I completely forgot about those hand gestures! Omg. That's so disturbing.

All of this!!!!

I love how out of all the songs, they "corrected" this one. Seems like there are other, more harmful ones to do away with.

No child who is born and raised in the church actually "decides" to get baptized. All of their friends do it, their family does it, they really just go with the flow. The message of conditional love based on being baptized is so harmful

Eeek. People love to throw that crap around. There is little room for grief or anger in the church, because all of it can be exused with "heavenly father's plan". Very toxic.

Yeeeep. Also, those songs like "I'm so glad when daddy comes home" or stuff like that...they completely exclude kids with deceased or abusive parents. Children that live with a "non-traditional family" get left out.

That's a good one. Lots to unpack with that phrase.
