The emotions are going to be high as this mercenary is not released yet from his mission. So, they will feel extremely obligated to pay homage to church that Sunday -- more so than usual. On another note regarding the returning missionary, Talk to the returning missionary about numbers. Not of baptisms, but about his daily stats. Doors knocked, people talked to, discussions preached, boms

This is weird.... I have not thought about the goslings in a long time, then 2 days ago I was thinking about a lesson in elders quorum his dad gave. It was particularly confrontational and funny. Then I see Ryan and put it all together. I was a mercenary for the lord when Ryan's parents were going through a divorce. It was insane how the ward took sides in that episode. I met Donna a few tim

You messed with the secret formula for successful home teaching. If you can't end with a prayer, did it really happen? Or that might be his question to himself.

And to think that at least once a year, there is a 5th Sunday lesson where they tell us all about lds adoption services. It irritates the crap out of me, that there is testimony borne about the inspired program of the church to take babies away from pregnant single sisters. And that is the message of the meeting, if you are single and pregnant, give the baby to lds social service, or if you kno

In 2006, a year after Katrina and Rita, our stake did a survey with the same questions listed above. The information was collected and given to the stake, then some bone head in the stake leadership gave that information to some disaster center in Houston and the DHS. I avoided that survey. My mindset was "we have sufficient for our needs" but my wife answered. I was pissed that the

I just returned from Mombasa and Nairobi about a week ago. I was there on business so that experience would be quite a bit different than tourism and what not. Regarding safety, I never felt unsafe or at risk of any thing bad in either place. I had a driver, and do not recommend trying to drive in Mombasa. You would have to be insane to drive there. As far as accommodations, I was stayin

MLM's are a type and a shadow of the afterlife. The MLM requires you to find a recruit, and those recruits find recruits, etc. Bam! Great shall be your reward and glory. The church requires you to find investigators who become members. A few iterations of that, and bam! God has a pile of glory too. Additionally Mo's are to reproduce so quickly that there are to be 7 to 10 sucker

The biggest question I had was why the issues David and Solomon had with the wives and concubines. What ever it says the problem was in Jacob and that polygamy was practiced in the 1800's. I brout this up to the mp and he said something that more placated than answered my "concern". That was 20 years ago and it took about 17 years to finally come to fruition and reach the point to sa

A relative refuses to see r rated movies and read books that have language they don't like and hates it when I swear. The subject came up recently when I had cause to cut loose with all kinds of language for some reason. The relative relived the memory of avoiding swear language when she was a girl by not reading assigned books with language. Did any one else do that? I never refused to read

This is going to sound very mean, but I don't intend for it to be, it was just an observation that left me laughing for days, and months. We had a regional conference some time ago that was broadcast from slc. It was strange because I could tell it was a set some where, and the speakers would come and go.

Exactly! That must be where the faithful have the subconscious seed planted to be suckers for MLM's. God gets into a higher diamond club by all of us returning and adding to his glory. The forever family concept is really for the parents. I would not want to be an eternal subordinate to my folks, fine people they are not with standing.

Thinking about the space topic and the mall. For 5 billion the church could have financed their own space program. I guess that sounds like it should be more a Scientology investment. 5 billion. That is a staggering amount of money. I wish they would have asked the members in a general assembly, "All in favor of landing Elohim I on the moon signify by raising your right hand. All oppos

Funerals are a fantastic recruiting opportunity for many religions. I've gone to 3 funerals in the past year, and the Protestant preachers hijacked those funerals almost as bad as all lds ones.

For a period of time on the mission we were told to sell the bom's. I cannot remember why, but I think some one gave me $20 Canadian for the crazy thing. It may have been after a kikuchi visit in '94. It lasted for about 3 months, then we were told to give it away again. It was bizarre and I felt like a Jehovah's witness then.
