Lds/Mormon-controlled radio station KBYU ran an add for joining Freemasonry. It is established that lds temple endowment rituals are based on Freemasonry rituals. While Freemasonry has been superficially known to do good - people who have gotten out of it explain the darker aspects the higher...

As mentioned, in any social movement, there are positive and negative influences. The most negative influence, I have seen, as a result of the extreme feminism, is the deteriation of the basic unit of society - the family. Men/Fathers are being feminized, and their masculinity under attack...

What is the bible, but a collection of books (aprox 66) of writings of imperfect people, like you and I. What is sin? IMO, sin is incorrect thought and related e-motion and action. It originates in thought. Jesus taught the power of thought, (metaphysics like placebo effect) even over body...

There are 2 types of pain... 1. "clean pain" from natural consequences of loss or injury... 2. "dirty pain" extra pain we add to the clean pain, that makes the suffering greater, by how we personalize it. Joe, be careful how you interpret things and work toward establishing boundaries with...

Actually, women have been serving lds missions for ever 100 years. "The “real live Mormon women” were Inez Knight and Lucy Jane (Jennie) Brimhall, the first single, official, proselyting lady missionaries in the Church, set apart in Provo, Utah, 1 April 1898." Before that ^ women only...

With God, nothing is impossible... and we are children of God. Still... the way to progress is not shooting for what we know is possible, but rather setting goals that challenge us, even if we fall over & over. Scripture says, it's better we be hot or cold, rather than luke warm - or we'll be...

I'm of the belief that pain is an indicator that something is wrong. Physically, it can be pretty complex, with our many body systems working together so intricately & miraculously. Psychologically, it can be even more complex, because not only does does our physiology affect our moods &...

"...ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints." Excellent scripture, thank you for bringing this up. I have and do actively try to remind people of things of God. Sometimes, it's hell, honestly. It often feels very lonely because I put myself out there...

Hi Fatboys, No doubt there were times on your mission that you felt the spirit - and it seemed as if others did too. There are many great aspects of being part of the Mormon church... -A good sense of community (which a lot of people crave) -High standards (which is rare these days) -Family...

If I understand you correctly, you are having what seems to you as reasonable doubts, but others (or your internal judge) are condemning you for questioning. I can relate. I have learned to focus on what we have in common, and save my questions & doubts for those who are more open-minded...

I wonder if it might help to establish some goals and then from those goals establish a routine... For example (& this is just an example... ) 1. Physical: exercise 10 minutes before I shower - so I look & feel great! 2. Intellectual: Study Italy - for my trip there some day! 3. Emotional...

Everything DOES happen for a reason, otherwise it wouldn't happen. Often, we don't see the reasons, both spiritual and material. Some explanations are obvious... If you run full force at a brick wall, chances are it might hurt. If you exercise every day and eat well, you'll feel better & be in...

I'll ditto what many people have mentioned... this list is awesome! :clap: A similar list is the best thing I got out of therapy - because essentially how we think affects how we feel & we are the one primarily in charge of our thinking.

CHILD: DEVELOPING HUMAN BEING The child's heart begins beating at about day 22. Dan Hill Unborn Heart - YouTube We supposedly believe in NOT discriminating based on age... yet many are killing children because of their age. We supposedly believe in "LIFE, liberty & the pursuit of...

Exactly. Children: developing human beings, including those in utero. Those who want children to be discriminated on age and killed, all have not been discriminated so fatally based on age and have not been killed, but have been allowed to live to voice their ignorant, narcissistic opinions...

SINCE WHEN DO SEXUAL FETTISHES EQUAL "RIGHTS"????? Wake up people! This "diversity" or minority group thing doesn't apply to sexual fettishes. Science & common sense tells us that we are not born with sexual fettishes - they are learned, sometimes by uncontrollable issues like sexual abuse...

I believe that, based on what I've learned about friends & family who struggle with homosexual fettishes. A councelor I know lived in a predominantly gay area in CA & said that every single client with same-sex attraction had been sexually abused. Please, let's pray for children - they are...

Yes, it's very simple for most. Although, in cases of sexual abuse, some children will be turned on sexually prematurely. Many of those with homosexual fettishes have been sexually abused. It is really sad. But what is even more sad is many believing and spreading lies about sexual...

[/SIZE][/FONT] The bible does state very plainly for men to not lie with other men as if they were women. How much more do you need? Which bible are you referring to? The bible says nothing about "surfing the Internet for inappropriate contento sites." There are different types of sins that have different...

True. Isn't it amazing how such obvious truths have been twisted into lies and have been believed by even people who are otherwise logical?
