Ask a Mormon Woman
If you have always wanted to ask something about Mormon life or beliefs, but were afraid to approach your Mormon coworker or friend (or you don’t know a Mormon personally), you can ask it here. Feel free to do so anonymously, if you prefer. We respond to every question via email and post many of the questions and answers here on the site. Please be sure your email address is valid. It will not be shared.
Simply leave your question in the comments section below, or send us an email at gmail, username ‘mormonwoman’ or ‘mormonwomen.’
Our responses will, of course, not be official LDS Church answers, but we figure that sometimes it can be helpful to hear from a run-of-the-mill Mormon.
I would like to ask if we need to be invited to a temple dedication or we can go there freely?
I was born a Christian (Baptist) and baptized. If I decide to make the step toward Mormon, will I need to be baptized again?
William,
I know we responded to you via email, but we really should include a response here, too:
Only LDS Church members can attend the actual temple dedications. HOWEVER, before every temple dedication, there is a period of time when an open house is held, and the public is invited and encouraged to attend. This gives people the chance to walk through the temple to see what the inside of a temple looks like, and to learn more about what goes on inside temples.
If you are interested in reading a little more about temples, we have a few posts on our site that talk about temples and temple dedications. See here for a list of links.
Cheryl, we will be posting an answer to your question soon.
The company that I work for in a small rural community in Vermont, across the country from the Corporation that purchased us has me on edge. An insider has told me that the company is primarily Mormon. I have made no attempt at research, fear limiting me. I have heard bits and pieces of information, but never make judgments or believe “Hear Say”. My Concern With a Primarily Mormon Based Company Taking Over Has Nothing to Do With Religion… I LOVE the people who have come to help us transition. They are helpful, genuine and some of the nicest people I have met. I’m scared because, I have no religion and no desire to convert, drink more coffee than I should and smoke cigarettes. To a Mormon, would that discredit the fact that I go above and beyond in my position, Work EXTREMLY Hard and that my company is my heart, 2nd to my Family? I just don’t want to lose my job, I have a beautiful family who depends on me. Please Tell Me Honestly What You Would Think.
Dani,
Your question is scheduled to be addressed on our website tomorrow, April 26.
I also love the video “my new life.” I really wanted to know the name of the song that starts with the videos. Some of the lyrics that can be heard are “I’ve loved you from the start in every single way,” and “my imagination sees you,” and “it’s all about your heart.”
I am looking for a copy of Bro Oaks talk Please Please Please
Ginger,
Are you referring to his talk from the most recent Women’s Conference, or from General Conference?
If it’s the former, we, too, are anxiously awaiting a transcript for that one — we’ll post links when they are published.
If it’s from General Conference, then you can go to the General Conference page. His talk is here.
I’m with Patty – I am REALLY looking for that song that Patty referred to. Please share where we could purchase a copy, and just to clarify, we mean the song that you hear DURING the “My New Life” presentation.
The one by Tammy Simister Robinson that is referenced on the site is a lovely song, but it’s not the one in the spot.
Please share when you can.
How inspiring this wonderful family is to me.
Jason
Patty and Jason,
We really don’t know about that song (we didn’t produce the video, as you probably know). I will still see if I can find something out, though.
I FINALLY KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG!!!!!!
and make you all happy !!
I just wanted to share it
The name is….. “It’s all about your heart” by Mindy Gledhill
The album is coming out some time soon…
here is a link to her song… ENJOY!
