OMG!! LDS Church president urges Mormon women (not men) to take a 10 day fast from social media

Could it be because Mormon Women for Ethical Government says it has 6,000 members opposing Judge Kavanaugh?

"... I invite you to participate in a 10-day fast from social media and from any other media that bring negative and impure thoughts to your mind," Nelson said. "Pray to know which influences to remove during your fast. The effect of your 10-day fast may surprise you. What do you notice after taking a break from perspectives of the world that have been wounding your spirit? Is there a change in where you now want to spend your time and energy? Have any of your priorities shifted—even just a little? I urge you to record and follow through with each impression.

Then based on that review their projected copulation schedule.

If we could get all women on board with this 'fast' here wouldn't be a Republican left in Congress.

Impeachment by Thanksgiving.

If only women would use their power. It is why men have hammered women. Fear of women's power.

In general I don't mind people believing stupid crap (like Mormonism), but when they act on that stupid crap in a way which hurts others, I mind a great deal.

This proposed fast is going nowhere fast.

Social media is how too many Mormon women get paid $$$. I'm surprised the LD$ President doesn't know that. He'll be made aware, I'm sure. And God will 'speak to him' about it.
