Most likely someone in PR finally said, " any publicity is good publicity is a damn lie".

Everyone repeat after me: cult of personality,

OK. From another thread there was talk of resigned members needing to be re-baptized. That has never been my understanding. "Once a person joins The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, circumstances requiring rebaptism are unusual. In current policy and practice, a person would be rebaptize...

Technical question , I don't believe a new baptism is needed. You interview and are reinstated if memory serves....

Why did they need to be sealed...if you didn't have to read directly from them?

Matches what they taught about dating in 1980 at a special dating fireside.

Wow, you're better man than I. I would have just perked up and said, "Well, maybe I'll get cancer and you can savor the moments".

Pro help. Get Pro Help.

Apparently we grew up under the same rock. A couple of days ago my daughter who does excellent calligraphy, was contacted by her aunt to help design a baptismal announcement for my soon to be 8 niece. Weirded me out. I googled it and HOLY SH*T there's a lot of templates and services for sale! https:...

43 And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life. 44 For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God. 45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is lig...

My Dad always asked, "Is this the hill you want to die on?" To me your situation compares to "is this the calling you want to kill your relationship on?" Yeah, if he was dogging you about teaching or serving in the YM then maybe it's time to make a stand...otherwise, why fight? I think you did a pru...

Digital chlororform. Ywan....

What a wonderfully leading topic! The talk should write itself: eternal marriage, eternal family, blah, blah, blah. Narrowing it down should be the problem. If she asks for advice I would ask her if being in the Church helps and keeps her living a Christ centered life. A Christ centered life, not a ...

Look on the web and you’ll find plenty or angry, bitter, vitriolic former Latter-day Saints.

Remember the internal LDS historical narrative is that persecution is what the true church ...

It's a mindset issue as mentioned. When the curtain falls the real question is: Was I good to my fellow man? Was I compassionate, generous, merciful? Did I turn my back or step up?

I would think call the Forum "Gospel Doctrine 2017" and let the people who want to start threads with the week or lesson number.

If you're in a Gospel Doctrine class I would offer that most members unwittingly view priesthood ordinances as incantations . in·can·ta·tion ˌinkanˈtāSH(ə)n/ noun a series of words said as a magic spell or charm. "an incantation to raise the dead" synonyms: chant, invocation, conjuration, magic spel...
