Not a disaster, but my brother is such a TMB it too many years before he would wear 2- piece garments. He stuck with the one-piece for years.

Why doesn't the story include any reference to the BoM? If BoM is a historically correct book why don't the scientists reference it? Maybe this question will encourage critical thinking, but I doubt it.

My wife and I has exactly the same thing happen about 2 months ago. I just had to give a prayer and she had to speak. She kept it about her dad and it was great. She was sincere all the way. I had no problem just saying a prayer to keep the peace. You will be fine. It's best to do what you have to do for your mom. It's all about her and you dealing with the grief.

My wifes father was a narcissist. Thank God he died recently. It was the best thing he ever did for his family. None of his kids can think of anything good to say about him. At the funeral all my wife's sister could muster was "I did not ever go hungry or sleep outside." She also couldn't cry - no matter how hard she tried. The LDS chruch was perfect cover.

They use the same "truth" crap in lower level science classes at BYU and try and lump religion and science together. This, of course, is totally wrong and does not work, but people buy it hook, line and sinker. If something conflicts with your religion, stick with the religious "truth" and someday (i.e, conveniently for them when we die) we will know the real "truth.&q

They already send grades to your bishop and stake pres. An action I think is out of line since the kids grade themselves. It's none of their business how my kid does in school. My kid gave himself a D because he did not do what they asked. We also got a call from a "trainer" asking why our kid had not signed up for next year. The cult in action.

I have a proven track record of using a specially selected "Y" shaped stick (all natural wood) to find oil, gas, minerals or water in the subsurface. It is 100% guaranteed to locate groundwater in the subsurface. To use, you hold the Y ends in your hands and then the other end of the stick points downward (all on its own) when you get to the right place where the water, oil or min

If that is true my girls will the president of the USA.

Yes, I've heard this. I also heard your thoughts can be read by other spirit beings, so if your grandma dies she might hear you when you cut loose with the F-bomb. One of the worst I heard was your stake pres will judge you when you die because Jesus is way to busy. You just darn well do what you are told and not think outside the box or you are bound for HELL!!!

My experience was somewhat the same. I just kept at it with little stuff as things would come up. For example, someone in the ward said they prayed and God helped them find their keys.

I'd say the lying 15 are a good example of evil. Lies they tell mess up lives on a daily basis. People divorce, go on missions and get killed etc., based on the lies the apostles don't correct and the lies they tell. They know the truth but lie based on ego, money and the need to be worshipped. If being a lair, hypocrite etc., isn't anti Christ I don't know what is. Can you imagine being
