I'm feeling much better this morning about it. I talked with my wife and my sponsor about it. I also have a meeting already scheduled with the bishop this week, so I'll get his input as well. Thank you all for letting me vent a little . I'm still open for more suggestions, also.

That's a good point. I am not contemplating going into any detail of my sins. I'm worried more about saying or referencing excommunication or rebaptism.

I just received a text from a bishopric member asking if I can speak in two weeks on the topic of the Atonement and Repentance. He also mentioned the other person speaking. She's someone I know has also been re-baptized. (in case anyone isn't familiar with my past I was excommunicated in 2019, and baptized again in 2020). Speaking in sacrament has never been a very scary thing for me in the past. I'd get a little nervous, but no real issues. But thinking about this topic now, I'm near a panic attack thinking about being vulnerable enough to share anything from the last 3 years with the entire ward. I know I don't have to, that I can go at it from an analytical, doctrinal view, but I get the feeling that I'm supposed to, or need to, take a personal approach. It's really got my spinning. I haven't even responded to him yet. Any advice, thoughts, references, examples I could share, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

It's in the Geneva Convention

You pass on passing judgement on the past? So passe!

Maybe he meant 'holey' war, referring to BYU's defensive line. BOOM!

Your doc should call Sigourney Weaver! I hope you and your wife get better soon

Classic! That's when comedians/actors could also sing. Moranis and Martin were excellent.

Do you mind if I ask what ailment you and your wife have that it was prescribed for?

I admit I just scanned the article, but I didn't see anything that said they didn't try Ivermectin.

My wife and I read through the Ensign Liahona together as our companionship study. I think because it's always 'new' it helps us be more engaged. We discuss the ideas and principles presented in the article we read.

I had a companion on my mission that pointed to Acts 2:20-21 saying that ALL things needed to be restored before the second coming will happen, including polygamy. I pointed out that polygamy had already been restored.... And then stopped. It didn't change his mind, but it makes sense to me. It needed to happen, and now it doesn't anymore.

On my mission, in Oklahoma, we had a "don't ask" policy about immigration status. I can't speak with any experience on this topic, but I could imagine a similar policy about plural marriage status in some countries. Not saying it's right or not. Just that I have personal experience with the church purposefully not asking a specific question.

Because COVID is contagious. 🤷‍♂️
