I find it easiest to just think of them as being able to read each others' minds and hearts just as they can read ours. Bruce R McConkie put it like this:
"They are one and dwell in each other, meaning: They have the same mind one with another; they think the same thoughts, speak the same words, and perform the same acts—so much so that any thought, word, or act of one is the thought of the other."

In submitting this article to Meridian I neglected to give credit to FairMormon.org, one of my valuable research resources from which I obtained many important quotes. I highly recommend FAIR Mormon to anyone with questions about LDS doctrine or history. That amazing website has a giant collection excellent resources on virtually any Gospel topic, far more than could be included in any one book, or indeed in many volumes.

Thank you for your research and hard work. We have been very blessed to have the true nature of our Heavenly Father restored. It sure feels better...because it is better...and true.

I've found an easy way to explain the LDS position. I use three salt shakers or packets and ask, "if I pour out the contents of each of these, what will I get?" When the person answers, "salt," I ask them if that's not like the Godhead. Three separate "things," but one mission, one response to the same request.

Long before I met any Latter-day Saint, I was preparing to become a minister in the Anglican Church: at that time, I based my belief in Deity as coming from the testimony of Stephen - the first Christian martyr! He receives his dying revelation as being filled with the Holy Ghost, he SEES the Father AND the Son! The doctrine of the Trinity is the Anglican Communion's First Article of Faith! And thus came my departure from an ecclesiastical organization that believes in a doctrine that is neither biblical nor Christian. Nobody changed my mind for me: I came to this belief directly out of the canon of the scriptures!
