Rcouch: WoW isn't that easy for some

Hi 65.216.70.186,
I removed part of your question related to being overweight and the Word of Wisdom. I did this to eliminate what some might interpret as a criticism against some members of the church. Hopefully this revision focuses the question more on the scriptures themselves. Note that my reason for removing the part of the question that seemed to critizice members of the church who misread the Word of Wisdom and use it to falsely judge others is not that I disagree with your claim, but rather, simply that I think we are best off by focusing on the scriptures themselves.

::I disagree but I won't press the issue. I didn't realize until just now that these pages only cover 5 verses... when I clicked on D&C and on 'section 89', i thought I was heading to a page about the whole section... this should be changed somehow, preferably by having another list come up when I click on 'section 89'. I'm not even sure now how I'm going to get to the page one of my questions was moved to...

:::Just click on the link that says "Next" and the next portion of the section will come up. [[User:Eric|Eric]] 22:48, 10 Aug 2005 (CEST)

:::I agree that the Next Previous links are confusing--especially for those who get to the scriptures by drilling down through the links (e.g. clicking "Doctrine and Covenants" then "Section 89.") There is an enhancement on the queue to add a page with verse links (e.g. 1-5, 6-10) for each chapter/section so that users don't have to click Next, Next, Next, Next to get verse 26. I haven't gotten around to implementing that. In the meantime the easiest way to get to a specific verse is to type its reference (e.g. D&C 89:14) in the search box. I hope this helps. --[[User:Matthewfaulconer|Matthew Faulconer]] 07:05, 11 Aug 2005 (CEST)

I'm wondering about the last paragraph in the exegesis about the WoW being easier than some commandments b/c we can see the direct benefit ("if we eat right ... we're healthier"). Maybe I think the comment just needs a little rewording so it's more neutral in tone or less strong in its claim. After all, in many cultures tea is very common and considered very healthy--for new converts in these areas, the WoW is sometimes one of the hardest commandments to follow precisely b/c the health benefits are ''not'' obvious.... --[[User:Rcouch|Robert C.]] 19:13, 13 Aug 2005 (CEST)

Rcouch: is there a way to delete a user account?

I couldn't find a way to delete this account, am I just not finding it, or isn't there a way for me to do it? I created a new account since I thought it'd be better to use my first name....
