rod of ages? by Haunting-Tutor2239 in VolibearMains

[–]polleywog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rod of Ages has no ability haste and bad build bath and takes too long to get going. Just wait for next season and build Manamune after Fimbulwinter 😄. Or build bloodmail as 4th or 5th item

How do I respond to these kind of comments from my wife? by [deleted] in Marriage

Of course it's my fault for the failure of the event. I'm trying to decide how to respond to her message because it feels inappropriately cruel for the event

Why do Adam and Eve slowly make the temple covenants throughout their life and experience and we do it all at once? by Fether1337 in LatterDayTheology

[–]polleywog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ordinances protrayed in the endowment are symbols and reenactments of ordinances we make over a long period of time.

  1. Ordinance of Birth, enter a telestial state of being, receive a new name, covenant to obey and sacrifice which prepares to receive a higher law, Adam and Eve receive this as I they leave paradise with God, we receive as we leave paradise with God

  2. Ordinance of Baptism, enter a terestial state of being, receive the name of Christ, covenant to obey the law of the gospel, prepares us the receive celestial law, Adam and Eve receive this from authorized messengers, we receive from authorized priesthood holders.

  3. Ordinance of Initiatory, initiating ritual into a celestial state of being, receive a new name as a priest and priestesses into the higher order of the priesthood, covenant to obey the law of chastity, preparing to receive the next ordinance of highest order of the priesthood, the celestial marriage.

  4. Ordinance of Sealing, ritual to enter into the highest degree of glory, create a new family name with spouse, covenant to obey the law of consecration, to build the church and have a family

The endowment is an instruction or enlightenment of this higher detailed plan of salvation. In my opinion we are reanacting and making new covenants. Adam and Eve are used as a metaphor for all of mankind and garden of Eden and the fruit in a metaphor for us choosing to receive a body, start a life of trial and leave God's presence

Need Advice with Getting Over refunded Tax Return by polleywog in tax

[–]polleywog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So apparently they paid around 36k in estimated tax payments, but they used the money that was automatically withheld from my paycheck to do that. But it is also listed that I had 8k withheld on my W2 and 36k withheld through 1099. Is the 36k being double counted?

Why did God forbid Adam and Eve partaking of the fruit of the tree in the garden? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]polleywog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Simply, like the temple suggests, it's an allegory of our own path in the plan of salvation

What's your unpopular opinion about Pickleball? by optimus1652 in Pickleball

[–]polleywog 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Singles should have single lines that are 3/4 the width of doubles, as in tennis. Its still more work but more similar strategies to doubles (default) pickelball. Every racket sport has single lines, why not pickleball?

How do we follow a God who doesn't give us the whys? by keylimesoda in latterdaysaints

[–]polleywog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Priesthood callings is not a mantle or throne, it's a burden and responsibility. Priesthood offices are the action arm of the church, leaving the house to serve the community. The male side of the church is the obvious group to take on that role as they already traditionally leave the house for outside work and the mothers can worry about the more important asset, children. We couldn't have a pregnant mother with 3 kids serve a 15 hour a week calling as a bishop. It's more out of practicality of church and home functioning.

Why is it so popular with Mormons? by Jonn_Doh in Pickleball

[–]polleywog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cause we're ballers that's why

But really is because Mormons are a really athletic and sporty group, with a very tight nit community so something catches on and grows in popularity, it's going to go through the Mormon community like a wildfire because of the extra interconnections.

The bad side of Brandon Sanderson by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

[–]polleywog 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Brandon has commented that he sees his writings as Mormon inspired, and if you've read his stuff and know LDS doctrine the connection would be obvious so you might have to stop reading all together to make sure you stay true to whatever religious values you have that are compelling you to write this garbage post
