This talk gives good insight into why so many mormons think the church is growing. That talk and info. out of the Ensign is the only information they will be exposed to on this topic. They go away thinking that the church is growing by leaps and bounds. They now think they KNOW one more thing about the church.

Transfer as soon as you can. It will give you something to look forward to. Find out what classes will transfer if any to your new school. That will help you know which classes to focus on, and which ones are a waste of your time.

I'm sealed to loads of people that I want nothing to do with. I had NO say about if I wanted to be sealed to them or not. There is no way you can be unsealed to relatives that you don't want to be sealed to. This includes parents and siblings. I'm glad that it's all make believe, or I would be very distressed about it.

It's their job to be let down. Really, do you think you're the only one? Let them down, and move one. If you can't do it, it sounds like your roommate won't have a problem telling them to get lost. I wonder, why are you letting them push you around? Shouldn't it be the reverse?

Here on RFM we wait and hope for someone in the top leadership to tell the truth. George did that. Nobody seemed to hear him. He was ripped apart and demonized by the church. The same old tactics worked one more time. What will it take? Who will it be? Who has the courage? Who has the morals? Who? Anyone in the top leadership of Mormonism can be demonized. I'm beginning to think they all h

The ward slut would get up every fast and testimony meeting and bring the adults to tears with all her righteous babble. Her father was an orthodontist, and she was the darling of the ward. It was nauseating. She get get up to the pulpit and boo hoo about how much she loved the church. She was incredibly phony. I sometimes wonder where she is some 40 years later.

If they use the church as a weapon to keep your children from you, it will most likely backfire. Your kids will learn to hate the church with a passion. They will associate it with taking their father from them. If they ever go through any counseling they will learn just how sick and twisted people are who use their religion to take children from parents. Mormons are so sure that their way

Add all of this to my list. The one exception, is we had a gas water heater. We still heated our house with a wood stove. We lived like we were poor, even though we weren't. Until I moved away from home I never had kleenex or paper towels. That's the short list of things we did without.

Let me see, where to begin. All church meetings were to be attended or you couldn't go on the date you'd had planned for weeks. You're sick? No matter. The date is off. They tried the no dating anyone except mormons until they realized there were none. The few that existed were worse than the non mo's. They must have been extremely bad for my mother to realize this.

You can bet that Dad would haven't dreamed of doing this if he was 100 to 50 Lbs. overweight and had ugly legs. He would never have humiliated himself. Humiliating his daughter was just fine though.

I'm still in the process of working out what works for me. I'm more clear about what doesn't than what does. A man telling me that he saw God, talked with him, and that I need to follow that man and do what he tells me isn't working for me. That I KNOW for sure. Especially when multiple sex partners are involved for said male. That ANY woman would go along with this boggles the mind.

When I was younger I thought that it probably existed (the evidence), but they hadn't found it yet. I figured that in time the evidence would show up. Time moved on. Nothing. Not even at the Hill Cummorah where one of the greatest battles in history supposedly took place. That went on my shelf of things to figure out later. When I was 14 my family went to Mexico and toured the ruins. There

I didn't know there was such a thing as "mild pedophilia". It's disturbing that he phrases it like that. When I was 5 a man exposed himself to me on my way home from school. There was nothing mild about that incident. That was 55 years ago, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. After that we had a peeping tom. It terrified me.

When I lived in the midwest I had a storm door on every house I lived in. Alot of people did. It went a long way toward keeping in the heat in the winter. Now that I live on the west coast I notice hardly anyone has those big heavy duty glass doors. People here are more likely to have a screen door if anything.

Just to be perfectly clear...I have never claimed him. There are several things that he thinks and says that I don't agree with. Also, nobody gets hero status in my book.

Compromise is the only solution IMO. Be patient. She obviously has no idea that a good Mormon still has the capability to learn. There's a LOT to learn about the Mormon church that they don't tell you. In fac

I used to live in a house that had a storm door. It was an all glass door that was on the outside of a door like a screen door would be. It was heavy, and I would have felt a bit invaded if someone had opened it to knock on the inside door. I usually kept it locked though so nobody could do that. I often would leave the regular door open and the storm door locked. It was like having an all gla
