How long before he can get the Melchizedek priesthood after baptism? Yes, I'm thinking the boy must have been holding the microphone. That makes sense! I know my husband would find it a bit sad to not be able to even stand up there. Is it true that he could hold the baby then? Or I guess he could hold the mic like the boy did today... Or yes, we could wait but I thought it was a year before a convert could get the Melchizedek priesthood? Thanks for your responses.

This is a very specific question.....theoretical in our case. If my husband and I want to have our baby blessed, but he only holds the Aaronic priesthood (as a recent convert), can he still stand up with the priesthood holders who are taking part in the blessing, lay his hands on the baby, etc? I understand he can't GIVE the blessing but he's wondering if he could stand up and take part. I thought the answer would be 'no' but today at church a teenage boy stood up in the circle with his hands on the little girl (family friend) who was getting confirmed? And he is 12/13 ish so only holds the Aaronic priesthood. Thanks!

I have such a hard time with this doctrine. I try to pretend that it doesn't exist. I've read all of the justifications out there but I still can't wrap my head around it. It seems so wrong to me. I know I'm not alone in this because weren't there some changes to the gospel doctrine manual that makes this concept more vague...and then President Hinckley denied it.... Maybe if I put my fingers in my ears going "lalalala" long enough it will dissapear.

Yeah, I know, and we're the butt of the joke....... I guess I can't decide whether to be offended or find it funny.

I definitely think Orgazmo seemed really offensive. I didn't watch it because I think it's rated NC-17 or something and it would probably really annoy me. The thing I'm concerned with is that they (the creators of South Park) think the whole BOM story sounds so ludicrious and they cannot believe millions of people 'actually' believe it.

Hey everyone, This was just brought to my attention by a friend and I'm not happy about it. The Book of Mormon the Musical It's going to be really mean and offensive. People are raving about it. I worry about how it will skew perceptions of the church. Aargh, these guys make me so mad!!! Why are they always picking on the church?
