    Are Fathers Expendable?

    Please do not bring disfunction into this question. I'm talking about GOOD fathers. Is a good father expendable in a child's life? 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...

    Gotta step away

    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. I love the Church and the Gospel continues to amaze me. The Book of Mormon has...

    What would you think of the Bush Administration . . .

    if in 5 years, Iraq is independantly strong, stable and free, allowing it's people the rights, privileges and safety they never had under Saddam? If Iraq is a strong ally to the US, helping to keep non-friendly countries in check, and if Iraq has shown other countries in the Middle East that...

    RF has strengthened my appreciation and conviction in the gospel of the LDS Church

    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...

    Interesting comment in church

    A woman, whose nephew recently returned from Iraq, said that he saw some interest in the LDS religion among the Iraqis, because of the strong family values and morals, and because Mormonism isn't considered Christianity. They've been raised to shun Christianity as evil. Severe penalties...

    Forgiveness

    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...

    How Embarrassing!

    I stumbled upon this site www.religiousforums.com | Site profile | BoardReader that gives info on RF, and discovered that I have out posted everyone this week. I feel like the loudmouth at the party that everyone wishes would shut up. (Really, I'm not that talkative in person.) Obviously I...

    One of the good things about RF members . . .

    . . . is that most of you don't seem to hold grudges. Sometimes we argue and fight, and plenty of fur flies, yet we can meet up again in a different thread, and be friendly. I appreciate all of you for that.

    I'm a Church Widow.

    I figured out that in 32 years of marriage, I've sat by my husband in Sacrament Mtg. less that 50% of the time. That includes all the years our 4 kids were young. Today and tomorrow he's gone from morning till late night at Youth Conference. Some people in my ward think my husband doesn't...

    Depression in Women. Why is it increasing?

    I was listening to an interesting radio program discussing theories on this subject. Any thoughts why women are becoming increasingly depressed, when they generally have more opportunities today than ever in history?

    What is your greatest desire?

    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...

    Evidence of Saddam's connection with Al Qaeda

    "Claims that there were no links between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda are wrong. Documents just released by the Pentagon prove it. In March 2008, the Pentagon released a document that details some of the classified documents from Saddam's regime. This document called the Iraqi Perspectives...

    I had an epiphany in church today . . .

    . . . while singing hymn #21. Fourth verse, second line. "Yea, keep His law with all thy might Till thine election's sure,". This is similar doctrine to the popular Christian belief that all one has to do is accept Christ in one's heart and one is saved. Nothing more needed. The LDS...
