Re: One Can of Worms... out of many.
It probably all started when Joseph Smith thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if..." when he heard until death do you part during someone's wedding. That or it started when he read someone else's thoughts about that. Matthew 22:30 probably wasn't even considered. If the verse did come up they probably did...

Re: Israel
Why don't Jews like Mormons? Perhaps because Mormons claim to be Jews when they are not? Mormons want to erase Israel - want the messiah to come to America instead? It could be related to church members doing proxy baptisms for holocaust victims in the 1990s. It could also be that Jews hold an unfa...

Re: NOMference Sunday afternoon Fall 2023
Gotta say, church revenues must be way down.
I don't pay very close attention but it seems like several conferences have gone by without a mention of tithing. I've heard references to tithing in at least a half dozen talks this conference.

Oh gods a new buzz word... Hear him and a few others didn't take. While I'm anxious for "covenant path" to go away forever, I'd rather it be replaced with nothing.

And, they have to have a gospel purpose. They can’t just be for social interaction. -613 I just felt like it needed a weird number, because it is a weird belief that socialization for itself has no purpose. Socialization is the gospel.

I mean, if people turn down a calling, maybe honor that or... gasp... ask them why or what their wishes are. Don't start up with the obligation garbage.

Re: Bednar dedication of the Smith home
Jesus didn't tell parents to do that until he told Joseph Smith.This home was a place where they obeyed the commands that the Lord recently had given to parents: to teach their children the gospel and bring them up in light and truth.
Was it also the house where the Lord revealed sliced bread?

Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
I wish I could remember a few specifics. It's been about 10 years since I've done an endowment session and the memories fade. The insights I had were never anything amazing. At first learning something each time meant I got a little farther with memorizing the presentation at the veil. After that it...

Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
As a full believer it never felt like I was making things up, it felt like I was discovering the deep hidden meanings buried in things where the meaning was there all along just waiting for me to discover it. Reflecting back I can say that the ordinances in the temple have little intrinsic meaning. ...

Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
I'm a convert, so I wasn't bone-weary of the Sunday School lessons by the time I went to the temple for my endowments. Sure, it was just a retelling of everything you hear during Sunday School, but it didn't elicit the, "not this again" reaction that it would elicit from me today. I 110% bought into...

Re: What did you learn in the temple today, honey?
I'll start off with a tangent. What is the policy for when a person is eligible to receive their endowment and is that policy different for men and women? Back in the day when I received my endowment, women generally couldn't receive their endowment unless they were getting married or serving a miss...

Re: Returning Missionary Procedures
I have never heard of that.
I don't know the procedures for such things but I would have thought that if a missionary had done something that required a "church court" that they would have been sent home for the council to be held in their home stake.
