Why so many? I was raised in a Ward where there were so many girls, we had to have two MIA cl***es and all but two of those many girls were ever friendly. As I said, these mean girls came from wealthy homes, I wasn't so fortunate. NO ONE, and this goes for all religions have the right to look down their noses at those who are less fortunate. It is also unfortunate that leaders such as this Branch President had no clue as to how to have comp***ion for anyone. The higher ups within your church need to look at the whole man, not just his church record. The whole at***ude of a Ward or Branch can be affected by someone's bad at***ude or lack of any personality that would be welcoming and they sure wouldn't be much of an example for someone outside of Mormonism would they? Oh, but since I was a Mormon girl, didn't know anything about other religions, how was I to compare? All I knew was Mormonism and Mormons and being treated like a second cl*** citizen. Since your not a girl, and probably never mistreated by other members, don't you think you are biased? Sorry that you don't understand how being mistreated by people who should have been kind and showing that the faith they believed in was more important then anything, and their church always taught it was the ONLY TRUE CHURCH, they should have acted much better then any other religion. That is what I experienced and what I base my complaints on. Don't call your church the ONLY TRUE CHURCH and then not live it. If you say you have the truth, then again, live like you do and show others that your life is one that would be pleasing to God.
