  1. Perhaps I may be wrong, but I believe someone has to be the adult in this situation. That being your Dad. He had the power as an adult to thwart any advances that your young hormonal friend may have. He simply could have said no. He too has the power over the household to ask her to leave. Instead he did neither. While I don't excuse your friends behavior either, she simply needs to leave the home. She violated the sanctity of the home and your family by her behavior. You are assuming that she enticed your father, when it may be that he enticed her. I would suggest meeting with your mom and dad jointly and telling your mom just what is going on and that you believe it is their responsiblity to take the appropriate action with her. Bottom Line Your dad was the adult and had complete control of the situation and could have stopped it long before it happened.
  2. Not to mention that no trees were cut down when sending these alerts.
  3. Bureacracy equates to "no common sense". Have people forgot how to think?

  6. Good Idea. I will immediatly hold a séance with Jimmy Hoffa:eek: lilered aka: lilhoffa:D

  8. I have decided to picket LDS Mormon Forum H.Q.s starting tomorrow. At 6:00 am CST I will be walking in front of their H.Q. Bldg. with the following sign. New Rule Change Sucks! (While singing "We shall overcome"
  9. I agree, raise her up properly and then let her make her decisions and/or mistakes. That means being supportive as well as letting her take the responsiblity if something goes amuck. That is the real hard part. It is much easier on us if we try to rush into make things better. If you do then you are really enabling her to continue that behavior without consequence. She learns nothing. Good luck
  10. Yes Pam, I think your right, however I am not sure that God will allow man to destroy the earth completly.
  11. For me there is a larger question? Will God allow man to destroy the earth?
  12. At least that would be better than Richard Hatch wearing nothing!! Gag, Gag,
  13. Romneys creditials are impressive to me, however I have to agree with Beck in that Romney does not come across as him having fire in his belly, nor do I believe he has portrayed himself as being personable, likeable, or understanding of the everyday problems that face most Americans. It seemed to me during his last try, he wasn't very effective at selling himself nor showing a warmer side. I certaintly don't think Beck has hurt the Image of Mormonism, but I am not quite sure I would laud that much praise suffiecently to indicate he single handly has helpedl helped Romney the most.
  14. I want to set the record straight for all you girlie men, that are afraid of your wife. I personally love wearing the pants, that my wife picks out for me.
  15. CnatStrainer.I have posted again for reference: The Church Welfare Plan describes a consecrated person as one who does not seek for worldly riches; who esteems his brother as himself; who, through tithes and offerings, helps to build up the Kingdom of God by caring for the temporal needs of those General Authorities whom God has called into full-time service; who makes his worldly goods available, over and above his family’s necessities, for the Lord’s work; and who, with his time, talents and means, takes care of the temporally and spiritually poor. Quoting the Church Welfare Plan, Bruce R. McConkie wrote, Please note the part about "over and above his family's necessities". The Lord doesn't expect us to foresake our families in lieu of assisting the poor, needy, etc. However, remember the Law of Sacrifice as well as Gods blessings for keeping our covenants. We also can give of our talents, time, etc. to meet requirements of being a Concencrated Person. If you have been through the Temple, think about certain covenants you make. :)
  16. Just to make sure we are both saying the same thing. The repentance process for those in spirit prison has to take place before they are welcomed into Paradise. This then allows them (providing they meet certain other requirements), to proceed.
  17. When the physical body dies, the spirit continues to live. In the spirit world, the spirits of the righteous "are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow" (Alma 40:12). A place called spirit prison is reserved for "those who [have] died in their sins, without a knowledge of the truth, or in transgression, having rejected the prophets" (D&C 138:32). The spirits in prison are "taught faith in God, repentance from sin, vicarious baptism for the remission of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands, and all other principles of the gospel that [are] necessary for them to know" (D&C 138:33–34). If they accept the principles of the gospel, repent of their sins, and accept ordinances performed in their behalf in temples, they will be welcomed into paradise. Because of the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, physical death is only temporary: "As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:22). Everyone will be resurrected, meaning that every person's spirit will be reunited with his or her body—"restored to their proper and perfect frame" and no longer subject to death (Alma 40:23; see also Alma 11:44–45). Hope this helps answer your questions.
  18. Please don't feel that way. Remember tithing is between you and the Lord. If your doing the best that you can, then so be it. Sometimes on a forum such as this it is difficult and really impossible to judge the posters true intentions by just reading a few lines they have posted. As in General Life, there are always a few who believe they are ready for transfiguration but simply have been allowed to tarry a bit longer just as examples. Kinda of legends in their own mind.
  19. The Law We Must Live to Achieve the Celestial Kingdom President Ezra Taft Benson said, “The law of consecration is a law for an inheritance in the celestial kingdom. God, the Eternal Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and all holy beings abide by this law. It is an eternal law.” People whose lives are consecrated to the Lord “set their hearts on righteousness and having actually put first in their lives the things of God’s kingdom.” The Church Welfare Plan describes a consecrated person as one who does not seek for worldly riches; who esteems his brother as himself; who, through tithes and offerings, helps to build up the Kingdom of God by caring for the temporal needs of those General Authorities whom God has called into full-time service; who makes his worldly goods available, over and above his family’s necessities, for the Lord’s work; and who, with his time, talents and means, takes care of the temporally and spiritually poor. Quoting the Church Welfare Plan, Bruce R. McConkie wrote, “The practice of the law of consecration is inextricably intertwined with the development of the attributes of godliness in this life and the attainment of eternal life in the world to come. ‘The law pertaining to material aid is so formulated that the carrying of it out necessitates practices calculated to root out human traits not in harmony with requirements for living in the celestial kingdom and replacing those inharmonious traits with the virtues and character essential to life in that abode.’ (Bowen, The Church Welfare Plan, p. 13).” bold added
  20. She may be a beautiful example of the Lords healing power! "He says she has talked about serving a mission her whole life. " I am so proud of her to be able to accomplish a lifes goal, after going through just a terrible challenge and ordeal in her young life.
  21. ;Hemi: Therein lies the answer and I am in total agreement. Folks sometimes get into splitting hairs with the Lords money. When the right answer is simply live up to the Temple Covenants you have already made. Practice the Law of Consecration and the worries are over.
  22. I understand your point, however part of the learning and understanding process is listening to several points of view (diversity), studying, and meditating, along with prayer a particuliar principle. What I think often happens, is that during the posting process, many of us tend to drift further from doctorinal teachings, or scripture, and respond based on personal expierence or personal views. But in fact they alsve a responsiblity to study for themselves before making their mind up. Keep in mind that our own church teachs us to listen to the spirit when discerning truth.
  23. Welcome to the site. I hope we never run into each other by accident! :^)
  24. If one pays on simply the net amount of their income, it is possible they may not be paying a full tithing. This is how it could happen. If one were working a place of business where they were allowed to buy merchandise and have it deducted from their paycheck? EG: Dillards, Autoparts,etc.. They would in fact not be paying tithing on those items that were purchased thru payroll deduction. The same could be true for 401k deductions or other similiar retirement or savings plans.
