A family friend's son in gay and out and works as a home decorator. He's comfortable with his situation. A number of years ago he got pretty sick, some thought it was HIV. Anyway, he got better and I ran into him at a family function. He said things were pretty rough there for a few years but when he got through, he said he wasn't afraid of dying. He figured out that God didn't want hi

Can you imagine if China did sell their US bonds? The country buying might make China float their currency to market rates. Chinese goods would go through the roof, jobs and manufacturing would flee China and go to some other country, maybe even come back to USA. We'd have to be the good guys and give them aide by borrowing from that other country. The cycle needs to continue.

Since many on this forum live or have lived in Utah, what is the straight scoope on Huntsman. He seems to be okay, but doesn't have any traction when compared to Newt, Mitt etc. One of the reasons I'd vote for him is that he was ambassador to China, so he knows the language and can talk to the people that loan us all that money so we can buy all their goods.

The revengeful,dominating God is from the old testment, which in from Judeism. The kind forgiving God is the new testment which teaches the wisdom of Jesus. The OT was words to keep the Jews whipped into shape, Christ came to teach that that wasn't the way, but loving God and loving man was the way to salvation. The Bible is the work of people that had their own axe to grind and heavily influe

I believe "another guy" hit the nail on the head for me about not wanting to vote for Mitt. 99.9% of the Mormon people are good and honest, as least all the one's I've met. It's the top leadership from the President/Prophet, the 12 and 70, etc. that I don't trust. I'm an outsider but know just enough that I don't know how much control they have over Mitt or Huntsman and the result

Back in the late 60's when I was first esposed to LDS, the family I became friends with discussed LDS and Catholic religion.

This is somewhat similar to Palm Sunday services in the Catholic Church. It's done to remember Christ's entry into the Holy City. The palms are blessed and handed out in a different building, then the congregations sing "Hossana, Hossana, Hossana in the highest" in a procession into the church.

Like any major change of life, look at the big picture. The whole world is open to you. Find out who you are. You've always been defined as your parent's child, your husband's wife, your children's mother.

Got a couple of questions on the LDS sealing of people so they can be together for eternity. If parents are sealed and follow all the rules and regs of the LDS church, but one of their kids don't follow the same path and doesn't make it to the CK, won't that make the parents very unhappy because the family isn't intact? Along the same lines, if one of the parents doesn't make it to the CK,
