If you do have the missionaries or home teachers help you out with this, make sure that they come over when you son is at home. If he has any sense of decency he will feel really guilty that you had to ask someone else to do it.

Exactly...and a temple sealing can be cancelled.

Interesting that Statehood was at issue when WW received that revelation.

You stated in your OP that you can't be baptized until 2015, and you wouldn't be able to go to the temple until 1 year after that, so I'm not really sure why this seems to be such an issue with her at the moment anyway. Also, she can receive her endowment without being married to a member... I think that it is still church policy that she get written permission from her husband in order to do this, so a good gesture on your part would be to support her in this. If she's so concerned about being sealed in this life, than she really should have dated an active member with the same intentions, not a non member. You can also point out to her that temple work is done for the dead, and that with such detailed records being kept these days, chances are if the two of you stay married you will be sealed after you die... (and according to doctrine that sealing is just as valid as if the two of you do it yourselves in this life). So the real question is does she really want to be with you for eternity, or does she just want to fit in with the club?

Same reason why in 1978 the priesthood ban on blacks was lifted, men are not allowed to be alone with SS classes, and the penalty vows were removed from the temple ceremony... Public opinion. in actuality the church still practices polygamy, in that a man can be sealed to more than one woman at a time, however he cannot have sexual relations with anyone but the wife that the local government recognizes.

That petroglph looked a lot more like a llama than a horse to me. From the askGramps link So 70 years isn't long enough for a quadrupedal animal to cross the content? Humans can cross the continent (on foot) in less than one year.

Funky, Nope. I have never been alone with him. His wife and my husband used to work together, and there were rumors of them back then.

Clarification My bishop *****-footed around it saying stuff like 'have you had any inappropriate relationships?'....when I said "No." He then said how about 'so-and-so'. Again "No." Bishop then says, "So you think that your relationship with him is appropriate?" However, my boss was straight out accused of having an affair with some one in "Ward X". He didn't know what ward I'm in, so he asked who he is supposedly having an affair with. His Bishop would not tell him. When he told his wife (who I have known for years) she knew exactly who they meant, and she gave me a call.

Depending on how out of hand this rumor gets, we could both loose our jobs! I am the ONLY source of income for my family.

On Sunday, the Bishop called me into his office, and (in delicate words) accused me of having an affair with my boss. (My boss is also LDS, but attends a different ward.) I denied this false accusation, but I have a distinct feeling that my Bishop believes that I am lying. I figured that I'd talk to my boss at work on Monday, and let him know the situation. About an hour after I get home from church, my boss's wife calls me. "We need to talk" It turns out that her husband was called into his bishop's office at the same time, for the same reason. Neither my nor his bishop would say who had made these claims. On Sunday My husband and I, along with my boss and his wife are going to demand the Bishops tell us who has made these false accusations, and hold this person accountable. (I'm 99% sure I know who it is, but am waiting for them to come forward before pointing fingers). Don't I have the right to know who is accusing me??!!!!
