When you live in a smelly room for long enough, you eventually become accustomed to the aroma to the point where it no longer smells at all. They call it “nose blindness.” If you grew up in such a room, you may even develop a nostalgia and fondness for the smell when it’s absent. I view Christianit...

I have observed, from the sidelines, a change in the counseling by the bishop. I hear that it is at least the go-to suggestion by LDS family and fellow members. I also understand that the LDS church conducts its own, alternative AA/OA addiction program. From what I have been able to gather, the LDS ...

Times sure are changing. In a thread about David Archuleta leaving the Church, Juliann Reynolds is now criticizing the Church's treatment of LGTBQ members. I've said some rather harsh things about Juliann in the past, but I really applaud her courage for publicly taking this stance. I'm sure the ot...

Oh, just thought of another...

Fourth, Scott Grow--great, great guy.

So, for me, Big 15, 0 out of 2; 70s, 2 for 2, good guys.

Three come to mind. One was that I took Trust Law from Dallin Oaks at BYU law school. Much better person then than what I've seen of him as an "Apostle." The other was Vaughn J. Featherstone. Just an average Joe. Obviously was not going to get elevated to the Big 15. Third was M. Russell Ballard, wh...

Never Moss is what I put on my roof every summer to kill the moss.

I'm not too far from you, and moss and algae have convinced me: entropy is green.

The obstetrician when I was born made the decision--without consulting my parents--to circumscribe me.

I'm pretty sure you mean "circumcise," right?

yes

Now I have a question too... If Jane and Joe were sealed in the temple in life but divorced in life and they both remarried, are they able to unseal and seal to new people? Yes. But they have to get First Presidency approval to annul the original temple sealings. I wonder how she does that since sh...

Suppose of Jane divorced Joe, Jane went on to marry James. Then Jane died, not sealed to either Joe or James. Does the LDS church in its temples seal Jane vicariously to both Joe and James so that she can pick in the hereafter?

In principle, (according to the handbook) a man can be sealed to more than woman, so long as only one wife is living. (A woman cannot be sealed to more than one man, ever). So it stands to reason that a deceased man can be vicariously sealed to all the women he was married to in life, providing the...
