Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Originally posted by nikuman View PostI don't think they do everywhere - there are some countries, IIRC, where temple marriages are not recognized. In those cases, they waive the year, if what I have heard is correct."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

I also think this would make temple sealings even more special."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Of course, the young idealistic recently returned mission FMCoug thought this was great. But in hindsight ... not so sure I would do the same thing."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."
