And, you are again way off. When family members fall away from the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and stop being involved, active family members do not shun them. That is just a stupid ignorant comment. I have inactive sons and a somewhat active daughter. We have never shunned them. They are welcome at all times. In my wife's extended family, there are even, oh my gosh, homosexuals too. We accept them in as well to our homes and get-togethers. They even dart the doors to the Church on occasions and are welcomed by members. The Church is not a spiritual hospital for the well. It's a spiritual hospital for the spiritually sick. Less active people are welcome.Or maybe the view is clearer. I mean you guys live this crazy stuff and when everyone in the room believes the same crazy things, (and will turn out anyone who doesn't) it's hard to be objective.
I stopped being Catholic about 30 years ago. Funny thing happened. My relatives who remained Catholic didn't shun me like Mormons would when their family members leave the cult.
Okay, if you think you are seeing ghosts, we have medications for that now... Or you can call these guys.

Uh, here's the thing. Not being allowed into the priesthood is a big deal because in your cult, all men are supposed to be in the priesthood.
1978! Are you fucking kidding me? Strom Thurmond had black people on his staff by 1978!
Also, the underlying problem was that "The Curse of Ham" was the underlying reason for this barring, that Mormons used to hold that dark skin was a curse from God.
