I remember " Darthy in her gargious arunge argundy farmul " 😁

Given the state of marriage today, I might be tempted to just send a card saying " Good Luck "

I'm just looking forward to having a full head of hair again . 😁

Having read the Doctrine and Covenants a time or two , I see that even at the start of the Church, there were ' groups' who went off on tangents spiritually to the detriment of themselves and others. Leave it to humans to go nuts. Daybell, Franke, Jeffs , Laffertys etc. are just the "Mormon " strange ones. Even the Buddhist monks got all hot and bothered sometimes .

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; Seems to me that was exactly what the " Johnson Amendment " did. Personally, I do not want the Church to endorse any particular candidate or party over the pulpit. Is it true that Deseret News presented an article about Mike Lee recently?

There is also the possibility that the Lord has a hand in it.

Might this have any effect on Hong Kong ?

Maybe this would help. 😊 Youtube , see Victor Borga punctuation.

Pretty sure it is not doctrine. As Nehor has said , it opens a serious can of worms.( yes, I know that was not what was ' said' )

If it is true, as some NDE experiencers report , that we got to choose our own life situation before coming here to mortality , then that would definitely impact the idea of " FAIRNESS " . Even the Church has said that we chose who would be our family. Maybe that idea is one of those " cats getting out of the bag " that Brigham Young spoke about .

So, it was possible for a spirit to rebel against God and follow Satan. I wonder if it is possible for a fallen angel to change and rebel against Satan and apply for a return to God , or is it one and done? Seems to me that God is big on giving second chances to those here in mortality.

I have found that old age shakes and fat thumbs makes texting on my phone dddiiiffficuult.

Then there is Enoch who, with his entire city, was taken up to heaven without tasting death and is supposed to return at the Second Coming. Also, the scriptures imply that Moses was taken without death. Personally , it would be a case of " be careful what you wish for " because living for about 2000 years and watching all your friends and family pass on etc. could get depressing, unless one was able to move back and forth between the spirit and mortal worlds at will.

Yes, my father told of two different occasions in which he interacted with a man that he considered to be one of the three. No healing was involved but other types of blessings followed their meeting. This happened nearly 100 years ago .

Can one repent daily of the same sin? If repentance has those 5 steps like we were taught in my youth, then I think not.

No it didn't. In my defense , the record of the lives and travels of the BoM 12 is quite sparse compared with the record provided by both scripture and secular sources for the lives and travels of the NT 12/11/12... I will pay more attention the next time I read the BoM, thanks.

Anyone here know of sources that speak about the families of Christ's disciples ? Any wives or children mentioned? It seems as though most were living hand to mouth as fishermen or whatever, so if they followed Jesus all over the land , what happened to their families if in fact they had any ? I wonder how old most were. Perhaps they were quite young and didn't have their own families established yet. It is possible that parents and or grandparents took up the slack. Maybe the Christian community helped out. As I have said before, I am re-reading the New Testament and these odd thoughts come out.

Their guardian angel is a " visiting brother/sister " who reports to Salt.. I mean Headquarters which then notifies the welcome wagon committee which then send the correct person to assist with orientation. It really gets complicated when thousands arrive all at once , eg. , a tsunami . 🤔

passport - bro ???? A neighbor 's wife passed away after 50 years of marriage. Within a couple of years he had married a lady from Thailand I think. He was about 80 yo at the time. Poor girl . Culture shock was one thing but climate shock was much worse.

Does this not imply intelligent choice ? Let me see if I have this figured out . " A rose by any other name would be a chrysanthemum. " 🥴

Currently reading " A year of living Biblically " by A.J. Jacobs. Interesting insights and chuckles.

What shall be done with the following? Mat 5 : 13 - salt Luke 9 : 62 - plow

A couple of those places outside of the US , I would be hard pressed to find on a map. The Church really is growing worldwide.

Just think, if the Church changes enough we might be able to join up with the RLDS/CoC and a few other splinter groups . 😈

If the Church donates the building to the school, then not only are religious classes being taught ON school property , but IN a school building. Many years ago in my area we held seminary in one of the town's school buildings. Nothing came of it. Now we have a totally separate building for seminary near the school but not on the property. Release time is approved.
