  1. See I wasn't sure I always heard that in the case of guys that the ex stays sealed to us until she remarries, so I didn't know if a cancellation was needed on my part or not.
  2. And before you ask, my bishop is new and clueless.
  3. I have been single for almost two years. I got a divorced after my ex wife starting secretly seeing someone else and when confronted wouldn't give him up, they are still together now. I have been dating a girl that I met months afterwards for a while and we are now engaged.I know I have to be cleared by the first presidency . Do I need to apply for a sealing cancellation or a clearance or is it both? What is the fastest route to go? We want to get married on July 30th, 7 months from now. How long do these things usually take? I've heard horror stories of years today when I spoke to my bishop. Someone said that if you were engaged they went only a month or two. Any information anyone could provide would be most helpful.
  4. well i just mean seems like these people were just trying to lead people astray. THey claimed these wives were wives in name only, as we know of no children besides from Emma. I don't buy into it really,this guy didn't put much stock into tommy monson as he called him so i didn't put much stock in him. The warning of wolves in sheep's clothing and danger from within the church did come to mind. All I mean by the history was for every account that says this you can find at least one that says that, it comes down to the spirit and faith which one you want to follow. As for me I side with the church of course.
  5. I've come across many sites run by so called members of is one of them. Blogs are quite popular They considered Joseph smith a prophet, but think the church has er since than. They dig up a lot of old history to try to show things like Brigham Young invented polygamy and Joseph never practiced it. They make some compelling arguments actually, but as a student of history I will say this. It all comes down to faith. That testimony of the holy ghost. Because as a historian I can say you can prove anything with facts and spin history almost anyway way you want. Just beware of any site that professes to be made by members, but that they know better than the church. Just be warned its not only the anti sites you have to worry about now, its some of the members too.
  6. We have had that chat. What it basically boils down to is she is very selfish with her time. ex If i had a kid I wouldn't have time for this or that. All they do is cry and scream and tell you they hate you. She likes haven't time to do what she wants and knows she won't have as much time if she has kids. Also she's scared of the whole process as well.
  7. Before me and my wife got married 5 years ago we Handel all the big questions. We were married in the temple so religion was covered. She said she wanted kids but wanted to wait till we got out of college. I was fine with that. Well about 3 years ago she just decided she doesn't want kids ever. She also refuses to go to church. I have always loved children and have always wanted my own. I know its her body and she can do with it as she please. I"m just not sure I will ever be happy going through life with no kids. I"m 28 she's 24 so we are both still young enough to do whatever we want with life. We have had other problems as of late that are resolving themselves. But for 3 years now she has sternly said I do not want children this breaks my heart. Not sure what to do. Her family has already tried to talk to her.
  8. I would respond that anyone who doesn't see evidence of the Book of Mormon hasn't done their research very well. There are way too many things to list but their are a lot of books on the subject available through Deseret and other places. Pretty much all the beliefs that are unique to us as well can be found in one branch or another of early christian church pre council of nicea. Plenty of evidence out there if you open your heart to receive it. Evidence of course does not convert though, the spirit does that.
  9. Me and my wife have been married for over 5 years. For most of that time I have been happy. She tells me in Jan "Honey I just want you to know how thankful I am for you . Your a good man you love me.,take care of me, you do good things(word of wisdom,Chasity so on) and you think I"m beautiful. Things were good for another month or two. We have both always played World of Warcraft and like games together. About march she goes off and starts playing with her own friends and doesn't want me joining her. Since then she has started bringing up things that I did years ago I thought were dead and buried(nothing major didn't follow through on what i said i would do etc. lose a few pounds etc) So out of the blue with no trigger event she just gets furious at me. I ask her why she doesn't want to spend time with me. we use to watch tons of netflix. She says I don't need you for that anymore, my emotional needs are being met by these people now. I know she's not physically cheating on me. But she will not do anything or go anywhere with me anymore. We haven't had sex since February. She keeps telling me she needs time to heal, but says thing will never be what they once were. Talking to a bishop is out(she's wanted nothing to do with the church in 4 years even though we are married in the temple.). Counselor is out because she wouldn't listen. She says she does not want a divorce but it really seems like to me she is just keeping me around to pay the bills. I"m at a loss as what to do. I know i can't handle a wife who won't even so much as hug me.
