  1. I haven't participated in anything but the OP, but I would like to describe what I consider "tithing funds": They are the funds that individuals give up 10 percent of their increase. It is not the value of the farms the church has bought, or what gains the stock market makes or investments into the SLC mall (or any other commercial interest BECAUSE NONE OF ANY OF THAT IS the individual sacrifice of the member or use of what the member could have spent themselves. I see any but the original amounts as what God (using His mortal proxies) has done (and likely far beyond what individual mortals could or would have done with the funds had they not tithed).
  2. My take is that if it took Widow's Mite such a longtime to figure this out, then it could represent "thought we got all of it": we stopped looking a while ago. Are we now completely square or is someone holding back some more concerns that they'll publicize down the road?
  3. Glad to know you are currently on an upswing.
  4. Doesn't this all depend on what we eat and how we regulate temperature after resurrection and what paradisiacal glory turns out to be?
  5. I'll put my pitch in for serving as a foster parent if you can, but that service is pretty darn hard itself because the system isn't particularly good at supporting great parenting (much less what most of us do most of the time which is our best parenting in the moment not to be confused with always something that works for a particular child.)
  6. I think the shrinkage is from making vast assumptions based on little actual knowledge/revelation. Yes, all of that IS/may be the logical extension of what we now know. But we obviously do not have have enough absolute truth knowledge to confirm it, so no one (and most importantly the Church or our leaders) should be officially teaching it.
  7. I thought it is pretty accurate and thorough. I wouldn't have used "weird" though.
  8. But the handbook instructions about garments (read at TR interviews) are clear that that is required. So there is an internal church disconnect of expectations. So do we get extra points for wearing them as much we can? Are we clearly not celestial material if we are more lax? Does it depend on why?
  9. I think the twin issues of culturally adopting a there is a one, who we are in mortal life is more important than who we are eternally are both part of how this thinking gets foster. See last 10 minutes particularly.
  10. Does it prevent someone from getting permanent residence status as a spouse? I don't think so, at least in every case. But overstaying a visa for even a day results in a 3 year bar, so go home during the process. Apparently waivers of the 2 year requirement are harder to get when your J1 program is paid for by government. https://www.lawfirm1.com/j-1-visa-to-marriage-based-green-card-rules-and-restrictions/ And what would be so bad about starting married life and a family in a foreign country, giving yor children dual citizenship?
  11. Our good acts do not allow us to commit any one else's time, attention, resources of finances without their advanced agreement. You buy them yourself. (You might ask for a bulk price. And you should hire people to place the books in the rooms or at least tip generously those who have do to that work too.
  12. https://www.boundless.com/immigration-resources/types-of-us-work-visas/ why not the permanent resident option? uscis.gov Once you marry, your spouse can apply for permanent residence and remain in the United States while we process the application. If you choose this method, file a Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e). Filing instructions and forms are available on our Web site at www. uscis.
  13. But that isn't what she said. She was describing how the man taught and described himself leading up to the wickedness (or at least up to when we knew about what he was actually doing).
