Today and tomorrow, I will be watching the October 2009 General Conference.    Many people watch this over the television, or by streaming conference from the official LDS website at www.lds.org.   There are also archives available if you miss the live streaming broadcast.  The conference goes today at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm Mountain Standard time and also tomorrow at 10:00 and 2:00.  Don’t...

Here’s a cute video explaining some common myths about Mormons, or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This video is for anyone who’s ever heard anything about Mormons and wants to know the truth. Some of the myths that are dispelled include the myths about Mormons practicing polygamy, not believing in the Bible, not being Christians, and so forth. Watch and find...

This LDS General Conference is one of the best I’ve watched.  This morning’s talks were all so fitting and comforting for these tough times that we’re living in.  With topics ranging from dealing with the addiction of debt to standing strong in the face of trials and adversity, this was very inspiring and uplifting.  I can’t wait for the next session at 2:00 MT.  If you...

Big Love is a show on HBO done in very poor taste, weaving Mormon themes throughout the show.  According to TV Guide, they are going to expose what they believe to be the sacred temple ceremonies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Judging from what they have done in the past, this is likely to be an inaccurate, apalling, crude portrayal of something that members of The Church of...

“If you could break one Mormon rule, what would it be?”  Last night, I heard my son speaking on the phone and he repeated the question as if to say he was shocked that it was ever asked.  He thought about it a while and then answered, “I guess Caffeine, cause some of those drinks look really good.”  I really didn’t mean to hear him, but it struck me strange that someone...

LDS Churches have very conservative music rules. As far as which instruments are allowed in the chapel during Sacrament Meeting and what styles of music are allowed, I think there are few churches with more conservative views than the LDS churches. Although each ward is run by the local bishop, the First Presidency has set guidelines for all LDS churches across the world.  For instance, there are...

Watch Video The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, sometimes called the Mormon church, is a Christian church that stands apart from other churches. To understand The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, you need to understand its origins.  Joseph Smith, a fourteen year old boy, went into the woods and prayed for an answer and saw God the Father and Jesus Christ in person.  He wasn’t...

The signs of the second coming are being fulfilled all around us.  I’m sure the second coming is going to be soon.  Maybe not next week, but it feels like it is just around the corner. So,  I will outline what has been prophecied to happen before the second coming and you can see for yourself how close we are.  This is taken from the book, Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie Apostasy Restoration...

My son is getting baptized on Tuesday and it has me thinking about how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a little different from other churches.  Many churches baptize infants.  Why do members of our Church wait until they are eight years old to get baptized? Well, let me start by saying that we get baptized to follow Jesus Christ’s example when he was baptized in the Jordan...

Potato Will Soon Be A Stamp for Wrapping Paper Here it Is Yep, I know it sounds crazy, but we’re going to make wrapping paper out of potatoes tonight.  Every Monday night, we have a family night activity, which sometimes is just hanging out with the family, sometimes watching a good...
