American citizens have been funding terrorist attacks in my country for many years,

so back to your question I do not believe it because I am a Latter Day Saint, not because its a sin:)

thats not being unforgiving thats setting a goal for yourself, chastity is important its a commandment. And if its something you want then you make sure you have it in your marriage relationship, don't settle unless you are sure Heavenly Father wants you to. If you were already married and it was an issue of adultery it would be different.

I can only teach you what I believe, I can tell you why being a Latter Day Saint is the right way to be, why it is the True and Living Church, how it will help you reach the highest eternal potential God has in mind for you, why Baptism and the Gift of the Holy Ghost will bring you closer to God than you have ever imagined, how the Bible and the Book of Mormon and any current revelation go hand in hand to increase your understanding of God, how the ordinances in the Temple will bring your family together and help you progress together, BUT I am not capable of converting anyone ultimately that is between yourself and the Godhead, until your heart is converted your doing what you can - your ultimate eternal progression is something only yourself and your Heavenly Father can decide. There is no point in getting baptized as a Latter Day Saint if you do not believe its the best way to God, for me that is probably a form of idolatry and would place you under greater condemnation

I don't know if you do, you are not married yet, are you chaste yourself and how important is it to you for you both to have waited? Decide that before you move forward, I had saved myself for my husband and for me him being chaste was an essential requirement, two people who have been chaste until they get married adds something to the marriage relationship that once one of you has had sex can never be replaced, its why sexual sin is so wrong. I went to a church fireside and they asked us to split the paper into 4 and entitle it my eternal companion, one section was must have, one was ideally has, another was rather they didn't have, and another they must not have. For me my partners chastity was a must have - where does it fall for you?

I guess I don't see how loving God with all your heart can be a sin, for me idolatry is when you replace God with something else. I don't think it matters what you call God as long as you are as true to God as you can be. If you are doing this Matthew 2: 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt alove the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. If you are not a Latter Day Saint you are doing the best you can if you are obeying the main commandments within the confines of your religion. Personally I think as long as those incorporate your worship, its doesn't matter what you call God.

Why do you worship it? Are you at that time loving God with all your heart to the best of your ability?

Good Luck you know your own abilities and go with your gut - I have had supernatural help in exams because ultimately if the Lord's will is you will get 95% and you are receptive have done your best he'll help with the rest

its one amazing building comes close second to the San Diego Temple for my favourite religious building. The spirit the Archbishop's have had that served the area has always been strong the one's I have met have been amazing. Can't find a decent picture of it at night at least they used to floodlight the crown from the inside and the light would shine out from the stained glass.

if you are living under a doctrine that teaches it because that is your best understanding of God the no thats not a sin. As a Latter Day Saint I do not believe it to be correct

it would only be a sin if you were LDS, and if you wouldn't be LDS if you believed it?

lol its in Liverpool no I wasn't Roman Catholic - I was very eclectic prior to my baptism, immediately prior to my baptism was probably not quite hindu/buddhist/pagan but have incorporated a lot Oh and we can wear a cross as a piece of jewellery I know some church members have family pieces - I guess like I have my Great Gran's sacred heart in my scriptures

The red ribbon came from the Christingle This is my favourite Roman Catholic building - the Holy Ghost is incredibly strong there I used to love sitting and praying the Lady Chapel was my favourite, it still is one of my favourite places to meditate and pray

its not very LDS of me but I do have a prayer space, hoping to have one in the garden when I move - right now it has a green plant to remind me Heavenly Father and Jesus created the planet and its beautiful, a candle to remind me that Jesus is the light of the world and a picture of the San Diego Temple to remind me my main goal in life is to return myself and my family to Heavenly Father, that we want to go home. I also use an oil burner and have something nice and smelly in it. I have a red ribbon on it to remind me of the atonement and that the blood of Christ was shed for me and I want to add a Water feature to remind me Christ is the source of life and will sustain me through the day

I often write my prayers when my brain is wandering and my fibromyalgia is bad - the spirit is strong and I have managed a prayer, also gives me a chance to read back over them

surely its simple by 1800s when the translation was made Lucifer ment Morning Star therefore it was an acceptable word to use to convey the meaning

my experience is you need to accept yourself - I am not bad looking physically in fact at school was probably one of the better looking girls in my year and I had one of the best figures, however I also have Dyspraxia and a rather odd outlook on life. My Gran and my Mum helped me love me for me - which is Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful is my favourite New Era poster. I found friends easier to make in different settings say a book group at the library, a chess club, somewhere were people are a bit geeky but generally more accepting of people for who they are even my Judo class. When I got to college life was a 1000 times better an odd taste in music, funky dress sense was what everyone else was trying out whereas I was practised it at it lol Your nose doesn't need to be a bad thing in your life it can be a huge part of why you become who you become. High School really doesn't last forever its easy saying that now, but at 33 I have been out of highschool longer than I was in it and quite frankly being a bit different has been an asset for more of my life than not being. i Think seriously about what you want in a friend you won't be the only one these idiots bully, look around find other people in your situation and look for a group of friends like that chances are they will be better friends anyway

I have been bullied for a good portion of my life in various situations I was very lucky to have a Gran that taught me that bullies only won if they changed you into something you want to be, like she said to me your vaguely pretty, your kind, I love you, God loves you and as long as you are happy with yourself nothing else is important and the bully is the one with the problem. My friends and I solved the bully problem by becoming friends, we pulled together everyone else in our year being bullied (one girl at 14 was still being bullied because she wet her pants in nursery when she was 3), turned out there was more of us than there were bullies:) left us alone after that its just simply a case of pulling together and showing that actually the bullies are in the minority and that when that is realised fear goes away and they looked really stupid. I am really glad I never changed or tried to - I accepted many years ago I was odd and never going to be normal, might as well be good at odd. However find many of the traits I was bullied for make me very successful as an adult. Bullies did change my husband in someways and its tragic to me to see as I know the man he has the capability of being. But never ceases to amaze me how many people at the top of their profession or in the public eye were bullied at school Its why we home educate - I don't want my children to have to choose between being bullied or being the bully, many people assist the bullies quite often unintentionally by helping ignore the geeky or odd child in the corner, whereas just by being friendly with them they can help stop the bullying or at least provide the person with some help. What bothers me is the amount of bullles that seem to become teachers, psychologists, policemen, nurses etc the caring professions seem to give them the meat they need in adult life. Bullies do not go for weak people at all they attack strength they attack the people that do not want to be one of the crowd or are not willing to change, they attack those that stand for good often those that have had early experiences with God (think some of Joseph Smith's experiences) - they need power for powers sake. I fought bullies all my life its the one at church that nearly destroyed me I already had a touch of PND when she struck, I was weak vulnerable and because we had been friends she had been trusted with all sorts of information that was used against me, it happened never in front of anyone else, and always in a confined space - I understand a teen not walking away I was an adult and letting her do it was stupid after years of putting up with it, I heard a sick awful rumour she was spreading and something snapped all i said was why would I listen to you about my parenting wouldn't want my children turning out like yours. She used another bullying technique and decided to ignore me not speak to me whilst mentioning to anyone listening I was going mad. She has done a bit of a childcare course and social science degree, counselling course, NLP etc her daughter did psyhcology and now helps her Mother to bully all their study has done has improved their ability to bully But I feel very sorry for her and any bully - ultimately they have to face Heavenly Father and my experience they often pick on people that Heavenly Father seems to have a good relationship or soft spot for, I know when our Branch bully went for one certain old lady and then my daughter she cooked her own goose, so I have been praying she repents - as Heavenly Father doesn't half seem to dote on our Ellie the only time she ever gets rained on is when she prays for rain like when she has new wellies - whjen she loses it he produces it after a prayer - wouldn't want to be the person that abused her

i'm in inclined to believe BY was not involved because it was a BBC documentary I saw and downplaying is not the BBC's style - for a TV news department they do well with impartiality but they make up for it by always reporting the worst case scenario they can get away with (they start with highest possible number of deaths and then after that the news only gets better lol) - if they felt the evidence for Brigham Young sanctioning it was good they would have said so. I don't know but I think MMM comes from the same human reaction that keeps a baseball bat by the door or bed for intruders or the women during WW2 that slept with a knife under their pillow (my Gran never did, but many women did) - and me there is a reason my Mum took the golf club home out of my shed lol I had the death of my nextdoor neighbour planned down to when I would do it. I won't do it but its a fight in myself not to - she has put in place actions that have could have killed or maimed my kids on at least 2 occasions and one little girl was treated for smoke inhalation would be very easy to justify it in my mind as keeping my children protected - or maybe my husband could shoot her with the same motivation attacking her men folk wouldn't work people have tried that she tells em what to do. I am reading more about MMM right now because my own situation is giving me a deeper understanding of the men that did it than I ever expected to have. And I know people watching my situation find it more shocking than I do living in it. My brother wants to kill the people involved because of us, and many other people have offered. I think saving the children has a much simpler explanation they were children and men weren't evil just scared and justifying their actions as they were protecting their families - the children were no threat

its a family choice - personally I allow my family to smoke in our home, alcohol is restricted to occasional ofbeer or glass of wine, I'd rather my kids got to enjoy what little family we have

been praying for nearly 17 years on subject guess its not time to know what. There isn't much in my patriachal blessing have never compared it with others but its a lot shorter in length than any others I have seen, also not much to misread lol but this is my biggest paragraph, it does say much prayer and meditation lol

its free at point of delivery not free

txt soek by grown ups I have one 40 year old teenager on my facebook page, lovely lady but everyone else I have speaks liked a growed up

glad to hear it maybe we should move lol solve my church problems

If the spirit is not present somewhere all you will have is contention and its not worth it
