Big changes are stirring in the world of Latter-day Saint missionaries, their new handbook advises them to cut back on communication and steer clear of prejudice.
It tells them to embrace inclusivity. This might sound like a more open-minded approach, but some are raising an eyebrow. Critics point out the move seems more like a controlling effort.
Missionaries are being told to limit contact with friends and families to a weekly prep day using only emails or letters. Limiting when missionaries can and cannot communicate with their family and friends. A very cult undertone type of control.
Their updated handbook also includes music guidelines, perhaps we should just copy that section of the book into a playlist, so we can make a playlist of everything the LDS church isn't allowed to listen to. It is almost guaranteed to have some good music.
It would be surprising if they were actually genuine about less misogyny. It's a bit ridiculous for them to say we actually need to look at women equally, it's 2023. This is Christianity we're talking about, they used their religion to turn women into concubines and servants. In Mormonism, one man could have many wives. This did not change until they were pressured to do so to achieve statehood.
What is the motivation of the leaders of the church? This seems more of how can we soften ourselves so more people will like us and join us effort. A facade of progress.
We're accepting but not affirming means come to church, worship with us, and we want you to believe that you are welcome here, but at the end of the day you're going to burn in hell for eternity.
Malcolm X said he had more respect for an enemy who let him know where they stand instead of somebody who came in his face pretending to be an angel that wasn't.
