Brigham Young’s Thought on Relating Spiritual Experiences
Brigham Young said:
It is always peculiarly interesting to me to hear the Saints tell their experience. It is to me one of the best of sermons to hear men and women relate to each other how the Lord has wrought upon their understanding, and brought them into the path of truth, life, and salvation. I would rather hear men tell their own experience, and testify that Joseph was a Prophet of the Lord, and that the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other revelations of God, are true; that they know it by the gift and power of God; that they have conversed with angels, have had the power of the Holy Ghost upon them giving them visions and revelations, than hear any other kind of preaching that ever saluted my ears. JD 1:90-91
How to do you feel about his thought?
“…Ye Ask Not, Neither Do Ye Knock; Wherefore Ye are Not Brought into the Light…”
If we desire to learn the gospel of Jesus Christ we need to study it like we would any other subject. The familiar process of reading, attending class, writing, and discussing will allow us to acquire information. However, there is a difference between knowledge and understanding. Knowledge is to understanding, what an acorn is to an Oak tree.

Hugh Nibley Meets with the “Swearing Elders”–A Group of Liberal Mormons
Maybe the term "liberal mormon" got it start with a group of men who were referred to as the "swearing elders". If anyone knows for sure please let me know.
This is an interesting story, but the reason I am presenting it is to make it clear to all that Hugh Nibley was a testimony bearing member of the church, first, and foremost.
A Repentance Primer for the Average Sinner
Forgiveness of your sins is possible because of the atonement of Jesus Christ. The scripture teach that in order to obtain this gift of the atonement you must make changes in your life. Whatever it is that you’re doing or have done that constitutes sin needs to be addressed. Some sins are easily dealt with, while others are more difficult. If, for example, you stole something of small value 2 years ago and realize that it was wrong, and that you are guilty of breaking the Lords commandment, you can repent by asking in prayer to be forgiven. On the other hand, if you are guilty of sin that is additive, like internet pornography, then you will probably need to seek out the help of your Bishop and maybe a qualified professional.
