Elder Dallin H. Oaks told me that I'd “become pornography” for men if I dressed immodestly ... but then we all go to the temple for the first time and there's a completely naked lady in the movie and everybody's like, sure that's fine.
I remember after my 2nd child was born, I felt pretty empty. I had postpartum depression and kind of felt like I was being crushed by the weight of the world. If someone asked me how I was doing, I had to quickly answer and change the subject because otherwise tears would start falling from my eyes. Even though I may have believed in God and had knowledge that I should or could have hope in him, finding it was not possible.
I look forward to the day when the Church can confidently issue statements admitting wrongdoing, repenting, and committing to do better. In the meantime, I’ll take a small public rebuke.
Are prophets not allowed to get old? Are their brains not allowed to age? Would a church president succumbing to Alzheimer's disease make the church less true? We need to allow general authorities to all take (or be obligated to take) retirement at a certain point.
