It will all be restored in the Resurrection.

It is if you are also a man. Of course, that rule would also apply to a domestic man.

Or, maybe you could be a good example to them and show them how the Gospel has made you a better person and how important it is in your life.

Thanks Ned Flanders. I'm going to need your bank account info and address so I can see if you are in possession of anything I need. Since you really don't own anything I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I take what I want.

Tell your son that when he is an adult and paying the bills he can make the rules. Be the parent, not the friend who negotiates with a dependent teenager. Kids don't need more friends at home, they need a parent who will help guide them through their adolescent years.

You must have not been very good at it. I served in 6 areas, and it only took 18 months.

Probably some dirtbag who thinks zombies are real.

Anything red with a block U on it is absolutely hideous.

Dessert: Apple pie Sound: Most 70's rock music. Or silence. Scripture: Mosiah 2: 17-18 Movie: It depends on my mood. John Wayne to Clint Eastwood to Schwartzenegger. Chick flicks need not apply. Vacation spot: A beach. But since my wife hates them, wherever she says we're going.

Because he's out of step with everyone else, and still wants to be seen as the Smartest Person In The Room. Even though it's obvious to everyone that he's not. The Emperor has no clothes on.

Welcome!

Start here and we can expand from there.

Welcome!

So he's going to speak in Australian? Niiice.

People, especially people who are facing their mortality, want to know that they are cared for and thought of by others. Too often we back away when someone we know is facing the end of their life, when instead we should be coming closer. You don't need to do anything grand or exciting, just be there for them, and talk to them. Provide needed service, Help take the load and stress off the surviving caregiver(s).

Some random thoughts: Part of the problem when actions are taken against a poster is that the person generally vehemently disagrees that they were/are breaking site rules, even when shown exactly what they have done. Everyone thinks they are in the right, and they are being unfairly targeted by certain/all mod staff. Personally I have become less involved on the forums partly because after a while the discussions become the same. People with agendas will always bring up their agenda no matter the topic. I can accurately predict most posters' posts before they chime in on threads. Eventually it all becomes the same to me, and I have no interest in carrying out pointless conversations. If we want to have better and more conversations with more people, we need to learn to see things from perspectives different from our own. Some good posters have been chased off because certain other posters here have goaded them into breaking site rules and then complained that we weren't harsh enough in our punishments. And now you're complaining about them being gone? You got what you wanted. When someone is banned, they're banned. Rarely do they get an opportunity to come back.

As you discuss things more with your bishop and stake president, things will become more clear to you. Keep in mind that your first time through, you can ask a good friend of the same sex to go as your escort to show you what to do and where to go. Generally, first-timers should also call the temple and give them a heads-up and tell them which session you are planning on attending so they can have staff available to help you and guide you through your first session. When buying temple clothes through the distribution center tell the people that it is your first time and most centers will sell you the 'kit' for half price.

Ours meets twice a month. The first one is to conduct business and go over calendars, the second one is a training meeting involving either reading out of the CHI or watching a training video on LDS.org and discussing it. This is in the Salt Lake Valley.

I don't have the source material in front of me, but it has been taught that our spirits are fully mature at birth. They don't start out as babies and grow with us as we age. I imagine they would look about like what we will look like at the resurrection when our bodies are rejoined with our spirits.

It's times like this that I wish the laugh button was still here, because this post cracks me up in so many ways. Thanks, Hoosier!

Except your sister. But yes, it has happened in the changing room at work. The offender wasn't an especially bright guy.

I remove garments to exercise, otherwise they get really sticky and uncomfortable. Surprisingly, no one at my gym or workplace who sees my underwear comments on them. Maybe it's because I don't hang out with people who are curious about what I wear under my clothing. However,if I notice someone staring at me while changing clothes, I will say "hey, are you looking at my butt?" really loudly, so that others will hear. This usually embarrasses the person enough to just mind their own business when it comes to my choice of undergarments.

I agree. If Sister Kelly hadn't taken this situation to the extremes that she did, she would still be a member of the Church. As it is, she pushed her agenda to the point where she has and still does encourage people to turn away from the Church. She seems to have forgotten the correct order of how things are done in this church which she claims to still believe is true, which is that the church is run and guided by Jesus Christ Himself, through revelation given to His Prophets, of which there are currently 15, and she is not one of them. Revelation for the Church does not come through common members, it comes through those ordained and holding keys, and those who hold those keys have stated repeatedly that so far there has been no revelation given to them that women are now to be given the priesthood. Sister Kelly has and is still unwilling to accept that, and now she has stepped up the fight, to presume to speak for Christ, and to know better than those who have been entrusted with receiving revelation for the Church. When you claim to believe in a church that purports to be run by Christ through revelation and Prophets on the one hand, yet on the other hand claim that those same Prophets aren't receiving the proper revelation and that you know better, there's a bit of a contradiction in your way of thinking. But Sister Kelly went even a bit further. She upped the ante when she started up a group with the basic premise that the leaders of the church are/were wrong, and that if enough people joined her cause, they could push the Church into changing its stand on the issue through public pressure. She seems to have forgotten that this church which runs by revelation, doesn't take public opinion polls to Jesus in order to receive its revelation. Quite simply, in my opinion, she was in the wrong church. There are plenty of churches out there that operate and change doctrine through polls and bowing to public pressure, The LDS Church has not been and is not now one of them. SHe the one who went to the extremes. She separated herself from the Church a long time ago. The recent excommunication merely made it official.

Except that it was given by a man we hold up as a Prophet of God. And it's certainly not the first time the subject has come up and the same things encouraged. But hey, don't let that stop your 'kicking against the pricks'.

2 1/2 hours is insane. 1 1/2 hours is too long. If you're going that long, your bishop isn't leading the meeting properly and needs to learn time management skills. If it were me, I would just excuse myself and leave unless there is a clear need for me to remain in the meeting. If you do that enough, the bishop will start thinking about how valuable your time is and consider respecting it by conducting ward business in a timely manner.
