There are women Sunday school teachers too.
 The governing of the priesthood bodies and auxiliary bodies are ordained as specific to gender whereas the service under those presidencies lies upon the ward members that God calls.
I was a primary teacher with my wife.  I know that there are exceptions but I always see men assigned to primary with a spouse.  I know that is not mandated though.

If they wear a black arm band, get a symbolic tattoo, or do a public service announcement that is standing for something.  Kneeling the national anthem because our nation is not progressing toward perfect equality fast enough is not going to work.
Any race in this nation must recognize that progress has been made toward equality.  Hoping for a perfect nation that accepts all people equally but rejects Christ is foolishness.

Neither will disrespecting the flag and the national anthem.

Sounds like you need to write your own Bible.

I actually consider this quite apropos.

I think the test is leftist values. Which is to say, the test is "love". The true love of Christ is the key to Sainthood. The false "love" of the progressive left is the obvious correlative state that deceives. How else could we look at fellow members and fail to see who is and isn't a true Saint? Pornography and the like doesn't cut it for me. No one aware of another, or even themselves, engulfed in that chasm considers such a characteristic of Sainthood.

Nope. @NeuroTypical tells me organic is quackery, so don't worry about that test.

Sorry if this has been said however, I did not read all of the comments.  
I try and get along with everyone in my life but I have always felt like i am on the outside looking in.  I am not a loner but I think I am annoying or off putting.  I don't feel acceptance from others in my life.  They are tolerant of me is how it feels.  So I think I am good with the Lord and that is my focus.    I think I am unified with others through Christ.  Even if I am numb to it.

Welcome, @LoudLizard!

Hi! @LoudLizard. So glad you are here! About @zil....She is an evangelical fountain pen fanatic. Hide behind the couch when she rings the doorbell! 

Welcome @LoudLizard!  I'd say, if there's one thing I've found echoed repeatedly on this forum, it's certainly that:

However, if you think it's well mannered, perhaps you haven't read enough of @MormonGator's posts yet.  

Met with the bishop today to have the blessing performed to cast out any unclean spirits within me.  I fasted and prayed for this blessing.  We talked for a little bit beforehand.  He asked if I had any concerns before he did the blessing.  I wanted to make sure that if I did have an unclean spirit, that it be commanded to not return.  I asked if it would be okay if I read Mark 9:25, and we did. I also told him I wasn't placing too much emphasis on the blessing regardless what happened.  He said he knew and understood why I was doing it.  He thought it was a good idea.  He said he didn't sense that I had an unclean spirit within me, but that he would rely on the Holy Spirit to direct the blessing so that it could be a blessing from God and not from him personally.
He said he spoke to the stake president earlier in the week asking if he should do the blessing. The stake president responded, "Absolutely."  The stake president advised him to make sure the spirits don't come back like we were discussing earlier.  The bishop said requesting the blessing was a righteous desire.  He cautioned that casting out an unclean spirit or evil influence has the potential to invite another spirit more powerful than the first. I told him I understood and he proceeded to do the blessing.  It was just the bishop and me present in his office.
The bishop began by blessing me that all evil influences in my life be removed.  He blessed me with the power to resist temptation. He blessed me with the capacity to command evil influences be cast out on my accord. The blessing acknowledged my struggle with pornography, and also blessed me to be a good husband and steward of my home. He blessed me that I may have financial security. 
And that was pretty much it. He did not specifically say "In the name of Jesus Christ I command any unclean spirits to leave this body and to not return." He did not feel inspired to say those words or something similar, and as he said earlier, he did not feel impressed that I had an unclean spirit residing within me.
So no, nothing cinematic happened during the blessing, but I am happy with the outcome nonetheless and grateful for the bishop and his service. It is nice to know I am in complete control of my own destiny, and that there is just one set of hands on the wheel!  I came home to my wife telling her, "The demons have been exorcised!", to which she laughed and asked for more details on how it went.

Thanks for the cautionary advice. I think I am pretty honest with myself to not place blame elsewhere when it comes to owning my mistakes. Regardless what happens with the blessing, I am trying to prepare myself the best I can for the repentance process, to have all the cards stacked in my favor to accomplish my goal of breaking my pornography addiction.  
Upon learning more about others' experiences with unclean spirits, I think it's prudent for someone like me to take advantage of the tools we have at our disposal. I'm trying to proceed with my addiction recovery step by step, not putting too much emphasis on any one thing.  Prayer alone is not going to get me there. Going back to church won't either. 
And yet, somehow, just recently, after a long time of being in the dark, my hope has been reignited. Maybe it's not a lot of hope, an honest reflection of my own history limits that hope to a small spark, but it's something!  I had nothing for 3 years. And for the first time in a while I attended church last Sunday and have full intentions to return again.  For the first time in a while I found myself praying to God.
The repentance process will work for me if I allow it to. I know I have to do my part.

I've already made a few comments on this forum so I guess I ought to introduce myself formally. I'm a life long member of the Church. I can't recall a time I did not have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, it just always seem to be there from my early years. In fact the time I did pray about the truthfulness of the BofM in my teens I got the response back "You already know its true" and I guess that is how it has always been for me with the Church in general. I served a mission stateside and have tried to be diligent in whatever callings have come my way. But lest you think translation is right around the corner for me I freely admit I have a LONG ways to go in getting where I need to be in this life. I enjoy studying/discussing the doctrines of the Church in depth and hope to find like minded people here as well.
