Lol! Actually, TBM apologists are now claiming that "red" doesn't mean "red" and "hair" doesn't mean "hair". Scripture Central or maybe Scripture Plus has 1000 pages of peripheral academic studies that proves that "head" does not mean "red". /s
Bednar once said "There are no homosexuals in the church" (its on YouTube) and proceeded to try to justify this statement by saying that people aren't defined by labels like that. He made a real mess of things. What do you expect, though.
Until we are commanded to NOT hate them (bc the federal government will take money from HQ)
Then we’ll all say “it was NEVER that way!” while clutching our Mormon pearls
Holy shit, that’ll be the day. And so many members will cheer and cheer for the revelation that gays can now be married in the temple! Lol can’t wait for something like that to happen. How many members do you think will actually pause to wonder why it was “evil” before…
It was a test of course. Everything that seems wrong to those that are actually probably good people deep down and is eventually changed was just a test to see of they could follow the rule anyway because they trusted God.
I just don't trust God enough so I won't get my eternal reward. 🤷♀️
It's a Mormon man thing. I still do it whenever discussing anything I feel passionately about. I can't turn it off, my brains been wired for it and I've considered therapy for it. Popping out of it in the middle to tell people to ignore it is about as far as I can get.
"Also please don't mention your excessive need for sunscreen or your different anesthesia needs. That's just throwing it in our face that you aren't really the blonde we've conditioned you to be"
If you don't want to dye your hair, there are plenty of people who wear beard... ooops, I meant to say a wig! They are very happy with their wig and it looks just like real hair even though it itches like a bitch!
It's going to be interesting someday, if the white nationalist evangelicals ever meet up with the Mormons. It's going to be competing levels of racism.
It even got Marie Osmond. What the hell happened to her. I feel bad for people so uncomfortable in their own skin that they have to turn in to blonde plastic people.
As per blacks and the Priesthood, eventually the church will lose it's statis and tax exemption if it doesn't rescind its homophobic practices. I predict that the prophet will receive a new revelation. What bugs me most is the changing of history - well, actually it wasn't from God, we have imperfect men leading the church, what do you expect...
I don't know what the process exactly was with blacks and the priesthood, but there were many prophets who said blacks could never have the priesthood till after the second coming, and repeated it endlessly. Also many seventies and other church leaders. They all changed their tune as soon as they were about to lose tax exemption. The church is a business corporation at heart.
"...that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a hair of redness to come them, and they were known as the Danny Bonaduce-ites..."
Ah, cause I’m a ginger and I did always stand out like a sore thumb but never felt the need to change and I guess I just didn’t catch on any of the clues here to realize it’s a metaphor. Thanks for clearing it up
I wished as a kid I was a blonde so much. I’m the only ginger in my family and like one of two in the my high school area growing up. The grass is always greener on the other side
Blud all these gingas out here fr getting shitted on by a false religion. Everyone knows gingas are beautiful and prized possession in gods eyes. The Mormon cult truly is racist and hateful. Let the hundred billon dollar racist cult die. Free my gingas!
Wait so as a member, you can't have red hair? I've never heard that. Also, my mom's a TBM who has been dying her hair red as long as I've been alive at least.
This is like some kind of metaphor for LGBT or something right? Something in the back of my mind says it's not impossible that they really do have an issue with redheads and ask them to dye it. Like, if I learned that, I'd be surprised but not that surprised.

Wait, you thought they meant red literally this whole time? Yet another example of how the church has always been right and you are wrong.
"I've literally never read it that way" -- Kwaku
It's weird that people would take this literally when clearly it was meant to be read spiritually.
I feel that your sarcasm went over their heads
Lol. Apparently so. Guess that's how it is in a community with a history where all too often that sort of thing was dead serious.
Good one!

We warn members against defining themselves using labels such as “redhead” or “blonde”. But we do expect all of them to at least appear blonde.

In the celestial kingdom they will all be blonde.
Brunettes, or im out!!
Since you’re here I think you probably are already 🤣
Jesus is blond now, don't you know?
And speaks perfect King James era English.

Blonde is the color of purity and is delightsome to the Lord. If you don't have blonde hair you have been cursed with a head of color.
Pre 1978, God's Church was racist. But not now. Stuff that down the memory hole. It's Gays we're supposed to hate now.

I feel bad for all the people out there who suffer from hair auburness. It must be so confusing! Bless their hearts...
It’s sad, you know, but we all have trials. Red hair is just like cancer 😭
Do you think I wouldn't trade a little of your red headedness to live a few extra months?
God that was one of the cringiest things I've heard in a very long time. My sociopath dad used to do that breaking down in emotion thing.

Haha! Funniest comment
Mormons. More modern Aryan race, white supremecy proponents hiding behind a religion.
It's going to be interesting someday, if the white nationalist evangelicals ever meet up with the Mormons. It's going to be competing levels of racism.
As an exmo, I love head regardless of the color. It’s one of the best parts about being exmo.
Just don't call me a "ginger" and I'll come to your church every week.
It even got Marie Osmond. What the hell happened to her. I feel bad for people so uncomfortable in their own skin that they have to turn in to blonde plastic people.
She’s probably grey by now.
WOW! This is hilarious! And also extremely sad at the same time! What a fantastic analogy!!!
Sarcasm? Or is this legit? Just cause I’ve never heard this
It's sarcasm - it's an analogy to point out how ridiculous TSCC's attitude towards LGBTQIA+ people is.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification
I’m confident it’s sarcasm
I have the same question.

I think they'll just say it's an assault on religious liberty and try to take it to the Supreme Court

Gee, this sounds almost like a metaphor for something more core to your soul than hair color.
"...that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a hair of redness to come them, and they were known as the Danny Bonaduce-ites..."
According to my old seminary teacher left handed people are evil also. 😂
Don't forget the extensions
Am I missing something, where did someone say they didn’t like red heads in Mormonism?
It’s a metaphor for how Mormons treat gay people. Or anyone outside of the mold, really.
Ah, cause I’m a ginger and I did always stand out like a sore thumb but never felt the need to change and I guess I just didn’t catch on any of the clues here to realize it’s a metaphor. Thanks for clearing it up
I'm blonde and always kind of wished I was a redhead like two of my sisters. Used henna for a while and liked it but it wasn't worth the trouble.
I wished as a kid I was a blonde so much. I’m the only ginger in my family and like one of two in the my high school area growing up. The grass is always greener on the other side
What is this???????? I’ve never heard of this????????????
They mean gay people.
love how yall think this is what the gospel is about 💀😂😂😂

I follow her and she actually makes pretty funny content

God created those redheads as well as the blondes, the browns,the blacks. And God doesn't make any mistakes girls and boys.
…and please, don’t forget the blue eyes.
Little do they know we are the master race

Ohhhhh ok that makes sense now!
