I was lucky in this. I married someone from a foreign country. Only occasionally saw my in laws. We got along great!

I have no idea where you live. But a lot of this is regional. Cola drinks are top sellers in the US.

IMNSHO, we should act as if He’s coming tomorrow.

Not sure about temple rules. It would seem to me that any confirmation done by a Melchizedek priesthood holder would be valid. On the other hand, if one is not endowed, access to many parts of the temple would be limited. Likely you should not have been allowed in the confirmation area, even though in our local temple here, it’s just another room near the baptistery. Maybe a technicality?

Be straight up. This is a minor problem that won’t preclude you from a mission experience.

Not to mention artichoke hearts and olives. Sorry I couldn’t answer the poll, as none of the ingredients are my favorites.

Th3 short answer is yes. One must accept the Saviours name of course as a condition of baptism Unless SS you are a murderer.

If he will change his habits because you want him to, use that to your advantage. Glad to read you latest post. Hopefully, you can keep it all together for the children Alcoholism is to some degree hereditary, so be careful of that aspect of his “reformation “. Alcoholics get real good at hiding their habit. Good luck!

Why is the garment question even part of the temple interview. Is it truly the Bishops or anyone else’s business?

Catholics are generally very tolerant of other Christian religions. Remember it started as the true church. The doctrine is fairly close to ours. I wouldnt look look for problems where there may be none.

The Golden Rule: Do unto others, before they do unto you.😉

The National Health Service of the U.K. dispenses “free” health care in that country. It is a big political football. One of my best friend’s wife just sold her business there. Her business? Health insurance. So if one really wants decent health care in Britain, one pays to a private system. There is a reason for that.......

Good for you!

Dump this choking loser...You can obviously do much betterIMHO.

Socialism always has good intentions. See where it leads in every case, so far.

The prophets of the current generation are only infallible when they speak ex cathedra. Those sayings are found in the Doctrine and Covenants.

I had no idea that one could buy a new car for $12.5K as recently as 2015. You are to be congratulated.

Can’t believe three pages about a hypothetical that will never happen.🤡

Jmom Seems like you have a fairly normal marriage with similar problems to most people. I don’t believe, given the circumstances of your situation, that you will find the grass any greener by leaving the marriage. It does no appear unsalvageable. You have a child, and the child’s welfare should be your main focus. For both of you. God would want the child raised in an LDS home as far as possible. And it does seem possible. Your husband has joined the church, so he has/is making some effort. You should meet him halfway. Try going back to counseling

I would never own a car that I could not trust to take me across the US if necessary at a moments notice. If your car will not do this, get rid of it.

She should discontinue the relationship and tell the guy in no uncertain terms (preferably written) to stop the harassment. If he continues his behavior, call the cops or try a restraining order. This would apply to anyone. If she is a minor, she should call the police. Other than that, since this relationship is not work or ecclesiastically related, she should do nothing else. If she really wants to be vindictive, tell the guy's wife.

In my experience so many people fib about tithing it's almost the norm. I do tax returns. I don't do a lot of Mormons, but most of the ones that I do don't do 10%. But that's MY definition. There may be a lot of mitigating circumstances in their lives I know nothing about. Some do over 10%. Of course this is a very super small sample size. Remember the Church is for the sick (sinners). And they killed the last Perfect Man.

Apple invented the Smart phone, and IMHO it's still the best. Security is a little more refined. More Apps are available. Steve Jobs daily weather report is accurate.

You are active by the Church’s own definition. Dont let the naysayers of this forum discourage you. Your activity will increase gradually as you start taking your children to their classes. The very fact that you are trying is enough. The idea that you are becoming unworthy is from Satan. You are making progress , keep the faith.

WOW needs an update. The coffee and tea thing needs to go away. Totally obsolete. There are a lot of recent studies extolling the virtues of coffee and even Consumer Reports expounded on its benefits recently. Tea has also been found to be beneficial Kind of like the reasons for keeping Kosher are no longer valid, we need a new revelation IMNSHO.
