If I don’t have a recommend how do I buy garments? Can my wife just buy them for me? Am I not supposed to wear garments anymore? Katzpur wrote:Superb example. Interestingly, I bet nobody tried to convince him that he was “blessed” by being “allowed” to have more time to think about getting baptized.
I’m curious about any comments the class members may have had on the subject, or did they all just fail to make the connection?
There were no comments making the connection with the Nov. Policy. That was just the first thing that came to my mind when I heard it. It was a good lesson and many people shared personal experiences of why the sacrament was important to them. I was able to share an experience I had as a Priest. I lived in a ward that was half comprised of a retirement community. There were 5-6 that needed the sacrament taken to them each week. I grew very close to those people and found greater appreciation for the sacrament as a teenager.
Welcome. I served a mission in Wisconsin from 1998-2000. I spent time in Janesville, Green Bay, Beaver Dam, Appleton, Madison, and Milwaukee. nibbler wrote:Sure enough, I just went to the online store. They have mid-calf (regular Gs but longer) and then the full length thermals. Men too!
Personally I’m waiting until they make Gs that have the footed bottoms before I restock.
:angel: Funny story about thermal garments. I got my mission call to Wisconsin so for my first order of garments my mom ordered regular and a couple pair of thermal. Well, when I went to the temple for the first time she grabbed the thermals by accident. I’m a big guy to begin with so I don’t need any extra layers. We’ll just say I felt the Spirit of God like a fire is burning.

sdj welcome to the group.
I wish the brethren and TBMs would realize this would be the best approach to those questioning. I just needed someone to say “I understand”. When the response was “This is from Satan” it made the Church seem so
cultish(I don’t think that is a word 🙂 ). I imagined one of Warren Jeffs young soon to be brides questioning the FLDS faith and being told “Those feelings are from Satan”.DarkJedi wrote:Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting your introduction. I also like watching science shows and documentaries -they actually give me more of an appreciation for God the Creator because it’s truly amazing what God did (no matter how it was done).
Isn’t it interesting how the same thing can be processed and viewed in different ways. What is interesting was that it would effect me like that BEFORE I had my faith crisis. For me I think it was getting my mind blown by trying to understand the size of the universe. Then I would ask “What is beyond our universe?”. “Are there countless universes?”. “If existence is so vast, then of course we exist simply because there is limitless opportunities for us to exist.”…
:crazy: OK I need to stop thinking about it. Anyways, thank you everyone for the welcome. And I have to say DarkJedi, when I first started looking around this site months ago your posts really stuck out to me. I admire your thoughtfulness and wisdom.
