@CV75 thanks for sharing that article I really enjoyed it, and thanks to everyone else for the responses they have made me feel comforted. I’ve been praying to be humble and to trust in the Lord and his leadership and I have been feeling better.

Hello everyone I’ve been on these forums for a while and have loved reading the topics but just recently have had something happen that made me want to get some opinions. I went and spoke with my bishop because I had to get some things cleared up, anytime previously I had talked to a bishop or my mission president it was a wonderful experience I felt loved, I felt hope, I felt supported, I felt that I still had self worth even in my fallen moments of weakness. This time in a new ward when I spoke to my bishop for the first time I didn’t feel any of that, I felt more broken, I felt discouraged, I felt confused and lost and didn’t know where to go. I left pretty shocked, went home and cried because of how poorly it made me feel, not wanting to meet with him again in a few weeks. I recognize he is the bishop and I’m not questioning his leadership or authority but what I am looking for is advice if anyone has had an experiences like this or any advice on how to continue forward?

Thanks for sharing this I probably would have never thought of this until the millennium rolled around! Lol really cool idea I'm going to try it out and posted what I find! :)

These are fun :) had never heard anything regarding #5

On my mission in Argentina almost all of the blessings that I heard would start with virtue instead of authority. I don't think it's too big of a deal just as long as you state that you are acting with the melchizedik priesthood.

Sorry to kinda jump back on the conversation but with the topic of hell I think it's well described in Mormon 9, hell may not be so much a place of fire but rather symbolic fire of the torment we will receive to realize our guilt and wrong doings before the Lord in the last day. So much that we would feel more comfortable among the souls of hell, so that is where we will go, just my two cent :) 3 Then will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked with a consciousness of guilt that ye have ever abused his laws? 4 Behold, I say unto you that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God, under a consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell. 5 For behold, when ye shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God, and the holiness of Jesus Christ, it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you.

The new and everlasting covenant of marriage is also a saving ordnance, we can't expect to receive a fullness of Gods blessings unless we receive all of the ordinances required for our salvation.
