@Mfam2018 Please please listen to @Just_A_Guy ! Please please either see a lawyer or make a police report. Failure to report where I live, could mean losing your child.
Wait what?

I can't find any reference to the Holy Ghost being a "god" or receiving a body during the millennium. I'm asking you to show me where you find that reference.
At the moment I am doing something else but I feel as though it might benefit you to do your OWN research brother. Like getting your gear ready for mission. Fill your lamp. 😄

Just clarifying. As proof of persons being born into mortality qualified as "gods" The Christ and Holy Ghost were offered as examples. One is the ONLY exception, per scripture, and the other wasn't born into mortality.
The Holy Ghost is a God. He will get his body during the millennium of peace if I remember correctly. He is a member of the Godhead and has already attained to that position by his love and obedience to God our Father.

Hi Coco,
Just let go of the hurt feelings. Go back to the gym, get a job that pays well. Get all of your finances in order and say goodbye. If you want to stay and suffer with him until he changes (if ever) then do so. At this point do what the spirit tells you to. One of my cousins was cheated on after already having 5-6 kids (don't remember at the moment) she filed for divorce, went to school and now is a well paid nurse. She is also STILL active in the church.

This is pure speculation, aside from Jesus we don't really know how our interactions in the premortal life effects who or what we are in this life. (exception we didn't side with Satan)
It is not speculation. With Patriarchal blessings you have the chance of increasing your knowledge of who you were and are currently. You may not know who YOU are, I suggest you take some time to do so. If you lack wisdom and you cannot find the answer who do you need to go to? You know the answer.

I met a widow who had converted to the church several years back, her whole family did. The husband struggled with the word of wisdom and they never made it to the temple to be sealed. He would relapse and go on drinking binges. On one of those binges he accidentally drank too much and poisoned himself; he died. His wife, a faithful temple goer, was distraught. She wanted her family to be eternal. She continued serving in the church and going to the temple. After some time after her husband's death she asked the brethren if it was possible to sealed to her husband. They took her request and ran it through the appropriate authority. It was approved and the brethren sealed the couple for time and all eternity (through Proxy) The temple President even told her he felt the presence of her husband. How you may ask: Why? I thought the scriptures were clear? They are. The Lord knows EVERYONE individually. He takes into account ALL things. Temple sealings are a safety net and you better believe that your righteousness DOES affect those around you. Especially your spouse.
Learn to have mercy and don't feel hurt like the righteous son in the parable of the prodigal son. He was ever faithful to his father and did the hard thing. He worked and toiled all the long days. He was wise and prudent with his inheritance. We remember what happened when the prodigal son came home and the righteous son found out.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found
If I could hug you all that have always been faithful I would. Don't feel robbed but rejoice in the joy or our Father. For His child was surely lost but now is found through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Plucked from the torment of hell because they chose to turn from their wickedness. I have always felt bad for this righteous son. Being myself a sinner/repenter I have always felt my soul ache for this character in this parable. How even as he walked in from working the house was buzzing with music and celebration. I can imagine him after receiving the news from the servant looking down at his clothes and hands, worn with work. Smelling his own stench of the days sweat, in the moment of hurt that through his hard work a party was never thrown for him. Lift up your eyes and rejoice. For as the father in this parable came to the hurt son and assured him of his inheritance so does our Father do with the righteous.
YOU WILL inherit ALL that our Father has for you and you will be prized throughout eternity by your posterity. You will be loved and celebrated by those who are closest to you; your spouse and your children.

Yes and No. We are able to retain talents learned in pre-mortal life. Some even qualify as Gods even before being born into mortality such as Jesus and the Holy Ghost. There are spiritual power houses in disabled and handicapped bodies. Some cultures emphasize education while others don't. There are geniuses in ALL races.

He needs therapy from a trained professional and spiritual counseling from his Bishop. This is not a normal kind of reaction. I think there is a good chance that he has been getting into porn and that has lead him to this. Linking inflicting pain with feelings of pleasure is a VERY dangerous place to go
This is a very odd comment. I really hope not. What boggles my mind is she is 5 months old. There is nothing that is going to be accomplished by smacking an infant. He has lost his mind. Is it possible for males to get a form of post partum? Again, he needs a time out before he does something worse.

Right now it would be best to have him go to his parents. The child's safety is the most important thing. He needs to go to counseling to see what is causing this disturbing behavior. If you go to counseling and mention child abuse and he is in the same home they may take your child into protective custody. Be proactive and have him take a time out.
He has passed his limit of being able to help your child cope with frustration. He is burnt out and needs a reset.

Feel free to look in my Man shack. I wrote a small piece about the issue you are fighting with right now.
I think you are being harder on yourself than what is really going on here. You are super young and wanting to be intimate is a natural course of life. Prior sinful behavior with another usually makes things worse so I hope in your case it is just you (don't respond to that). At this moment dig deep and forgive yourself. Like really. I really don't think anyone thinks poorly of you. If they do they have problems of their own. Talking to your bishop is fine. Take your Mom with you. Also not talking to the Bishop is okay too IMO (stone me if you want) Masturbation is something that no one else can make you stop. I suppose you can put uncomfortable mittens on... I think talking to your Mother is the best solution. I imagine she will be able to help you and lead you in the right path. If it is something that is SO out of control that you are on a masturbation Frenzy (multiple times a day, anywhere and anytime) Then yes, go to Bishop. He will pray with and for you. Maybe put your name into the temple. I would suggest going to the temple to be honest. "But, but, I am beatin my meat and and I feel evil" Exactly! you feel bad so that means you need to feel good again and get the strength you need. Serving the Lord and doing everything else that you can will help you get through this.
Everyone goes through different trials. NO ONE is perfect. EVERYONE is ugly in some way. It is meant to keep us humble and always close to our Father. Sometimes we just develop weakness here on Earth. We are mortal. This particular sin is one that can be overcome, thankfully. It will become a strength for you once you overcome it. You will feel confident and beautiful again. I know this will happen. You will be an excellent missionary. Just remember to lock your heart and server with full purpose. The Lord will bless you with a loving husband and all of this will be a memory you laugh about. Sin is not funny but being mortal is lol. So many things we have to overcome and make due on how to get things accomplished.
Best wishes, you got this.

It honestly can be to see if we'll actually do it. The Lord isn't stupid and knows the name is long. Let's try it out and see what happens.

Hey Chica,
First of all glad you are here 😄 second of all, stop being weird XD. You don't need a kissing fast. That will tone down in due time ESPECIALLY after marriage and all the kiddos popping out. Now if you guys are licking each others tonsils just cut it out. That is married kissing and my opinion doesn't have place during dating. That is the pre-grame show, the short story before the main event. Really not appropriate before you say your I do's.
You mentioned you being his first serious GF, so what? You want him all herped up and well acquainted with the ladies? He loves you and wants only you. Now to the scriptures you mentioned. I don't think reading scriptures is wrong but it will hurt if you break up. Also, Do you really want to read scriptures with all of your make out partners? "Reading scriptures right before we overindulge in kissing makes me feel SO righteous" Lol, look. There isn't one answer and EVERYONE has something ugly about them. Just love your spouse and all his tolerable ugliness because he is going to do the same for you.
Do you ever wonder why people celebrate 30, 50, 80 year marriages? Because marriage is a BIG deal. Learning to really love and compromise is a BIG deal. Dealing with trials year after year and staying loyal, faithful and loving is a BIG deal. Why do you think in order for a man or woman to receive the highest exaltation they must enter into the everlasting covenant of celestial marriage? It's a big deal and will most likely be the hardest thing you will ever volunteer for.
Also, if you are just getting bored with him or don't like him then do him and you a favor and politely say goodbye. If you are worried about having physical contact take over your relationship tell him to calm down and talk to you. Engage him in thoughtful conversation and encourage him to engage you by saying "I really want to kiss you right now too, however we have eternity for kisses. Talk to me and ensure me you are the right man that will help me and my children achieve exaltation. What is your plan?"

If you go to the counselor alone it cannot be his counselor also. That will be your own. For couples therapy you both need to be present on day 1.
His video game use is totally understandable. He is angry and depressed. He is shutting down. Having the prospect of never having his own child, it probably kills him inside. What he doesn't probably realize is that you may feel the same way. Devastated that you may not be able to have babies. His lack of affection as you mentioned comes from his family structure. My family gives hugs and kisses but also tells you when you are being stupid and are dressed ugly. So after marriage I had to make some changes and quick. My spouse comes from a family of professionals that don't often Express emotion or say what is on their mind. Lucky for me my spouse met me in the middle.
I think you both will work it out. Also if you take away his video games he will just find something else to do.

1. Yes. By having a strong base on the Gospel and Jesus Christ.
2. Yes. Just didn't go out very often with them.
3. Yes. Go to the singles wards

Hello all,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me with this. I converted to the church about 2 and a half years ago. I’m 21 now and really want to serve a mission, all my branch think I should and my PB said I would serve it.
The only problem is are my parents. They don’t like the church and call it a cult, then when I spoke about the mission they were not happy at all! I really don’t know what to do. I really want to be a missionary but I don’t know how to overcome my parents objections. They refer to the church as a cult and are atheist. As is everyone else in my family, they think it’s strange that a 21 year old believes in God.
Has anyone else had this type of experience? How did you overcome it? Did you persuade your parents?
Thanks,
Hi!
Congratulations on getting baptized. I hope this is the only major issue you are overcoming at the moment. Serving a mission will be one of the biggest blessings in your life. You will be stretched to your limits and become a better person if you lose yourself in inviting others to come unto Christ. It is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life, whether you keep in touch with the people you served or not after you come home. IL97, I know it seems hard right now, to move against the grain of your already established life. I admire your love and respect for your parents. It's okay for them to be worried about you, to want the best for you. It's okay if they have doubts if you are doing the right thing. At this moment it is okay and right for you to do what you feel you like you need to do. If the Lord is calling for the work, go. Go and serve faithfully. Your parents will be blessed for your sacrifice and service.

You saw the church's statement, correct? I've quoted a part of it below.
It appears our church leaders take the separation of families more seriously than you do.
It appears some parents are willing to risk being separated by breaking the law.

God's law is preeminent above all things, not mans.
I didn't say anything about ignoring laws anyway. I was just making the point, that both Conservatives and Liberals support laws that are anti-family i.e. anti-Christ.We believe in being subject to kings, Presidents, rulers and magistrates. In honoring, obeying and sustaining the law. One wants to temporarily separate families the other wants to terminate children when they are inconvenient
