I find them to be quite stuck on their belief system, but a pretty small minority of Peter Priesthoods are the only ones I've really noticed being overly stuck on themselves.

My former nanny retired from teaching at 54 three or so years ago. Besides 28 or so years of service credit accrued through teaching in CA public schools, she has maybe $600,000 in miscellaneous Tsas, Roth Iras, etc. She also has a spouse who has more assets than she has, and though he doesn't share terribly well, everything but his inheritance is hers as well. She hasn't regretted retirement f

http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,2058904 I'm not certain I was clear on a reply at the topic pasted above. I think it's perfectly reasonable to reject a dentist because he or she is LDS or for any other reason a person might decide is important. I don't even think doing so is inherently a form of bigotry, as it's reasonable not to want the LDS church to profit indirectly from one's busin

I wouldn't go back to a dentist whose staff had treated me the way your dentist's receptionist treated you. I wouldn't pay the cancellation fee, either, and would take him to court if he tried to refer you to a credit bureau for it. He probably doesn't have time for small claims court and would presumably drop it. A dentist who used to practice in my city bought another dentist's practice. His

Jack, I wish there were something I or anyone else could say that might help. I suspect nothing any of us could possibly say will be of any real comfort. You're living my worst nightmare. Losing one of my kids is the worst thing that could ever happen to me. Having the child take her life might be the very worst form of losing a child. I'm just guessing here. I really have no idea.
