It's funny that so many of you will "speak out" against "speaking out." Are you putting your two cents in just to discourage others that would speak up not too? If you want to be quiet, then follow your own advice. I agree with everyone that lives their life as an example, but we are being encouraged by church leaders to speak up right now....why do you think they have mormon.org? If you don't want to write a letter to Dr. Jeffress then write to [name removed] or better yet send your Latter Day Saint support to a candidate that you like but don't sit there and be quiet about your faith and wait for someone to ask you a question....Open Your Mouth! We don't go over that every week at church just for kicks and giggles. I was not only suggesting this to other church members I think anyone that disagrees with this man's hate message should speak up, in some way. If I was a member of his church I would voice my disapproval with this as well. And for all of you quiet folks out there, aren't we all glad the Joseph Smith had the courage to stand up for what he believed in and tell the world because if he had kept quiet and waited for someone to ask him or just decided to be an example for others without a voice we wouldn't be here discussing this today.

I choose to disagree...respectfully. Speak up people its the only way things will change!! This is what groups of people are doing all around the world to make change happen. We are all missionaries of our faith and if we don't speak up no one will. This person spoke up and now his opinion is out there for the world to see but where is yours?? Quietly hidden away because you don't think it will help, or think silence is best....hmmmmmm

That's exactly the opinion that we need to change as a collective group of religious people. Are we going to be chased out of the US again because we won't fight for our beliefs and let misinformed people sway the government in this country? It is our right to speak out and stand up for what we believe. Just a thought...

I encourage everyone to send an email and let Dr. Jeffress know how you feel about comments that he made this last weekend regarding our faith. We need to speak up for our faith and not let people continue to spread misinformation!!
