Hi, I’m Marishia

Chino Blanco, August 19, 2010May 17, 2011

In this post, we’re chatting with the author of a mormon.org profile that caught our attention.

Chino,

I’m sad for people like you because you deny the fullness of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. You choose to put down others like myself who have finally found peace and acceptance with their homosexuality. Rather than be happy for the few of us who are free from depression and suicidal thoughts, you and your friends choose to tear us apart, falsely accuse us and condemn us without ever even talking to us or knowing us. You will never understand the amazing witness I received from the Holy Spirit, if you never accept the Savior and his true gospel fully. I never underwent any Church treatment. I am not involved with any PR for Mufi Hannemann. You and your friends are wrong on everything you have tried to accuse me of.

I hope and pray that you will receive the special witness like I did because then you’ll know for yourself what others like me are talking about.

God bless you Chino.

Aloha,
Marishia.

Taking the Long Term View on Marriage Equality

November 9, 2008October 20, 2010

Intellectually, one can only sustain the orthodox position against marriage equality if one assumes that gays are not fully human or somehow defective. Unfortunately, biology contradicts that notion. The Church is correct in asserting the freedom for the organization and its members. However, our liberty ends where it begins to…

    You didn’t miss much, Lisa. Marishia’s profile is back up.

    And to anyone else reading, please feel free to read my #48 and enjoy a chuckle at my expense. I earned it. 😉

    Marishia makes the news (or at least, a Salt Lake Tribune blog).

    And Marishia’s cousin, Mufi, makes the news, too: Blowout: Abercrombie to face Aiona after trouncing Hannemann
