    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    I never realised wearing skirts wasnt a requirement. I always thought it compulsary. This post was helpful Thankyou. With regards to the temple recommend questions. Is the interview supposed to be "divinely inspired" (cant think of the correct term) ie is the bishop or stake president...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    A little :) i suppose the question was more directed to Katz as she said she doesnt fully agree with the WoW being a commandment and being a necessity for the Temple. I guess as the Temple is the doorway to the celestial kingdom it makes the WoW pretty important. However the DandC say its a...

    Thankyou for sharing your story Jane! You are clearly a very strong lady. May I ask you to share your return to the church?

    Could you elaborate on the story of why you left please? Do you take your child to church with you?

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Yes! While I still have issues with both mormonism and catholicism, I believe one of them is the Church Christ founded, I just need to decide which one!! Others have got their good points like good worship music which makes you feel good but none have much truth of the gospel.

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Youve just reminded me of something I struggle with in both mormonism and catholicism. As both accept apostolic succession, they believe the leaders of the church have the power to bind and loose so you have scenarios where something which isnt actually a commandment from God is necessary for...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    While I am still trying to figure out some of my beliefs, I am against women as priests which is something anglicanism (Church of England in my case) allows. Its also a church that follows the wants of society as opposed to God. Its also odd that the CofE was basically created because one man...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    I see what you are trying to say but Im not sure.. I think its less that Christians dont view it as a commandment and more that we are all sinners who sometimes fall short especily ones that involve thought and not actions. Ive always thought that our minds are trickier to control than our...

    Is it true that the word of wisdom says that meat should only be eaten in times of winter, cold or famine? If so why is this part not followed?

    Jane, you mentioned that you were in a mixed faith marriage? Can I ask were you LDS when you met your husband? What faith is he (if any?). How do you find being in a mixed faith marriage as LDS?

    He is great :) When he does ask questions, I do have to remind him that he doesnt have to start every question with "this doesnt interest me but...." Ive told him that is my default assumption. Hes actually told me that he wouldnt mind if I decided to return to mormonism, his only concern is...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    Really random question.... LDS do not drink alcohol, tea, coffee etc. Obviously it is considered a sin to consume these things one self however what about offering non LDS friends and family a drink of tea, coffee or something alcoholic? I'm asking mainly out of interest as my husband is...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    For those who accept Christ in the next Life, I guess what I am struggling to understand is why they wouldn't accept him whole heartedly. They would be 100% sure there is an afterlife (as will be there) and therefore will know for certain what the "Truth" is. In order for the celestial and...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    If it's not too much trouble for you, detailed opinions and doctrine are always good. It wouldn't bore me. In terms of the oath of vengence, I guess it just seems like a sinister thing to have, to pray that God brings vengence on America for the death of the Prophet. Similar to the blood...

    Not my next question :) but it is to do with rings... Do most LDS couples not wear rings then? (unless they have a ring ceremony afterwards) Sorry for the brief post but kids need breakfast!

    While I was putting the kid's to bed, we had some sister missionaries knock on the door. As we were in the middle of bedtime my hubby answered and not thinking didn't invite them in (he knows I would always offer them a drink and food) but he asked for their number so I might invite them over...

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    What are your thoughts on the patriarchal blessing? Some say they are like fortune telling (and therefore bad), others say they are far too generic and the more detailed ones are due to the Patriarch knowing the individual personally? Is there a biblical basis for them?

    For LDS only...some tricky questions

    How well is the symbology explained? Im just wondering why so many would take it literallly if it was meant to be symbolic? Or is it more a case of a disgruntled ex mormon? Also does fairmormon explain things from a personal opinon or an official church persepective?
