I'd not let a 15 year old date anyone without supervision. Regardless of gender, letting someone that young date a legal adult is unwise.

Answer to:
I like a mormon boy but am not interested in converting or planning on having children. would this cause many problems??
Depends on whether your standards are compatible and where you see it going long term. LDS are encouraged to marry in the faith and if that's important to him, then yes it would be a problem. Having children would be way down the road, past initial futures discussions. Some people want kids, some don't, some aren't heavily invested either way. You have to ask him.

Im a 22 year old non-LDS and i want to get to know and date a 20 year old mormon girl, how do i go about this to follow LDS rules?
Just ask her, there's no special protocol. Be aware if she's devout she will abstain from sex until marriage and she won't drink alcohol. Also bel clear what you're expecting - dating for fun vs. dating to look for a spouse. For the latter she may prefer to marry within her faith.

My boyfriend has a sexual adiction. He gets really agrivated if we don't have sex in like a day. He wants sex or oral it doesn't matter, he always want it. Is there something wrong with him?
Liking sex is not an addiction, it's perfectly normal. And it's normal for different people to have different levels of sexual interest. If he's into having sex a lot more than you are you need to consider whether you're compatible sexually and are good as a couple.

It depends on how you use the phone, and how much you use the phone.
For high usage, it's hard to beat Boost's $50 for unlimited voice, text and data.
For medium usage Net10 is probably the best per minute.
For low usage, as a spare phone or one to keep under the seat of your car, Tracfone, if you buy one with double minutes, can keep you running for under $10 a month....

According to LDS Doctrine will I have the opportunity to marry my girlfriend in the next life? She passed away almost a year ago and we never had the chance to marry while she was alive.
Not specifically. Her lack of opportunity to marry in mortality would not prevent her from receiving all possible blessings in the resurrection. That is not the same thing as saying you and she will have an opportunity to be sealed in the next life. If the two of you were never married, and never had kids together, there's no real reason for the two of you to be sealed.

Within my experience prior sin is seldom the cause - such things are usually dealt with well in advance. More often it's a medical or family issue.
That said, there are past sins which could result in someone being sent home. For example, if an elder were found to have a child from a previous relationship, he'd be sent home to help provide for his kid.

Answer to:
In a polygamist marriage, I assume the husband is sexual with any of his wives. There are other men there in the mix, husbands of some of the wives, so does that mean that the wife also has more than one husband, therefore more than one sexual partner?
Polygamy is a general term, polyandry and polygyny refer to multiple husbands for one woman or multiple wives for one husband.
What you describe is group marriage. Polygamy as practiced by the FLDS, or by Mormons a century and a half ago was polygyny or one husband with multiple wives. Under that model, the wife has only one ("authorized") partner.

Why is it the Mormons believes having black skin is a curse from god?

Answer to:
Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon is the "keystone" of Mormonism. However a Modern Mormon Studies Scholar notes, "Practically speaking, 'I believe because I want to believe!' is the true keystone of Mormon faith and culture." Thoughts?
The unnamed scholar isn't speaking of keystones in the same sense as Smith, but it seems to me the same could be said of any religious belief. We believe because we want to believe -- spirituality is neither objective nor empirical. Scripture that speaks to our mind at the expense of our spirit is just poetry.

Answer to:
If I had a verizon account and its off now can I buy prepaid verizon minutes for my phone and use it as a prepaid phone.
You would need to call Verizon and have them convert your phone to prepaid - without the change there is no way to load minutes on it.
Answer to:
If im on alltel.. and verizon is taking over on the 12th of this month in my area.. can i go ahead and upgrade to a verizon phone
That is going to depend on where you are on any contract expiration dates. Your upgrade dates are unlikely to change as the systems merge. If you are past the renewal date, I'd just get the new phone direct from Verizon and migrate your phone number.
Answer to:
Verizon Phones... if you switch to a new phone or get a new phone as a present, and you just bought games and/or music or something, not knowing you were getting a new phone, will they give you a credit thing to get those games without repaying?

Does a "disfellowshipped" member need to pay "back-tithing" before full membership is restored, or can he repent and get a fresh start?
Nothing prevents a disfellowshipped member from paying tithing if they choose. A person who has stopped paying tithing for a period simply needs to begin again to establish a pattern, there's no need to account for everything over time.
Answer to:
If a mormon has neglected to pay tithing for a period, must he pay "back tithing" before he is considered a full tithe payer and go to the temple, or can he repent for not paying, and start fresh?
How long is the period in question? People would typically try to start fresh, but if someone was in the habit of paying some every week then misses a few weeks, he would probably want to make up those weeks. The point is to establish a pattern of regular contribution, not to account for every penny ever earned since birth. God is not the IRS.

This is really two questions. Mr. Natural is right, all faiths like to control the messaging, and that's institutional. Aside from that, people often like to avoid thinking of things that make them uncomfortable, and a LOT of people in 2009 are uncomfortable with polygamy.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't listen to inspired counsel because they are human beings. You are asking for reconciliation of a conflict that doesn't exist.

Is the i880 nextel phone conpatable with the boost mobile sim chip.
It should be. Nextel is owned by Sprint, and Sprint provides the network service for Boost.
Answer to:
Boost Mobile customer service tells me that I can only use their SIMs with Boost, Sprint, and Nextel phones, even if other phones are unlocked. Does anyone have experience with other carriers' phones and Boost SIMs?
Your customer service rep is on the right track. Different companies use different protocols - basically, different languages that the phones use to speak to the cell towers. Unlocked means the phone is not configured for a specific company, not that it will work with all companies. A Sprint phone and a T-Mobile phone, for example, cannot simply trade SIMs, they use different protocols.

Boost Mobile customer service tells me that I can only use their SIMs with Boost, Sprint, and Nextel phones, even if other phones are unlocked. Does anyone have experience with other carriers' phones and Boost SIMs?
Their customer service is on the right track. Even if the phone is unlocked, different carriers use different protocols - think of it as the "language" the phone speaks to the cell towers to communicate. Even if the phones are similar make and model you can't just trade SIM cards from (for example) a Sprint phone and a T-Mobile phone, because they don't speak the same...
Answer to:
Is it ok to believe your own Church is the one and only true Church?
Many denominations claim exclusive authority, that's hardly something unique to Mormonism.
What do you mean by "ok"? You are free to believe as you choose, but so are others. If you use your beliefs as justification for discrimination, harassment, or simply looking down upon other people, then no, it isn't OK.
Answer to:
Many other Churches make their finances public and agree to adhere to commonly held Charitable Best Practices - including a publicly disclosed audit report that's available to members. Why doesn't the LDS Church do the same?
They don't because they choose to not do so. Not to be glib, but "Why doesn't [insert name of organization] do [insert name of process you would do differently]?" is somewhat rhetorical.

I recently got dumped by my long term boyfriend, we are both pretty young so i understood. The problem is hes my manager and constantly flirts with me at work still and well if im honest uses me for sex. I want to move but dont know where to start?
If your MANAGER is USING YOU FOR SEX you are being harassed. Tell him no. If he doesn't take no for an answer, you have a legal complaint to file.
Find a new job, associate with your friends and move on without him. And lean from this experience about why it's not good to date people you work with on a daily basis and it's REALLY not good to date your boss.

Answer to:
Why do the people in the mental health field think that anti depressants are the only thing that will help you. They won't help you with issues, they just want you medicated so they don't have to deal with you. What is it with that?
They don't. They understand the role that chemical imbalance plays in clinical depression - it is not something that is brought on by "issues", it is an illness that is treatable. Someone who suffers from depression should get the help they need and then they'll be better able to deal with whatever issues happen to be in their life.

In all honesty... I am curious..Are you saved through the Grace of Jesus Christ or the Faith in Mormonism? It has been stated by the LDS church, a personal relationship with Jesus is rediculous - Only those who believe LDS doctrine, are truely saved...
It has not been stated by the LDS Church that a personal relationship with Jesus is ridiculous (though I would suggest that some of the feel good fuzziness that often accompanies such efforts are ridiculous). It's quite the opposite, a personal testimony of Christ and His atonement is the point of everything.
Grace is essential. Without Christ the whole exercise is moot.

Is 512mb good for a 10mp camera?
What do you consider "good"? A typical high resolution photo will take over 1MB, so you could get around 400-500 photos on a 512 card. Movie length would also vary by resolution. As you get hundreds of images on a card, the camera will typically slow down a bit in booting and processing.

I'm trying to take photo's of my son on my LG viewty but it takes an age for the actual picture to be captured after pressing the button. Its not easy trying to get a 2 and a half year old to hold a smile for about 15 seconds! Does anyone have any tips?
My first suggestion would be to use a digital camera, not a phone - very few phones have high resolution cameras in them.
If you have no other options, make sure the lighting is as good and bright as you can get it. If the light is low the camera may be having trouble focusing on the subject.

My son wants to serve a mission but will have to complete two years at the Naval Academy first. By the time that comes around, he will be 21. Is there an age limit for young men?

From a non Mormon perspective, the question is moot and has no bearing on his salvation. From a Mormon perspective, if she wants to have her marriage to her late husband solemnized by her new Church, she would need to have the preparatory ordinance such as baptism done. The solemnization would take place at least a year after her baptism, but she could submit his name for proxy baptism...

Do Mormons think that the Jews are the chosen people of God? If they do, then why do they claim that they are the One True Church?("I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong.." As quoted by Joseph Smith, about other churches.)

Answer to:
Have independent sources verified the authenticity of the scriptures found by Joseph Smith? If not, why?
Independent sources? Verify? Do you understand what scripture is? The Book of Mormon, like the Bible, is something that ultimately has to be taken on faith because archaeology and history will always find the texts themselves objectively lacking.

Assuming one believes in God and sin to begin with...
The question misses the point IMO. Sin is sin, and any sin suggests spiritual distance from God. When we speak of "severity" of sin that's more a measure of consequences in our own lives and the difficulty of repentance, not whether it matters to God.

A question for Mormons. I am Christian, and I have heard many times from the Christian side the differences between Mormonism and Christianity. But now I am curious... Would a Mormon care to explain to me the differences as you see it?
Explaining the difference between Mormonism and Christianity is like explaining the difference between Toyotas and automobiles.
Some people improperly place restrictions on who deserves the term "Christian" and denominations like Mormons, Catholics, etc. generally don't qualify. That is their bigotry, not objective application of scriptural criteria.

Do you need to get a Blackberry package when buying a Blackberry and pay money for something you don't need? I do not need internet right now on my phone, maybe in two years or so but not now.
You can get a smartphone with no data package - sync new software, calendar and contacts with your computer. The whole point of a blackberry, however, is its connectivity, especially for corporate email. If you don't need that connectivity you can probably find something less expensive that will work just as well.

I am an ex-Mormon, and I often hear other ex-Mormons talk about having their records removed from the church. While I always thought this a bit dramatic, what exactly does that MEAN? What is entailed in having the LDS church to do that?
The technical term is to "resign" church membership. It doesn't matter whether you no longer attend or even consider yourself LDS, unless you have been excommunicated or resigned (not the same thing) you are still technically a member of the Church from the Church's perspective.
You're quite correct it does sound a bit dramatic, most people simply go inactive...

Is it mormon custom to not speak about anything that happens, taught or practiced in the temple OUTSIDE of the temple?
The temple proceedings are not discussed in detail outside of the temple, but you would be quite limited indeed if you couldn't discuss anything taught, etc. The principles taught are pretty basic such as faith, covenants, sacrifice, the atonement, etc. You'd have a whole lot of silence Sunday mornings if you couldn't discuss basic gospel principles outside the temple.

As a general rule I've seen Verizon with the best and most versatile coverage. But that doesn't mean they're best for where you live and travel, you'd want to check out coverage maps on different carriers' websites to be sure. They all have dead zones, and if one of the dead zones is over your office it doesn't matter how great they are in general. :)

But the baseline divorce rate is so high and there are so many variables in any individual relationship it's hard to extrapolate the general statistic into anything meaningful about an specific couple. People have to make their own choices.

Why do Christians worship on Sunday while the Sabbath is clearly on Saturday?

No reason to panic at all. It may take several days for the plugging congestion, etc. to clear completely.

The drugs help speed up the healing and reduce the pain, but there is no substitute for time.

Quit and then what? You can't really quit without another job to go to. If you are that uncomfortable that might be what you need to be working toward.

You are being sexually harassed. If he bothers you and won't stop, you should take it up with HR.

You should stop obsessing over it. If he is using porn as a substitute for a relationship with you, you have bigger issues and should both get into counseling to fix them. If he just likes to look at porn once in a while but your relationship is healthy, then it's nothing to be concerned about. You might even want to join him sometime and remind him why real flesh and blood is better.

The specific outfit is moot. Are you a cross dresser or is this her idea and something she thinks would be fun or a joke or something?
If you're comfortable cross dressing at the party, there's no reason not to if you WANT to. But it should be your own decision.

No. It is possible for a bisexual guy to be happy with a woman as well as a man, and it's possible for a gay guy to choose to not sleep with other men. That makes him celibate, not straight. If he sleeps with women and isn't honest with them, it makes him a liar and a jerk.

When a mother is non-catholic and the father is a catholic,and they have children out of wedlock,the mother does not wish to have the children baptised ,is the father allowed to go ahead and get them baptised without and against the mother`s wishes.
If both parents share custody of the child, both parents have a stake in the religious upbringing. Religious conditions are often included in divorce decrees and parents have lost custody over violating these agreements. Many churches won't baptize a child without the consent of both parents.

They may or may not have come to a formal agreement in the past about custody, but he needs to get it formalized by the court, part of which will specify visitation. It will also spell out his responsibility in child support, again...

Should you force a child to TRY everything on their plate ? Not for them to eat all of it but just to try it.(like at a resturaunt for example)?
A provisional yes. Children should be encouraged to try new things, but sometimes they know their tummy better than you. A friend forced his son to eat a bite of a salad in a restaurant and ended up covered in projectile vomit.
It's a much easier task if you yourself are open to trying new foods and make it a game for everyone.

No, it's not cheating. An old friend gave you a kiss - and apparently not much of one, it's not as if you were swapping spit.

Answer to:
Going Topless:I am not sure how everyone feels, but I think its a double standard, guys can be topless in a public setting, beach etc.... I feel women should have the same option. Anyone agree or disagree?
Women can - if they're on the right beach.
And men with boobs should know better than to go topless as well.

No. Wanting to have sex with a woman makes you a lesbian, assuming you are yourself a woman.

I've waited over 20 years for the man that I love to be divorced and now he is but has a girlfriend he doesn't want to hurt but says there are problems. Should I move on or keep waiting?
How long are you ready, willing and eager to be this asshat's doormat? That you even ask this question - after waiting around for 20 years - suggests you really need some counseling to figure out why you have let yourself be treated this way for so long, and why you don't move on and take control of your life and find an actual partner who wants to be with you.

Do you think it's abusive behavior when my mother-in-law is expected to "serve" her boyfriend his dinner? I.E. get all his food for him on his request, put his filled plate in front of him, and leave the table to when he becons to get him more?
I wouldn't say abusive, but I would say whacked, old fashioned, anachronistic, and inappropriate in 2008 in the western world.

Generally a child that age would still be on milk or formula, though you might start supplementing with a bit of cereal. But that's an average, you have to read your baby and adjust accordingly. Some kids need more food earlier. Some fruit in the morning, some cereal with meals, might help fill a hollow leg so s/he's happier longer (which really helps at night). If s/he's...

Impossible to give a simple answer - the manufacturer specs will be reasonable accurate but generally assume a best case scenario. If the client's radio is weaker than the access point then it becomes the limiting factor. You will also be limited depending on the construction of the building, etc. which can interfere. In general if you're over 100 feet you want devices with...

I have a WEP-encrypted router, and recently bought a new PC. However, I've forgotten the WEP code. I do have a PC which is already connected to the router, and it has the code saved. However, I don't know if there is a way of recovering it. Is there?
It should be masked on the old PC, but you can go into the router itself and either look it up, or change to a new code. If multiple devices are on the network you will probably want to avoid making unnecessary changes to the code as each device would need to be updated.

Unfortunately there's no substitute for a lot of patience. My guess is your ex doesn't have her all the time so the time he does get is spent mostly in play while you have the day to day reality of chores and homework. That's unfortunate for all of you - you don't get the play time, her father doesn't get the parenting time, and she doesn't get to see that life...

Not breaking up with my guy but thinking of maybe dating (non sexually) other men as an alternative. I've never done this so I need to know how to handle multiple men in my life. Do you think our relationship survive will survive that?
It all depends on the rules of your relationship. If he's not OK with it, the relationship isn't going to survive, nor should it.
Perhaps you should be asking yourself what you hope to get out of the other guys that you aren't getting from your guy and seeing whether that's something he can provide.

You're obviously curious about something, whether or not it's sexual is yet to be determined. It's not a big deal for someone who's confident in his sexuality to be able to recognize beauty and attractiveness. If you like guys too, there's nothing wrong with that. Just gives you that much more opportunity to find a date Saturday night.
