I've read the miracle of forgiveness before.....a bazillion years ago. It made me feel like every single thing I did was wrong . I didn't like that book AT ALL.

Bender, I agree with you.......most girls go to BYU to get their MRS. degree. My Mom went to BYU in 1927'ish for about one semester ( or quarter , whatever it was back then ). She met my Dad & boom , started having kids right away !!!

I hate the arrogance in the church. People think they're so damned humble , but they'll point out faults & be so danged judgemental at any time. I come from a HUGE Mormon & I grew up in Utah. But the arrogance & Holier than thou attitudes drive me nuts. I probably haven't covered this very well, but.........just sayin'. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my whi

I have one of the most hysterical things. This happened when I was about 12 yrs old. ( Almost 50 yrs ago ) I had heard that masturbating was a big 'No,No'. Quite honestly , I didn't even know, at that age , what masturbating was. ( My Mom wouldn't even let us say, God forbid, the word SEX in the house. ) Well, since I had no clue what it was, I decided that masturbation must be thinkin' dirt

You know what drives me CRAZY , y'all. ( And if this is ridiculous (sp?) to everybody , feel free to let me know !! ) When I was on my mission to Louisiana from 1976 to 78 , there was 3 million members of the Mormon Church back then. Read my words : 3 million in 1976. There is only 15 million, now , in 2015. 39 YEARS later & it's only 15 million. ( And how many of the 15

Godzilla has a really good point , BiteMe. Maybe y'all should think about making your mtg in the evening. Then , it'd feel like a date !! Then again , if this is the Sacrament Mtg. of the St. Judas the Traitor Ward .......I guess it better stay at 10 AM. Same as everyone else's ward ! Whoops !!!

I'm positive this subject has been on here before....probably several times. I live in Missouri & I keep hearing how Mormons in Utah are leaving the Mormon Church in droves. I grew up in Draper, Utah. We've lived here for almost 25 yrs.

VerilyVerily.........You forgot Ted Bundy . He was in our singles branch back in part of the 70's, and my best friend wanted to date him so bad that she'd drive me crazy . ( I wasn't interested at all because I always wanted to go on a mission . )
