They certainly are required to have a temple recommend and maintain a standard of behavior. The kind of guy JAG is talking about will have a lot to answer for. Man, it's just like being at home.

There is also a sort of divine precedent to communicating with walls, although it was written, rather than verbal (Book of Mormon | Alma 10:2) I am Amulek; I am the son of Giddonah, who was the son of Ishmael, who was a descendant of Aminadi; and it was the same Aminadi who interpreted the writing which was upon the wall of the temple, which was written by the finger of God.

Don't you find that little nugget of information intriguing? I am dying to know what happened in this incident. When I returned to church I read through all the scriptures in hope that more scriptures would be released. Did not work obviously!

Not sister wife material and refuse to wear those homely handmade dresses! I used to live in a prairie town near to many Hutterite communes. The women wore incredibly intricate beautiful handmade clothing. My sister would buy crafts from the women. At age 55 the women would retire no more housework!

Some of the best people I know swear like truck drivers, and some of the best people I know do not. I am convinced that swearing has it's place. In mixed company or with people that you know will be offended by it? Keep it clean. In private with your buddies or close personal friends who you know real well? Knock yourself out.

I've always tried to avoid swearing because it can become a bad habit and sets a bad example for my friends who aren't believers. Followers of Christ are too be the salt and light of the Earth (Matthew 5:13-16). I don't think swearing "shines the light" of Jesus. Here's what Paul said about it in Galatians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." zil and Sunday21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. You shouldn't curse, it's a bad habit and not polite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 We aren't just talking about swearing, though. We are talking about someone employed by the church who works at the temple, who is bound to a code of conduct, swearing at work. In earshot of an investigator, no less.

I don't think you should curse on temple grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
