1) Truth that you COULD have known?

2) People that you COULD have told about Jesus?

3) People that you have not forgiven?

If "every sperm is sacred" and contraception is not allowed, then what happens to all of the female's eggs that don't get fertilized every month and just wash away with each period?

Is that not also a waste?

DO NOT respond if you do not allow email for my reply! Thanks! No chickens please!

The LDS church disfellowships anyone who is in a polygamous marriage.. So what does the D&C have to say concerning the LDS Church?

4 “…behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant and if ye abide not that covenant, [Polygamy] THEN ARE YE DAMNED…”(*Doctrine & Covenants,132:4)

“…no one can reject this covenant [Polygamy] and be permitted to enter into my glory…”(Doctrine & Covenants, 132:6)

Some LDS have tried to tell me that D&C 132 is about eternal marriage not polygamy, but they are put to shame by D&C 132:1 ". . . as touching the principle and doctrine of their HAVING MANY WIVES and concubines"

So everyone who is honest can see that D&C 132 and at least the first 6 verses are addressing POLYGAMY as an EVERLASTING COVENANT.

To put in bluntly, The LDS scriptures CONDEMNS the LDS church. So of course they are going to dream up a better interpretation/meaning for D&C 132..

When their Bible's second commandment concisely states:

"Do not make an image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."

This prohibits the construction or fashioning of "idols" in the likeness of created things (beasts, fish, birds, people) and worshiping them.

People includes "Jesus."

You know, The one thing I dont like is, Religious people they have "Freedom to religion"Yes thats true... But the opposite side also has the "freedom to express there self... And sometimes Christians and Others, get really mad at that. They can express there opinion.(Opposite Religion or non religous). Same as Atheist Speaking Against Christians, Opposite... So why do religion groups and non religous people get angry when the other bashes there religion. Freedom of expression.

This is my opinion but to me, Your kinda saying im Un-American not to give fellow people the same right i have.

Note: I could be taking Freedom of expression out of context....

If you dont understand, say you dont I'll rephrase it.

To me it seems a bit like being un equally yoked (the religions are so different).

Upon hearing of his cousin, John's beheading by Herod, Jesus tried to go to the desert to be alone, but the crowds followed him on foot. When saw this huge crowd, in the midst of his grief, he felt compassion and healed their sick and then fed them from the five loaves and two fishes with 12 baskets of remnants left over after feeding the 5000 men plus women and children (Matthew 14:12-21 and also in Mark Luke and John).

This touches me the most today because it inspires me to continue serving loving and giving regardless of how much I may be saddened, down, depressed. It also indicates that God is constant no matter how I feel and that others can be helped even if I'm not feeling up to it. To not turn away from the constant demands of the world just because I'm feeling like I'd like to have some privacy for awhile.

And..... do they watch you during "private" moments? Doesn't that sort of creep you out?

I was chatting to a woman and a man I meet on a chat room and later on the phone. As they are older than me, (I'm 27), the woman is 36 and the man is 39 I tought it would be nice to chat to older people. I don't know them in person. They two begun to ask me very personal questions about things that aren't her and his bussiness and they got vulgar and nasty . I got really annoyed and felt uncomfortable. I hung up on both of them and blocked them on the yahoo messenger.
Was I rude to them?

Everyone has a side that they show in public, and another that they keep private. Which side should be used to judge us?
