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

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

DH, I appreciate your efforts to monitor my activity on CS. Flattering. Please talk to YO about a rent deal. I’ll pay you each a little something for the space inside your skulls and for my lurking space here.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Originally posted by LA Ute View PostGotta be careful with that “I thought you said“ stuff. Try to keep up. I would like to see the church to stop marrying people and do only sealings. Very simple. Dayton-level language, in fact.

Originally posted by Moliere View PostSuper surprising. IMO, when a church meeting is pushed as being super important, it usually ends up being exactly that with things like new doctrine being learned."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by RC Vikings View PostI wonder if the church is worried that young couples will hook up before marriage and feel they are okay with the sealing because they are now married. I know when I was in my twenties I could have maneuvered that kind of thinking in my head because of my desire to get laid and the pressure of a temple ceremony.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”
