  1. It's pretty standard for Church leaders to remove membership when member doesn't show up for the meeting.
  2. Church Councils and discipline requires witnesses. If the perp denies and two or more witnesses aren't available, then what's the council to do. And when allegations against a candidate first are raised the context of a political campaign, there is also a need to avoid getting sucked in to politics, which isn't where the church wants to be, nor where it is easy to distinguish accurate info from political hatchet jobs.
  3. I'm so sorry it's one thing after another. Prayers sent.
  4. I should have made it clear I meant that suggestion after you've given notice to everyone that was the next effort (Though I'm betting that some of the vehicles aren't actually driveable at all, so people could leave but that won't necessarily mean the place will be cleaned out._
  5. I don't understand what you are asking. You do know that In Brigham Young's time, he sent people to grow farms and families all around the Western states. In 8th grade textbooks he's often credited with settling the west.
  6. What if you simply fenced off the area and have a noise machine through the days and nights that make it hard to sleep? (Give some notice. Do you have to do the 30 day notice where you are?) If the problem is that vehicles they are using aren't driveable, then it will cost you, but you could simply tow them to the junkyard? Have you contacted the local homeless organizations for suggestions or help?
  7. I don't understand how church leaders can be so naive as to write on any member's behalf except about things s/he has actual knowledge about (I suppose he can look at how many times the rolls say he attended Sunday School, if his ward keeps such records) (and he can't do that to the extent he learned if from the perp's confession and/or the victims report). Doing lots of good things doesn't give you a pass when you do really bad things. Bishops who cave in to this sort of thing are just incredibly ill informed or equally wicked. It is so unkind and unhelpful to assist an errant member from avoiding the natural consequences of their bad choices (even if, or maybe especially if they have juice in a community that means someone will take them seriously. And when it happens it severely distresses the victims.
  8. Because you expanded what has been carefully calibrated discussion unilaterally in a way that hospitality before discussion with her didn't require. She's afraid you've abandoned your faith and maybe wondering if you're going to start drinking too.
  9. Well i watched the first moon landing. They didint stick around long any of the four? times they went 69-72. And just recently we got to see passing the moon in a new flight beyond.
  10. Well not a moment too soon to ditch "mormonism" as depicted. (which bears little to no similarity with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teachings and beliefs).
  11. I don't think we know exactly how and who was physically involved in creating all of what we know as the earth.
  12. I would have been so curious about how they get along together given what is happening and the potential risks for each of them. I'd be curious about how they got excused from war duty and whether they can even speak of that.

    Utah History

    For many years, the history of Utah was the history of the Church of Latter-day Saints: The second Volume of "Saints covers the history of the church from 1846 to 1893 The Centennial Collection is another source: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/734691
  14. none of which is scriptural but became part of the Catholic and thereafter other divergent faith participation over the years.
  15. There are members who participate in Jewish Seders, carry crosses like some do to mimic what Jesus experienced. We are free to celebrate however we choose. I can tell you that I've seen/heard of more sunrise services in the last five years. We break the bread and water in the Sacrament every Sunday, not just on Easter. And many of us do Easter Egg Hunts (usually not on Easter Sunday itself). We are more prone to celebrate the Ressurection than the dying on the cross part (which was necessary but which doesn't/shouldn't eclipse the resurrection.
