Re: introduction

I have 5 kids in total. 2 biological and 3 step kids. We dont homeschool at this time. My step kids all have special needs that they are getting met in the high school. Plus I had to go back to work a year ago. Im a convert to the Mormon church and my favorite verse right now is phil 4:8 because I struggle with anxiety.

Hello Pioneer Woman,

Welcome to forum..Was your husband a Mormon when your step kids were afflicted?

Psalms 94:12 Blessed is the man whome thou chastenest, O Lord: and teachest him out of thy Law:

God bless.

Re: introduction

I am my husband's only wife. The church outlawed polygamy a long time ago. My husband was raised in the church. But I converted about a year before I met my husband. Both of our marriage feel apart because the other spouse cheated. We have full custody of all 5 kids and are doing our best to teach them to live the Savior and serve others. Whether that is in your own family, your church family or the community.

Re: introduction

Hello Dear Princess of the Pioneer Era:

Your magic underwear is showing, sweetheart. At this point in time I find it hard to fellowship with you. I want you to understand that this in no way means I am turning you away.

However, at this point you are unsaved, so the kindest way I can say this is that you need to find as your or you are going to find yourself burning in with Joseph Smith, whose magic glasses would have been an "As Seen on TV" product had there been the slightest truth to the story. Although I have to say most of those products are scams (a few are not). But that's a story for another day when you become washed in the soul cleansing of . His exsanguination is the greatest period in the history of the world.

You see, in a sense, when our LORD shed His blood, just as we ladies do but yet in a different way because JESUS didn't have a uterus (although He knows what it is like to have one, because HE made us) so He couldn't menstruate and why would He want to, I mean - it's a messy business, don't you think? But I digress. That "period" of our precious LORD's life, His torture and shedding of blood and then a few days later, VOILA, no blood, not even the slightest bandaid needed (or whatever your favorite bandage is - I prefer Bandaids because they are sterile (like Mom 7's husband should be), is when GOD carried out His mission to kill His Son and then bring Him back to life so that we could fellowship with the three of them (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) forever and ever and ever.

When GOD calls us home to be with Him, it won't be in some celestial family, sweetheart, we will be married to CHRIST, Hallelujah!

Poor Joe will be screaming to us from the pit while we enjoy a beverage with our favorite Bible character. Sitting at my table will be my namesakes, Naomi and Ruth. My mother, Deborah and her namesake Deborah, and that hunk David will have a slice of my pie if JESUS says it's ok (there may be a pie day in Heaven, I don't know).

Bottom line, hon - pray to JESUS, confess your sins to Him, burn that Book of Moron, set yourself up with the 1611 KJV Bible, and you might someday sit at the table at the marriage supper of the LAMB. That lamb can save you, I can only lead you to the place where HE will shear your sins from your body and soul. GLORY!

(Men, I am so sorry for rambling so long. If one of you needs to punish me I'll be by the prayer chapel. Ring twice.)

Re: introduction

We all know that dear, but we also know that a number of mormen choose to ignore it. I am extremely relieved to hear that you claim not to be among them!

My husband was raised in the church. But I converted about a year before I met my husband.

So you converted without even a husband's consent? What on earth possessed you to do such a thing?

Both of our marriage feel apart because the other spouse cheated.

Hmmm. That's a bit of a coincidence, isn't it? Would you like to discuss why you think they might have done this? I fully understand, though, if you prefer to draw a veil over it, at least in the open forums. You can always ask Pastor Zeke for guidance, as I do on personal matters. Or there is always Auntie Flo's Prayer Shack where we women can discuss women's matters.

Welcome again, dear.

Re: introduction

My ex cheated on me with young girls that worked at the restaurant he was managing. i let it go for a long time, blaming myself. plus we had 2 little boys to think of. but, after doing everything he asked of me for 2 years and him not touching me at all during that period, i suggested therapy. he refused and walked out a couple months later. we started our family when we were very young and i think he needed to experience more of the world. I was happy just being a wife and mother. He wasnt. As for my husband's ex.....one day she just didnt come home. There are lots of details but to sum it up, she hasnt seen her kids in over 3 years, she is living in sin with a man with 3 felony drug convictions on his record, she owes us tons of money and she has an active warrant out for her arrest. Shes crazy. We both learned a lot from our failures and have been happily married for 4 years. We all fall short of the glory of God. But i know my Savior. And i have faith that His grace is sufficient. I found this site in my efforts to grow and learn. Not only because we have decided to mold our marriage into a domestic discipline relationship, but because i feel like something is missing and i am not yet whole. i dont know if that is the best way to describe it. I hope you can at least kinda understand. Im searching for something. Im just not sure what yet.

We all have gaping holes that need to be filled. I, too, have felt the longing for something to fill the deep crevasse that sometimes just cries out for attention. Let me assure you, dear, that our LORD's rod and staff can bring that comfort. He is always there to provide the satisfaction in life only the touch of GOD can.

Luke 9:58
And Iesus said vnto him, Foxes haue holes, and birds of the aire haue nests, but the Sonne of man hath not where to lay his head.

JESUS is longing to lay His precious Head near your foxhole of faith, sister. He will fill you with His Spirit, and nevermore will you find yourself crying out in loneliness, for He WILL NOT LEAVE YOU!

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong, and of a good courage, feare not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doeth goe with thee, he will not faile thee, nor forsake thee.

1 Chronicles 28:20
And Dauid said to Solomon his sonne, Be strong, and of good courage, and doe it: feare not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, euen my God, will be with thee; he will not faile thee, nor forsake thee, vntill thou hast finished all the worke for the seruice of the house of the Lord. GLORY!

You see, He is like a stalker, only the good kind. Not the ones that peer into your window each night, but the ones that you hope will be there when you're walking a dark street - kind of like when you see a nigra walking toward you and then all of a sudden you breathe a sigh of relief because a white guy appears. The LORD will bring you peace, Sister. Just trust in HIM, kneel before HIM, and offer HIM everything - hold nothing back. He wants to control you but set you free (It's a Jesus thing). He wants to unshackle you from the bonds of sin, but in return you must give Him consideration before you make a move, lest you burn in hell. Praise!

Living the life of a Christian woman is by no means easy - but it is very, very simple.

Interesting and you have my simpathy for your hardships, but we still would like please an answer to this question:

So you converted without even a husband's consent? What on earth possessed you to do such a thing?

And then we would like to know: As LDS what do you and your husband think about recent sightings of the three Immortal Nephites

Re: introduction

At the time, I didn't understand, let alone live a life of, patriarchal hierarchy. The whole head of household idea is something I learned in studying God's plan for marriage in the Bible. That desire came after my divorce. I believe the Holy Spirit placed a desire in me to study that subject so I would be prepared to marry a proper husband. And that's exactly what I got. My husband now loves and adores me. He cherishes me and is always considerate of me. But his expectations of a Biblical, modest wife are very clear and poor choices are severely punished via my behind.

I haven't heard anything about nephite sightings. I wouldn't believe it anyways.

It somehow does not add. For instance: Why do you not write If and when you first invited the mormon missionaries?
You seem to say that you studied the bible and it told you to first become a mormon and then marry one? Madness

I haven't heard anything about nephite sightings. I wouldn't believe it anyways.

Then how can you be a mormon. I know that the accepting as true scripture ALL OF THE BOM is mormon Dogma. You are no true mormon if you dont believe what is written in 3 Nephi 28

When we get to the Ground of your spiritual dizzyness, I am sure we will find no real LDS wifes soul but a very confused female black sheep that wants to come home to the one true Church of Christ (in Rome)

Re: introduction

He was a prophet. he started the church. every denomination has a man who started it. John wesley and the methodists etc....we dont worship or praise joseph smith. we respect him. he was a servant. No more, no less.

I used to be in this cult. I lived in Idaho, Maryland and Utah, and was a member of the LDS cult. I have studied the history of the Mormons in detail for my manuscript. And I found not a single reference in the fact that Smith was a prophet. However, I found fell evidence that he was involved in several crimes:

Counterfeiting, fraudulent bankruptcy, contract murder, destruction of property (for example, the printing press of the Nauvoo Expositor); Polygamy (then banned in the U.S.); and not least his alleged prophecies; none of which met, as well as his inability translation. There is a wonderful quote from the Bible about false prophets. It is in Deut. 18:19-21. So if a prophet says something false, something that does not happen, he is unmasked as a false prophet.
And yes, your members "adore" Joseph Smith! Think about the many hyms about him.

Re: introduction

But Mormons aren't Christians!

Correct! My former theologican teacher call them a mixed religion, because they pick from EVERY RELIGION (including paganism and freemasons) something to create a new religion.
The Mormon Jesus has nothing to do with the biblical Jesus. It is like to put Darth Vader into the new clothes of Superman.

Re: introduction

Huh? yes we are.we believe the Bible to be the literal word of God. we believe that Jesus IS his son and that he is the Savior. it is only through His sacrafice and our obedience that we find salvation. We believe in loving God and loving others. what else is there? isn't that what matters? or am i misunderstanding something? i wasn't raised Lds, i converted a few years ago.

You do not believe in the biblical Jesus, but the Jesus of the Mormons. The Jesus who appeared to Joseph Smith. The Jesus who appeared to the Nephites. There is evidence that the Book of Mormon is a fictional novel. You believe in Jesus, who was in the premortal existence Jehovah. Here, Elohim and Yahweh are one in the Bible and the same person. This can prove to you every theology student.
Conclusion: You believe in a different Jesus than we Christians, therefore, are Mormons NOT Christians. They are God's enemies.

Pioneer Princess: He was NO PROPHET!
Why not? Because NONE of his prophecies fulfilled. Because he MAGIC Mormon used to translate the book. And the Bible warns us strongly against using magic. Google once the story of the Kinderhook plates. The Joseph Smith allegedly translated. He claimed they were from a descendant of Ham. It was just a little dizziness, some local farmers had devised. Here is a link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinderhook_plates

And here several others:

Smith wan't a Prophet of God, and he never was a honest man.

Re: introduction

Young lady, please read Pastor Zeke's detailed explanation of Why Mormons are NOT Christians.

But welcome to our friendly forums. I believe that our Beloved has sent you here for a reason, and that reason is that He wants you to be Saved.

The ways of God sometimes for us humans it seem strange, but they always lead us back to him. We have to be willing to accept it and go, the way to God.

Re: introduction

God doesn't listen to the prayers of sinners!

Based on its own experience, I disagree. God hears the prayers of us sinners , because we are all sinners. And he answered our prayers to him, and answers . Sometimes we can not hear the answer , because our sins have made us deaf to his word. Sometimes we want to or not listen to the answers God. Also, because we are too proud to and self-righteous.
I remember a day where I had to fight hard with a problem. I asked God for help , even though I had just committed a crime (assault ) . God showed me what I should do. First I went to the person that I had nearly beaten to death , and asked for his forgiveness . Then I went to the police and made a voluntary disclosure . I came to court , and was punished. God showed me why I have been so violent and so I went in prison to a pastor and a therapist. When I was released from prison , I dedicated my life to God and spreading the Gospel . That was long ago . And God always surprised me with his kindness, his patience and his love.
