]]> Comment on Why Do Some Get Leadership Callings and Others Don’t? by Kim http://ldswhy.com/qa/why-do-some-get-leadership-callings-and-others-dont/comment-page-1/#comment-9317 Kim Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:44:18 +0000 http://ldswhy.com/qa/?p=718#comment-9317 The bishops and Relief Society presidents, etc. should not be as busy as they are. Ward members are to be agents for the bishop, who is ultimately responsible for the duties of welfare. Imagine a ward in which every member followed the bishop's spiritual counsel and served to the best of their abilities, in their callings and also in reaching out to serve in other areas of need. If every member was the kind of visiting teacher or home teacher they should be, all the EQ Pres, High Priest Group Leader and RS Pres would have to do is organize them. I feel that the people who are called to leadership positions are simply gifted at leadership, and they are expected by the Lord to use their time and talents to build up the kingdom, just as we all are. Excellent article. Thank you. The bishops and Relief Society presidents, etc. should not be as busy as they are.

The boys are nasty and self righteous, just like many adults. Is this the Christian way? I don’t expect people to be perfect. What is most important, compliance or acceptance? Would it be better if he stayed at home? What would Jesus Christ say? We already know this answer. He would preach, administer and love him regardless of dress. I go to the Mormon church because I think they need more Christians there. If my son were an investigator, he would be treated differently. He would be accepted and shown fellowship. They’d try to throw the white shirt on him later after a little cool-aid. BTW Our Bishop told my son it was fine with him if he wore a colored shirt or not, but he didn’t think it would do any good to talk to the rest of the boys. Christian acts can’t be legislated. Personally I don’t think he wants to sanction a potential trend. .

Whether they be living or beyond the veil, their word is scripture. In simple do you guys really think Jesus would would disagree with the asking you to wear a white shirt? Do you guys need Angels do descend? Please refer to the Definition of Faith. We love you guys we love your willing attitude to join what our leaders have asked of us.

You were not clear with that child. Outrageous and embarrassing. You devalued both kids and their legitimate question with your tone. If I were your child, I wouldn't want to come to you for anything ever again. Additionally, we can live forever in fear of stuff kids could do in any setting. Kids are kids. If they stray or get in trouble, it is doubtful that the world is going to end or they will permanently become evil.if the police get them, then they have learned a boundary and a consequence, and perhaps they will quickly learn the need for self-control. Fear-based parnting is far from protective. Talk to your child about realities, and remind your child that you have faith in them to be discerning, and you believe in them. That will go much farther than overprotection, fear, and sarcasm for everyone. As a parent, I would never write such pompous and sarcastic words to anyone.as a professional, that is way, way off.

It was at a sleepover that I was introduced to pornography and offered alcohol. This led to a lot of other difficulties in my life. Don't fool yourself that the benefits of sleepovers will outweigh the pitfalls and perils. We have members of our ward that seem to think they are above these perils and have paid the price with their children's worthiness. Only to continue to shrug off the potential same peril with their younger children. They make excuses like, "We require their friends to come with us to church." or "They have to kneel with us in family prayer." These are justifications for the risks they are taking and their failures to prevent sins that have occurred.

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:32:53 +0000 http://ldswhy.com/qa/?p=1266#comment-8002 I choose to remain sexually pure because I love God and respect His commands. I know that by remaining sexually pure I will be happy with my future spouse and I will be a strong worthy priesthood holder. I know from the experience of friend and myself that the law of chastity isn't just a restriction but something that brings happiness and trust in relationships.
