SGoodman Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I've been around for a couple of days now (thank you, Pam) and I think I'll stay so here's my intro.I'm Jewish, a convert to the Church. Missionary to France and married a French girl I met there. Raised a house full of daughters, last one is still at home, the others are in college and out of college. I'm pretty good at the intellectual parts but fairly dense when it comes to the Spirit (audible voices and angelic visitations work pretty well but "still small voice" just rarely gets through).The rest we'll learn about each other as we go. theSQUIDSTER, pam, Vort and 1 other 4 Quote
SGoodman Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Posted October 9, 2015 About 35 years now, and still the only member of my family. It's tough to convert a Jew. Quote

Sunday21 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Welcome! Are you from the tribe of Ephriam or a Levite? I had a Jewish convert friend who is a Levite. She mentioned that there were some special priesthood privileges for Levites but she may have been joking. welcome Quote
SGoodman Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Posted October 9, 2015 She was talking about the fact that one who is identified as a decendent of Levi automatically being the Bishop of whatever Ward they are in. They are not required to call counsellors or hold the Melchizedec Preisthood in order to be Bishop.I'm neither of Levi nor Ephraim. I'm from Judah. Quote
