MorningStar Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I know I saw it mentioned in a talk that crying doesn't indicate that a person is feeling the Spirit (and lack of crying doesn't mean a person isn't feeling the Spirit). I've done a lot of searches and can't find it. Anyone know which one I'm talking about and have a link?Thanks!MorningStar
bluebell Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I remember hearing that as well but can't think of where.
Doctrine 612 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 i found this in the book teaching no greater call page 47 far right side i hope this helpedPresident Howard W. Hunter explained how we can discern different manifestations of the Spirit:
MorningStar Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 Thank you! I think that was it! Being someone who rarely cries, I really appreciated that.
mapman Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Here's the entire talk that Doctrine 612 is referencing: Eternal Investments
Doctrine 612 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 You are very welcome also if you have any more things that you are looking for i really enjoy playing a scripture detective.
MorningStar Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you! I often don't have the best luck with searches.
ElderDarionBevan Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 read preach my gospel, Chapter 4, under the heading a word of caution. he talks about it very powerfully in there

Pahoran Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Thank you! I think that was it! Being someone who rarely cries, I really appreciated that.OTOH, as someone who cries in Disney movies (yes, I said Disney) I have always understood that tears no not always mean a spiritual manifestation is happening.I'm glad Doctrine612 was able to help you out. I would only have been able to help you with a song, and I'm not sure it's entirely on point. (I was all right for a while...)Regards,Pahoran

You know, the part where he's cradled in his mom's trunk .....

bluebell Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Having your tears connected to your emotion 'bone' really sucks sometimes. I cry whenever i feel a strong emotion, regardless of what emotion it is. It's not only embarrassing but it's really hard to be mad and try to tell anyone off when you are also trying not to bawl.
ElderDarionBevan Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have noticed people have a teaching voice sometimes. this is where they change there voice to make it more spiritual. this practice is false, you cannot fake the spirit. you don't need tears to have the spirit
semlogo Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I know I saw it mentioned in a talk that crying doesn't indicate that a person is feeling the Spirit (and lack of crying doesn't mean a person isn't feeling the Spirit).

Anyone know which one I'm talking about and have a link?Thanks!MorningStarI've heard so many people start to get weepy before they even really start in with their testimony. I think it almost never has anything to do with the Spirit, but rather a manifestation of people being nervous and/or upset about something they're about to relate to the ward. Some people are just natural criers. I've never done it - not in church, anyway.
