  1. I understand that some people may think a gay person cant change there thoughts, but here is a scripture from Roman12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. So if anyone has a desire to keep gods comandments while being attracted to the same sex, can transform there thoughts, they just can't do it alone, they need jesus and with jesus its possible to do all things and be strengthen, it might be a harder path to take. i personaly eternal joy comes from keeping gods commandments. I dont understand why some feel there better off and happy not keeping the commandments, but i know they have there agentcy to choose and the lord wants us to show them love no matter there choices. I respect stacey speaking out, and I hope this does help youth move forward in faith instead of committing suicide. Like i said if you read the scripture any one who has a desire to keep the lords commandments wil have a transformation of the mind, and the lord will see them through it. It may not happen right away, it may take years or months , weeks or days. Just know that with jesus anything is possible and he can strengthen us
  2. Well i dont trust trump , i think anything could happen, right now it just feels like a lot of rumors of wars are going around. It will be interesting to see how things will happen in the next couple of years.
  3. Ive tried to keep a food dairy and i do well at keeping it for a week, than get tired of doing it, cause i rather do something eles or its not fun enough for me, or i dont like having to do it. All i know is i hate having write out my food after every time i eat. Is it possible to still loose weight and not track what you eat. Or a faster easier way to track? Ive tried all sorts of apps and ways but it doesn't stick with me. I rather just eat and skip making a documentary on what i eat. Lol
  4. My ward got permission from our bishop to meet as a group separate from primary, so what we are doing where the 3rd block used to be, every 1st and 3rd Sunday we will meet to do the come follow me, so that we can have interaction with other adults and keep up whats being taught in sundy school class. Also the 3rd sunday we will have a potluck after, like a munch and mingle type thing.... so somthing you could maybe ask your bishop to do simlar in your ward. We thought of doing it Wednesday nights but its just more convenient at the church and on sunday, plus im pretty sure the apostle who spoke on this new church schedule thing ,said we could get together with other families or singles etc if we desired. Hope you find a solution and good luck.
  5. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia about the word of wisdom. Cola and other caffeinated beverages A longstanding issue among members of the church is whether it is permissible to ingest drinks containing caffeine that are not coffee or tea. In 1918, Frederick J. Pack, a Latter-day Saint professor at the University of Utah, published an article in an official church magazine in which he reasoned that because Coca-Cola contained caffeine, which is also present in tea and coffee, Latter-day Saints should abstain from Coca-Cola in the same way that they abstain from the Word of Wisdom "hot drinks".[51] Since Pack's article, many Latter-day Saints have come to believe that the reason tea and coffee are proscribed is the presence of caffeine in the drinks. However, the church has never stated that this is the reason for the prohibition. The church has no official stance on the consumption of caffeinated beverages and the consumption of such does not constitute a violation of the Word of Wisdom. However, a number of church leaders have discouraged the use of such products. For example, in 1922, Church President Heber J. Grant counseled the Latter-day Saints: I am not going to give any command, but I will ask it as a personal, individual favor to me, to let coca-cola [sic] alone. There are plenty of other things you can get at the soda fountains without drinking that which is injurious. The Lord does not want you to use any drug that creates an appetite for itself.[52] Two years after making this statement, Grant met with a representative of the Coca-Cola Company to discuss the church's position on Coca-Cola; at the conclusion of their second meeting, Grant stated that he was "sure I have not the slightest desire to recommend that the people leave Coca-Cola alone if th[e] amount [of caffeine in Coca-Cola] is absolutely harmless, which they claim it is".[39] Grant never again spoke out against the use of cola drinks. Approximately fifty years later, the church issued an official statement which stated: With reference to cola drinks, the Church has never officially taken a position on this matter, but the leaders of the Church have advised, and we do now specifically advise, against the use of any drink containing harmful habit-forming drugs under circumstances that would result in acquiring the habit. Any beverage that contains ingredients harmful to the body should be avoided.[53] Because of such statements, some adherents believe that caffeine is officially prohibited under the Word of Wisdom.[54][55] On the campus of Brigham Young University, a church-owned school in Provo, Utah, only caffeine-free beverages are sold.[56][57] Official church publications have occasionally published articles by medical practitioners that warn of the health risks of consuming caffeine[58] However, in November 2010, the Salt Lake Tribune noted that in the 2010 church Handbook, which sets out the official position of the church on health and social issues, no position on drinking Coca-Cola or caffeinated drinks is included.[59] The Tribune has concluded that the church "takes no official position on caffeine".[57] [edit]Other areas
