So the ward split some time back, I'm on the Scout committee, and we're still trying to put things together Scouting-wise.
How common is this arrangement?
Scouts: ages 11-13
Varstiy: ages 14-15
Venturing: Ages 16+
Especially if the Varsity and Venturing programs aren't being run and it's all just Scouting? What's the point of that? It's like we're bending over backwards to move boys every two years when they won't be doing anything different. I can't find the age thing in the lds scouting handbook.

Sounds like the sealed baby lucks out in this situation. Parents join the church at this time of the lifted veil, kid can say "been there, done that".
Well, obviously not so simple.
But having person sealed has to make it easier to continue sealings. One link is in place...

I'm curious to know if PA was at all defensive in these harsh words. If PB truly was minding his own busness, the blame goes to PA for being socially dysfunctional. But blaming won't do much.
The way I see it:
PA owes PB a big apology.
PB should realize it's just a phone and not hold a grudge over this.
PB should check out the possibility of replacement.
If a replacement is not possible, it would be gracious and fair of PA to replace the phone with his/her money.
PB should focus on get-togethers with PA where PB has more control of the social atmosphere.

If that's how God sorts things out in the eternities, I'm going with a yes.
Fair enough. I brought it up with a co-worker. It's making for fun conversation.
I'm thinking intent might count for a lot here. If the sealed couple assumed their-baby-that-wasn't-biologically-theirs was BIC, God might let it slide. These people probably raised that baby as if it were sealed to them.
My one concern is if there's going to have to be some last-minute sealings for anyone who thought they were sealed and... weren't. Just to keep things in order.
-
But in scenario 2 (without eventual sealing) is it fair the baby who wasn't sealed misses out being connected to the family he was raised with?

I see what you're saying, but that's the mother's fault. No wonder he couldn't handle himself first night without mommy.
Her job is a mother is to create a responsible adult.
As a mother, her job is to protect her child. She knows him better than you do. 18 might not have been the right age for him. Just because society says 18 is an adult does not make it so.

The people participating at the temple certainly aren't the only ones capable of giving a heartfelt prayer, so you and your coworker are correct there. I believe that any time you have a group of people praying fervantly, God will take that into consideration.
It's not so much that the people, the temple, the endowment session make for better prayers--just that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. It's a "perfect storm" of one-mindedness.

Chloroform
No, chemicals are bad for kids. Better a nice solid block to the head to put 'em under.

It's a root beer. Save your energy on a bigger problem.

He's also completely unrepentant. Yawning during court?
-
I think it depends on the state. You're probably thinking of those Romeo & Juliet laws or similar ones.

krcp, here's more advice: you might have to think of forgiving your husband as separate from bringing him back. Because you might not want to have him back. You are commanded to forgive, that's not an option. For the time, step back from the marrige relationship and focus on how you can rise above this and forgive him for his errors.
-
You're right. I'm overreacting. My apologies to everyone.
-
well-said, anne.
Forgiveness has nothing to do with keeping the marriage together.

anatess, I prefer your wording.

You are asking why is it ok to murder? And many here are answering: It isn't ok.
A few people bothered to actually properly pick the guy's brain for me. Everyone else is mad at me for feeling bad for a guy on the sex offender list.
-
It is sad. I never said otherwise.
I guess I was on a different wavelength than you.
-
When did I say murder isn't murder? Did I ever say the other guy completely deserved it? My intended focus was that I'm sad a guy who only slept with a girl during high school gets to be put on the same moral level as a true pedophile.
I'll try and restate this: Because I'm human, I find it slightly less sad that a true pedophile is dead than some guy who liked his high school girlfriend.
-
I dont see any shades of grey in this. He is a plain old murderer.
I'm just saying I can understand people being more upset about the slept-with-girlfirend pedophile's death than the legitimate pedophile's death.
-
I agree. I really don't condone murder at all. I can understand people that will admit shades of gray in the situation, but thinking it's all aroung okay?
-
I hate to admit it, but there is part of me that can't completely hate the guy for wanting to get rid of pedophiles. However, my morality does not support it and I'm a little offended I have people jump down my throat without further questioning me.
Rather, my question is just that: why is it okay to murder, especially when someone did nothing?
As for consent still making it a sexual offense, is it fair that two kids can have consensual sex, one parent can get mad, and condemn the boyfriend/girlfriend to a life of being unable to get a job due to being on the list?
-
What gets me is that one of the victims was just a guy who had sex with his girlfriend in high school. Should that be a murdering offense?
-
I don't know... I can understand that it would be hard to get a lawsuit when nothing happened, but the mother said her boy had never been anywhere without an adult. That could be scary for a boy, even if he is 18.

It's so good that you do love him in spite of all of this. By all means, stay true to that love you feel, but don't be stupid! Your husband might be in a difficult place right now. He might be struggling. He truly might feel abandoned and needing to find other means of affection.
But you still have you to take care of. And I don't mean just as your role as mother of his children. You do not deserve to be in a marriage where these sorts of things are okay.
The fact that he's with his parents right now is probably for the best. Use the separation to figure out what you need: whether the two of you are able to hold the marriage together or whether it ends.
You will be needing to put your foot down and telling him what your expectations are. If he really doesn't have a testimony anymore, there's really no sense in demanding he fake one. But if he still wants any part in the marriage relationship, he can't be acting the way he is doing and you have to be the one to tell him that.
