Re: Support request

There is probably a caregiver's support group where you are. And in some states, caregivers can get respite. Taking care of you is important to take care of your dad. Please see if extended family will give you 3-4 hours 2 x per week, or even ask your local ward bishop.

Re: Ken Jennings a NOM?

I read that he was responding to people who were offering prayers in response to a call for donations. That would make what he said what lots of people who believe would say.

Re: Need your suggestions

There are a million wonderful places in the US and around the world. We'd have to know more about what they are looking for to be helpful. There are websites which ask for info and then suggests what fits them.

1. What happened is fully and simply wrong. Believe her. 2. Whether or not you encourage her to go to the police now (because if he raped her and didn't get treatment or consequences, he is likely at risk for other harm), support whatever decision she makes. 3. Do not encourage her to conflate what ...

Re: A Turn for the Worse

Didn't read anything but the first post. But no, this isn't about your different believe. This is about your inserting your disapproval about a prayer your young son did, in a way that wife also felt your disgust with her faith. She is saying why don't you just leave her alone rather than be a horse...

Re: End of Summer Confession Time

How is enjoying post skin until you wake up a sin or violation of wearing your garments? Mormons are so uptight. I just cannot imagine Heavenly Parents thinking one has to do that to be square with Them. They want intimacy as part of a loving righteous relationship.

Re: Is the church profiting off homeless shelter?

One of the news reports said that there was an informal bargain that the church would make a generous donation after the sale went through. So in my mind, if they do that, they were simply helping to maximize what the shelter would have from state contribution (that is the source of the payment to t...

Re: Question for the group about when to leave

Why would anyone want to be intimate with someone whom they know is disgusted by their weight? And how would you expect to find someone to love you if you truthfully tell them that your first wife disgusted you because she gained weight, wouldn't have sex, and spend too much money? I'd be all for re...

Re: Post Resignation

The best strategy is to post in your house a beautiful poster of the 11th article of faith, and then be the very best man, husband, father you can be, ignoring all threats. The fact is that in Mormon theology, the Lord looks at your motives and abilities and desires as well as your actually actions....

Re: Moral Dilemma -- to keep something going even if wrong

You could look at the statements of apostles during JS time who left the church on exactly the moral absolutes, most of whom returned to the church before their death. Thomas B. Marsh's was typical "About this time I got a beam in my eye and thought I could discover a mote in Joseph's eye, though it...

Re: Visited a Christian Church for the first time.

Is is beneath you to act like you are acting. If your marriage is done, then get out of it. Don't cheapen everything you have had by cheating on the wife you still claim. And thinking romantically with a new hire married woman you are supposed to train at work is a complete recipe for disaster and l...

Re: What would the church prefer

I think that God would prefer you didn't lie. I think that disclosure of your disaffection at or around the wedding is a terrible thing to do. I think many in your position are simply unexpectedly tied up and too late, too sick, helping someone else for an emergency, even volunteering to stay with t...

Re: John C Bennet Gay?

William McCrary absolutely was part of BY's concern about interracial marriage, which is what I think prompted the priesthood ban. Women wouldn't want to marry people who couldn't take them to the temple. So it solved BY's fears about interracial marriage.
