Re: LDS purchase of Kirtland Temple

In the FAQ they said that the plan was to keep the Kirtland Temple open to the public, a tourist attraction. They also said they were going to build a real temple in Cleveland (about 30 minutes away).

Re: LDS purchase of Kirtland Temple

Interesting. I figured it would happen one day.

Re: Callings you've had or might have or will never have in your life.

And a few more: Don’t refuse an opportunity to serve. Don’t resign from a call. Do inform leaders of changing circumstances in your life, knowing that leaders will weigh all factors when prayerfully considering the proper timing of your release. My brothers and sisters, if you are delinquent in comm...

Re: Callings you've had or might have or will never have in your life.

Why does it seem that the church culture is: you cannot say NO to a calling? Or, you cannot feel guilty when someone asks you to do them a "favor" in their calling? I think the church culture is that way because leaders have set the tone of the culture. I've heard teachings to never decli...
