Wear Pants to Church

I know this is old news, but here's what I have to say regarding the feminist movement "Wear Pants on Sunday."  

Never in my 21 years of being Mormon have I felt like I was less important than a man.  Never.  

These issues are in your head.  You're upset because you can't hold the Priesthood or be a bishop? Really? Look back to when Christ was on the earth.  Did he have female apostles? No.

Let's bring in something that Christ has said on the matter.  

And he commanded them that there should be no contention

one with another, but that they should look forward with 

one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts

 knit together in unity and in love one towards another.

                  -Mosiah 18:21

And many more things did the people imagine up in their hearts, 

which were foolish and vain; and they were much disturbed, 

for Satan did stir them up to do iniquity continually; 

yea, he did go about spreading rumors and contentions upon 

all the face of the land, that he might harden the hearts 

of the people against that which was good 

and against that which should come.

                    -Helaman 16:22

Do you know what these scriptures mean?  It means that Satan gets people to "imagine up in their hearts" issues that AREN'T THERE!  Why?  Because if he can get you to think, "Oh me! The Church is sexist!" then you'll do stupid crap like create "Wear Pants to Church" to create contention in the church.  

If you really have an issue, go to Christ about it.  Pray and ask if the church is sexist.  Don't think He'll answer you? Then why be a member at all?

It's sad to me that you women who participated in this are trying to drag the church through the mud.  If you don't like it, why be a part of it?  If you believe the church is true--really truly believe it is true with all your heart--why are you getting caught up in this nonsense? 

As much as I want to tell each of you how much of an idiot you are, I feel more sadness for you.  You've allowed Satan to enter your heart and pride to take over.

But I know one thing.  "Inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.  Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord. Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be  confounded in mine own due time."

That's what I know to be true.  Not this nonsense about wearing pants to church.  Try focusing on a real issue.

And just for a little humor, 

Dear People of the World, I don't mean to sound slutty, but please use me whenever you want. Sincerely, Grammar

If you don't know this about me already, I'm an English language major and an editing minor. 

I'm not usually too picky or judgmental about people's spelling or grammar, mostly because I'm not perfect myself. 

There are, however, a few things that really get to me.

Here's a small list. Including a comic from The Oatmeal that can provide further (not farther) explanations on these subjects. Basically my favorite source of grammar humor. Yes, that exists. 

1. To, too, and two. 
I promise you, if you take .3 seconds to think about it, it's easy to figure out. 

2. Lose and loose.
Lose means you misplaced something. Loose means, well, to make something loose. As in not tight.














3. It's and its
It's is simple. IT IS. No really. That's what it means. Its is possessive.



4. Their, they're, and there.
Their=possessive.
They're=THEY ARE. Get how that works?
There=a place.  See how it has HERE inside of it? 



5. Your and You're
If you think your means you are, than you're an idiot.
That's the difference between the two (see how I used two correctly, too?)



6. Definitely. 
The root is FINITE, meaning well, definite. Simple. NO A.



7. Whether and Weather.
If you really can't distinguish between these two, that's just sad.



8. A lot.
Alot is NOT a word. You're saying you have a lot of something, sort of like saying you have a ton or a bunch or a piece or a bag of something. Lot is an amount. 



9. I'm do.
What does that even mean!? I'm do. I am do. That makes NO sense. Do you mean you are going to do {fill in the blank}? If you want to be lazy, at least use gonna! Do does not work as a verb here! You are essentially speaking gibberish!! The same works for I'm die or I'm go! You no make-a any sense!

10. It don't.
If you're going to seriously say this, just please shoot me and put me out of my misery.  Honestly.  It doesn't take anymore time to say IT DOESN'T than to say IT DON'T. Just please. There is no way you write this and think, "Hey, that sounds totally correct." NO. 

11. Our and are.
Just seriously. Really. Honestly. If you don't know the difference between these two, go back to school.

12. Weird v wierd
I have nothing to even say about this. So I'll let The Oatmeal do the talking.




Here are some other links to stuff on The Oatmeal that I feel strongly about. Please for the sake of humanity check them out.

This is all I have for now.  I promise I'm not a Nazi and I'm not going to correct you if you're wrong, even if I really want to.  Just have a little courtesy and think about what you say it before you murder the minds of people.
