  1. Is there sessions or time slots where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir can be heard on here?:cool:
  2. How about the Constitutional Party AKA the former US Taxpayers Party?
  3. Excuse me for my ignorance, but what is "Institute"?
  4. Hi folks! I'm thinking about traveling to Nauvoo and exploring it around Memorial Day weekend. Thinking about driving my car there, but it's about 400 miles from me. Would renting a car be bettter for me? Going by train or air? Does anyone have any advise for me? What is the best hotel? What way is best to get around the town there, by bike or car? Other than the Temple there, what are some of the sites that would be good to see? I'm excited to go there and check it out!
  5. Grand Rapids. Tried looking at the LDS site, but didn't see any around the age of 40.
  6. Are there any SA or YSA Wards in MI? Are there strict guidelines on the ages of ward members? I feel more comfortable in a singles setting, since I'm single. Plus, I fond out that any singles group, especially in the non-Mormon churches, that has more activities for singles. Thanks!:)
  7. Are all three members of the Godhead a tri-unity or a Trinity as the other churches believe?:confused:
  8. Is it required once you become a member of the church that you have to participate in the temple rituals? Are they related to the Book of Mormon and the Sacraments? Can someone describe what to expect when they go to a temple? Finally, does one have to go to the temple located in your stake to do these things or can they be performed in any temple if your a member in good standing? Thanks for helping me clear up my confusion! :)
  9. Once a person accepts Christ and the teachings of the Church along with baptism, what areas does that person serve? Is it by spiritual gifts or by the need with in the Church? Does the new member have the option of where they would like to serve, with the leading of the Holy Spirit? Thank you for any answers!
  10. Has anyone ever seen Green Jello art? You have to be incredibly fast to nail it up on a wall! I guess that is why there is no Green Jello art.
  11. How far back do I have to research my ancestors to baptise for them?
  12. How does the LDS church stand on Contemporary Christian Music? Is it ok for a person to listen to it? Plus how do Mormons feel about Praise and Worship songs? Are they ok to sing and listen to after these outside of the Sacrament meeting? Thanks!
  13. Doesn't the D&C state that the Sacrament should be done in meekness and humility? Is that why it is ( Pardon the expression.) "low-key"? However, I have been in a choir and do some solos also. It's a gift from God to me. When the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings on tv, I enjoy every minute of it. I found that out my second week. I wondered why there was just nothing more that testimonies the first week I went ( It was also the first week of the month.) I understand fully. I used to go to a Full Gospel church that has the "health and wealth" message in it. Now were is such a thing in the Bible?
  14. No. Not yet. Have been talking to the local missionaries and one of the older members of the local ward/branch. Haven't gone through the lessons yet, still investigating. Just was wondering once a person becomes a Mormon how their Evangelical or Catholic families felt about it. Just trying to understand the aspects it has on a non-Mormon family.Thanks for most of you testimonies and keep giving me advise!
  15. How about those Red Wings and St. Louis Blues fights? Or the antics of Bill Laimbeer , Alan Irvason and Bob Knight on court? What model sportsmans like conduct. That's even better than watching boxing. Has there been a few altercations with in NASCAR in the past few years also, where punches were exchanged?
  16. Dale Jr. is seriously moving up fast.... .
  17. This book here has help me immensely:The Bible Cure for Allergies By Don Colbert. I've followed all his recommendations: Vacuuming the house daily, getting a good air filter (Honeywell HEPA type.) and supplements (Check with your doctor first before taking any.) Hopefully this can be a blessing, it is worth the money to buy this booklet!:)
  18. It's NASCAR Season again! Can't wait for the Indy 500, it's a lot closer to me! Here is the updates on their site: NASCAR Daytona 500 Leaderboard
  19. Please let me explain the situation: In my family there are several Evangelical Christians and a few Catholics. If I get baptized in to the church, how can I relate to them about what Christ says to me in the Book of Mormon?
  20. Not to stir up controversy but what is the Difference between the Utah (LDS) Church and the Reorganized LDS (Community of Christ)? Is it liturgy, ordinances and doctrine?
  21. Since I came from a Calvinist background, I do miss a sermon. Is that why there is Sunday School? Wished there was more singing though. Enjoy worship and hymns. Is there ever contemporary worship in any church? Some of the praise songs today speak as well as most of the hymns, besides I don't have anything against guitars either.:cool: Doesn't Psalm 150 encourage this?
  22. Just did order one and also looking at the materials online. Thanks!:) They gave me a copy of "Gospel Principals" after a Sunday School class. Now that is a quite interesting book! Learned what "Agency" is also, it is something like free will.:cool: First time I have ever heard of "Preexistence" too.
  23. Why does the church baptize for the dead? Haven't the dead already made their decisions in their lifetime? How can one who has departed make any kind of decision if "it is appointed for man to die once and them judgement" (Hebrews 9:27)?
