Sorry, as an LDS member I find parts of this article significantly erroneous and misleading...at least from my perspective.

a lot of us are mired so deep in the LDS culture that we haven't a clue how to make friends with people who aren't carbon copies of us.

Christ's teachings are the answer for any Christian of any denomination or faith in terms of their daily walk with those around them.

  1. Love God.
  2. Keep His commandments.
  3. Love your neighbor as yourself.
  4. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
  5. Do well to those who despitefully use you.
  6. Turn the other cheek.
  7. Go with them twain.
  8. Take upon yourself Christ's yoke...for it is light.
My experience is that when I act this way (ie...the way Christ himself would act) to my neighbors, co-workers, etc...that friendship follows.

That's what the Church teaches...that's what it's "culture" is all about.

I'm not familiar with the following..

"Go with them twain.".....

What does that mean?
