It is puzzling to me. I would like one, who is active in this, to explain how they believe the church is run by Jesus yet they feel its ok to tell Him what to do.

I dont know what to tell you except that a lot of men are like that. Only thing I can think of is to maybe take time when he is relaxed and just cuddle. Watching tv maybe. Its not personal attention but it might help with the physical need for comfort and touching. I bet there is a book out there that people can recommend to help you out. I seem to recall at least one that is recommended often on here.

My feeling is the fracking will trigger the New Madrid earthquake which because of the solid rock base on the east side of the Mississippi will trigger the east coast into an earthquake which is rare there but not unknown. The pipelines and traffic lanes crossing the Mississippi will collapse causing massive transportation of goods blockages along with contaminating the river and gulf. Our attention will be on our own disasters which will give the antiIsrael people the idea that it would be a good time to attack and destroy Israel which will trigger the final war. It will take very little time to have everything collapse. Is that what you wanted?

Most of them seem to think Obama is the AntiChrist and will bring about Armaggedon. Armaggedon and all it entails like having to have a stockpile of guns and bullets to fight off the marauding bandits and pillagers. I do not disagree with things going to pot but its more likely to be related our lack of faith in God and following His commandments not some bogyman. There will be many antichrists and it seems like we have them running around saying 'the sky is falling! the sky is falling', triggering a lot of crazy paranoia.

I do not understand why people back off from the King Folletts Discourse. It is doctrine as far as I am concerned. Admittedly it is out of the usual for Christian doctrine but it is at the foundation of the churches Plan of Salvation. We are all going to get pretty crowded up there in one house. Or three. If we are to be as God, we have to have the same access to materials He has.

How reluctant is he to leave you for two years?

I love jello! Especially green with peach as a close second! And I like it with carrots and even salad dressing mayonnaise!!

What does that mean? Anyhow everyone uses spell check now. Of course you have to phonetically spell it first then find the real spelling with spell check!

For scriptures the quad is very nice but it is very thick and heavy. I prefer a triple and the bible separate. Actually I prefer my app on my Nook.

I am positive that there are more who do believe than are counted. It really makes no difference however. When I was young there were less than a million total.

Then we have to define inactive. Inactivity is not necessarily the same as non believing. My husband and I are 'inactive' due to health issues. Others are inactive because they work during services.

You are flipped too, Addenex! I think you are right, Pam. Laughing is good for the soul!!

Look at my stats. Mine are reversed. Seriously no one thinks I am funny!! I have to go find some good jokes now. hmmm. Darn you, Vort!

hmm laugh rate. I do not understand those. Except no one thinks I am funny!!!!

I would say you are in danger with what you are doing. Are you planning on going on a mission? Are you planning on getting married soon? Consider what you are planning and unless you are planning on getting married soon it would be better to keep hands off. Especially out of clothing. Are you spending a lot of time alone with your girlfriend? Public areas where you wont be tempted would be better.

Why wouldnt you assume he had prayed about it? People dont always talk about that kind of thing. He may be more interested in your reaction than whether he called the right person.

It sounds like a lot of murmuring going on. Maybe its a test of the members in the ward and they are not doing so good. It seems odd to me that people are discussing how they didnt feel the spirit confirming the bishops calling. If its not there then its something those people need to work on, not the bishop. Saying I support him is not the same as not murmuring. I support him even though I doubt he is called? Doesnt make a lot of sense. How is discussing the lack of confirmation with others not murmuring? A long time ago we had a new bishop called. I dont remember who it was but I know that a LOT of people, including the family of a man in the ward and the man himself, thought he was going to be called, not the man actually called. Why I have no idea. He was just a ward member, not anyone with a halo hanging over him. There was murmuring for quite awhile. It was disturbing to me even as a teenager. There was a certain lack of spirit in the ward for awhile but whose fault was it? Another time a person was called and we heard the woman in front of us tell her husband that he would have been a much better choice. Fortunately the husband was embarrassed and denied that to her. Our job as ward members is to support the bishop by word and deed. Discussing his perceived shortcomings isnt doing that.

Sometimes people misunderstand humor. I would have to think about my actions if someone thought I was not a believing LDS person but that is what you are doing. Its probably a good thing for anyone to do on occasion. Some people think I am not because I am liberal. It makes me consider and evaluate. One thing you might do is clear it up in a casual way with her.

Happy Birthday! Glad you had a great day!!

They dont anymore?

In the end the real way to get change is to ask God about it then pray for His will to be done. If He provides you or someone else with the opportunity to bring it up then fine. Otherwise, we have a direct line to God's ear and if He agrees with you then a way will be found as He wills. Our part is to listen and be ready to do GOD'S will not our own. I remember we had a conversation on this a few months ago on here.

Is there a time when God and our spiritual Mother enter middle age and no longer bear children? Considering eternity is an awfully long time it seems unlikely. Good thing we dont need to know these things in this lifetime. It could get very confusing.

Being able and doing are not always the same thing. He GAVE us free agency. He could take it back. He wont because He is not only omnipotent, He is perfect.

That does makes sense. He did say apples and oranges but yes Bananas = Chavez Oranges are near tropical though so not a bad match!

Pro Chavez = Oranges Anti Chavez = Apples ?
