Heber, I do think you are explaining some of it. But I still have a hard time with some people (leaders in specific) are sometimes so lacking in empathy. I get that being a bishop is insanely hard and most members don't have enough empathy for the stresses of a bishop and his family. I would just as...

A win and we should accept it and stop harping over it. I am also glad that "someone" is hearing the complaints. BUT it is clear that agitation DOES nudge things even if we continually hear "Changes will and should ONLY come from on top." I do dislike those that just like to bash against the leaders...

RagDoll - thanks for sharing your story (even though it pains me) and your findings. You might have something that explains quite a bit about a certain segment. I hope you are able to come to some sort of peace. I feel for you and your kids.

I will third the suggestion to add back "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"

I wish it was included in the seminary program. :) Maybe I could understand what he was saying because he dumbed it down for youthful readers (but heck - I do have a masters). but Like Heber mentioned, I t...

Thanks for sharing that. Well done.

Wow. Polygamy is one of the items I still had not tried to take down off my shelf and digest it. I have made it through a few other items off the shelf that I didn't know I would be able to get through and still stay. With polygamy I am about at a place where the only way I can make it work is that ...

I like that Ann. I just saw the following quote on another blog and I put it down in my favorites. As Bruce Hafen said in the Ensign , We need to develop the capacity to form judgments of our own about the value of ideas, opportunities, or people who may come into our lives. We won’t always have the...

There was another thread "the book of mammon" that started talking about different translations of the bible http://www.staylds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1962&p=23075 , but it seemed like it was odd for me to continue on that thread. I remember on some podcast I listened to a believing LDS indi...
