I appreciate the insight expressed here about Elder Hollands talk. I really tried hard to not let any of my struggle with defensiveness get in the way of my REALLY hearing and listening to his witness in this talk. I'm perfectly okay with the testimony that he bore but I did feel a lot of disdain fo...

Thanks for that more positive overview of Elder Oaks' talk. I have REALLY been struggling with that one and headed to trusty old stay lds this morning in hopes that someone wiser and more positive than I had something to say about it!!

After learning of my husbands newfound atheism (and almost anti-religious beliefs) and then struggling with my own beliefs I ...

Just me- Thanks for this reply. I love what you said about wheat and tares BOTH being within the church. I've never thought of it this way. I really like this interpretation;) When reading the scripture from Nephi it felt very familiar to me...all things that you could find within the church! Defini...

I know there is a little bit about this in the bible about a general following away from Christianity or maybe it's referring to the gr...
