The church does teach the principle of "Eternal Progression". It isn't always clear what it is or means. It is unique to our faith, I believe. To me it means that in eternity, we learn at our own pace. And we have the potential to arrive at the same place on different time tables. Personally, I am a...

I believe the definitions of "callings" & positions in the church are changing. For example: Stake or Ward Missionaries were called, trained and supervised by Stake positions: Seventies Presidents & Quorum. Visiting Teachers & Home Teachers were called, trained and supervised by EQ Presidency & RS P...

There are other questions that I have. For example: Why does anyone need to be "set apart" while accepting a

Just curious.

Thank you for the warning about this video. We haven't seen it yet. When it comes to our ward, I will be in my car or home.

You're right. They are probably taking more advantage of the new technology. That way they can do less traveling.

We live in the midwest. It was for Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota & Iowa. (& maybe Michigan?)

From time to time, I think they have to go through an organizational change in format for these questions. Otherwise, members
are answering the question before the question has been asked. To avoid a robotic response. They want us to reflect on how we
answer. (I'm guessing.)

Wow. You just blew my mind. That is really a lot to consider. You've been thinking about this for awhile.

When I've felt the way you described, it's my cue that someone else should do this calling. One suggestion: if you go to the Bishop and
ask to be released give him a candidate to fill the position.

Also, can you talk to your Bishop & tell him how you feel?
Would he understand how you feel?
