Re: The Spirit World--Who goes where?

Katzpur, after your visit with the Stake President, please report back.
It will be interesting what he has to say.

Article from the SLC Tribune

I found this article to be very interesting. There is no judgement on my part. It is just interesting. The best part of the article is the reaction by President Utchtdorf. He, in my opinion, exhibits the true love of Christ. I hope, I would do the same. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/12/02/tra...

Re: Dating outside of the church - thoughts?

I agree with DJ. I joined the church in an area where there were few members much less single members my age. So, I did date nonmembers. It was interesting and we usually didn't have much in common, so I moved on. I found "M Men & Gleaners". That was the single adults before they chang...

Re: How to deal with bishops who ask extra questions, re. temple recommends

Personally, it depends on the question. If it has to do with worthiness or even the appearance, I wouldn't answer the question.
Fortunately, I haven't been in that situation.

Re: The enigma of Joseph Smith

I also struggle with JS's practical motives. He clearly believed he was a prophet, and put a lot of effort into distributing his religion with the printing of the BoM, his preaching, and all he endured to bring forth the gospel. What are your thoughts on Joseph Smith? Do you believe he was a prophe...

Re: Topics I don't hear at church anymore...

Another connected issue is attendance at church. My own observations are very limited. They are related to my own ward only. I don't participate in any Stake activities including Stake Conference. This past Sunday, I noticed that attendance at Sacrament meeting was reasonably full. Priesthood & ...

Re: The prophet and coffee

Myron, I think there are a lot of us that don't understand why it's wrong. The only conclusion I can come up with is that there are other issues that play into the history of why it was & continue to be forbidden. None of the reason had to do with health issues. For example, political or economi...

Re: Topics I don't hear at church anymore...

Here are a few more... . No Personal Priesthood Interviews (PPI). . No conversation in passing about the families I'm assigned. (Ministry Program). . No discussion or instruction about Priesthood Ordinances anymore. . I have no idea who our Elders Quorum President is. If it wasn't for JS & the B...

Topics I don't hear at church anymore...

There are topics, subjects or teachings I don't hear at church anymore. There has been no announcement that they are important or even valuable. They used to be discussed & taught a lot in the old days. They seem to have quietly disappeared into the night. They include the following: . food stor...
