For me, my father was desparately needed. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. I believe I can speak for my kids concerning their father. He...
I need a break from RF. I'm so tired of my personal beliefs being mocked, ridiculed, equated with mental disease, etc. I may look for another forum with less contention. I don't know. Maybe there isn't one.

It has really been eye-opening to learn about different ideas and beliefs. I have never before conversed with atheists, gays, and non-LDS theists like I have here. I have learned more in these last 6 months than I have in the last 10 years.
Every day I go online, without exception, my...

This has been an active topic in our ward lately, as there have been a number of us needing to hear that we need to improve and repent. As I've listened to the discussions led by our bishop and our R.S. pres., I realized that we all can apply it in different ways. I started out...

In my religion we have the hope of being with our family forever. And this has always been my greatest desire. However, I realize that my greatest desire should be to please God. To only want to do what would bring God, my Heavenly Father, happiness. Not to be thinking about any heavenly...
