Re: Come Along With Me - Second Arrow

Linked, I am impressed that you at least are able to have your family stay home with you once a month. My wife is pretty strong-willed and so it's been hard to do much compromising with her. I am just hoping to at least let them them know of my beliefs before they decide to go on a mission and ...

Re: Visions

I searched the internet and found a couple of reddit posts that seemed to apply. One under ParleyPrattskin and the one below that Truthisantimormon. Here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comment ... ?rdt=36748

Visions

I have an ancestor who was in the Kirtland temple with JS was there and said that he looked where JS was looking and saw 6 persons dressed in white wearing baker's hats and mocasins. He said that this vision strengthened his testimony of the temple later on. This is sort of an impressive vision to ...

Re: Happy New Year!

Sounds good on the reunion. I'll just need a bit of advanced notice to plan. If we could do it at the Fashion Place Mall again that would be really convenient. Yes Hagoth that is kind of a crazy story. They would probably have to make really sturdy lids to open and close for air. I was also trying ...

Re: Why People Quit Religion and How They Find Meaning Again

It's encouraging to know that this is probably a trend and hopefully it will continue to be increasingly common so that those who are still in will have more empathy for us. And like he says, I suppose we need to have empathy for the believers.

Re: David Archuleta song about stepping away from the Church

It's great to have celebrities on our side right!? Looks like I'm going to baptize my son not that I believe in the church but to appease my believing wife and that I don't think it's a bad thing to follow jesus. But this may make it harder to explain to my son probably when he's contemplating a ...

Re: This garment underwear crack down is WEIRD!

Joseph Smith took his off apparently before being killed in Carthage. I thought we are to believe that they give us some sort of protection. He kept his jupiter talisman on though right? And we don't hear anything in the bible about garments do we? :roll:

Re: How to respond to believing spouse?

So here's an update. My wife and I spoke with the bishop yesterday about baptizing my son. He talked it over with his counselors and they felt ok with me doing it. This new bishop has two brothers who have left the church; so that along with his interest in Mormon criticism and apologetics and in ...

Re: How to respond to believing spouse?

It's so nice to be mostly out of the church. All my siblings are out, but wife's siblings are all in so it makes it tough on her. Also, I still feel the pressure to stand in circles whenever wife's family has ordinance things. I try to avoid them when possible. That's why I think it would be good ...

This is the child's event, not the parents. Do what it takes to serve the child's interest, even down to skipping baptism if so chosen. D&C 68 42 "For all men must repent and be baptized, and not only men, but women, and children who have arrived at the years of accountability." D&C 18 25 "And ...

Something of note that hasn't been mentioned: Baptism is an Aaronic Priesthood ordinance. Any zit-faced 16-year-old MORmON has the "power" to baptize. ( Nothing against zit-faced 16-year-olds - that was me at that age, AND I was a red-head! :shock: ) Just a little something to keep in the back ...
