Do they have something akin to the first amendment in england? My quick google search says no. It looks like Tommy Robinson needs to obey the law.

This is not good advice. However, next time you see her you should approach her and say hello, it will then be very clear if she is avoiding you or not. Keep in mind that the times you have seen her she has been with her boyfriend so yeah she probably is avoiding you. Don't do this, it's a good way to get punched in the nose. Again bad advice.

no

I don't know what insurance plan you have and I am sorry that you are struggling with this it is terrible. I do know this, pre Obama care I had affordable insurance with low deductibles and high levels of coverage. I don't want to make this a political discussion however post Obama care my insurance is slightly better that catastrophic insurance, high deductibles brutally high, low coverage % by the insurer and I have the pleasure of paying more for it. I feel your pain.

I agree, and this becomes a teaching moment for the parents.

HAve you ever been to the DMV? When has the government successfully run anything?

Depending on the situation yes. You quoted Dallin H Oaks I have big problems with his statement, but I don't view it as relevant to this discussion. I will say this, Breastfeeding is not sexual. I read your little diatribe about how it is in the world of porn etc. etc. If our youth, husbands, and other men are having sexual thoughts when they see a woman breast feeding they should have a discussion with their bishop, at a minimum take a hard look in the mirror and get a grip on reality.

Nothing is wrong with it, until it clouds our judgement. Breastfeeding is a great example. I agree with our leaders that there needs to be a level of modesty surrounding what we do and how we behave and dress. I also think that there are some situations where the rules surrounding modesty need to be adjusted Breastfeeding is one of them.

No one should have an issue with either one of these examples. We need to not look at everything though our puritanical glasses. An exposed breast in not the end of the world and breast feeding is not sexual. I somehow managed to serve a mission in another country where women frequently exposed themselves to breastfeed and I managed to make it through unscathed.

I got a better answer from @Traveler Look, you don't want to marry anyone who watches R rated movies, or swears, what other criteria do you have?

When you say profanity I am assuming you mean swearing, which covenant am I breaking if I drop an F- bomb now and then? Please be very specific? How exactly do you define vulgarity? like potty talk etc? again please be very specific which covenant covers this. Don't go quoting a bunch of old conference talks about how we shouldn't swear, use profanity or be vulgar. I can in general agree that we should not do these things. I want to know which covenant is being broken when I stub my toe and say the S word.

Well this While I disagree with you about a rated R movie being contrary to your covenants, if you expressed that opinion to her it may/would cause a negative reaction. Lets not even talk about your hangups with sex in general which can be noted in another thread.

Honestly, you seem to be wound up pretty tight. Try relaxing a little.

It was a gift wrap your head around that idea, you are never getting it back and I would stop asking for it back if you haven't already.

The First Presidency has answered this question in this way: “The simplest statement we know of is the statement of the Lord himself, namely, that the members of the Church should pay ‘one-tenth of all their interest annually,’ which is understood to mean income. No one is justified in making any other statement than this” (First Presidency letter, Mar. 19, 1970). We do not tithe our assets. If you want to tithe the gain on the sale of your personal residence that is between you and God. The question is will you tithe on the gross gain or less exclusions?

It's apples and oranges, you can't compare blacks and the priesthood to the LGBTQ community. For fun IF the "Church" decided to allow all rights privileges etc to practicing homosexuals I would either become Jewish or Catholic.

I agree, unless you personally know of immoral or illegal behavior you should sustain them. If you just don't like them on a personal level or have had bad business dealings with them that does not justify a non sustaining vote.

Because God said so, he didn't mention Coke

For the record I agree with you, funds, recognition, and leadership efforts should be equal. I am only pointing out why the inequity exists.

Eh, they (boys) need a more structured and reward based program, otherwise they would just play basketball every week. Girls/women being the superior sex are able to progress without the structure that is needed for young men.

It's not misogyny, it's not imbalance, it's not unfair. It just is.

No it will come off as creepy

Did you net read the part where she said this: Sounds like option 1 until the OP is in a better place spiritually and mentally No one should be browbeaten into accepting a calling. Individual consideration and compassion need to come into play. Shaming them by saying that they are giving up blessing does not help either you don't know that they are giving up blessings how could you know?

You shouldn't be afraid of your leaders, your husband needs to get involved. I haven't read every response but if no one has mentioned it you need to tell him to make this go away for you. Your husband in no uncertain terms needs to tell the Stake president that the answer is no and to find another candidate.

You will be welcomed back and probably given a calling. Based on what you have told us you did not have sex/oral sex did I read that right? So we are talking about an emotional affair, maybe some kissing and stuff? Yeah, your not going to get excommunicated or disfellowshipped. Your remorseful right? You have mended fences with your spouse right? I am sure you have prayed and asked for forgiveness right? and have committed to never do it again? Why would you disclose this past transgression to your bishop? What would the benefit of it be?
