  1. I guess you could say that! When the LDS church stopped the practice of polygamy, the church branched out and another group formed known as the FLDS that continued the practice. There was also the RLDS that branched off as well and they have the same basics but different practices as well! So yeah, you could probably say FLDS is another type of Mormon.

  2. You're so rad. I'm glad you're one of the people that didn't walk through life relying on what your parents told you. Definetely good taht you're finding out for yourself. I think it's different for everyone as far as "finding out it's true" and I guess I'll do the lame cliche' "you'll know it when you feel it" line...and I assume you've felt it and if you're still unsure, just pray like there's no tomorrow. The surpreme being you talked about likes to answer your questions :) Good luck!

  3. Pfff puhlease. Since when can you do a proof and just claim that something is " a given" like that? That's like saying a pen is the root of all evil and thats a given. SOOO if you can prove that time does in FACT equal money and that money is in FACT the root of all evil I might give this a second thought. ;)

  4. OKAY so...I was a teenager not long ago..as in im only 20 years old right now haha! If my parents sat us all down and had some kind of serious talk with us I would be mortified, but it would be very effective. I'd know that I wasn't going to get away with anything and that everyone was going to be watching me so I'd probably be emberassed and angry and who knows what else but I sure as heck wouldn't make a wrong move with everyone watching :). I have now been married almost 2 years and have a daughter of my own and I hope I never have to deal with the situation you're in. Good luck!!!

  5. Good question! I wouldn't say it's something to talk to your bishop about. Making out happens and you'll know if it crosses the line. Maybe if you're making out all the time to the point where its kind of a base of your relationship then that's an issue. But I don't know! haha. Good luck

  6. I think they're nuts basically haha. They have this huge " It's unconsitutional" defense about the raid on their compound, but since when have THEY ever even followed the law??? Also, if they believe in the Book of Mormon (which they do), I think they missed the part that says " obey the laws of the land." I'm not a fan of them at all. But, I respect the fact that they truly believe they have the true church and that they have felt violated especially with the search in their temple. I would feel sick if the government did that with the LDS temple. So I can see where they're coming from somewhat. However, it doesn't make their religion true or right in any way, so they had it coming.

  7. Hi there. If the church wanted to hide the fact that Patriarchal blessings were in fact rehearsed and the same for everybody:

    1. They would prohibit any kind of talk of personal patraiarchal blessings to any other individual

    2. All the Patriarchal blessings would be incredibly similar.

    Based on the fact that neither 1, nor 2 are true, ( Although we are advised to view the blessings as personal sacred experiences/documents and to choose wisely who you share them with, you are not prohibited to talk about them) I would say that the church is true, you ARE being tested with your Faith, especially if it's eating you alive like this. However, I don't blame you for wondering what the heck that's about.

    Good luck! (PS- this is sunny-fibi )
