Biting comment MrsS? Or joke?

What about your thoughts on this Palerider?

Hi RyanH, That makes more sense now. People have already been married… Thanks for the lesson.

Where are you in this process Outshined?

Hi Traveler, Thanks again for peaking my interest. "Married by proxy." That is a new concept to me. What specifically is it and who says you can marry someone to someone else that do not consent? What if they don't like the person with whom others are making them marry? Thanks for the thought provoking post. Dr. T

Hi Traveler, That was funny. You bring up an interesting point that they "are given special spiritual guidance." By what means is that manifest? Isn't it, as some has said, sometimes about "the people you know/are in good favor with." That sounds sort of like nepotism and I do not necessarily see them (in that case) being chosen by God and ordained with special discernment. That is just my initial thought. Dr. T

Wow Monica. You are confident.

Your quickly approaching the big 6000!

Hello all, I believe that marriage is a blessing. Amongst LDS, there appears to be a similar sentiment. How far would you all take the importance of marriage? It is sort of a rite of passage in your church to be married in the temple. What of those not married? Would you see them as committing a sin? Thank you, Dr. T

Hello and nice to meet you Mags. Dr. T

Thank you for you thoughtful and educational post Dror. It was helpful.

There is such a thing as institutional racism. May that is what he meant.

Good clarification Ray.

The others' words are different words about the same words that you are trying to express? Or are you saying that the words used by the other are a limited set of words and require more words to complete the thought? I think that you are saying that the words that you use are designed to complete the words of the other's lack of proper use of the words that the other person is using. Or in other words, "I'm hungry." Is that it? Sorry, couldn't resist. I tried though.

I think that's great Winnie. I would also say, the first part of the title of you post also is good advice. "Never argue with a woman."

Thank you SS :)

Hey Heather, I PM'ed you and have not heard back. Will you let me access the General Discussion forum? THank you

Does anyone else feel like we're on a merry-go-round?

Raselphalvens?

Can't include me in the "we all do this" statement (at least not yet) Dr. T

Snow, What is the "Topeka and Mascara" in the subtitle?

Hi Heather, They should have one of those (and Denzel Washington should win)

Hi just_jason76, I grew up in Los Angeles (very diverse). When we were growing up if I heard someone say, "I was talking to tihs white guy the other day." Would you see that as racism? Thanks

SS, Thanks for sharing your experiences. Hey, anytime you have something to share (LDS or not) you are always welcome to share with me. :) Thanks again. Hi just_jason76, Thank you for your thoughts. So you see it as a divinely inspired position to hold. You also see them as humans that have the "authority" and "necessary inspiration to counsel, to judge, to lead" in your ward. Thank you.
