Will this be a Temple Welding followed by a same day reception? Just going to the reception should keep the family happy.

She patiently pointed out to me that gods plan is eternal, and so we haven't seen but a portion of the fruits thereof.

You start with a hydrogen atom and over time you have the heavier elements. With enough time you have the density of Trump.

Can those groups make fry sauce boasts like ethnic Mormons? Those French and Italians make claims with Remoulade and Aioli by adding curry, garlic, and a splash of olive oil or those Alabamians might do a name switch to Comeback sauce, but do they have the fullness of the truth? Doubt those sauces ...

I think there are good things to find in the LDS Church. One of the best things in my estimation are the members. There are so many kind members who continually go out of their way to help those in need. Those other so-called "churches" might have inspiring sermons and kind members, but what is thei...

Here's my picks!

Round 1:
FP = Oaks, Holland, and Bednar.

That sounds spot on provided they are all alive and healthy.

Do you see any value in myths and teaching your kids about Santa? I see value in teaching them about the tradition, but only in light of the actual truth of it and where it came from, not in the pretend magical part of it. Or did my kids miss out on something important? Santa is a delight for child...

Interesting! It seems around every historical corner more plagiarized material is discovered to be the foundations of Mormonism as opposed to some super special secrets that God reserved for his one and only true restored church in the latter daze. Joseph was a genius at taking many religious ideas...

In my prior stake, ALL MEN were asked by the bishop and stake presidency both some additional questions: "When was the last time you looked at porn?" and "When was the last time you masturbated?" Perhaps he was being like Diogenes and looking for an honest man. I imagine many would lie and deny the...

Is there a correlation between sexual repression and religiosity?
Do unhealthy views on sexuality accompany unhealthy views on religion?

It is really weird why JS "married" a 53-year-old too since it was all about sex. Not weird at all that JS would be attracted to GILS (Grandmothers I'de Love to Seal). After all, he was known for the famous prank at the School of the Prophets where he had the elders line up via the command, "Up aga...

Yikes. The actions by the Church, in this case, are so horrific... members should listen to this.

I would just be grateful that these two Church Elders did not try to burn me at the Stake. I would not want to be part of a Chuch that did not want me. Since I am still religious, I would seek out a faith tradition that was kinder and gentler. Thank goodness they have not come for me, but my heart g...

I slowly began to hum the words to "We thank thee o God for a prophet" as I closed my eyes and found a space in my head to go to. Just lay back, grit your teeth, and think of Nauvoo . Sexual expression and sexual repression always coexist. That was true for naughty Victorians and Salt Lakers alike.

Apostasy ... 5. Formally join another church and advocate its teachings. This seems all wrong. I think the best thing to do is love them coming or going. A movie from the 60's suggested that if you love something, to set it free. It might return or it might not. Either way, it exercised free agency...
