Basic Rules of Dating for LDS Singles

Tyler — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 11:38:26 +0000

By Anne Clarke Let’s face it: dating in the LDS community is a little different than the world of dating outside of it. For one thing, LDS singles date with the purpose of finding an eternal partner – marriage is not just for the here and now. It is for all time and eternity. Also, [...]

A Mormon Missionary in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Tyler — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 20:10:21 +0000

A Mormon Missionary in Sao Paulo, BrazilBy J. Durrant I recently visited Diadema, a suburb of São Paulo. I’d heard of places like Diadema–fellow missionaries are always willing to talk–but I’d never believed people lived that way, that people could live that way. The roads were unpaved, symbols of poverty. There were no trees, no [...]

On Being a Mormon Missionary – A Manifesto of Faith and ReasonBy Jonathan F. Barney Sometimes during my studies in college and graduate school I felt as though I were some sort of mythological beast like the fabled Yeti or — to take something from part of the country — a Jackalope. I am a [...]

The History of the CTR Ring

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:04:58 +0000

The CTR ring has been a religious symbol of faith for the Mormon religion for nearly 50 years. The three letters meaning “Choose The Right”, inset on a green shield, have a rich history, and a profound, deeper meaning for many of the church’s members. Since it’s inception in the 1960s by the church’s Primary [...]

Unique LDS Dating Ideas

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:55:17 +0000

Ok, so everyone thinks that the asking out is the hard part. Yeah, it can be scary and rejection is tough, but what happens after the girl you’ve been eyeing across the living room during your YSA FHE says “yes” when you finally build up the courage to ask her out. What now? You need [...]

Gordon B. Hinckley Affirms God’s Hand In U.S. Founding

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 12:29:28 +0000

While serving a mission in Brazil, some people asked me why God chose to restore Christ’s true church in the United States. Trying to explain God’s motives is dangerous territory, his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not ours, but we know that he desires immortality and eternal life for all men. [...]

Mitt Romney Speech – Faith in America

Tyler — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:59:25 +0000

This speech was TOO GOOD. Check it out here: Loved it, couldn’t have said it better myself… I think it was a good thing that he didn’t get into any serious doctrinal discussion. He asserted that church members believe in and accept Christ as the Son of God and as the Savior of mankind. That’s [...]

Tyler — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:33:24 +0000

Doctrine and Covenants 18:10 “Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; ” The classic movie Johnny Lingo captures this principle as well as any other media I’ve ever seen. I love this movie – for all the cheesy acting and effects, the message is wonderful. Here it is, split into [...]
