As for my earliest awareness of the problem...When I was 14 I had a great friend, lets call her sally...we loved to spend time together at school and away from school. My feelings felt different towards her than to my other friends so i was confused. We often held hands or linked arms as we walked around school or the mall. One time we were dropping her off after we had gone to a baseball game and she made a joke about kissing me goodbye and she gave me a peck on the cheek and I felt disappointed and confused. Soon after at my junior high some kids asked me if she and I were girlfriends and i was horrified. After that I distanced myself some from her. She was and is straighter than an arrow, so I probably hurt her with that. Rather than deal w/the confusing emotions and feelings i just tried to block it out and ignore it. Unfortunately though I haven't been entirely successful. There have been a fcouple instances since then that I have been attracted to females more than just physically. I always have tried to ignore the feelings and told myself that I just appreciated beauty and goodness in all people, that I was totally normal. But my body sometimes reacts to females in a way that i know it shouldn't. Not often, but enough that I can't deny it.

I lfirst learnt what sex was from one of the young boys that I grew up with on my street when I was in 5th grade so i mustve been 10-11. Shortly after that my mom gave me the very much dreaded talk.

I'm in my early 20's and although im for the most part attracted to the people I'm supposed to be attracted to, I find myself occasionally attracted to people I shouldnt be. It's really been happening occasionally since I was 14 although I didn't understand what it was until the last year or so. I try to ignore it completely but then something happens to remind me about it. Several months ago there was someone I was attracted to who I knew liked me but I pretended to have no interest that way, but i was tempted. I put it completely outta my mind but then today i was getting some candy from an aisle that also has magazines and the cover of one had an effect on me that it shouldn't have had. I feel so mortified posting this but I dont know what to do and I cant talk to my family or friends. I know my parents dont think its possible for someone to be attracted to both genders, they believe that people are attracted to the opposite or the same but I know first hand that isnt so. I can't imagine asking any of my LDS friends given the way they speak about people who are attracted to the same gender...and my non lds friends would give me advice contrary to my beliefs.... Its something Ive never heard spoken about in church so I dont know what Im supposed to do, if i'm supposed to do anything. Since I havent ever acted on those feelings, and never will, do I have to speak w/ a bishop? Like i said im almost always attracted to those i should be and rarely those i shouldnt but even so i cant help but feel guilty that i sometimes have those feelings. I can't help but feel as though something is broken inside. Anyways, any advice? Thanks in advance for any you may have to offer.

4) If either spouse is excommunicated or leaves the church voluntarily they automatically make the sealing nullified. This is a tough one because it also nullifies the sealing of the children to that particular spouse. However, if the one who left comes back into full fellowship they can have the sealing to their children restored. The sealing to the wife is only restored if the wife didn't have it nullified. My dad doesnt go to church right now but he says eventually he will but when he does that he'll be excommunicated. How is the sealing restored? Will my siblings and I have to go to the temple to be sealed to him again when the time comes? My brother isn't temple worthy so what happens there? Can the sealing to the wife be restored if they both want it to be even if they aren't married anymore? 5) If the mother dies the father can be sealed again to another woman if he desires as long as the woman he marries is not sealed to another man. Is there a reason that men can be sealed twice and women only once? and what happens to the first wife eternally? Is there polygomy eternally? well thanks for answering

I've heard from some people that men can be sealed twice and from other people that they can be only sealed once, which is true? I was also wondering what happens if you are sealed to both your parents but they divorce...do you remain sealed to both of them? In the past when I have asked sunday school teachers or seminary teachers I've gotten conflicting answers. If anyone can shed some light on it I'd appreciate it.
