Is she not criticizing leaders of the church? And would that not be wrong? Treating others who are different from us with kindness Electroshock therapy  Oaks declined to comment on the discrepancy between his memory and the research, church spokesman Doug Andersen said” Stop delaying marriage and start having kids Effects of having children early Infant mortality increases when the period between births shortens Continuing to give births at a higher age also carries additional health risks for both mother and child Kristen Oaks is Dallins second wife, she was unmarried previous to marrying him at age 53, she has never had children (nor has Wendy Nelson btw) Perhaps women in particular don’t want to get married earlier because they don’t want to end up as a polygamous wife in the afterlife  Societal trend of marriage ages is rising at a rate of about one month per year, average male age is like 28 and average female age is 25 Effects of getting married early  Kristen didn’t get married young either  The fairness of the plan of salvation vs having lots of kids Tucker Carlson kids thing Messaging on having kids has changed  It probably all comes down to this: there are well documented psychological, sociological, physical, and economical downsides to getting married early and having lots of kids, but there are positive church outcomes in activity rates, tithing receipts, and retention rates. Hence, Oaks views giving potentially damaging advice like this is ok so long as the needs of the church come first. It’s a philosophy called doctrine over self. What is best for you spiritually, socially, or physically must be subverted for the betterment of the collective whole. That is the very definition of a high demand religion.  Most Closeted State in America Revealed Sent this article to my Gay brother who was raised in Utah, he is not at all surprised  Latter-day Saint teen wins ‘American Idol’ Singing share microphone  First Mormon since David Archuletta to win AI Cody Wyoming Neighbors have LDS temple concerns Meeting postponed Public hearing on Cody temple postponed after the church withdrew its applications for the project.
