Welcome and congratulations! I used to work at the temple and never saw n escort getting a gift. I would not.

I will miss them! I hope that their new project is available outside the US!

I think perhaps celestial beings are allowed to visit those in lower kingdoms.

I am lds and have spent many an hour in bars drinking coke. No problem. Besides alcohol tastes terrible. There is a reason why there are cocktails designed to disguise the flavour of alcohol.

I am very sorry for your experiences! Thinking of you.

Thank you Mods!

@BunnyMummy I used to work at the temple so..suggest put a white face cloth over the drain next time she takes a shower. Check the cloth for purple after the shower. If all is well. Call the temple, not on Saturday or evening but when a session is scheduled. Tuesday or Wednesday are good days. Ask to talk to Temple President. (If they offer you the Temple Matron, I would offer to call back later as Matrons in my experience are very strict. ) Explain the situation to the Pres and tell him that you have checked for color runoff. Be apologetic, don’t be defensive, stick to the facts. If you are not accompanying your daughter to the temple, send her with a note. Give the time and date of your conversation with the Pres. Good luck! 😊

@Bluebonnet Hi there! Good for you! I am an lds member, former atheist. I did as you are doing, I started by obeying the commandments. I promised God that I would obey the commandments if He would speak to me. Worked for me! I know that you have been on this journey for awhile and probably have encountered the info below but just in case! Like you, I also read the Book of Mormon to understand the basis of the lds religion. I got an ebook from Amazon called the 24 hour Book of Mormon (BOM) that I read while I was reading the Book of Mormon. The 24 hour version helped me to follow the plot. The Book of Mormon has flashbacks like the Tv series Lost so this book is helpful! I suggest skipping BOM chapters that mention ‘Isaiah’ in the heading. There is a great book by Ridges called Making Isaiah Easier but I would hold off for the moment. If you like you could purchase a timeline for the BOM from amazon. The website AskGramps is a great resource for cultural lds questions. Personally, I would attend church. There is a Sunday School class taught in the 2nd hour that is really great. I found the lds people to be one of the great selling points of the church. Meeting people online can be helpful but...sometimes the online personality is the part of themselves that they normally hide - for good reason! Looking at you, @mirkwood! If you, like me, are somewhat Left of center politically, don’t worry. There are many lds who share your views. Most lds people are not American. The church leadership is pro helping refugees and has set up an extensive program run on volunteer labor and funds. I can send links to freely available manuals and videos for the BOM. Let me know how it goes with the BOM! If you like you can chat with missionaries online who will be happy to answer questions about the BOM and lds life in general. https://www.mormon.org/this-is-church

@classylady Should we ban Classy Lday for liking Lionel Richie? 😱 Having typed that dreaded singer’s name I now have to wash my iPad.

@Returninghome Great News!

Anchovies?

Pineapple and pizza. NO! NO! a thousand times NO! 🤢

I just saw it. I see what you mean. Great costumes, locations and technical effects. The people that I went with hated it! I liked it but not for adults who dislike kid movies.

Whttps://www.pastoralcounseling.org/career/military-chaplain Says you must be ordained minister in your faith group Uk may be different. Lots of jokes about high ranking Anglican’s who are atheists.

Do you recommend for adults?

Humanists (atheists) can conduct marriages. That’s all that I have heard.

High tech!

@priesthoodpower So glad that you are back! Glad that things are looking up for you in many ways!

@Hello So pleased that you are here! Congrats on your baptism!
