  1. There have been a number of unfavourable uses of mormon material for entertainment purposes such as big love and the Book of Mormon musical. I heard that there were no demonstrations organized by the church against the musical. What attitude or action does the church recommend that we take against such unfavourable presentations?
  2. For me the toughest change that I have made in an effort to obey the gospel is not working Sundays. I thought this would kill me. I obey but almost every week for many years I am tempted to break the sabbath and work. Now I am trying to be cheerful and positive. Very hard. I am practicing smiling. Boy this is tough!
  3. Why not try Banff? Very beautiful with wild life. Stay there 4 the full 4 days. Be careful about early morning walks in the woods - there are bears. I spent 4 days in Banff while attending a conference. Each day I took a short cut through the woods to the conference center. On the last day I took the conference bus and talked to the bus driver who told me off for walking on previous days because of, you know, bears!
  4. I have a copy of the documentary tv series \"Messiah:Behold the Lamb of God\". It was produced by the Neal A. maxwell institute and byutv. This series is amazing. Various byu religion professors visit the holy land and discuss the gospels. Other byu professors give insights into the gospel. Does anyone know of similar series or shows that might be available for purchase or available online?
  5. I like your varied approach. I think looking up topics is a good break from reading the Book of Mormon over and over!
  6. Do you have a scripture reading routine that works for you? A way to record insights? AS per suggestion in Teaching NO Greater Call, I pray before and ask the HG to b with me to help me understand what I read and after I pray to say thank you for scriptures. This manual also said to come up with a system to record and retrieve spiritual impressions. The best that I have come up with is a spiral notebook with post it notes to indicate pages that have important information. Do you have a scripture study method that works for you?
  7. What was your favourite conference talk? Why do you like it?
  8. Thank you all. This is good advice.
  9. Dear Bros & Sis\'s, I have developed a bad habit of being negative. I think this is because I work brutally long hours six days a week without the benefit of coffee which I miss desperately. I rarely do anything fun because Sunday is my only day off. I do need to become more positive. I am trying to : 1) smile, 2) pray at work, while driving, while walking to work, 3) do favours for people. I carry a spare umbrella when it is raining to give away. 4) say prayers of gratitude. Any ideas?
  10. If your home teachers call and ask if you can meet them at a specific time that does not work for you, suggest several other times, otherwise you could labelled "difficult". Sunday after church often works well. If your hometeachers are not very diligent, you can call the elders quorum pres and ask him to arrange a blessing for you
  11. Listen to conference talks Watch ads on the mormon channel Call older ladies in relief society Listen to primary hymns Read Book of Mormon Go for a walk
  12. Will we have time off? Will there be time to do the things that we have not been able to do in this life-read novels, spend time with relatives, sit and meditate?
  13. Please. Send more encouraging thoughts like this!
  14. The Book of Mormon made easier by ridges
