[ Admin Note: This comment deleted, since it was one long insult and included a borderline condemnation of one of the Church Presidents who initiated some changes in the Church that led to the rise of “modern Mormonism”. This thread is being locked for a short time to let people cool down and respond without insults.] Sorry lady but you are an example of what I am talking about. Ancestors do not matter. You are being politically correct and not Mormon. The Jews, Elijah, Mormon, Joseph Smith would be shocked. Ever hear of the remnant of Israel. So Israel and his descendants do not matter. Wow, I must be reading the wrong standard works. God will accept anybody into Israel but sorry honey ancestors do matter to some of us. I am in the church because of my ancestors. Maybe you are in for a different reason. You be you and I will be me. In my Utah ward at least; they do respect my heritage. They also welcome converts. Try to be more tolerant towards us and we will be more tolerant to converts. Wow I had no idea how many people would respond to this comment. I live in Utah. The typical Utahn is not a fifth generation Mormon. They are 2nd or 3rd generation and they think the religion is all about success and being upper middle class. They care more about appearance than anything else. Many are new to Utah or have only lived in Utah a few generations. They also think being positive is faith. It sounds very old style Presbyterian to me. I know how you feel. My brothers and sisters have always had more money than me. I have been in the financial field and in education which does not pay as well as construction, being an attorney, or being a manager of a corporation. I am going to try to be a principal and then maybe I will be accepted. It seems if you are not rich in Utah you are not accepted.
