Elder Oaks opened the meeting by saying the number of missionaries has recently increased by close to 50% and the church doesn't exactly know how to keep them busy. He mentioned that this is a particular concern for North America, not necessarily the rest of the world. He referenced the missionary age change as a revelation from the lord.

MARTINSBURG - A lawsuit filed in Berkeley County against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormon Church, and local church officials accuses church leaders of covering up allegations that the son of local church officials sexually abused 12 children over the course of more than five years. ...the suit alleges that the church, through its leaders, has tried to intimidate the families of the children suing the church and has allegedly directed fellow church members to try to convince them to abandon their claims "lest they run afoul of church teachings regarding forgiveness,

I am a long time lurker and first time poster. I have had my eyes opened by this board, and appreciate the candor and sincerity of most of the posts. I also enjoy the funny stuff here. I am BIC, live in the heart of the morridor, RM. One of the recurring themes on RfM is the amount of time required to be TBM. My week has gone like this:

I mean like in my family when we were kids my dad would get himself ready for church then goes and sits down reading his scriptures or doing some paperwork for his calling then my mother would start yelling at him to help get the kid's ready. I mean sunday mornings at my house when we were kids was chaotic.

A black former bishop posted a very interesting on-line piece regarding Blacks and the priesthood.
"The peculiar assertion that the Mormon Church itself does not know the details of its very own race-based policy of restricting the Blacks from holding the Priesthood is tremendously embarrassing for all Mormons and exceptionally degrading for anyone who actually believes it."

I am asking for a personal favor by those who frequent this board.

Let me start with my story. I was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but was raised in Rexburg, Idaho. I was raised in a prominent LDS family. Our lives revolved around the church, and mormonism is still the pillar that supports the entirety of my family with the exception of me and a few other black sheep.

My lifelong TBM friend just called to tell me he is going to research the truth about the church. He stumbled onto wivesofjosephsmith.org and it really shook his faith that the church has never taught any of this. He knew Joseph Smith was a polygamist but was unaware of polyandry and 14 year old girls.

So he wants to know what the sources are for all of this.

We have also not decided how we want to go about telling family, but I don't want to do it by text message. We have chosen to still support family and their decisions but we don't feel comfortable bringing our young children to certain functions, like blessings or baptisms
