Have you ever tried to apologize in writing? The few times I've done it, it worked out well.
I usually included whether I would like to hear from them again or not.

I had an inspiring conversation at church today. It was a complete surprise. I'm not going to gives a lot of specifics regarding where it happened & who was involved.

I'm curious what other members of the board finds inspiring. What draws you closest to Jesus Christ & his teachings? It can be doctrinal from the scriptures, talks at church, general conference & books or interviews. It can be personal talks or experiences with friends or family. Maybe it's ...

Over the years there have been a number of pictures that have been reported to present Joseph Smith Jr. Many have very convincing background stories. Do a google search & look under "Images". For me it would be interesting to see a real image of JS. It wouldn't change anything for me. ...

It seems to me, based upon what everyone is saying is, there are difference types of "sifting". There is (3) categories: - "self sifting" where members fall away or just leave of their own free will. - there is another type of "sifting" where it is thrust upon you. eg. ...

Anybody hearing rumblings that a “sifting” is coming? Willhewonder, how do you define "sifting"? The reason I ask is, there is not much in the scriptures or general conference talks about this subject. This is one General Conference talk, for example. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/s...
