  1. A case of true love. She loves his money and he loves you know what she’s got!
  2. Just saw The Longshot. No one else need bother. This is is a Public Service Announcement.
  3. Some of these "bad" movies will survive to be come cult classics. Think Rocky Horror Picture Show. A flop in its day.
  4. I'm a big model train guy and one of my best friends lives in the UK. He wasn't at this show but we both heard about tis on a model train oriented website. Truly senseless.
  5. I think most of them are algeas and amoebas and such. So what.
  6. State of hearts? At some level it’s just business. I dont think God has a lot to do with it.
  7. I know nothing about prices in SLC, but traditionally, the Eastside is the best side.
  8. The Church merely requires its members to be chaste. If that is anti LGBTQ, so be it.
  9. Yes, this is the scripture. Any reasonable intepretation seems to mean that in the absence of the Twelve they have the same authority, just like the Twelve have in the absence of the Quorum of the First Presidency.
  10. Had Hyrum not died when Joseph did, he would have been prophet of the Church. He had the position of First Elder, by which he would have succeeded. It was due to this anomaly that the succession was contested by Rigdon et al. Another fact was that Joseph, in a blessing ostensibl named a son as a successor as well This son went on to lead the RLDS Church we LDS of course, believe that the succession contest was settled in the correct manner.
  11. I'm fairly sure is scriptural in the D&C, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
  12. Hopefully, they are taking separate transportation. Kind of like corporate executives do. If the worst happens, the Quorum of Seventy would hold the keys to the kingdom.
  13. I lived in Utah for three years while attending BYU. Since it's an atypical experience, I won't comment on the culture. But I had to get home to California ASAP because weather!
  14. It's a great gun. I also have the SIG P220 Sport as featured in the original movie REDS. It is a competition gun, not carryable.
  15. The p320 is a modular striker fired pistol. If you don’t know what that means, go buy a Ruger Single Six, and learn about shooting. IMO Sig-Sauer make the best firearms out of the box. I have several, including a P210, generally considered the best military firearm ever made. Glocks are very good in their market niche. Of of course if one is really serious about shooting pistols, Korth is the only way to go!😳
  16. I'm sure there is a lot of doo doo to wade through on these sites. That being said...…….. I know quite a few married couples who met through the internet. A nephew of mine is one of them. He and his wife were at the house last night with their one year old. Delightful family.
  17. Your husband needs to choose. His brother or you. Be be prepared to leave. This early in your marriage,this is a big red flag and deal breaker.
  18. You all realize LBJ married into money, right?😳
  19. I have attended many services that are not LDS. I’m respectful, but don’t recite the Lords Prayer or any creeds with the audience. Why would I parrot something I don’t believe in. Trump did OK.
  20. Well, clearly that’s Cumorah in the background. So yeah, I’ll go with it.
  21. He was likely an ordained priest, following in his fathers footsteps. There are likely some supernatural events omitted from the narrative we have. The Baptist clearly saw his mission in life.
  22. After seven years of broken promises your wife couldn’t take it anymore. You have lost her. Move on. She has.
  23. You clearly have aTestimony of the church IMHO. My daughter was like you and didn’t fit in to her peer group in the church. She is now inactive and married a non member. Dont be her. Go back to church.
  24. Satan, as is his wont did not directly outright lie to Adam and Eve. He knew they wouldn't physically die immediately, he knew that in the garden, they could never become like gods, knowing good and evil. Of course these were half truths. Also he had no access to them in a spiritual sense because he was unable to corrupt their descendants. There could be no descendants. So Eve "eats" the apple. Somehow this transgression transformed her understanding about life and also changed her physically. She communicated this to Adam. The Lord, blocked their access to the tree of life, because had they eaten of that, they likely would have become immortal at that point without chance of repentance. LDS do not refer to Eve's eating the apple as a sin. Satan did not inform them that they would be subject to the second death, which is exclusion from the Lord's presence. But God had a plan to bring them back. They could repent, they could indeed become like the gods, knowing good and evil. And yes, eventually enter into the presence of God again. Even better from God's POV their posterity (which they couldn't have in the garden), would have the same chance Adam and Eve had. So yes, they did deliberately set us up with free agency and the need for redemption. God needed them to enter into a corrupt state so that His children could follow in Adam's footsteps. None of the Saving that goes on could have happened without the Fall of Adam. The LDS don't regard Adam and Eve as sinners. But they did have to transgress God's commands to lead us to our present condition.
  25. Based on the information provided you should end the relationship. Physical attraction is not enough. You are young and will meet many others that can qualify as a good spouse.
