    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Basically the master builder left a helpline! The issue I'm having is if there are scam calls and whether you can be sure it's the helpline vs a scam?

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    What's funny is that I would probably have done the exact same before I had kids! I'm a kid at heart (went to Disney for my 21st for example) Is the well the Sacrament?

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Yes my headache is much better today thank-you! I'm hoping to be able to catch up on some posts and pay closer to attention to some of the points you are all making (although I also have to clean my house!) Just quickly, I wanted to say I know that you probably feel like you have already...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Evening all! I've had a killer of a headache today so while I have read all of your posts (and thankyou so much for them!), I may not mention all the points in this post. I'll have a reread over them tomorrow though and come back to any bits I need clarifying/expanding upon etc. OK to make...

    The Second Anointing and Having Your Calling and Election Made Sure

    I know I'm not supposed to reply to others post on the DIR but Katz, this is what I was referring to in my thread with my second question. Watchmen there is an article on lds.org and also FAIR http://en.fairmormon.org/Mormonism_and_temples/Second_anointing...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    There is one list here....http://wivesofjosephsmith.org I'm not sure if that link is a critical site or not though. I couldn't remember a name so just did a Google search for JS wives. It lists the women who had a living husband at the time of marriage to JS though

    Thanks Katz, I always enjoy reading your responses! I wish I could have yours and Jane's confidence that there was indeed an apostasy!

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    I wish the apostasy (or lack there of) was self evident to me! The problem is I tend to be able to see both sides and what one person sees in a verse, I may see something completely different. The verses that Katz quoted along with Jesus' promise: When I read them what I currently see is that...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you Katz for this! It does help! I can't see how the verses indicate that God would remove the priesthood from the earth though? Also I know how a Catholic would respond and would like you input if that's OK? They would said that these verses are referring tk a falling away at the end...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you Katz, Clear and Orontes for your replies. 1) Apostasy! Can we go back to the beginning with this please? (Sorry Katz, I know we have talked about it before). I know LDS believe there are Bible passages which point to an apostasy? Which are these? And why do you believe they mean a...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    OK so I have been thinking about what Clear said and what questions are on my own heart and in truth I think there are only two important ones that I need to consider:- 1) Was there an apostasy? (I think Katz and I have spoken about this before) 2) Can the Church (assuming true) declare someone...

    It's just one of the ordinances means something that I think only God should know.

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you so much Clear for your posts! You do make a lot of sense and they are very helpful :) The question surrounding the Temple is my own, the knowledge of the ordinance comes from ex LDS/critics as I never went through the Temple but it involves something I think only God should know...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thankyou Clear! Katz mentioned that you were an adult convert? Would you mind telling me your background and how you came to join the church? At the moment, there is one thing in the Temple that is making me a little unsure!

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you Katz, no I didn't know what a chiasm was so thank-you for that explanation! Just to put my critical hat on for a moment.. is there anyway Joseph Smith could have been more educated than people think he was? How often do they occur in the Bible? And is there a similar passage in the...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    1) yes I think that makes sense! 2) not very far :) I'm on about chapter 8 of 1 Nephi. I don't get much chance to sit down and properly read. Also as I'm reading, I am doing some background reading/research on what I am reading.

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Thank-you so much Clear for this very informative post! (I had to edit the quote to allow me to post!) I am reading the scriptures starting with the Book of Mormon so will get to the Book of Abraham at some point! :)

    Please do talk about anything you see on CAF in response to my thread there here! I appreciate your input and advice and there can't be a debate here :) Thank-you for this information

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Morning/Afternoon :) I slept better last night but my 3 month old was very noisy so she woke me several times fidgeting! Yes we have talked about quite a few of the points but I liked your idea of comparing answers so thought I would still ask the branch president. Well hopefully Clear and...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    I thought I would post the questions/comments I gave to the branch president.Some of them I have already asked here. I would appreciate any thoughts you have! :) some of the comments are copied from different sites or I have summarised the main points etc so may come across a bit more critical...
