Re: New garment style
Yeah, I saw that. Seems like a lot of fuss over a shirt sleeve. My wife's been saying the same thing, she had those shorter-sleeved ones years ago.

Re: Keeping a Personal Journal -- Do you do this, and what will you do with it?
It's mostly just a way to vent and process stuff, you know? Keeps my head clear.

Re: Garments and Cremation
Some say the garments are removed before cremation, others say they're cremated with the body. Honestly, I think it's more of a personal choice than a hard and fast rule.

Re: Dressing deceased
For your husband, I think it's perfectly sweet that you want to dress him. It's a loving gesture, and I doubt anyone would object. Just be prepared to explain it gently if asked, emphasizing it's a personal and meaningful choice for both of you.

Re: Keeping a Personal Journal -- Do you do this, and what will you do with it?
I’ve had a journal for years, mostly to help me work through thoughts or just keep track of memories. It’s not something I write in every day, but it definitely helps clear my mind when I need it. As for what happens to it, I’ve thought about that a few times. I guess I’d want to leave some instruct...

Re: Garments and Cremation
From what I've gathered, they usually don't cremate the body with the garments on. In most cases, the clothes are removed beforehand, mainly because some materials don't burn easily or cleanly. I can understand why you'd feel uncomfortable about it; I've felt the same way about certain traditions. B...

Re: Dressing deceased
It sounds like you're both trying to plan ahead in a thoughtful way, which is really important. For the Sunday dress request, since the handbook has specific guidelines about temple clothing, it might be worth checking with your church leaders to make sure your request aligns with those rules. They ...

Re: Been reading the BoM regularly -- effects
It sounds like you're in a bit of a tough spot, wanting to reconnect but not deal with the pressure. If I were you, I'd try easing back in on my terms. You could attend some services without committing to everything right away—just enough to feel things out and see how comfortable you are. As for th...

Re: LDS purchase of Kirtland Temple
That's a pretty big deal, especially with the history tied to places like Kirtland and Nauvoo. I’ve always thought those sites were important for understanding the early days of the church, so it’s interesting to see the LDS Church stepping in to preserve them. It'll be curious to see how they manag...

Re: Utilization of LDS Temples
I think when it comes to building new temples, they definitely look at things like how many members are in the area and whether there's enough demand. It's not just about numbers, though—it's also about where there’s a real need for spiritual support. The Dubai temple is pretty exciting, especially ...
