I had an interesting conversation with a member of my ward the other day. I consider him & his wife to be good friends. They are very conservative & very orthodox. We have had some interesting discussions along the way. We never get upset or angry. They have several children who have gone on FT miss...

In my mind, there are (3) related to the topic of tithing: . Why do we pay it? . How do we pay it? . Is it acceptable to the Lord? The answers to all (3) questions is part of our own spiritual journey. I especially like Curt's answer to why. The How question is different. Is there an official Church...

I'm going to bump this up again. It seems appropriate. Thanks everyone for your posts over the years.

...Will it always be this way ? Will I ever have peace ? I agree with DJ: For me, I think my faith crisis became a faith transition which is ongoing - for several years without a real end in sight. I continue to learn, and I think that's the way it's supposed to be. Peace? Yes, it's possible but yo...

Yesterday was a GREAT sacrament meeting. Three talks & a guitar solo. Everyone stayed within the time limits allowed. I wish I could go into more details. I don't want to "out" members of my ward. Needless to say, I hope this is a sign of better things to come. Maybe the message for me is: they aren...

Wouldn't you like to meet some of these women?
I don't know where they fall on the "belief spectrum", but they are inspirational.

Those are my general thoughts too. I wouldn't talk that way in a F&T meeting however.

AmyJ, what a wonderful lesson. I wish it could be used in a PH class. My wife has been diagnosed with Depression, paranoia & possibly Bipolar for the past 10+ years. If you talked to her at church one on one, you would think "this lady has it (her life) altogether". The professionals treating her ar...

I would like some personal application for the basics of the gospel. For example: - If you have difficulty praying, try doing ... - If you have difficulty forgiving someone who's hurt you, try doing ... - If that doesn't work try "x, y or z". One answer for applying gospel principles, doesn't fit all.
