And another thing... people trying to win me back to the fold love to go to the Uchtdorf talk about "doubting your doubts". Does this even make sense? Didn't a young Joseph Smith have doubts about the churches of his day? What if Joseph Smith had doubted his doubts? What I'm really getting is...

100% agree with you. In presenting my concerns to church leaders or other members, I've heard "The Gospel is perfect, but the members are not" far too many times. I accepted it for a while, when I really wanted to be able to reconcile my concerns, but now it just sounds like a cop-out to me...

When my wife and I were young and newlywed, we took a short hiatus from church activity. At some point we decided we wanted to get back on track, so we scheduled an appointment with our bishop to review what we would need to do to get our temple recommends renewed (they had expired). We had no...

I ride and have owned and tinkered with motorcycles since I was 16, but I've never built one. That's on my bucket list. Sent from my iPhone using JazzFanz mobile app

Be true to yourself. I'm a simple guy, but I think the highest quality women don't need to see a flashy car for you to get your foot in the door, so to speak. Girls that are drawn to flashy cars are likely high-maintenance. But again, I've been married for two decades, so I don't really know...

I'm a Utah fan, and was saddened by the passing of LaVell. He was a class act. Sent from my iPhone using JazzFanz mobile app

As has been mentioned before, mormons are heavily indoctrinated as to the sacredness and specialness of temple garments. They (we, I should say... I am an active, garment wearing mormon), as a group, can be very defensive about them. Personally, I'm not. They're sacred, not secret. If...

The people that seem to have the strongest opinions about prudent and appropriate parenting are frequently not parents themselves. I am not talking about cowhide, specifically. Just a general statement. Sent from my iPhone using JazzFanz mobile app

"The media" is a business. Their job is to sell advertising time/space. Merely objectively reporting news will not draw an audience. You have to manufacture the drama that will keep people watching or reading. A polarized audience is the best thing to ever happen to "the media" Sent from...
