Re: Mental Exercise
From my understanding, threat of forced social isolation is a useful evolutionary tool. Useful, not necessarily healthy or good. We are all social creatures that need relationships to survive so the fear of that being purposefully revoked is terrifying because its life ending, in a way. Nowadays it’...

Re: End of YSA SS
DJ, oh I see. I guess I’ve always been in areas with a large enough YSA population to warrant a separate ward.
In my metro area, we’re still keeping SS classes, just every other week that alternates with PH/RS. Unless I misunderstood the announcement...?

Re: End of YSA SS
I thought every ward was going to every other week SS that rotates with PH/RS...? In that regard, both family and singles wards are changing in January. I’ve always found it odd that singles wards tend to put a lot more emphasis on SS classes, but perhaps that’s because we have more free time due to...

Re: The Quest for Constant Joy
My simple answer is I don’t try to keep myself in a constant state of enjoyment. Interestingly, when I’m feeling down and then feel down about feeling down it takes me longer to find gratitude and wonder again. I just recently came out of a really difficult time with regards to work. Nothing was wro...

Re: RS Lesson on Powers of the Priesthood - Help!
Thanks, Curt. I was actually thinking how you've mentioned that other talk several times, and I'm happy to have your lessons on it as well.

RS Lesson on Powers of the Priesthood - Help!
The lesson this week in RS is President Oaks' The Powers of the Priesthood from April's General Men's session. I've read over the talk and looked back at the forum when GC was happening, and I'm still coming up completely blank. I find little in this talk to be inspiring, motivating, or even interes...

Re: Spiritual Anchors
If I repent and am forgiven, and then commit the same sin again, my previous repentance will be revoked. This is one that I held onto for an obscenely long time. It caused my teenage and early 20s self to be wracked with self-worth issues and always wondering "Have I done enough? What counts a...

Re: President Oaks and the Priesthood Restriction
Lawyers are not especially constrained by the truth. Legal cases in some ways are a battle of competing alternate realities. Very good point. In a large sense, lawyers are trying to prove their case (or at least poke a big enough hole in someone else's case), not necessarily adhering to Capital T T...
