  1. You read way too much into my short post Vort. :) However, one thing I know is that I will not be going back and forth about it eh...
  2. Really? I could point out a whole bunch of posts and threads...
  3. Yes. My reference was meant to be taken as comical.
  4. And...he was quick to say it was Eve who made him do it (eat the fruit).
  5. Big boobs won't prevent you from seeing the heart of a woman eh....
  6. Yeah....men love flat chested women. Offtopic: Did you see your smilie? http://www.lds.net/forums/general-discussion/41294-emoticon-game-6.html
  7. Liars, specially if they are men saying it.
  8. Oh I don't know your personal situation, I didn't know he is going through an addiction, my reply was simply based on what you wrote. Like I said, it seems like you are both very stressed and kids that young can stress you out even more! Do you have anyone who can watch them a couple of days a week for an hour so you can go out with your husband alone and have dinner or watch a movie? Having said that, he also needs to understand that those are HIS KIDS as well and BOTH of you should help out.
  9. Just curious since I don't have the Handbook. Is Church activity a requirement for someone to get financial help from the Church?
  10. Oh, it seems like there are more issues than just this orientation problem. How exactly is your fault because he masturbated?
  11. Jane, I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. Did you go to this orientation hoping your husband will help you out with the kids? It seems to me his mind was in school and he wanted to be by himself yet it seems to me that you pushed yourself, going out with two very young kids and then expect him to solve it? Now, before I get beaten let me say that his behavior towards you or the children is not justified in the least however, it seems to me (based on what you are saying) that he made clear he didn't want you and the kids going out with him at his orientation because he suspected something like that would happen but you dismissed his concern and said you would handle it but then got angry when he didn't help? I know that you probably want to go out and do things of course!... When kids are that young parents feel house-bounded many times and yet it is a challenge we all go through at some point but this too shall pass... It seems like you guys are under a lot of stress and having young kids adds to that stress. Are you all receiving counseling?
  12. Yep, and that's why I quoted in my last post the General Handbook of Instructions.
  13. Do we know that as fact? (that his knowledge didn't come from a vision?) The reason I ask is because even though I have no doubt that Joseph indeed had access and possibly read the Acts of Paul and Thecla, this source seems to have fewer descriptions on Paul (or let's say more general) than the one of Joseph. In the Thecla Paul is described just as short but Smith described him with an approximate height and all. Even the nose description is different. For me, the description Joseph makes of Paul (including hair color, complexion, etc) gives me the impression that he saw him at some point.
  14. Let me tell you I think Joseph and Paul probably had a longgg discussion about it after Joseph said that Paul was a shorty, had a whining voice and a big nose.
  15. The problem with Satan (if we believe in the Revelation book) is that his fate is pretty much written. He won't repent.
  16. Traveler: What's your definition of very brilliant, highly intellectual and most of all "beautiful" person? So you're saying Satan is capable of loving. If so, who are these friends and how does he show his love for them? (in your opinion).
  17. Satan doesn't have a body. Is it necessary to have a body in order to repent? Does the Atonement of Jesus Christ then applies to him?
  18. Really? Wow. I just wanted to quote the General Handbook about it: Priesthood Ordinances and Blessings*
  19. I believe there are certain situations when I know they're not able to help or they cannot (for whatever reason). Having said that, they're humans just like us. I don't see them any different in that aspect. Good people commit mistakes all the time, that's why we are here.
  20. JudoMinja, first of all get rid off your mother. lol Second, is this guy someone you are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY interested? Not sure if pursuing a relationship with a guy who is recovering from drugs is ideal in your situation and the things you went through before. Nope, I don't think so. Sorry if I disappoint you with my answer.
  21. Just a couple of things: 1. Maybe I was not clear enough but my second paragraph was not mean towards the Bishop or Stake President (although reading it again, it sounds like it). 2. You are actually assuming I haven't spoken to the Bishop and the Stake President. I did actually, I know both of them very well and I know why the funds are not being released. I don't wish to go into the details about the situation but let's not also assume that every leader would react with the same urgency, let's also not assume that every leader would know the correct procedure, or that they won't be caught in the bureaucracy of it all...and most of all, let's not assume that this family may be at fault at something and that's why they're not getting help. Let's be careful with that.

    Polygamy

    Polygamy ceased gradually. Some men left their plural wives based on President Woodruff's Manifesto while others interpreted that it mean new marriages so they continued living with them as husband and wives until their death so we're talking around 1940/50. As a matter of fact, most Church leaders continued living with their plural wives.

    Polygamy

    Every time I see the picture of Sister Amy Lyman in the RS classroom, the first thing that comes to my mind is her husband. Interesting enough, he lived with his other "wife" for almost 20 years! He was already quite an old man when he was excommunicated.
  24. Depends what area the person lives MOE.
