Chinese take out sounds like a wonderful tradition. Everything else takes so much time to prepare you don't have time to make dinner. We eat Chinese take-out on Christmas Eve, too! I think this is a local, micro-tradition. There is a great Chinese take-out in my neighbourhood, and it also saves us ...

We also had an issue with my oldest, the black child, at church. He was consistently, routinely being bullied at church. Several children were involved and we had made repeated complaints to the Bishopric about it. My eldest child was bullied at church, too. He sounds a lot like your child - mild-m...

Did you tell the bishop you visited the 'Mormon Women Bare' website? H. He didn't ask. I don't have any problem with images on the Net. "God" seems capable of seeing all in all without succumbing to physical temptations. At least that's the assertion we get from scripture. I reckon we are...

It's rich when those who heavily criticize the church and it's leader (you know, the same people that believe "that all this was brought into existence in six days by an imaginary magical Sky Daddy?") try to invoke humanity by chastising someone for calling the prophet cray-cray. Own your...
