I need to be aware of this mess going on and now already it's fanning out and creating more confusion and division but not get embroiled in it. Read this from today.....
The recent wave of church discipline facing prominent Mormons who have advocated for change within the LDS Church has caused many members to who hold similar views and beliefs to request their own disciplinary councils.
The members being disciplined include Kate Kelly, the founder of the Ordain Women movement, John Dehlin, a prolific writer, researcher, podcaster, and leader in the online LDS community and Alan “Rock” Waterman a prominent blogger at The Pure Mormonism blog.
In response they are organizing a grass roots movement called “Strangers In Zion,” and are calling upon thousands of Church members to send in requests to their local Church leaders for disciplinary councils. This movement has been widely distributed within the online Mormon community, and its website has received 8,000 page views within twelve hours of its launching. Strangers In Zion offers letter templates, community, and the opportunity to sign up at its website http://www.strangersinzion.org.

They are aiming at sending the papers in all at once on July 24th for requesting courts. I wish they would just form their own Church. Why force yourself on an established Church?
Last days for sure. I'm thinking of what President Kimball said about us, the women of the Church, in the last days. We need to know and be able to articulate our feelings and testimony.

I love that story of Nehemiah. He refused to budge because he knew they were trying to get him off task and foul up his important work. We have an important work individually and collectively.
I know the Gospel is led by Prophets inspired through Jesus Christ.
