I've been trying to assimilate what the most recent changes have been to the temple ceremony, but I'm still not clear when or what these were. So, if I'm understanding correctly - and please correct me if I'm misunderstanding: - in 2013, they had a new film directed by Sterling Van Wagenen. - in 2019, they stopped using that film and switched to a PowerPoint? - and now, that version doesn

The Yoruba language is a Volta-Congo language, unrelated to Swahili or Arabic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_language As a non-speaker of Yoruba, I have used Yoruba lexicons to try to parse the meaning given in the article for "atofojowo" of "you can look at it for a whole day". It should be noted first that "you can" should be "o lè", so

We have urns for members of the family who didn't designate a final place of rest, and we have the European relatives whose urns are in rented niches because their custom is to only rent for the short term. It's unpleasant, but I'm pretty sure that we will be allowing the European relatives remains to be moved to the common urn, after we verify whether that's what happened to the ancestors who

"Pizza savers" are meant to keep the lid from hitting the toppings and thereby getting stuck to them. To quote Wikipedia: A pizza saver (sometimes referred to as pizza table, pizza stool, pizza bone, pizza chair, pizza lofter, package saver, pizza tripod, pizza nipple or pizza ottoman) is an object used to prevent the top of a food container, such as a pizza box or cake box, from c

There would be no difference between "His death is equal to the sacrifice." and "His death is equal to sacrifice."

At 5:45, I had a ring at my doorbell. Thinking I locked my husband out of our screen door, I went to answer only to discover an asshole from Pest Control from , Utah show up.

That's a serious question. With regard to the timeline, while I can't be 100% certain of when I acquired it, last Friday evening I was at a crowded largely maskless event; whereas, normally, I stay at home. It was an overconfident move on my part to attend, and I was emboldened by going two weeks before and having nothing happen. Of course, the attendance was considerably greater on Friday, so

The dent should have signed the care over to a dent while both were alive. Silly of them not to do so. I'm frankly a little surprised that the columbarium hasn't figured this out, but as long as someone pays, they don't care whose name is on the account, it would seem. Tyson

Some distant relatives' remains over in Europe are in a marked columbarium niche, that is still technically being rented by one of the decedents. We have friends in the country who have been paying the rental fees on the space, but they're old and think we should stop paying for the niche and have the ashes moved to the common columbarium. For obvious reasons of cultural differences, this is a

Taking a cue from Amazon, the church can open LDS Hub(ris) Lockers. Your temple recommend opens a locker that is specific to just you! It has the name of the person you're going through for, a set of Jesus jammies, and a set of one-use codes that are sent to your phone to unlock even more fabulous kingdoms.

Also, my condolences to everyone else who is still bearing their own grief. I know that my mother very much did not want to die alone. She told us this repeatedly, and it's one of the things that makes this hardest. In the hospital, while she was still awake, we know that she called out repeatedly for my brother who took care of her. At some point, the staff gave her something to calm her down

"confused in arizona" needs to recognize that his own family and his wife's family, as well as their friends, business associates, and ward members all have a stake in his family maintaining the appearance of being believing members to reinforce their sense that what they believe in is right.

Asking these questions will raise red flags with them about why you're having questions and doubts, and it will prime them to try to drive a wedge between you and your spouse.
