In my part of Texas it's UPC. Texas is a big Country.

I agree with the concept but lol idk this generation shortens everything even if it involves their bff. Maybe we can teach our pc to convert our new ways so we can comply.

Just FYI I asked Elder M Russell Ballard divorce is not condemnation a divorced person can be a Bishop or whatever. He said he personally had approved many divorcees. There are however traditions to the contrary and sometimes traditions get in the way of Revelation.

As much as we don't want to admit it when it comes to songwriting, the number of hits and sheer number of albums Sir Elton John is at least near the most successful artist of the last 100 years.

You hit the nail on the head. We think it normal for an attorney to have 4 cases and charging all 4 coming and going for his travel time to where all the hearings are. We think nothing about the medical field falsifying bills to insurance because network discounts are eating their profit. We think nothing about insurance making a practice of underpaying on repairs if they think since claimants have no loan and may choose, legally, not to repair if it doesn't affect the functionality of the car. We think nothing of a law officer doing something not legal to catch a dope dealer. In every case we sell our souls, choosing occupational success ahead of keeping church standards The prophet preaches to all but too large a segment of us don't apply it to ourselves. The elect are going to be attacked more than anyone in these latter days. We are all just people who are that will be tempted to abandon Church standards. If you aren't ever tempted there's a chance you are already lost.

Entire countries teach killing Christians! I totally disagree how you minimize this and feel you are contradicting facts. The facts support my findings that the vast majority of Muslims have been taught since birth to eliminate non Muslims. You are only correct that the radicals that carry out the teachings are not the majority. But I find no evidence the majority think they are nuts. The majority will not condemn radicals. They remain silent even with the worst terrorist. I have watched TV host all but beg for condemnations of course even non Muslims justify bombings if PC. I agree they don't just disagree between denominations they have mass killings of each other. Of course the main stream media sugar coats things also. Soon Muslim holidays will be the only holiday in schools. It is crazy, in Germany government buildings are not forbidden to put up manger scenes, they are REQUIRED to have Christian decorations., In the US we stand for nothing. We are PC at the peril of Christianity. Our Education system teahes against God, without criticizing Muslims. Let them worship what they please but we cannot replace Christ just to be tolerant. Extremism has become normal, justified, and accepted to the point of being made fools of. We need to wake up...

The Muslims announced Christianity in the US will be destroyed and are teaching their Children this. Our Education system has converted to the big bang/spontaneous generation. The media is anti Christians. Christians are fighting each other over who is right. Seems this is a perfect storm. All churches seem to be struggling. The majority of the US doesn't claim to be Christians . It seems like we are entering a time when our children will be challenged from every angle

Does Cannon law allow for a priest to be a priest if they know he is a pedophile. I find no good can come from the ancient past but the world has a right to demand child protection. A man is not innocent until proven guilty. He is pressumed innocent... but we must do a better job protecting children Canon law are not.

All Christianity is a bad place, the time will come when we will be in hiding

One issue is opinion which is all it is. Anything written in a book other other than Church publication. Many things are not known as in Revelation when John was commanded not to write. There's a huge amount of writing not doctrine. We do believe the rapture as believed by many is not correct, I don't think it matters eternally. There will be the judgement "of the names written in the book of Life" I understand that is the final judgement and evidence Christians will be judged and rewarded accordingly. I don't believe anyone has a full knowledge of eternity. We only know God is love perfected. It is not helpful that we know more.

There is a line of demarcation

In the Church I am a member of their are no cheap seats. I am a thankfully a convert, and in the last 33 year's there has not been a stake priesthood leadership meeting I was not a part of . I have also been blessed to have met an extreme number of apostles living out side of Utah and Idaho. I am not trying to tell anyone how to do their job but it bothers me when doctrine is ignored even if it only in 1 out of 4 wards

We built a home for a burned out family. LoL this is my point traveling two separate stakes for 6 years I saw a drastic difference between bishops, and some avoided the poor and needy some went overboard. At judgement I would rather be the one that helped too much. My comments are just factual observation. Nothing to do with my finances. I have been blessed to be self reliant. I am extremely familiar with actual Church policy and it seems you have a great bishop.

Some still think that women can't say opening prayer and divorced can't be bishops LoL

This statement makes my point better than I could. It is amazing what people think they know.

LOL that is a good one funny how you can tell when people are assuming incorrectly.

The problem is in the Church there are many "unwritten orders of things" it's only those non doctrine rules I object to. If you are not aware the Church made an official statement that the General Authority that used that term retracted it. The Church says if it is not written it is not doctrine. You could write a book just on all the traditions and beliefs that are false docrine. Like you should never touch the sacrament with your left hand. Yes my stake president is aware and working to fix things in an orderly way

No cash should be but the only only limit on a bishop is medical bills you have a lot more fast offering given than here

Get used to it. A LGBQT from a Muslim nation will easily get a ticket ticket for asylum, we are going to be over run from all over the world and the national ratio will be drastically shifted.

The Church has changed its stance on medical marijuana to remaining neutral. The Lord doesn't change but humans do have to adapt. This is not new in the Church. It is not uncommon for the leaders to have to update their thinking they're human after all. The Church also donated to the fund to reduce LGBQT suicide. All of which is Christlike

The next big step is halographic conversation
