Been busy with ranch duty. We just bailed 500 - 1500 lb bails of hay (Tiftin 85) and I am in the process of hauling them out of the pastures to the barn. How have you been doing?

“Appropriate Dress
Those who attend will most likely be wearing their “Sunday best,” which may include suits, sport coats, and ties for the men and dresses or skirts for the women. Children also typically dress up for Sunday. “
Am I accepted or condemned if I show up in a collard shirt and long shorts?

I was commenting on the way “Meeting House” has apparently been changed to “Meetinghouse” — one word.

Just pick and choose the verses you want to believe, and leave the obvious alone.

My great grandparents had a hog farm in upstate NY. My grandfather build a farm for each of his 7 children he was born in 1859-d1914.

That’s a pretty accurate list.
To: restornu
rest,
Is a ward an individual church or a group of churches like the equivalent of a Catholic diocese?

A Ward is a congregation. A Stake is a group of Wards, the equivalent of a diocese.
Sorry to butt in. (Just in case resty isn’t online, I took the liberty to answer)

Thanks. So if a bishop is the head of a Ward, then what do they call the head of the Stake?
To: restornu
We do not pass a plate to request donations as part of our worship services.
All members are expected to pay 10% of their income for tithing. Towards the end of the year it is common for the bishop to have meetings with members to make sure they paid an honest tithing.
Then there are the guys who come to your door for building funds and lets not forget fasting money.
If members do not pay an honest tithing they can not get a temple recommend which means no celestial kingdom.
To: restornu
all Church service is voluntary
Being asked to do service in the church is considered 'a calling'. No matter how impossible some callings are (yes some members get lucky and have multiple callings) you are expected to do the service. God will find a way as long as you are faithful enough.
If you happen to have a jerk of a bishop or SP your temple recommend could be on the line if you start refusing callings the Lord has told the elders of the church you need.
Then again your eternal salvation is messed up if you lose your temple recommend. No celestial kingdom. You will cause your family much pain by not having an eternal family.

All members are expected to pay 10% of their income for tithing. Towards the end of the year it is common for the bishop to have meetings with members to make sure they paid an honest tithing. Since no one show their check stub how would the bishop know if one paid full tithe or not?

In all my 25 years I never had anyone come to my door for building funds!
If members do not pay an honest tithing they can not get a temple recommend which means no celestial kingdom.
Still again if one is not required to show their Check stub or bank statements how would the bishop know if one paid an honest tithe?
I don't know of anyone who would want to attend the Temple and not be honest in their dealing?
Because the Lord will not be there to greet them and their attendance will be a waste of time!
It is with the Lord you have the covenant with not the servant of the Lord!
It amazes me how one thinks these things through and using the world yardstick.
So many have missed the bigger picture thinking they are fooling his servants on earth when the Lord knows all our hearts and mind.

You fear the references from the Bible that, if read, provide a clear undersanding of how impossible it is for Jesus and Satan to be "brothers"?
Was not in the least attacking you.
Maybe it was attacking the deception that has you and others bound and blinded.
For that, please forgive.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by, and through, Him.
He is not to be feared. The truth of who He is and what He has done and is doing and shall do - is the greatest good news truth in all of history to all of mankind.
Do you freely worship Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of all in your meetings?
To: restornu
Since no one show their check stub how would the bishop know if one paid full tithe or not?
It is common practice to bring your tax papers in towards the end of the year for tithing settlement. The times you weren't as honest as you thought you can catch up on those times just by writing a check.
In all my 25 years I never had anyone come to my door for building funds!
Consider yourself lucky then.
It is with the Lord you have the covenant with not the servant of the Lord!
It is the servant you have to pass through to get there.
