.

Is the Church aware of that? Other people will take charge, are they going to call a disciplinary hearing for every single person who participates in such group? I find *this* position to be cold, drastic and if you allow me, a position that puts the Church as a religious bully. “Do as I said, think like we do or else your membership is in jeopardy”. Isn’t there room for doubts or disagreement?

The Church stated that they do not meet with extreme groups; I find that response very cold and heartbreaking. Cold because we have to take into consideration that these brothers and sisters aren’t strangers to the Church, they are women, sisters, mothers, fathers, returned missionaries who have dedicated and sacrificed resources, family time and countless hours to give service to the same Church who at the present time, doesn’t wish to have a dialogue with them and listen to their point of view but instead they want to pretty much get rid of them.

Labeling this group as “extreme” as the Church has done, they are putting these members in a position where they will be victims of scorn and scrutiny just because they dare to think differently in some issues and ask for an open dialogue.

I am disappointed. Our Church apostles and seventies meet with country leaders and people all over the world and you are telling me that there is no willingness, no effort and no time to meet some concerned and dedicated members of their fold who want to be listened to and feel validated? The SAME people who are making OUR Church grow? The SAME people who after working long hours have Church meetings to fulfill their ecclesiastic responsibilities? The SAME people who go without many times to pay tithing? The SAME people? Really? It gives me shivers down my spine.

One can argue whether the Church has a reason or not to call a disciplinary council but one thing is evident to me, the Church has not been willing to meet and listen to their concerns face to face and this sort of action is nothing more than a “message” trying to be send to you, me or anyone who dares to think differently. You either conform or we get rid of you quickly and when you are ready to think like *us* and act like *us* and be like *us* you are welcome back.

I blogged in the past that there is room for everyone in the Church, now I am not sure. Parents are models for their children’s behavior; they act in the same manner they observe their parents acting. Are we really surprised why our members are known to be so judgmental towards anyone who is different in the Church?”: The guy who dares to have a beard, the feminist, the guy with the tattoos, the one that chooses a colored shirt to pass the sacrament, the open gay member? No, I am not surprised.

We are just imitating what our “parent” has been doing and we are just merely showing unconsciously and many times, consciously the model that is being given to us. It saddens me deeply.

Some members are overcome by doubts and they feel lonely, ostracized and unwanted. When they see someone willing to say they have doubts but they remain faithful members of the Church helps them to realize that they are not alone in their struggle.

Every human being wants to fit in a social group, wants to be accepted, loved, appreciated and valued no matter who they are. When you have members who have given their resources, their whole heart and soul to the cause and the same Church slaps them back with a disciplinary council letter, you are damaging them for life, you are scaring them forever.

Today I feel a little less wanted in the Church I love and makes me realize that when we talk about members leaving the Church, a very few times we talk about what degree of responsibility *we* have for them leaving.

A profound, honest mea culpa needs to take place in each one of us, individually and collectively if we are interested in helping those struggling in the faith or whose views are different than ours. Is there room for them in our midst? I really hope there is. We need them, I need them.

An open and sincere dialogue needs to take place if we truly care about their welfare. If we do not care, then well, by all means let’s continue sending disciplinary action letters and imagine that by doing that, this organization will soon vanish. Let’s continue wearing our rose-tinted glasses and pretend that all is well in Zion…

Priesthood Ban And Past Theories

User posted image
Most of you know that I’m very interested in Church history. I spend a few hours a day studying, researching and writing about a few topics, one of particular interest to me from a historical context and perhaps also through an inexplicable bond towards early LDS African Americans, is the Priesthood restriction.

Many people ask me why I keep researching and writing and collecting data about something that happened hundreds of years ago, why I keep researching about Elijah Abel or Jane Elizabeth Manning James or Joseph T. Ball. It seems hard for some to understand why someone who is not African American seem so interested in keeping the memory of these courageous and faithful LDS members alive.

This past week, a lot of these questions were answered. As you all know, the Church took the time recently to release a statement with regards to the Priesthood restriction:

During the first two decades of the Church’s existence, a few black men were ordained to the priesthood. One of these men, Elijah Abel, also participated in temple ceremonies in Kirtland, Ohio, and was later baptized as proxy for deceased relatives in Nauvoo, Illinois. There is no evidence that any black men were denied the priesthood during Joseph Smith’s lifetime.

In 1852, President Brigham Young publicly announced that men of black African descent could no longer be ordained to the priesthood, though thereafter blacks continued to join the Church through baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Following the death of Brigham Young, subsequent Church presidents restricted blacks from receiving the temple endowment or being married in the temple. Over time, Church leaders and members advanced many theories to explain the priesthood and temple restrictions. None of these explanations is accepted today as the official doctrine of the Church.” Race And The Priesthood

I was very excited and pleased when the Church released this statement because even though a lot of us who invested a lot of time, energy and why not, emotion and heart to this particular topic and we would have liked perhaps a more detailed explanation and a few things added, we also know and understand that the Church tried to do their very best without compromising fragile testimonies. All I can say is that I am grateful.

As Latter Day Saints, how aware we are that within our midst there are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day-Saints who even after this statement insist in propagating the theories with regards to African Americans? How many of us know that some within our midst do not believe in that statement because it was not signed by President Monson and therefore it is considered just an anonymous statement done by some Church staff member?

Just recently online, I was baffled at some comments in a discussion board with present views about Blacks and the “Curse of Cain” and the “Non-valiant in the preexistence” past teachings that have been officially disavowed by the modern LDS Church. It saddens me deeply and I feel it is my moral obligation and the moral obligation of every Latter Day Saint to make sure we do not allow such theories that are being masked as doctrine and scriptural interpretation, to continue propagating among us and outside our community.

Granted, sometimes no matter what information we present (As I have done this past week) it does not change what the other person wants to believe, having said that, I do not think we should allow such hurtful theories online or offline to go undisputed.

There is a social and moral responsibility each one of us should feel as disciples of Christ to eradicate these acidulous comments we are hearing among us, not only these distressing theories that do not help in any way but throw more salt to the already existing wound but also any derogatory comments we often hear about other people’s races or ethnicity. When we merely sit quietly and listen to those comments without disputing them, we become part of the problem.

I am pleading with each one of you, whoever is reading this, to stand for what is right. Thirty six years have passed since that glorious day of June, 1978 when the Priesthood restriction was lifted and yet among us in 2014, there are members who insist in continuing living in the past and adhere to the theories that the present LDS Church have disavowed.

Please, for respect towards our African Americans brothers and sisters of ALL creeds, for respect to our early LDS Black members, for respect to yourself, for respect to the Lord, do not propagate theories that are harmful to all of us and particularly to our African American brothers and sisters. Please, do not let these theories to go unchallenged.

Stand for what is right, a lot of us will be thankful and I can only imagine, the many grateful souls in the other side of the veil.

Interracial Marriage

Interracial Marriage

Dear Cheeky: I am 25 years old and started dating this guy a little over 10 months now and he recently proposed. I said yes because he makes me the happiest woman in the world!

However, when I broke the news to my family, they were immediately against it because he is African-American and I am white. My parents say they aren’t racist but they throw quotes from past leaders that indicates that interracial marriage is wrong. Are they right? Please help!
Stacy in California.

Dear Stacy: First of all, congratulations! Wishing you all the happiness. Now, for the rest of your post yes, there were things said by past Church leaders with regards to interracial marriages or relationships that could now be considered to be of a racist nature. From Brigham Young to Spencer W. Kimball, the Church frowned upon interracial marriages:

“Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so. The nations of the earth have transgressed every law that God has given, they have changed the ordinances and broken every covenant made with the fathers, and they are like a hungry man that dreameth that he eateth, and he awaketh and behold he is empty.” (Brigham Young)

“Your ideas, as we understand them, appear to contemplate the intermarriage of the Negro and white races, a concept which has heretofore been most repugnant to most normal-minded people from the ancient patriarchs until now…. There is a growing tendency, particularly among some educators, as it manifests itself in this area, toward the breaking down of race barriers in the matter of intermarriage between whites and blacks, but it does not have the sanction of the Church and is contrary to Church doctrine.” (George Albert Smith)

“”However, in a broad general sense, caste systems have their root and origin in the gospel itself, and when they operate according to the divine decree, the resultant restrictions and segregation are right and proper and have the approval of the Lord. To illustrate: Cain, Ham, and the whole negro race have been cursed with a black skin, the mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a caste apart, a people with whom the other descendants of Adam should not intermarry.” (Bruce R. Mc Conkie)

And then we “Evolved” To the idea of intermarriage NOT because it is a sin or we could lose our exaltation but because it could be a cause of problems in a marriage:

“Now, the brethren feel that it is not the wisest thing to cross racial lines in dating and marrying. There is no condemnation. We have had some of our fine young people who have crossed the lines. We hope they will be very happy, but experience of the brethren through a hundred years has proved to us that marriage is a very difficult thing under any circumstances and the difficulty increases in interrace marriages” (Spencer W. Kimball)

“When I said you must teach your people to overcome their prejudices and accept the Indians, I did not mean that you would encourage intermarriage. I mean that they should be brothers, to worship together and to work together and to play together; but we must discourage intermarriage, not because it is sin. I would like to make this very emphatic. A couple has not committed sin if an Indian boy and a white girl are married, or vice versa. It isn’t a transgression like the transgressions of which many are guilty. But it is not expedient. Marriage statistics and our general experience convince us that marriage is not easy. It is difficult when all factors are favorable. The divorces increase constantly, even where the spouses have the same general background of race, religion, finances, education, and otherwise. “ (Spencer W. Kimball)

In the present time, the Church has no official position on the issue. The modern-day Church focus on the kind of man or woman we should marry with regards to standards and morals rather than race or skin color (Thank goodness!).

If there are individuals who are using their Church position to discourage interracial marriage, be assured that it is only their personal opinion. The Church “Evolved” In many aspects, but we have a long way to go still.

I suggest that you follow both your heart and mind, marriage in the LDS Church is an eternal covenant and shouldn’t be taking lightly. All the best!

 

 

Blessing Of Food

I must confess the blessing of the food is something that I cannot completely figure out.

I understand the need to pray to thank the Lord for the food we are about to eat to show our appreciation for the blessings we have but I do not understand when we ask the Lord to bless the meal that they “may nourish and strengthen our bodies”. I mean, if we are eating something really unhealthy for example how that process takes place? What automatically happens when we bless it? Does the Lord change the molecular components of any food (Healthy or unhealthy) so they nourish our bodies?

Now, don’t get me wrong I understand the need for the blessing of food in remote areas where food might be scarce and people just eat whatever they can get (In some cases, even trash), I think it is quite logical under those circumstances that due to sanitary conditions or rudimentary ways to prepare food, praying about what you eat seems to be the logical thing to do. But other than those occasions, I am not sure of its purpose especially in Church activities where cookies, cakes, corn dogs, soda, pizzas, doritos have a house of their own.

I am not a health freak, I just find it a little hilarious without trying to be sacrilegious…

I just imagine a tray full of fried chicken dripping with oil and another of super buttery cinnamon rolls and the words:

“Lord, please bless these cinnamon rolls we are about to receive so they become less buttery and sugary and the fried chicken as well so it becomes less oily and less clogging for our heart arteries”.

Cinnamon rolls and fried chicken, you are now healed from all your deceases.

Let the feast begin!

Turkey Drumsticks With An Italian Twist

Thanksgivingdinner

Oh Thanksgiving is almost here! One of my favorite days of the year! I know, you are thinking about your roasted turkey, super creamy mash potatoes (Yum!) and green beans which of course (Unless there is something really wrong with you) is absolutely fantastic!

But the food isn’t the issue here but the entertainment factor that comes along with it. Man, I have never seen people fighting so much about who brings what or who says what or why you invited “X” person, but at the same time they all hold hands, close their eyes for the blessing of the food (Some just one so they can still keep the other eye on the food, when you have a big family… Man, people steal food) and if you happen to have an Italian or Jewish family (Believe me, Jewish and Italian mothers are identical!) then you are doomed.

Seriously. If you are anything like me, you would just pop some popcorn in the microwave and watch! Who needs football?

Then you are ready to eat and you are literally starving. Please, please, please (You are thinking)”¦Dad, choose someone who will give a short prayer! But of course your Dad chooses his brother who for the last few years has been giving the prayers during Christmas and Thanksgiving and he has to beat his own record of 13 minutes 5 seconds prayer. You hold hands, bow your head and ask the Lord for a miracle. If there is a God, he will make sure your uncle gives a shorter prayer this time. And He does! He gives a prayer of 8 minutes 6 seconds making this prayer one of the most memorable ones.

Now, if you think the combination of being Jewish and Italian isn’t enough, add to that the Mormon factor and you have a ticking bomb in the making. While your Italian mother is forcing you to eat that humongous turkey drumstick and gives you the speech (Still!) that ‘so many children in Africa are dying of hunger every day and you are daring to waste food”, you have to remind her that leftovers exist for a reason but then you have your father who tells you to listen to your mother because that’s how you show respect. Sure Dad, let me swallow that drumstick turkey and vomit!

At the same time, you are sitting next to a Utah Mormon who is talking to you non-stop and all she says while smiling and talking like a Primary teacher is:

“Isn’t she a gem?” (Moves head to one side while smiling)

“Isn’t he great?” (Moves head to the other side while smiling)

“God bless her soul” (Whispers in your ear)

“She is so sweet” (Gets realllyy close).

Creepy!

Did I mention the children? I mean, are they even children or little creatures dressed as children? And you hear the parents:

“Daniel, give a big kiss to auntie!”

Nooooooooooo you are thinking inside of you while in the outside you have a big smile on your face.

*Daniel is running towards you and drooling while having a runny nose and a cough*

Holy Cow! Where are the crucifixes and garlic? Quick!

Muack! He gives you a big kiss”¦and left with you 10 pounds of saliva by your cheek and of course, at least 3 million germs. Fantastic. Of course, the old Utah lady must add “Awwww”¦Isn’t he wonderful?” No, he isn’t!

Mom wants you to eat ice-cream. Heck, won’t let you LEAVE the table unless you eat the ice-cream. You politely decline because you have become allergic to milk. But Mom is Italian and she knows how to make her children feel guilty. She gets sad, your Dad gets angry and you end up eating a bowl of ice-cream just to see your mother smiling again. Did I say Italian mothers have a Phd on manipulation?

Time to clear up the table. You offer to do the dishes of course with the hope that someone would say “Oh don’t worry, we will do it!”. Nobody does. Darn it. You start loading the dishwasher until your grandma stops you and asks you what you are doing. Of course, you do not want to be disrespectful to grandma so you kindly explain to her that you are going to do the dishes but she is old school and says that ‘those machines do not wash the dishes properly” so you should do it by hand.

What?! Grandma has been drinking?

Hey grandma, I think Dad is calling you. She leaves and you start loading the dishwasher like crazy before she comes. You finish cleaning the kitchen and want to lay down on the couch and rest”¦but Mom wants to read the scriptures in Italian as a family. Are you serious? Who reads the scriptures AND in Italian right after a Thanksgiving meal? That’s plain abuse!

“Se sei allegro, loda il Signore col acanto, con la musica, con la danza e con una bpreghiera di lode e di cringraziamento.” (Dottrina e Alleanze 136:28)

The night approaches and everyone goes home. Silence fills the air completely. You sort of miss the saliva kiss you got and laugh about being annoyed over the old Utah lady. And realize that those little moments in time are the ones that you will remember forever… Specially when you are really, really old and got a new rocking chair”¦ (*playing a sad song with the violin in the background*)

But…but..What the heck am I saying? No way!

You know me, Cheeky won’t be doing that”¦ so do not get your hopes high.

She will be too busy forcing her own grandchildren eat those humongous turkey drumsticks! Ah, I tell you! Nothing more satisfying than sweet revenge!

President Uchtdorf Did It Again

User posted image
You guys know I love President Uchtdorf (And yes, his amazing tan too). His last talk in General Conference has me wondering if he has been checking some of my old blog entries wink.gif.

Man, the guy knows how to speak. He is eloquent, intelligent, and spiritual in a down to earth, realistic kind of way.

I have been sharing some of the things he said for years but most of the time I either received a lot of support or was completely bashed and labeled as an apostate or heretic over some of those same views he shared but”¦ of course, he is an Apostle and I am just a Cheeky Mormon.

His whole talk was excellent but the greatest part was :

“Some struggle with unanswered questions about things that have been done or said in the past. We openly acknowledge that in nearly 200 years of Church history-along with an uninterrupted line of inspired, honorable, and divine events-there have been some things said and done that could cause people to question”¦

And, to be perfectly frank, there have been times when members or leaders in the Church have simply made mistakes. There may have been things said or done that were not in harmony with our values, principles, or doctrine.”

I know, he didn’t reveal any new doctrine or thought….Church is made of imperfect people including Church leaders (And by that, I mean from your Bishop all the way up to the Prophet) and because they are imperfect, they commit mistakes and many times those mistakes were done in the name of doctrine, even though perhaps it wasn’t.

It’s funny though because for one side we seem to understand the concept of a Prophet or a Church leader being a human being just like the rest of us mortals, imperfect and subject to sin and yet we seem to want to give them the mantle of infallibility.

The psychologist inside me says it is a way to rationalize obedience. It will always makes sense and make us more comfortable to follow and obey someone we deem as perfect or at least pretty close to that than someone who doesn’t claim to possess a special relationship with Christ so when we hear someone commenting about the fallibility of Church leaders it makes us frantic, scared because it puts in danger our comfort zone”¦it makes us wonder whether or not we are indeed following what the Lord really wants from us or we are just simply victims of a nut case who happens to think he talks with God.

The rest of Elder Uchtdorf talk gets pretty amazing when he talks about the kind of things people say when they are asked why they are not coming to Church or decide to remain inactive and just like one of my blog entries states There is room for everyone and this seems to be the main message of his talk.

Even though quite a few unfortunately missed the point of “doubt your doubts”, I am just glad he shared such wonderful things that needed to be said for a long time.

Thank you President Uchtdorf and I apologize for having to check the spelling of your last name every single time I type your name. And while you talk wonder if you use spray-on tanning lotion or owe a tanning booth, but no worries,  not even your amazing hair distracts me. Well, perhaps just a little.

Large Families: Commandment?

largefamily

Dear Cheeky: What do you think about having large families when its not financially possible to do so? Some people tell me the Lord will provide but I personally feel a little bit of family planning needs to take priority, anyway what do you think?

Dear Josh: I think the number of children a couple should have is a personal decision that should be taken very seriously.

I believe the decision of having or not a large family goes beyond just financial situation but also health: Physical and mental preparedness from both parents. Same applies with regards to family planning.

It seems to me that sometimes within the Mormon community, we make too much emphasis on the number of children instead of being concerned with how we go about providing for them in all aspects, not only financially but also emotionally. Any parent out there can testify that having children change your life forever, and they are not and should not be seen as ‘accessories” Like a Gucci handbag.

What is now considered a large family anyways? Heck, I imagine 2 or 3 children shouting at the top of their lungs and chasing each other all over the house, you taking a shower at 12:00pm (If you are lucky!) AND you stepping on Lego blocks in the middle of the night… Isn’t that enough torture? Why multiply that by 12 for heaven’s sake?!

God said “Multiply and Replenish the Earth” But I doubt he meant just for *you* to do it.
