How to prepare the Sacrament

I usually don’t eavesdrop on other peoples’ conversations, because that in and of itself can be a sin, but I couldn’t help but overhear the couple in front of me at church yesterday during the passing of the sacrament. Maybe if they would have been silently praying, as they should have been, to […]

This site is called Mormon Folklore because there is a lot of false information out there that someone has to set straight. One of my gifts is discernment, so I am happy to do it. But I cannot always be there to help those of you who are so much weaker at discerning […]

I recently saw a wise comment from a wise brother over on cougar boards. He was saying we should not shy away from the historical doctrine of polygamy just because it is a nasty PR situation. His conclusion was:

Okay, lookit. We know for a fact that the resurrection is real, that the spirit will be reunited with the body and will live in some level of glory (depending on how good we have been) for ever and ever and ever.
We know for a fact that this happens even today, because […]

Be Careful what you Pray for

I don’t know if there is any better way to say it than that. I think we all know of experiences where the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, has bestowed upon us answers to our prayers, even when those answers are not exactly what we were expecting.

I want to clear this up once and for all. I have heard far too many people claim that the doctrine of the three degrees of glory was borrowed from Emanuel Swedenborg’s “Heaven and Hell” (1758) in which he wrote of three heavens that are entirely distinct from each other, and claimed that […]
