I was just as stunned as you that there was backlash to her inspiring (and some guilt-inducing) words! I want her to write a book about this! I went back and studied her talk almost word for word along with her other talk the week before. I love DVR!<BR/>Thanks for your insight.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05916232343198180603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827416824296731666.post-58824591055638601672008-01-11T22:26:00.000-08:002008-01-11T22:26:00.000-08:00One last tidbit...while I was wondering what to do...One last tidbit...while I was wondering what to do to let Sister Beck know of the silent majority that sustains her, a friend of mine wrote her a letter of support and got a personal letter back. Then another friend of mine forwarded a email petition in support of her talk and last I knew they had over 2500 signatures on it and had sent the list to Sister Beck. I hope she knows of our love and prays.Terry Neff Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026308108060372481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1827416824296731666.post-1312044662714494212008-01-11T22:17:00.000-08:002008-01-11T22:17:00.000-08:00I read about the reactions to Sister Beck's talk o...I read about the reactions to Sister Beck's talk online after hearing that a man in my ward had a pod-cast. I went to his website and I listened as a panel of various women in the church discussed the negative reactions to her talk and was dumb-founded. I loved her talk. My thoughts, as I heard about the reaction and linked from blog to blog and read the comments were not very kind toward the people writing them. My first reaction was that the wicked take the truth to be hard. Then I read an article in our local paper about the people in our community that signed the rebuttal/petition. One was a friend of mine in my ward. I know her and love her. She taught fabulous lessons in YW this last year. So I had to read this rebuttal. Some of the items were just expounding on Sister Beck's ideas, and some were just puff up in their own understanding. Because of my friend signing it, I have tried to seek for better understanding of why so many were offended. I haven't come to any great conclusions, but I realize that Satan wants us to be divided, and that he wins if we forget charity in the face of conflict. <BR/>I wanted to blog about the controversy myself, but had such turmoil over it that I couldn't put my thoughts down. I enjoyed reading your blog and thoughts. Thanks for sharing.Terry Neff Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026308108060372481noreply@blogger.com
