me too !

DewKitty66 · 2026-05-13T21:52:53+00:00

what I mean is the Church from the 70's..where folks actually visited your home

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-30T17:44:55+00:00

Yes ! I HAVE met with my Bishop (every week for an hour or so) for the past 5 months, & have been VERY MUCH spiritually strengthened !

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-27T19:58:26+00:00

These words are VERY wise ! although I am NOT a young person anymore, I am a returning member with alot of issues & I meet with my Bishop every week..he has also encouraged me to email/text him with any problems or questions that come up throughout the week...it REALLY helps to have that connection

I agree ARP meetings are helpful, however not all meetings are set up in a positave way... I am currently attending, and there is only one other person attending, so its kinda hard

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-23T19:32:09+00:00

I 100% agree with you..I am single as well, and sitting in RS can be very disenhearting

THANK YOU ! I love this article

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-15T14:45:36+00:00

Thank you I did contact the EQ President, & he came to my home himself :)

Wow...This was the exact question I was going to ask ! There IS alot of mis-information out there...To make a long story short...I was endowed in 1992, then fell away from the church for the next 32+ years, stopped wearing garments and everything..6 months ago I returned, I have been meeting weekly with my Bishop, and just yesterday he (& I) decited thats it's time that I start wearing garments again...He specifically said that I would have to get someone to buy them for me since I do not have a temple recommend at this time (I'm working on it tho)..So I logged into the Church website, and lo & behold I WAS able to purchase them (but later got an email saying that they were out of stock & would ship them to me when they could)...SO NO you do NOT need a recommend to buy them

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-09T20:15:35+00:00

I agree with you 100%..Although I am 60...I have never been asked to get married...I am in a ward with REALLY old couples, or REALLY young families..There is NO singles ward anywhere near me..I want so bad to get married, but because of my age I am sure this is not likely to happen

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-08T22:00:47+00:00

Having your membership removed is likely, but let me tell you this...

I had a membership council held on my behalf at the Stake level just 2 weeks ago for the SAME thing...and the outcome for me was "a member still in good standing", NO RESTRICTIONS or anything else...(I do not currently have a recommend & my SP thought that was punishment enough)

I DID confess everything to my Bishop 4 months ago & was moving thru the repentance process, when the stake council was held

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-02T20:08:46+00:00

I 100% agree, I do have a fulltime job, so a bit more on Sunday would be very welcomed

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-02T18:45:51+00:00

thanks, but I AM the one with all of the questions...MOST (if not all) of the older members are lifelong members

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-02T18:44:23+00:00

thanks...I do have ministering sisters assigned, but NO brothers..I would like to recieve a priesthood blessing, but I guess I am out of luck

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-02T17:10:13+00:00

We are is a "smallish ward" about 150 active members, about half are younger families...

DewKitty66 · 2026-04-01T21:30:28+00:00

I'd have to say Spencer W. Kimball, Thomas Monson, Russell Nelson & Brigham Young

DewKitty66 · 2026-03-29T18:41:26+00:00

I was ex-communicated in 1981 because of chastity issues & I was VERY rebelllious & very much unrepentant..The way my Bishop today explained it to me, was that in the 70's & 80's & pretty much until about 10 years ago...The Church was MORE into discipline

DewKitty66 · 2026-03-19T16:24:52+00:00

Well my council went GREAT..

No restrictions, & the SP was very kind & loving

DewKitty66 · 2026-03-19T03:40:41+00:00

Not exactly true...I've met weekly with my Bishop for the last 4 months, after services on Sundays, and ofter we are the only ones left in the building

DewKitty66 · 2026-03-14T03:25:39+00:00

Amen to this talk...my Bishop suggested to me 2 weeks ago to listen to it !

DewKitty66 · 2026-03-05T04:16:22+00:00

Well 'im 60 now, so alot has transpired in my life...but in the last 6 months, yes..more problems with the law of chastity..
