Oh, podjo, that's proof of nothing. That makes no more sense then saying Hinduism and Mormonism are similar because the hold their meetings in buildings.

I will use this one in class today.

Your poor students, third graders learning from a blog online. Sad.

"They allowed us"?

"Forcing them to wait a year"...

There sure doesn't seem like there's much freedom to choose for yourself. And all the while "the people" were having their scaled down ring ceremony, they were afraid someone would tell on them. Oh brother?

Why do the members allow this? How did the Church ever get to the point where they feel they have to control so much about someone's personal life?

I remember one of the local leaders in So California used to teach prospective marriage firesides to the young adults. He used to teach that a "good" latter-day saint couple... one that was wanting to stay close to the Lord...would refrain from engaging in "marital relations" on Sunday. I hadn't seen this guys son for 20 years and one of the first topics that came up were the hokie firesides his father used to give.

Stand up for yourselves.

Having to have permission from the Church to marry...but only if you have a temple recommend. Yikes.

Never heard of the no sex on sunday deal, in fact for me and my wife, it's called "sex sunday".

Come on dude, stop with the bitter rants, your now moving into unrelated topics from your orginal point, just move on, either get back to church and give your kids the strong priesthood holder they remember growing up with, and who taught them the gospel, or move on and stop the bitter silliness that is only going to cause a deeper divide than I personally think exisist now between you and your children because of your bitterness. move on bro, move on.

Dubbs they are very similiar!! In fact they both look forward to plural marriage whether after they die or in secret/sacred while on earth. Correct good buddy?

LifeRocks, why haven't you had your name removed from the church records?

[Jaye, your posts are usually very thoughtful. However, you said something that bothers me, and please correct me if I misinterpreted your words. So, you believe in scripture/doctrine if it appeals to you, and then disregard the rest without thought about being accountable for that disregard? Are you a member of the church in good standing? '


Don't try to figure out Jaye, His beliefs are so full of contradiction it's impossible. He says he believes in the BofM, but then says things were inserted by Joseph for his own purposes, He claims to not believe in all of the D&C, yet follows the word of wisdom, except he drinks actual alchoholic wine for his sacrament, I could go on, but he's one of the fanatical outliers every church has.

Would you keep on the subject instead of attacking Jaye.

Oh, and speaking of the subject, where is the proof I asked you for on your claims about the Buddhist, Sihk, Jewish, and Hindu weddings?

Just from friends I've talked to over the years.

There you go . . . more lies.

Missionaries go all over the world, so it makes sense I'd have friends who have taught those faiths before, and know their beliefs. But believe what you like, makes no difference to me.

Makes me laugh that I give you links to the actual wedding ceremony details, yet you still won't admit you're wrong.

By the way, we're heading to LA in a couple of weeks to a Jewish wedding, in a Jewish temple. Imagine that!

Must not be orthodox, ask them if there's sect of the jewish faith that don't let non Jews in the temple, get back to me.

When are you going to admit you're wrong?
