And now, if you would find a church as socially conscious as the Mormon Church, you would have done well. The outreach, the worldwide missionary outreach, young adults, youth, volunteering their time, everyone is a minister in a ministry of outreach, that would be a wonderful model for all of our churches to adopt.

Its about a 5 hour drive, but we greatly need to see this film! I was reading the posts you had made about what parts of the film would end up in the extra features vs in the film itself. Please if possible leave the interview that mentions the temnple worker telling the black member that she woudnt recognize her in the next life because she would "not be black" - the response that Tamu Smith gives (or is it someone else) needs to be heard by every member. (I have not seen the film yet but am going by the preview and reviews) I can't tell you how many times people say this to me or my wife, and how we have to correct them and tell them that they are incorrect. The idea of someone "turning white" when they go to heaven is absolutely appalling and hurtful and goes against the very point of the ressurection itself. We are praying for you and Darius and this film!! Jamie Hello Margaret, This is Jamie, (Dusty’s husband) -

Does anyone else have a hard time convincing most anglo people that racism still exists? If ever I get into a discussion, I share with people the MANY degrading experiences I've had and they honestly think I am being too sensitive, that these concerns are a cop-out, I'm trying to start trouble, I'm lying, or I'm exaggerating. I actually had to buy lollipops to convince white guys to dance with me when I went to Utah for a Lambda Delt. convention or that while I was in the MTC someone yelled, "Last one to the bus is a NIGGER" Or how about the time in the temple I was forced to change places from my anglo partner with another woman who happened to be with a polynesian man because the officiator didn't think it was "right". Uh Oh, Ya'll have got me started now!!! I am looking forward to buying the movie and sharing it with people. I can actually feel as if I am no longer <em>so</em> alone - I feel empowered. I feel as if I don't have to excuse my blackness, I can be proud of it. <strong>FINALLY!!!</strong><em> Thanks for bringing it up with Bro. Gray. Maybe you remember me, Bro. Gray introduced me to my husband via the telephone! I'm Black and He's white. We met you when you came to Round Rock Texas. Well, take great care my dear!! --D PS. (SP) Hello again Margaret,

They confirmed that showtime will be Saturday, 2/2, @ 5:00pm. . Tickets are available on-line at: http://sdbff.com/nobody_knows.htm Don't wait -- they've already sold more than half the tickets. The on-line confirmation says that the tickets will come to your billing address but the staff insist that they will be held at Will Call. They also said that they may open a second screening if this sells out. . You may want to buy a pass; the other films look interesting as well. I just talked with the San Diego film festival.
