How long to I have to wait to serve a mission? Hi. I haven’t been baptized yet, but I will be this Saturday. I’m so happy because I’ll be free from my sins, and because my mom accepts all of this.

I’m divorced. Can I marry in a Mormon temple? My boyfriend is married, and he’s helping me get to know the gospel. We’re thinking about living together. I’m divorced and he’s separated.

Do Mormons have to practice polygamy after they die? Is there any truth to what I’ve heard that polygamy will be practiced again in the Celestial Kingdom? I don’t even want to think about the idea that, if I’m exalted, my husband will have to take on additional movies. I want a clear answer to this question because I’ve heard rumors. Also, why the […] (August 4, 2013, 1 comment)
I’m married and interested in a return missionary. I’ve been married and sealed to my husband for four years, but during the last two years we’ve had a lot of challenges.

How can I not get discouraged with my illness? Hi. I’ve had a number of challenges with my health and have been unemployed for over two years. I feel so defeated.

I have returned to the church after being inactive. The missionaries and Bisop all agree, I need to be rebaptized. I talked about it to my Husband. He is Catholic.

Hello. When I read the BoM I get the impression that most people in it were apostates, and that the nephite Christian chruch was relatively small and not so well-known among everyday people back then? So when Christ appeared before them in 3 Nephi and started talking to them – did really everyone Immediately understand […] (June 21, 2013, 1 comment)

Are Mormons the only ones who are saved? Hi. I have a question, and I was wondering if you could help me. I want to know if in this religion you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved.

I want to serve a mission, but my family doesn’t support me. Hi. I’m a member of the church, and I’m 20 years old. I was baptized when I was 15, but for personal reasons I went inactive.

Doesn’t salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone? Why then are temple ceremonies important? Hi brothers and sisters. Since salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, as the apostle Paul said, why is the temple endowment necessary? Isn’t the endowment based on Old-Testament practices? Didn’t Paul say that the old law of Moses isn’t necessary anymore? So why the Temple? Thanks. (June 2, 2013, 2 comments)
I was wondering a few things.How can we explain the… I was wondering a few things. How can we explain the blood atonement taught by Brigham Young?

The book of Ether has no year and dates like the other chapters in the Book of Mormon, but most people seem to belive that It spans a period of about 1500-2000 years, from the tower of babel to when the mulekites found coriantumr? But in the book of Ether they list 30 generations […] (May 23, 2013, 1 comment)
Nauvoo History. Mormons settled Nauvoo, Illinois (where I’m currently vacationing) in the mid 19th century. This city has tremendous historical significance for the Mormon people, and I’m just thrilled to be here! Let me tell you about Nauvoo and share some of the pictures I’ve taken. Mormons were not very popular in the 19th century. The religion […] (May 21, 2013)

So about 2 years ago now I found out my husband of 10 years was having an affair with my best friend. It was devastating. I moved out and took our 5 kids and lived a year without him trying to see if we could work it out in counseling. I have decided to stay […] (April 25, 2013, 5 comments)
My daughter has been receiving advice from her friends and their parents. They tell her to go with her gut and do what she wants to do. I try eplaining the diffrence between that feeling and the still small voice of the holy spirit. Any ideas how to explain? They come from a new age […] (April 24, 2013, 2 comments)
No questions really. I just want to share the sweet and lovely feeling of having heard the song: “Oh How Lovely Was The Morning”! It gives me always the strength and assurance that what occurred in the spring of 1820 was a reality. A reality that God, our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ […] (April 23, 2013)
“Without the necessary preparation, the sacred promises and symbols would not be appreciated.”- I pulled this quote from the section of the website on Temples; I understand some may not be ready to enter another religion’s grounds with respect for it, but why is this quote so unspecific? If anything I would enjoy reading more […] (April 21, 2013, 3 comments)
I’m confused because I’m going to two different denominations. I’ve been a member for about a year and a half, together with my daughters. However, these last six months we’ve not been very active. In fact, we hardly ever go to church, even though the missionaries continue to visit us. My husband is Catholic and this has made things difficult. He’s only gone to […] (April 20, 2013, 1 comment)
Can my divorced husband be a leader in the church? My husband divorced his first wife with whom he was sealed before marrying and being sealed to me.

Thanks for […] (April 20, 2013, 1 comment)
Why are there now 14 apostles? Why is it that anciently there were 12 apostles but now there are 14 apostles and the prophet? Isn’t the church supposed to be the same today as it was in Christ’s time?[IMPORTANT][IMPORTANT] (April 20, 2013, 2 comments)
Will my appearance improve when I’m resurrected? Will our physical body always be like it is now, or will it change in the resurrection? The truth is I don’t like how I look physically, and I hope I don’t have to spend eternity this way. Also, what does the church think about plastic surgery? At school, there’s a bully that picks on […] (April 20, 2013, 2 comments)
I’m learning more about your church…. Good afternoon. Is it true that alcohol is prohibited in the Mormon church? Regardless, I don’t drink alcohol. I stopped drinking five months ago.

Why have the church’s teachings regarding modesty changed? I wanted to ask a question about the church’s teachings regarding modesty. It seems obvious to me that modesty is not a fixed standard: the use of long hair and a beard were symbols of maturity in years past (Brigham Young, for example), but today most Mormons are clean-shaven. How do you explain that things […] (April 20, 2013, 3 comments)
Hi, what do Mormons believe happens to families that are not sealed? I read on here that “Your family is still your family in heaven but love Is the eternity” I’m confused. Could you please explain the Mormon belief on this? Thanks! (April 17, 2013, 3 comments)
Inactive and had an abortion. If a member of the church had an abortion six years ago while she was inactive, but has decided to come back to the church, has truly repented, and has decided to confess her sins, what consequences can she expect?

Sometimes he comes home in the early hours of the morning. I try to do our family night, and he participates and seems to get a lot out of it. He’s […] (April 15, 2013, 2 comments)
I waste on my time on social networks. I waste all my time on things that are useless, like social networks online. I think it really is an addiction. I know I should focus more on the Scriptures, but no matter how hard I try to free myself of my addiction, I can’t do it. I feel so distant from my Savior. In […] (April 15, 2013, 2 comments)

I am Catholic, and I would like to marry a Mormon woman. I’m a Catholic, and I want to marry a Mormon woman I know. We’ve talked a little bit about being sealed in the temple.
