I have vista 32 bit on my computer and love it. Most compatibility issues with vista is the drivers are required to be digitally signed or they won't install. That has been frustrating but not a big deal as most manufacturers are putting out drivers faster now. I'm still waiting for my video card to be used to it potential however nvidia still hasn't released a complete version of forceware for vista. Other then that its a stable platform and has some nice features. QuorumPrez

My wife and I saw it last night also. It was funny however, it seems like Will Ferrel is into adding a lot of homosexual overtones in his movies. That would be a lot more funny if left out. QuorumPrez

We have been around for about a month. QuorumPrez

Have you visited the Official sites http://www.lds.org and http://www.mormon.org? You can read the Book of Mormon online at LDS.org. To answer your last question yes we welcome all honest inquiries. This section http://www.ldsforums.com/Learn_Mormon_Churc_f64.html has been set apart for that exact purpose. Oh and welcome to the board.

My sister went there when it was Ricks. She said she enjoyed it there. QuorumPrez

I think you kinda gave me the right perspective on this, thanks I will share this with my wife. QuorumPrez

We are hoping we can keep any contention off our board. We want to address the tough questions without the distractions. Feel free to start a topic on what interests you most. QourumPrez

You wont find many of those here if any at all. This will be a critic free area. However if you find a silly topic you want to address for the rest of the board to enjoy and perhaps learn we would love that. BTW thanks for your hard work and what others are doing at FAIR.QuorumPrez

All I can say is this interaction reminds me of the black knight in Monty Pythons Holy Grail. Prof. Peterson welcome to the board. QuorumPrez

I think it will be possible. Even more enjoyable.

I just don't really know where to start. Maybe I will start my own thread on it. QuorumPrez

Its been awhile since I've been in institute (at least 10 years). What are they teaching now is it the same? I don't remember much but is there a manual online I could look through? You know what I think would be neat is if they did what our old Gospel Doctrine teacher would do. He would give historical background information and theological interpretations of the stuff we were going over in class. It made class pretty enjoyable.

Your lack of faith disturbs me. I think things here will go well.

I couldn't agree more. QuorumPrez

I agree I added General Welfare to the description.

I was wondering the same thing...

Qoute "Selek" Looks like hes available.

Personally I believe Satan was part of Heavenly Fathers plan. If Satan wasn't part of his plan there wouldn't be any temptation or evil doing, which would mean there would no need to test us. As for the rest of the question, not enough has been revealed about pre-existance and the others worlds created. QuorumPrez p.s. What does the SSCE stand for?

I just wanted to add a linkback to a topic I started about FHE with toddlers.

Personally I wish this statement was false, but its so right on it kinda makes me sad. We as members should be more open especially when it comes to new members. We had a case where the older sisters were making "subtle" hints to a new convert that she should start wearing dresses to church, along with many other misc. comments. As a Priesthood Leader I get frustrated (since it could hinder my missionary efforts) since statements that people think as benign can really hurt people. They don't know everyone situation, it could have been financial or perhaps even a personal preference. In any case what should it matter she is still a daughter in Zion what she wears to church should not be an issie. Everyone's Sunday best is different. So a way I combated this was I went out and purchased a book for them introducing them to Mormon culture. The book is called Converts Guide to Mormon Life, it was recommended by a friend. I've thought about using my budget to purchase several copies of the book to give to new converts as a gift from the Quorum. Anyways back on topic. I believe we all could to better in sustaining new converts and be better at fellowshipping eachother.

This is a great observation. I do not believe it takes someone to get offended or thinking they really never had a testimony of the LDS church to leave. I think one unfulfilled expectation is to believe the Church Leadership is infallible. This is not the case whatsoever and I am sure for converts who are used to believing the Church leaders are infallible this is something that they may struggle with. QuorumPrez

Ask the High Priest group leader to give you a blessing and have your home teacher stand in the circle. That might light some fire underneath his feet. The church has always had problems with fellowshipping. Some people just do not like stepping out of their comfort zone. The good thing is church is for the people not of the people. Quorum Prez

Welcome to the board. Both boards have their objectives and will serve their distinct purpose. We hope you enjoy this board, and with the help of the MA&DB admins we should be able to create two distinct and healthy communities. QuorumPrez

I agree. In the scriptures it tells us that Adam and Eve and the animals in the Garden could use the fruit from the trees as their nourishment. This would not kill the tree. Gen1:29-30

You bring up some interesting points. I guess creating the habit of having FHE is more important then just giving up. Thanks for the tips.
