In front of primary children would never have a positive. I'm sorry that happened in your ward.

I can also open the scriptures and read where Jesus cleansed the temple. There are times in life when a bully has to be confronted. At least one teen came away with "Brother _______ sure loves his wife". Kids aren't in a bubble. They watch adults. I'm sure they have watched the sister who has been behaving badly to everyone. So what would you have them learn? Its ok to never stand up for yourself or those you love? Its ok to allow a bully to continue to hurt people? These are rhetorical questions. We have all agreed that the time and place was unfortunate.

The reason it is important to know is this sort of thing has happened before. It will happen again unless people stand up and stay NO!

What comes to mind is that the Holy Ghost will Never, Ever tell us to do something which is a sin. Adultery is a sin.

I agree Windseeker. My parents are currently working for the Church and they have their share of troubles. They have had several managers over the years and one manager had a family member who wanted my parents job. Boy, were those rough years. People are people even when they are employed by the Church.

You might find out down the road that many are silently applauding your husband for standing up to the bully. I agree with Ben. Don't coddle the teens. It might do them good to see someone stand up to the bully. But your husband is doing the right thing in apologizing for his outburst during class time.

PC, I've wondered the same thing.

Christ being perfect doesn't make him less human to me. Just the opposite. He was perfect despite all the struggles we have as human beings and therefore I have hope that some day I can be perfect too.

I know about the app but its not available for my phone.

First, Patriarchal blessings aren't fortune telling. They are a statement of blessings you can qualify for IF you live worthily. The blessing can provide direction for your life. Priesthood blessings also include comfort blessings and healing blessings cover more than just illness. Priesthood blessings include Father's Blessings for their children. Many Priesthood bearing fathers give their children blessings at the beginning of each school year as well as at other times. Even blessings for direction are appropriate. We do not have "specific" blessings or wording for specific things. So asking for a blessing to make you more appealing to a specific woman will probably not get the response you want. As baptized and confirmed members of the church we are entitled to inspiration from the Holy Ghost. If you want to know if a specific woman is the right one for you, get on your knees and ask Heavenly Father. He will answer, but he won't tell you "Yup! she's the one and only." What you will get is more along the lines of "yes that could work out if you both put forth the required effort in the relationship." We have our agency and Heavenly Father will not infringe on it especially where our choice of spouse is concerned. Have you spoken with your priesthood leaders about the priesthood and specifically about your questions? I would think this would be a good discussion for Priesthood meeting or maybe a one-on-one interview with your Elder's Quorum President.

No Sir!

Is anything ever really done?

Are the dishes done yet?

Yes M'am!

Maybe we need a common definition of "nag" and "nagging". Years ago my oldest son, then a teenager, told me to quit nagging him. My response was do what I ask the first time and I won't ask again. To him insisting he clean his room was nagging. Needless to say we had a Discussion. He left the discussion feeling nagged and he cleaned his room. So... is asking more than once or twice nagging? I would say to some men it is. I'll go a step further and say to some men a woman asking anything is nagging. Obviously my mood about this subject has changed with a good nights sleep. Edit: nag [nag] Show IPA verb, nagged, nag·ging, noun verb (used with object) 1. to annoy by persistent faultfinding, complaints, or demands. 2. to keep in a state of troubled awareness or anxiety, as a recurrent pain or problem: She had certain misgivings that nagged her. verb (used without object) 3. to find fault or complain in an irritating, wearisome, or relentless manner (often followed by at ): If they start nagging at each other, I'm going home. 4. to cause pain, discomfort, distress, depression, etc. (often followed by at ): This headache has been nagging at me all day. Since irritating, wearisome or relentless are all subjective feelings for the one feeling nagged. This issue still comes down to asking more than once can be considered nagging.

Act responsibly always? Treat others as you would like to be treated?

Wasn't it lots of ??????????????????????????????????????

I only made it through 3 paragraphs of the article. I have not read through this thread. My viewpoint on the subject of nagging wives is: A wife will have no need to nag if a husband doesn't ignore her requests. :) There are women who nag but judging all women because some women nag is just as bad as judging all men as irresponsible because some are. I felt the sermon was inappropriate based on the little bit I read... which wasn't much. I probably should have just closed this thread and read it tomorrow. I was definitely NOT in the mood to read someone bashing women.

The comment that made me very uncomfortable was on his website. I will see if I can find it later tonight, but I think it was referenced on the other thread.

I'm so sorry. Once through probate is stressful enough. I hope things go smoothly and that you're able to find a good attorney in AZ. I also hope your BIL will wake up and clean up his life. Prison can help sometimes if the person is willing to change. I'm helping my cousin's daughter go through the process of getting guardianship of her mother and probate since her Dad died a month or so ago. Its been very stressful. I'm thankful we were able to find her a good attorney.

There have been discussion about Denver Snuffer, his books, website, etc. If you do a search of the forums you'll find the threads and get a pretty good idea of how most of us feel one way or another. As for me, I won't read his books because he places himself above the Prophet.

Agree or not. The Ensign article is just one place where a civil marriage ceremony AFTER a Temple wedding/sealing is strongly discouraged. Do your own search. The GAs of the church have said it detracts from the spirit of the temple to have a civil ceremony afterwards. I agree we should pray about the best way to handle these big decisions. But when we have counsel from the church regarding an issue for me the decision becomes very easy to make, even when its a hard choice.

As LDS members we have been strongly counseled to not do this as it can detract from the importance of the sealing ceremony. I think this exact thing has been discussed here at lds.net before. Addition: Planning Your Temple Wedding - New Era Oct. 2004 - new-era

Can we read the "really good rant" in a private message?

I had an overnight date planned for this Friday. It didn't work out. We put our grandson's needs first and our son/his dad doesn't. However, this time I'd rather Daddy was out finding an appropriate mother-figure so I'll forgo my date plans this time. :) We'll be including our grandson on any date that happens this friday night. Wingnut, I like the year-of-dates idea. :)
