I have a bit of a problem. I can't remember if the name I have in mind is my wife's or my ex-wife's. If it's my ex-wife's I'm not sure what my wife's is.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostIt's common knowledge that people in the same session have the same name. I just dislike that I know my wife's, but I can't tell her mine. But, mine is that of a schlep, so it's probably best that I'm not associated with someone whose example from the scriptures we shouldn't follow.
Hopefully at the real veil they have a guy there prompting me if I forget something, just like in the temple.If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

Because its the only place sacred enough to perform certain ordinances.....well temples and the Mississippi River....and the red brick store.....and the endowment house.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostWhy have temples?"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

And a handful of wilderness areas. Ensign Peak comes to mind immediately.

Stake President and I had another 45 minutes, mostly talking about my lack of faith in priesthood blessings. He also signed my recommend."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

If that is your main objective, you are sure going about it in an odd way.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostA temple recommend."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

There is nothing wrong with being honest and authentic with your priesthood leaders, just ask Portlandute. But you have to realize that you are throwing the dice and you may walk away empty handed or worse.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostIf that is your main objective, you are sure going about it in an odd way."Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.
