[Can LDS members read non-Mormon literarure?]

I love to read a lot of books. I love the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hamadi Library, the Apocrypha, Rough Stone Rolling, Walking the Bible by Bruce Feiler, The Gold of Exodus, pseudepigrapha of the Old and New Testaments, Strong's Concordance, Ernest Hemingway, etc.

[Dying testimonies. How tragic.]

Frankly, I don't like the way the original person who started this post gave the lame excuse of Mark Peterson being a product of his time. Patootey. I thought Peter said in the Book of Acts that God is no respector of persons. African Americans and others weren't given the priesthood until 1978. I darn well remember also that women were banned from giving prayers in Sacrament Meeting from 1969 until 1978 due to the feminist movement.

[Couple leaves fate of unborn child to the internet.]

I was appalled at all the votes for an abortion. The voting is closed but I would've voted for her to have the baby.

It is between the couple and the Lord. I only had two kids because that was all I was able to have due to some health problems.:)

[Time for a new book!!]

I'd go with the Continuous Atonement

[Fasting for over 24 hours?]

I can't fast for health reasons, but I do give a fast offering and I'm sure that's acceptable to the lord.

[Endowment]

I got my own endowments when I was 25 and established in my CAREER.:)

[Tithing: Pre-tax or After tax? Gross v. Net?]

I feel tithing is between you and the Lord. I like what joseph Smith said, "I teach them correct princopals AND THEY GOVERN THEMSELVES." It is not meet that we should be commanded in all things.

[What is your favorite temple?]

Washington, D. C., hands down.

[Too Much Scripture Study?]

Moderation in all things is how I do it.

[New discovery may require genisis to be rewriten]

Hugh Nibley did an article once and said that there were humans before Adam. Smacks Joseph Fielding Smith right in the face. :-)

[Hello from Virginia]

Right on! A WORKING MOTHER! I grew up in Virginia and miss it so much!

[A Transplanted Texan]

Hi there, fellow BYU grad. I am a woman and graduated from there a while back too and and glad for it, too. The education I got was phenomenal!

[Why am i a liberal l.d.s?]

Right on! I am a Regan Democrat myself. I would call myself a Liberal Republican, but that isn't acceptable!
