  1. Mister. You just need to quit it! Knock that foolish controlling and petty stuff off before she smacks your nose with a rolled up newspaper and tells you to go marry a duck.
  2. In simplest terms, It's a name in a common tongue. He's also called "Yeshua" in Hebrew. I would not worry about that, in your and our common tongue, we more oft call him Jesus.As such, hence "The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints".
  3. Ok, I'm blushing now, reading comprehension sometimes eludes me. OOPS!
  4. Grinches beware! "Sad boys, Sad boys, whatcha going to do, whatcha going to do when Santa comes for you"?
  5. Ok, ok, all humor aside, *WE* believe in ONE GOD. Of course, in the Godhead, there are THREE holy influences, each with it's own realm of practice, yet part of a whole in purpose. GOD the Father, Jesus Christ THE SON (And our savior, advocate, defense counsel if you will) and the HOLY SPIRIT, (Wise counselor, OUR inner voice is HIS, not ours, You KNOW it when you feel the presence). However, there is only ONE God, and he does not have multiple personalities.
  6. It may be that way fairly universally, although I can not say from my own experience, I've never NOT made an appointment, I have been excessively early, but at those moments, temple staff have only been happy to utilize me in sealings and initiatory ordinances, which is cool with me, I'm happy to help out.
  7. Wow! Man, you've really had a tough time of it. I had the exact opposite experience as you when I went through for my endowment I am not sure I could have been as patient as you have been. I probably would have handled it poorly and had to go stand in the priesthood corner for wayward elders. Chase after it, don't be afraid to be pushy, assertive, lovingly, but assertive never the less, and NEVER take "I'll get back to you" for an answer. If I were your Bishop and you were jumping all over me to go to the temple, I'd be making some phone calls to the Stake Presidency to help you make this happen. We're SUPPOSED to go to the temple! The temple is for EVERYONE, therefor, those in church leadership have an obligation to only hold someone back insomuch that requisite things that need be done get done. Charge forward! P.S. I am not a Bishop, nor do I play one on TV.
  8. Meh, I'm more of a David Eddings fan. Belgariad and Mallorean series being my favorites. Yes, Bad Karma can read. Ug Ug Ug!
  9. Nah man, vent away. While you're venting, you do realize that real love is FREE, it does not demand reciprocation, keep track of wrongs, real love exists for the sake of love. It's not a two way street, it doesn't have to be. In fact, the more your wife refuses to love you, love her even more. Have that compassion for her that she must be really sad and hurting to feel so disconnected from you. Yes, we men do have feelings, we're also taught at a young age to not be governed by them, but it's nice to take those feelings out for a drive now and then.
  10. Hi 5th Horseman! I'm an ex hooligan! Glad to meet you. You already got great advice in here, welcome back to Church! I just thought I'd say "Hi"!
  11. Well, you certainly have a contrite spirit, and your conviction inside must be the callings of the holy spirit to complete repentance. Look, you want to open up to your wife, God wants you to open up to your wife,, so, open up to your wife. Stop looking at porn! It's not like you accidentally bump into it, you're actively seeking it, making an effort. To not look at porn requires no action on your part. Pray to the father to make you clean, to heal you. Get CLOSER to your wife, lean on her through this. Don't go it alone. Talk to her, tell her what you're feeling, thinking, what's going on inside of you.
  12. I don't see God changing his mind, he was present when I made my vows, I'm pretty sure a state of monogamy was expressly spelled out, so NO, IT CANT CHANGE. Not if he's a God that keeps his promises, right? Again, I remind you that this discussion has an origin of my post about immoral sex, swinging, that kind of thing.
  13. Then I'll take my free agency and use it. I'll voice my refusal respectfully to heavenly father, lovingly, but I will voice and act upon my refusal nevertheless. AGAIN, I remind you that our conversation ORIGIN is about wife swappers, sexual immorality. You attacked my position of absolute monogamy, which is doctrine now. Your argument lacks substance other than an odd attempt to pick a fight with me. Kinda not knowing why you're carrying on.
  14. I just don't see God commanding me to bring pain and disrespect to my wife. Why would God give me free agency only to threaten me with an angel armed with a sword. Nah, not buying it. But again, we're not talking about polygamy here, you and are talking about the wife swappers, or that is the ORIGIN of this conversation between you and I.
  15. Oh wow... lol Nah, I'll take my free agency and use it, to which I think would be the wisest choice. I've already have a wife, I've got too much love and respect for her to do that kind of thing to her.
  16. Ok, I'll give you that. but we're not talking about polygamy, we're talking about swingers. and still, any man that would share his wife with another is still a punk. So, we've already received instruction from the prophet no more polygamy. This is our doctrine. Now, would you want another woman in your house that you would have to share your husband with?
  17. ANY husband that would share his wife with another is a creep. A LOW "man", an oath breaker, a pervert. One can NOT call themselves LDS and be a swinger, how they think swinging makes their marriage better is insane. You can't REALLY know your wife at all, if you're messing around or having another mess around with her. There's a friendship and trust that grows out of absolute monogamy. My wife and I were talking today about monogamy, I'm glad I can give her a husband who's body belongs to her alone. Such a violation would bring endless tears to her beautiful face. Nope, not happening. She's just too important to me, she's that person that I would crawl on my hands and knees through five miles of broken glass for to get to her if she needed me. A so called LDS forum where that kind of talk is not only acceptable, but the norm, isn't a forum worth visiting, who wants to read that kind rubbish? Bleh....
  18. I don't know what to tell you, other than I am glad I am not you, but you must understand that I have a huge dislike for complications. You are comparing yourself to a woman who has been abused, your situation has nothing to do with an abused woman, or an abused man for that matter. You're a married man, AND you have the hots for your sister in law to where you have such an attraction to her, you've created this thread. That's kind of creepy. What is it you think the LDS community is denying you? the second commandment is to not make graven images, what does that have to do with you? What do you want? Do you want for someone to come along and tell you that you're ok? This is ok?
  19. Oh no you don't, mister.... Nope..... Considering the below referenced gem of yours, you have nothing to say to her. http://mormonhub.com/forums/topic/63286-dangerous-affection-caution-long-post/
