The priesthood "issue" is one of the many things that can be explained by the emphasis on the family unit in the LDS church. Women have been given the ability to have children. Of course there has to be a sperm contribution from the man, but the woman has the biology to carry a child and then...

Apparently our ward/stake is behind the times.

Impressive. It always gets defaulted to the YW here. But I still stand by what I said about it being split between the YM and YW. YM and YW are at the age where they need to learn how to be an adult and how to raise a family. That requires the YW learning how to do some of the things the YM...

And I don't think I've ever seen the EQ or the HP take this duty on.

Faith in God is a primary program.

My personal belief with the trash is that it is an old traditional view of men and women's roles. The young men take out the trash and set chairs up/take them down while the young women do all of the babysitting at the adult functions. I personally would like to see these basic duties shared...

Back in the 2008 election, I am fairly certain that "low information voters" is, in part, what won Obama the White House. The good majority of the population that voted for him did so because he was black and would become the first black president - and because he was a democrat, rather than a...

We need to teach people how to buy food that will feed them for a whole month. Both those that abuse the system and those that need it are all making the same mistake. They buy way too much junk and frozen dinners. They use all of their money on food that will last two weeks and the last two...

Fixing the education system would require the leaders to also be really looking out for the population, and not so concerned about the money going into their pockets. High school teaches the students nothing that will help them in the real world and that's where college is suppose to help, but...

Yeah, I was pretty young so I only really have fleeting memories but my family has been good about telling me about it. I asked my parents about it today actually and turns out I not only had fluid around my lung but around my heart as well. They had to remove the protective sac around my heart...

From start to finish (including ICU time) I was in Primary Children's for about 2 weeks. I think I only had the drainage tubes in for about a day. As I said, hopefully they know more about it now and have better ways of treating it. On a good note though, they told me that I would get pneumonia...

Had something similar when I was like 5. I also had fluid around my heart. I suffered from the stuff you described for about a month before they caught it via x-rays - and even then they weren't sure what it was. They checked me into Primary Children's and was in ICU for awhile and then they had...

Never been there thus time of the year and wasn't sure how cold and snowy it got there. Thanks for the info.

My understanding after reading through a significant amount of threads is that (according to certain members) everyone on here is racist.....so I guess I'm in good company!

I knew it. Those dang Mormons....

Is it just me or does Carroll kinda look like Worf from Star Trek?

I laughed when I heard they wanted to change their names to the pelicans. And I would agree that it sounds like something a youth league would name their team. Is it just me, or has all the creativity been extinguished when it comes to naming teams? On another note, and probably in bad taste...

Santa Cruz and Monterey are pretty great places. The Monterey Aquarium is a great way to kill a few hours for sure. Yosemite and King's Canyon/Sequoia National Forest are always great options too if you've never been there before - but might not be all that fun depending on how young your kids are.

I know that I'm getting off topic here but what exactly is your understanding on the LDS church's stance on women?

I suppose I agree with that point there but both as you pointed out, experience the same struggles. The LDS church believes that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God in part because it gives the couple to ability to procreate. Two parent families, and specifically a mother and a...
