I found it interesting that under each heading in the article there was a small explanation, and under the "we believe pornography is forbidden", the explanation was much longer. It included this tidbit: "Well-meaning people sometimes pass on rules that don’t exist."

This one's a tough one for me SD. I've been on both ends the issue having had linked trust and forgiveness together, forgiving and being taken advantage of again and again. I've forgiven and not trusted as well. This is where I am today after having been accused of some really nasty things by extend...

I totally get the Star Wars analogy. I similarly associate many things in life, ie Force to the Spirit, midichloridans to the priesthood etc. I thought about Moses as well when I started writing, as well as others. There are so many similarities with other fables. If someone at one time believed tha...

It's a rhetorical question I guess. I've come to the point that I have moved from defending the BoM as historically accurate and how I used to try to fit the lands into existing maps, to a general agnosticism. Is it possible that there were these people that came from the old world to the new? Sure....

Roy, your DD is very astute. She will do great in life. My youngest hates public speaking but makes it through it, in one sense I hate pushing him to speak, and the other I think it helps him (he's socially awkward like his dad). I've never had additional questions nor interpretations during the TR ...

I don't have a problem with it. I grew up around alcohol and yes there are concerns about addiction in my family, but fortunately I never liked the hard stuff. Beer on the other hand... I brew my own home brew and burn off (most of) the alcohol. I also don't really have a problem with Non-alcoholic ...

I was frank with my children (most now grown) about bishops interviews when they were younger. There was one bishop I was concerned might be 'overzealous' in his questions. I certainly don't think a bishop should ask direct questions about masterbation or porn, I've heard too many shady stories. For...

However, our Sunday School was very well attended. I'm not sure if it was because there was less motivation for loitering in the halls (which many of our members do) ... I miss my foyer class :( lol It was one of my only downtime social outlets. We also meet with another ward in the same building, ...

The first time I attended the temple I asked my bishop in the celestial room if all this was received by JS. He answered that it was, it could be that he didn't know, or didn't want to open up an hour long discussion on changes. He probably didn't know. I think these are positive changes. My DW and ...

I've read Stonehenge Decoded by Gerald Hawkins, fantastic book if anyone is interested. He put all of the alignments of the stones into a computer and found many more seasonal alignments, such as the 19 year cycle of the moon, all in Stonehenges alignments. I recommend it if anyone is interested in ...
