I am sorry. These are very painful afflictions.

Dear Pam, Why do yo u need to avoid fiber? I think that I may have the same problem

You are obviously a great and creative cook!

Oh come on tell us what they did!

Do Latter Day Saints believe that those who die single in this life can marry in the next? If a saint is married in the next life, is this a proxy marriage in which two living people take part in a proxy ceremony so that the dead person can be sealed to their spouse?

This is not my understanding. Perhaps there are different opinions on this? Let's start a new thread.

Suddenly I am absolutely starving! This sounds amazing.

Wow! Total yum!

You really are going through hard times. Hugs!

We are looking forward to getting to know you too. Welcome!

That is harsh!

I am searching for a breakfast that is lower carb and does not require turning on the stove - I am afraid that I will burn the house down, I am so sleepy. Knives are also a bad idea! What do you eat? I like ensure with fibre but it is a bit expensive. Any ideas?

Sorry. Ignore this. I got lost in the tread and did not realize that it has been answered repeatedly

What does she say is the problem?

[ You don't think its a tad cruel to tell people "so sorry, you'll be alone forever cause people out there are terrible, sucks to be you I guess" They remind us that we will be able to marry in the next life.

My profile has a line "0 warning posts". What is a warning post?

When investigating the church I spoke to other Christians. I was hoping to find an easier way to have God in my life. You know, no tithing. You can have sex if you really love each other. I talked to some devout Lutherans who told me that no one can really know if there is a God. This struck me as sad. How do you go forward and make commitments, if you do not know? This suggests to me that personal revelation is less common outside the church. Also when I suggest to Catholic friends that they pray for answers, they become hostile. Something odd there. Perhaps, there is a lack of guidance with respect to personal prayer? So they know, they should but they don't know how? Or they have little success and feel frustrated?

One third of those who marry will divorce. Half of all marriages end in divorce because those who do divorce tend to remarry and divorce again. There are a fairly small number of people who marry and divorce frequently who drive up the divorce stats. Most, two thirds, of those who marry do not divorce. Given all the curve balls that life throws you, that's pretty good! Marriage in fact is thriving!

Never have been to nauvoo. I wonder what would be nice to see if I did go? I wonder what is so special about nauvoo? Special sprit? Is the nauvoo temple in current use as a temple?

Are you perhaps a former catholic? Are you thinking about different levels of sin: venial, mortal?

James4:17 to sin is to fail to act righteously when you know you are doing wrong. Sin makes it more difficult for the Holy Ghost to communicate with you and hurts Heavenly Father. There was a time when a prophet Kimball failed to take the sacrament. He explained that his mind wandered during the sacrament prayer. Little things are sins and should be taken seriously because they distance you from God. Do you need to confess taking a post it note from work to the Bishop? No but you should stop taking post its. Do minor sins make you a bad person? No because we all sin. Thinking uncharitable thoughts. Cutting people off in traffic. When we notice a sin, we should repent and stop or at least with traffic offences, cut down!

Hi. Nice to know you.

In my area, women often have to choose between life long celibacy or marrying out. We have about 10 single women per single man. Some feel this is a sign of the times. What do you think is the correct decision? I think that the church would recommend not marrying because if you marry out you are more likely to fall away. But not marrying means no kids. Interestingly my stake pres suggested that I foster a child. I was surprised as many feel that choosing to be a single mom puts a burden on the church. Still it is an option.

I think that most of the time marrying out is difficult because of the many demands that the lds faith puts on us -tithing, callings. Also the prophets recommend that we not marry out so this recommendation is a major clue. However if you are already married when you convert you will have celestial assistance in keeping that marriage together. Paul did not feel that a lack of faith on the part of your partner justified divorce. I do know a couple of professional women who chose to marry out because their primary aim was to find a man who would support them in their careers. They are vey happy in their marriages but they wish that they could convert their spouse. I also know of a convert who joined after marriage whose marriage is very successful but who wishes to convert their spouse, i think most people should not date outside of the church because marrying out is a strain on your life, spiritual development, and your relationship. However many women and especially for those who could not be happy without a career, you need to find someone who will support you in your career. This is not easy. Not that many men will take over the housework when you are coping with exams. Not many will move when you get a promotion in another city. I can understand why career women marry out. Further in many areas, it is a choice to marry out or not marry. What would the prophet recommend? My guess is not to marry out even if that means lifelong celibacy but if you are married when you convert then do everything you can short of losing your faith to keep the marriage together. What do you think?
