Oooh that sounds fab
Will give it a go
Thanks for posting

Once back at Church previously inactive members are given lessons in Gospel Principles at the time everyone else has Sunday School. So you won't miss out on anything.
It's great news that you are coming back to Church!!

However, it is VITAL for all Mormon couples to be Sealed in the Temple.
They have the opportunity and they must take that opportunity in order to receive Celestial glory. That is, of course, if they stay worthy.

The Tithing is 10%, yes.
It has sometimes been difficult for me to pay tithing but I have always made it my first priority always.
The blessings I have received from paying tithing compensate tenfold.

So, then, what is the best way to address these fellow imperfect Saints?
A lot of us don't seem to like the idea of just letting it go, but what is the best way to reprimand them?
I had mentioned this problem to our Bishop a few months ago.
All I was told was that "we have a perfect Church with imperfect people in it"
and to just "let it go"
It is hard to let it go when the object of the criticism is a friend.

Is this just a local issue, or does this happen a lot of places? One day my daughter heard some of it and she told me that when she grows up and has kids she won't live here. She did say that she would let me move in next door though :)
I think we all have that type of person in every Ward, no matter where in the World it happens to be.
We have a RS Pres (a convert of 40 years) whom is outspoken that way and has said some really cutting things about Sisters. Totally uncalled for.
I tend to just keep away from her and her venom.
To be honest they are to be pitied. That they have spent time on the Gospel and in prayer and yet can still come out with such hurtful garbage.

Am so pleased to hear it.
When I was just investigating the Church I was told, by LDS friends, to watch the Conference on the net. Watching Pres Monson speak was wonderful for me and cemented my decision to be baptised.

I wish I could help you - that exact same situation happened to me.
Can't help on the talk, though

You may want to slow down and take a closer look at his post, namely:
Read the whole tone of the post and not just one sentence.
It is a common assumption amongst a lot of men. You only have to watch certain tv shows and the subject comes up time and time again.

I guess my issue with modesty is the fact that some women take it too far and don't want to make men "sin" by looking at them. Please. I know and see too many women that just don't take care of themselves. They gain weight, they wear sweats, no makeup, no perfume, no high heels, no cute dresses, etc. Please fix yourself up! You would look fantastic and its up to the man to control his thoughts. Geez, I want my wife to dress sexy ALL THE TIME if possible. haha Because I would do the exact same for her! (Of course I'm talking about an imaginary wife and the moment . . . haha).
I laughed out loud when I read this post.
How dare you!
Men in a relationship gain weight, wear sweats, don't bother to wash or to shave, wear old clothes with no regard for their wife.
Why should it only be the woman's responsibility to take care of themselves? Why do women have to wear 'cute' dresses.
I wear what I want to wear, clothes that I like, that are modest and flattering. I don't want to wear clothes that scream 'hey, come look at me'.
Women gain weight with child-bearing and sometimes they find it very hard to lose that weight - particularly when they have an unsupportive husband nagging them about gaining weight in the first place.
I, for one, cannot wear heels any more and haven't been able to for 10 years or so due to a medical problem.
I cannot and will not conform to a MAN's perception of 'sexy'

Whatever happens in 2012, one thing is certain - there needs to be massive change with everything, from the way countries conduct business and their financial affairs, to the way people live and work.
Our Governments are working us into the ground, the retirement age getting higher and higher.
The cost of living is spiralling ever higher, with each passing week.
We need huge change, both of spirituality and conduct.
I really can't wait for the prophesied changes to occur, we have to be left better off than where we are right now.

A more likely scenario is that the EuroZone will revert to the old currencies. This is not the Euro "crashing". If this happens (which I personally think is very unlikely) the Dollar will emerge, at least temporarily, stonger.
I wouldn't be too sure about the Euro going and the European countries reverting to their original currencies.
Every single country in Europe that chose to go Euro realised within months of doing so that it was a huge mistake for them to have made. Their cost of living rocketed in every case.
Thank goodness we don't have the Euro in the UK.

About 80 of them! Was amazed at that number

It was watching the General Conference when Pres. Monson spoke that made the decision for me to be baptised into the LDS Church in the first place.
I have had many experiences of 'intervention' if you want to call it that and I have heard of other stories where inspiration has played a part.
I would totally expect that this would happen to Pres. Monson himself, and many many others too.
I too wish there had been an option of believing the whole story completely.

Hi, I'm hoping to to be enlightened on a matter. A man died in a car accident leaving behind a lovely 24 year old wife. They had no children and had been married for about 3 years. They'd had a Temple Marriage. I'm sure that one day the sister will want to remarry as she is so young now. What are the ramifications of her remarrying and raising children that she and her new husband will both love, as it relates to her first husband that she is sealed to? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
A woman whose husband has died can be remarried in the Temple and Sealed in exactly the same way as her first marriage.

As an aside we have an issue with an 83 year old lady in my Ward re Sealings.
Her parents were not married, in fact her Father was killed before he even knew that there was going to be a baby born.
Her Mother married someone when the baby was under a year old.
Now she has the problem that she cannot be sealed to her biological Father because her parents were not married, yet she has been sealed to her Step-Father because they were married.
When you think about the way the World has gone over the last 20/30 years with such a low rate of marriage, etc and several children within a family being born to several different Fathers, it is going to pose problems if and when those innocent children choose to become LDS since they cannot be sealed to their parents, or to siblings. It will be interesting.

Thanks, this is exciting! I hope I can invite my missionaries to come as well when that time comes. They mentioned that it should be possible, they have to get permission. Guess I should write letters to them to see how they're doing (they'll be in the mission for another year).
That would be just great!

I have noticed the building in Jerusalem could be converted pretty easily. If so does that mean that temple is already built?
Those are pretty nice 'rumors' :)
Well, exactly.
We had so many discussions at Church about the Second Coming and the signs, etc, I started investigating all of this when I was trying to find out how they would get an LDS Temple built in Jerusalem. Then I found out it is already there.
They do have Services in the BYU Centre - a friend from our Ward goes on the LDS History Cruises regularly so she has been there a couple of years ago.
I have no doubts at all that the BYU Centre is the Temple in the Old Jerusalem.
Then I found about about the conversion of the LDS Visitor's Centre.
Then I am starting to think that the Second Coming could be very close - now that is an exciting thought.

Hmm wonder if thats in Jackson County? Still wasnt it supposed to be built on the side of adam-di-oman?
No, I did not add it to the list as a rumour!! I did some research on this just a few weeks ago.
The Kansas City Temple IS in Jackson County, Missouri.
Since we managed to lose the original site my US LDS friends all seem to think that the Kansas City Temple is THE Temple. However, not altogether certain about that.
However, we have people in our Stake whom have worked closely on the LDS Visitor's Centre in Independence, Missouri and it can be converted without much problem which is on the original land planned by Joseph Smith.
Same goes for the BYU Centre in Jerusalem too, apparently. It can be converted within a couple of weeks, when necessary.
Very cool site (need login for Family Search)

Have just used this on mine and it is superb.
Now all I need to do is to find a printer who can print it out for me in a size that is readable.
