Submit letters to: Religion editor po Box 951 Utah 5 4402 Ogden or religionstandardnet LDS temple weddings hypocritical elitist As the father of two beautiful I have watched them reach young adulthood with pride And as their father I have looked forward to that tradition of giving each to her future husband Unfortunately I was recently informed that I would not be allowed to perform this most fatherly duty Why not? I have always been a good dad eagerly supporting their interests and activities in addition to their financial needs However I have been deemed “not good enough” to give my daughter to on their wedher husband-to-b- e daughters time-honor- religion Calendar clarity ed ding day It seems my daughter has been recently converted to the Mormon faith and has determined that she must get married in the LDS Temple which does not allow In fact even members cannot enter without passing special requirements - seems to be a very elite club indeed! What is all this secrecy? I consider myself a Christian and I believe that Christians open their homes and places of worship to all Yet here in the land of at least giving lip service to the family I am to be excluded from my daughter’s wedding It appears that family is valued only when they are members of “the secret society:” temple recommended Mormons Not only am I excluded but those church officials who should be encouraging family togetherness have done the opposite They have advocated counseled and recommended non-membe- rs that my daughter choose this secret rite over her father (the local bishop happens to be my next door neighbor yet he doesn’t consider" me good enough to be included in this family function nor does he obviously consider the Fifth Com- mandment important!) Don’t the Mormons bejieyein the Ten Commandment$?LHPw church condone-suc- non-Christi- an ideas? vttin And if this group insists on maintaining such -- exclusivity then they should make it one that can occur immediately following the civil ceremony Cur- -' rently couples must wait a year after a civil ceremony and my daughter has been convinced that she needs to ‘get “sealed” as sooif as possible and should not wait a year! jjhen let the newly married copple enter into this secret club immediately to the public The Church Directory is published once a month prior to the first Sunday of each month Items include the address and phone number of local congregations Missionaries Pictures will be published of departing missionaries only af- ter the traditional wedding which can include all family not just certain adults! I feel completely disrespect-! -- ed and dishonored-- by an extremely hypocritical organization which touts family values on a daily basis The leadership needs to rethink this function so that family edit be truly honored and respected and elitist attitudes are Self-righteo-us decidedly My point is (q express my non-Ghristi- extreme hurt at this exclusion by an entire community and I suggest changes be made to discontinue this most disrespectful elitist selfish and yes hypocritns‘ ical format Duane Adams Jr Layton We need God in everything ter- This letter is in response to all who are complaining about prayers Get real Who cares what kind of prayer is offered stacked against us completely Was this country not based on Christian beliefs? I beg to differ but this is God’s country Why else would this land be the way it is today By luck? Yeah people don’t believe in a Supreme Being But I pray that one day all of you will come to the knowledge that there Is a God and he loves you If we all trusted in God we would not need the Army for God would help us fight off all evil In the past God has helped us win battle after battle our biggest victories such as the Revolutionary War and all world wars when the odds were right as long as we are communicating with God That’s the bottom line I realize that many If we had God back in schools and society' we would see all acts of evil cease In closing I would just like to share this scripture John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perisE7but have ev--' erlasting life” Chad McCrary Washington Terrace THE SOUNDS OF THE SABBATH Music from LDS and elude a description of the event time date place address sponsor cost registration details a number to call for information and whether the event is open can any h & contemporary Christian artists Sunday 7 to 11 AM Softest Place on tlic Dial also heard at 1079 FM- - |
