I seriously want a new calling. No more Weblos for me. I am going to request to me a member of the hit squad. What a SWEET calling. Good thing this Nevada pastor let me know it exists http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50434091-76/pastor-angle-church-reid.html.csp

NRA-ILA :: Countless stories of honest law-abiding citizens who have used a firearm to protect themselves, family, or business. Biggest thing in my opinion is EDUCATION!. Educate yourself and those around you what a gun is for and how to properly handle it. I will have to check out that supreme court ruling in DC. Sounds scary

You do realize by posting here you open yourself up to getting a house with a extra space for those on LDS.net to crash at while visiting the big island. I know a few who lived on Oahu and some loved it others didn't. However different island so truthfully not much help. By the way I am jealous of such an opportunity.

Going to the temple is like swimming. At first you are nervous, excited and have no real grasp of how things are done. Then as you swim more and more, i.e. go to the temple, you become more and more comfortable. You learn so much (a huge understatement) and get better and better. Soon it is something you love and want to do every single day. Just my 2 cents as I read the posts

Did not remember the time change until I stumbled around this morning, thoroughly confused by the conflicting clock times around my house.

Rudy is the first movie that popped in my head but since it is YW you are working with then probably not. I just typed in PG movies to google and one of the first links is to a site with 470 pg movies. After a quick glance, I see some decent movies there. For music there is clean stuff out there it just takes some looking. Although I don't know if it is still the case, Walmart use to only sell CDs that were clean in language. For young people it means listening to the "trendy" stuff but without the language. However i do believe the Biblical swear words are fair game. I am sure someone will soon come on this board and tell you to teach them how to chose a clean life and then the other stuff will come naturally. i absolutely agree with that statement but find that many people just need a push in the right direction and that includes showing them where to find the good stuff. Best of luck with that and if you are in desperate need I can give you more names of what i enjoy.

My feeling on this is that they will not send you home for something like that. What people often misunderstand is that the process of repentance is a loving action designed to bring people closer to Christ and our ultimate goal of returning Home. Having graduated from there I would be very surprised if they even considered sending you home. I have known of some there who had done things that they were not proud of, but were able to work closely with their BYU ward Bishop and continue in their education. I would encourage you to speak to your Bishop as soon as you can.

Also interestingly enough this is not the first time a QB from the rivalry said they hated the other school. Alex Smith "I'm much more into it this year," Smith says. "I really hate them. Playing in the game helped me understand. They are the most arrogant people. It's the whole church and state thing. They're the 'good kids'. We're the 'bad kids.' I didn't feel it in my gut last year like I do now." Oh the irony! Smith pays the price for knowledge - College Football - ESPN

Interestingly enough that if she was involved how come she never filed a complaint or has talked more of it? "Jamie Whittingham did not file a complaint with BYU Police and a U. spokeswoman said Kyle Whittingham would not comment on the matter." from the article Deseret News | 2 citations issued at BYU-University of Utah football game

See Unholy war rages on after final play as police confirmed Whittingham's wife was not involved or hit as previously reported. Amazing what can get in print without clarification. For a lighter side has anyone seen the videos of BYU and Hitler on youtube?

Those are all great books! They are part of my library. I am looking for more quick reads while I have five minutes here and there

Alright- I just had a great, cheeky post and hit a button and now it is gone. So now you are left with my watered down, cliff note version. If you have a few minutes to kill, where, other than LDS.org, do you go to learn more about LDS doctrine? I have plenty of books to read but am searching for more. What think ye?

Like a bad car accident, I did not want to watch but I could not turn away.

I agree with you on this one. I don't think that this is appropriate use of the missionaries time and is done without consent of those involved. Letters home are different as they are not available for anyone with an internet connection to view. The missionary may argue that they do this so friends and family can know what he/she is doing. However I would anticipate that the missionaries are doing this without consent of the Mission President. I just don't see this as something they would be allowed to do even on their p-day. However when I was in the mission field only snail mail was allowed so I cannot speak with any first hand knowledge of internet usage on the mission.

Why would you "doubt any of the people listed above became convinced of the historicity of the Book of Mormon through their own studies" Do you know them or their stories? How do you know they did not apply the same research into the Church as they did their secular research? You cannot say that but only project your own feelings about religion and science. For the scientific method you take a stand in your hypothesis long before you reach any conclusion. So it is absolutely correct for someone hypothesizing the Book of Mormon is true in the early part of their research before entering into the research phase. Surely you know this though about the scientific method or you would not have brought it up. This is where you and I will disagree. I can think of no greater evidence for an individual than to receive personal revelation that something is true. Also there is no "scientific" evidence that resurrection is possible and it defies all known science. I and millions of others except this as fact even though "science" may never prove it possible in this lifetime Once again I strongly disagree with you. John A Widtsoe, a famous Mormon scientist, who graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in three years, came up with a formula while praying for an answer in the Logan Temple. Out of this came two books on agrarian chemistry (page 5 of The Temple Where Heaven Meets Earth by Truman Madsen) There are other examples that I can think of but cannot reference due to a new child proof lock I put on the bookcase that is keeping me out as well. I would recommend key to theology
