I really like the Church Newsroom's Web site, because it cuts through a lot of rumors that swarm about Mormon culture.
For example, I thought this was a very dignified response to what is being disrespectfully exploited on Big Love.
For elites of the film industry to claim they're tolerant, then rashly show things we regard as sacred, is maddeningly disrespectful.
For example, it's like if you approached a Muslim woman and demanded she remove her hajib because, oh I don't know, you were curious to see what she looked like...regardless of reason, it's just so offensive!
The amount of hajib a woman covers herself with is a personal decision, and we should all respect that woman for covenanting with Allah in the way she has decided!
Go here if you'd like to give HBO feedback. It takes two seconds.
I didn't weep and rail on them, I simply just said that I find their exploitations offensive and intolerant.

I totally agree. I did leave HBO a comment. But I didn't rail on them or freak out. I simply stated my thoughts on their actions in a rational manner. Yelling doesn't solve too many problems. But rationality at least stands a chance.
Every time I read one of the church's official statements I'm proud to be the member of a church who handles things so well and with such class! PS. I'm running a half marathon August 8th
