We can make decisions that blow-up spectacularly. We all have a few doozies. But hopefully we can own our decisions and our privilege of self-determination. Church leaders need to staff the church. Sometimes they will say what they need to say in order to do so. When DW was pregnant and called into...

First off I need to say you all are amazing and you deserve to hear it from me. I read your replies weeks ago but I just can't quite figure myself out. I go back and forth from feeling lame and weak for allowing myself to be compelled, to a feeling of being taken advantage of my "reactivated" situat...

Waking up this morning after a restless night I was able to feel some calm thanks to the words from you guys. I have feelings I can't quite turn into thoughts which can be expressed but often I read them here. Some smart people here or at least talented at putting together meaningful responses. Than...

"Education is a Comandment..." Except when the church has their own plans for you. https://blog.pathwaynewsroom.org/2018/04/general-authorities-education/?cid=FB_08-07-2019_BYUPW_SEPT19-Enroll_general-authorities-education&fbclid=IwAR3pvN_R2NJ3Iw6S6Y2nQdSNiZOK_pG1Suy2jNOTe6BSORh-JDmScsG8K44 This sho...

Exactly.

When the Sabbath becomes more important than people, it has lost its meaning. The same is true of the garment. It should serve us; we shouldn't be burdened by legalistic rules about its use. "Wear it throughout your life, and don't defile it," is good enough.

My gosh, the information I get here is so insightful, or maybe I'm so isolated that I just don't find reasonable input from anywhere else. The new posts this morning were especially helpful. And it's not that I am being changed by anyone's opinions I'm just able to see myself and my own thoughts cle...

All good comments, thank you. Interesting how the words every day and every night got in there, I have suffered from severe heat rashes due to sweat and garments sticking to my skin in the shop at work and I feel confused about not taking your shirt off in the yard. There are things I just would not...

I apologize for bringing this up here again, I know this topic is discussed over and over and it's like asking what is the best oil to use in a motorcycle discussion group, it's heard all too often and there are as many view points as there are responses. But I'm at a critical point with this. I had...

...When or if we have another discussion with a different bishop it could be hard and it could cause us to leave. We will get there when/if it happens. Proceed with caution. I don't feel real confident in our bishop's understanding, I guess that's why I have been putting off having a talk. Doesn't ...

I haven't been able to pray sincerely for a couple years now. I can get started and get thru a prayer but it feels like I am not communicating with anybody and quite often indolent finish. Is my faith crisis affecting my prayers or is my lack of sincere prayer affecting my faith. Makes me think I do...
