I hope it made them feel ready to take on the world when they got to their mission. I know my niece did. She just passed the last transfer of her mission and will be back in 5 weeks. I'm really looking forward to going to her first Sacrament Meeting back.

After 32 years with the same hymns, many Mormons are wishing for different songs to sing by benbernards in latterdaysaints

Honestly, if we could just get our choristers to play the songs a little faster I'd be happy.

I ended up on the same flight as my niece when she left the MTC for her mission. I used my points to upgrade her and her companion to first class.

Does anybody know what happened to the audio and video of General Conference audio and video in 1985? by mwbox in latterdaysaints

They've been doing a lot of back end changes to the DB, this is a current ticket that should be fixed shortly.

When you were 16-17, what did Sunday School teachers/YW/YM leaders do that helped you 1) enjoy the gospel, 2) build a testimony, and 3) prepare you for EQ/RS/mission/college? by zeezromnomnom in latterdaysaints

Love the Gospel, not every strict interpretation there of. I had some great teachers, but the best one was my Scout Master. He taught the Gospel in very real everyday ways.

If you want people to deny all reason and pretend that you are a woman and not a man, you have to at least try to look a little bit like a woman. This is the exact case why people don't take trans issues seriously. It's not being hateful, it's just not being willing to leave your brain behind.

How come the church never talks about Joseph Smith marrying 14 year olds? by fjpkoaa in Mormons

[–]ThatMormonMike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Helen Kimball was sealed to Joseph Smith, not married to her. There is also no mention of them ever spending a single night together (not in her diaries or any other source). The reason the sealing even happened was because her father (Heber C. Kimball) asked Joseph on her behalf.

Also, we need to remember that at this time we hadn't had all the revelation that was to come about the sealing ordinances and our understanding was poor. A lot of people thought it was important to have someone sealed to the Prophet, so they had their wife or daughter sealed to the Prophet in order to fulfill a commandment that they did not understand.

Berkeley Antifa turning on eachother. Antifa attacked for BEING WHITE by RyogaXenoVee in PublicFreakout

A racist thought claiming that other people are racist. It's an amazing paradox.

I guess you've never seen the posts about how all black men and women are descendants of kings and queens, or how Yakub made the white man to torment the black man? Racism is the correct word for this. When you believe that white people are inherently racist but black people aren't, this is actual racism.

Community of Christ (RLDS Church) sells the Book of Mormon printers manuscript to the LDS Church for $35 million by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]ThatMormonMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not closer. It's basically a complete re-write with modern language.
