Beats me.....it never once occurred to me to pray or seek guidance from any religious individual whenever I've gone through a tough patch. I always figured it was none of their friggin' business so why would I want to share anything with someone I don't know from Adam?

My dear departed Dad, was a staunch believer in the MORG (EQP, HP, HC), was a hard working farmer and cattleman, a fabulous, loving husband, father and grandfather and very trusting individual always wanting to help others....and then a MORG "friend" who we found out later had misrepresented the facts of the situation repeatedly got him to invest in a shady real estate development that

I am obese (although 150 lbs lighter than when I peaked), my folks were both overweight, and I remember sooo many TBM's back in the 60's and 70's who were obese. And every friggin' one of them would have defended the WOW but if I read the WOW correctly, eating in such a manner as to become obese is a direct violation of the WOW...so they were just a bunch of lyin' hypocrite SOB's......I never fol

Funny how fucked up some Dad's are....not letting you have a motorcycle so you wouldn't die before your mission????..bizarre....my kid brother got a Honda 55 when he was 14 to ride into the city to play baseball (we lived on a farm)...and we were always riding out bikes on country roads without helmets (not invented for bicycles yet), swimming in the canals on hot summer days without a lifeguard

My Mom converted in 1959 when I was 11, 20 years after she married Dad. I remember the stake missionaries coming out to the farm numerous times and talking to her....I went and watched TV 'cause it was boring....but after getting dunked, she became a very righteous and somewhat strident TBM, more so than Dad. So I always got along better with my Dad. Don't know ahy it took so long to take the pl

I'd say the growth religious cult in southern Alberta is the "born again's".....don't know if the mishies actually convert anybody here but the Cult expands through good breeding practices...seem's like everyone needs to have at least 6 kids and the docs, dentists and lawyers make even more....
