that my missionaries went ahead and signed my Triple, you would figure that I would get some kind of letters, letting me know how they and I were doing. I felt like I was just left behind, when no one really helped keep me there. It was quite sad. I was almost excommunicated shortly after, because of sleeping with a wife of a man that had already said that his wife never responded to his r

It's Daylight Savings Time over here, and the sun sets at 5pm or so. I am ready for bed at like 6pm. I hate the change in time. There is so much to do still, and yet, all you want to do is sleep.

Being a part of the cult is what keeps them from self-reflection. It's really hard for them to separate the teachings from the malarky that goes on in reality. It's such a group mentality, because they all sound and do the same thing, like block stuff, like voting, dancing, etc. I was guilty of the same behavior. It's like the Borg in Star Trek. 'I am so and so... you will serve us.' Now

Mmmmmm... homemade toffee. It's on DamnDelicious.net It looks spectacular, and rather easy. I would have used a sugar subtitute, since my sugar needs to stay low, being the diabetic I am. Actually, it probably be better, but extra sweet. Stuff like this, sometimes come in 1:1 or 2:1 measurements. But that would have been good, had I had the ingredients. Here's the link! https://

blanket statement about being schizophrenic. I am schizophrenic, and I am on pretty heavy meds. Just to survive takes considerable work to get what you need. I feel the same, that there needs to be additional resources in mental health as a total,not just Kaysville, but a blanket statement is unwarranted. Also, just imagine what the incoming administration is going to do when they are in

I've already woken up this morning mad as hell about something else. I am sick and tired of the manipulative tactics that the TSCC is taking to get their way. 'Let's bribe the Council! It's the Jesus way!' Sorry for my attitude this morning. It's just a whiny thing for today. I'll be fine later! Thank you for the information about the article behind a paywall.

Looked through some archives in Las Vegas papers, and the LDS church filed a lawsuit to build a temple in the middle of a neighborhood? The TSCC is suing over religious discrimination. This is insane. Link to Article: https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/lawsuit-las-vegas-violated-open-meeting-laws-in-relation-to-lds-temple-project-3173033/

I am saddened by tithing settlement. I worked hard. I did my job well, and I realize that just a manipulation-type meeting. 'Did you pay a full tithe?' I told them we could not afford a full tithe, since we moved from place to place in the same apartment complex. I had to admit I was an SOS. Bishop didn't care, because we weren't being honest. The bishop kept saying that we would suffer

My testimony was solid by the time the missionaries (2nd set of them), got to the door. I was young an impressionable. I was their first convert. So many things were happening. Fighting with my gf over doctrinal points, and we really had square offs. It was satisfying, when I got her on the point. She was a Biblical scriptorian. Then I went ahead and taught the missionaries, and they w

I would not have begged to let a certain person to have their work done. Just shuffle them into the regular ordinance list. No one would know.

the church is in the great and spacious building. Look at the Conference Center! Ha... we fell away?? We actually used our brains. There comes a time where thinking is needed, and our brain will make it so. To unravel that huge pretzel in your head.

The world cannot handle people being different. Everything pushes it. Why tolerance does not exist is because of religion and many other things.

Loooool!!! Was airtight. We had huge amounts of wheat (300 pounds), cake mix, oats, spaghetti, peanut butter. It was all sealed. I went to a nearby shop to get the stuff. I spent only 300 bucks for the stuff. Then my ex and I got rid of it, when we realized there was nothing going to happen on Y2K.

I don't know how Mormons and other religions can write it off. The ice flats between Prussia and the North American continent (that the vast majority of nomads came from Africa) are insane. I still don't know how they hold on. Watch RMN will come out with a statement saying radio-carbon dating is a fool's errand type of thing. That science is a fluke, and faith and his Christness is the onl

I felt that it was a hard conversion. My parents game me a year to decide if I really wanted to become Mormon. Reading and studying LDS materials was insane. I had just started Jesus the Christ, when I got baptized. The triple combo was done. I read the Miracle for Forgiveness, and other books in the micro distribution center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (Old Hotel Utah). I was

I fell like my life was redefined by the stuff that happened with all the 'service' (not real service, like floods, and stuff, mind you) oriented stuff.
