You clearly don't know what's actually happening at BYU. If you knew what half the "BYU Professionals" were saying you would not have come back.

@@velocirapture89 Conflict is inevitable, contentions is a choice. I know exactly what is going on at BYU, and I would still come back. It is not about them, it is all about my relationship with my Savior, and to never give up the good fight. What is clear to me in the church today is that we actually NEED conflict. We need to struggle and wrestle for our conversion to Christ and His Gospel. Being agreeable and conciliatory will kill us as a church. We need to stand for truth, not for "niceness." Disagreements and even constructive arguments in church can help all of us recognize spiritual truth as well as deception. It takes love, patience and long-suffering but our relationship with the Savior will help us to lead with love.

What a Beautiful reply filled with Love and Truth! Thank You ! And.,.. Bless you my Unshaken Brother! Thank you for sharing your Beautiful Testimony ! May you continue to be strengthened. You are not alone. We will continue to pray for Bro Hal

@@jamesclemmons That was a well-written reply.

He’s my bestie too😊

Por favor no escuche los comentarios negativos de aquellos que no se quieren ni así mismos. Son huestes perdidas.

Lo siento que están pasando por eso. A mi también me ha ayudado mucho.

Satan hates faithful lights! He stir up the hearts of men to have contention and anger one towards another. Jared refuses to get angry at his haters. He loves more deeply, and sincerely. ❤️

I just share one opinion: Speaking as a never-married woman who is getting older enough that I have thought for a long while that I might likely be a second wife---everything, "all that intimacy means," isn't that different from what God wants for the relationship between Himself and any of His children, or any eternal parent, as we someday hope to be, would hope to have with any of our infinite number of children, except for physical intimacy (eternal life is knowing God); and having a grandparent who is sealed to two wives, I would hope that the intimacy they each have in their individual relationships with each other would continue and be enjoyed in eternity. And if I marry someone who has his own relationship with another wife also, I wouldn't and couldn't be in on their own relationship with each other, but as love is something as a concept and quality that grows to infinite size, my husband would have his own intimate relationship with me, and nothing about his first wife's relationship with him should have to be in on ours, if we each know how to love each other. And the fact that my husband (in such a scenario) has his own as-intimate-as-possible relationship with his other wife doesn't preclude him from having an as-intimate-as-possible relationship with me, same as if you were able to know God completely and be on the same wavelength as each other and there wasn't anything you didn't know about each other, wouldn't mean God couldn't have the same with another child of His, right? (It's asking ourselves questions like that that might sometimes let us see just how loving we are or assume God is, or see how limited our love currently might be toward someone else...if we are really loving people, we love the idea of everything we and God have being able to be the same between God and as many of His other children as possible) And since I would hope to be so loving, and understand how intimacy works, that according to what is proper between each different specific relationship with each specific other person or being, I can be as close as is appropriate, and I would hope others would understand that too--well, provided that I were a plural spouse, but in eternity, let's say the other wife was the one who didn't like the idea, it would be her choice to be separated from that, and that is reflection of her own feelings and choices and is acceptable; but that doesn't mean I would have had a hard time being a plural spouse with her if she had wanted that, and provided my husband decided to stick with me in that case, I would still get to enjoy being his wife; if in some scenario, he decided not to be my spouse after all, then things would be arranged differently, but same as in this life, where I have been in this situation more than once with men--I can still be willing to make a marriage work with someone if he will choose me also; it's dependent on him to choose me the same way I would be choosing him, and if we are both choosing, we can get somewhere together; if I choose all day long (which is what Dogs is doing) but he doesn't choose on his side, then there won't be a relationship. Not all plural marriages that existed on earth, and not all monogamous relationships, will exist the same way in heaven; but those who are eligible for eternal marriage in heaven will be in marriages where both partners choose to be with each other.
