Palerider Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'll bet you can guess which one is in use at the Mormon Nudist sites. I am sure we will all sleep better knowing the answer to this....:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builderr Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 google has re-spoken... I googled the phrase "bare testimony mormon" and got 53,700 hits then "bear testimony mormon" 35,800 hits. Not to start a debate...in my opinion....... If you keep your testimony inside you...you are bearing it...as in bearing pain.... and when you open up and let it out, exposing it...you bare your testimony. as you bare your soul just googling David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The search for "bare testimony" gives 0 hits.So I guess your google experiment just raises the question of how well educated are mormons? So the Church definitely has its preference. But in any case, I never really intended for this to be taken so seriously. I don't care if you bear or bare it, as long as people hear the great message of the gospel.

And with as many LDS blogs as I read, I can verify that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 that's cause there is no spelling test in the recommend interview..... i guess spelling doesn't have an impact on our eternal progression ..... which is good news for me.
