Wear ORANGE to Church day?

[Vort]

I strongly doubt that anyone on this forum disagrees with those who show solidarity with the Christian martyrs. I expect that 100%, or nearly so, of participants feel such solidarity. But the slippery slope argument applies: Where do we draw the line? Should we wear loud-color ties to show solidarity for abused women? For abused men? For rape victims? For bullied children? For the homeless? For kids who receive a substandard education? For the malnourished? For the morbidly obese? For people struggling with bad tempers? For the overly judgmental? For those who refuse to be hot or cold, and who therefore are in danger of being spewed from God's mouth?

 

And however you slice it, however much we may sympathize with the Christian martyrs and abhor their despicable and murderous executioners, you cannot escape the fact that there are clear political overtones.

 

Sacrament meeting is sacred, perhaps the most sacred meeting we have in the restored Church. Such a sacred meeting must never be allowed to be used as a tool of social propaganda, no matter how important that propaganda may seem, unless such use is specifically approved by those with the Priesthood leadership keys to oversee such actions.
