I started writing my autobiography. I'm proud of myself for beginning this. My wife and family have been telling me I should do this for a long time now. I finally felt the urge.

What does this mean in LDS doctrine? When is it required? How does the regular priesthood or other prayers fall short? How does yelling out to god 3 times "Oh god, hear the words of my mouth" have more power than a crying child beside his dying parent? WTF? I just want to know the Mormon doctrine explaining this.

I'm enjoying life! No religious pressure... My job is a perfect fit and and my supervisor tells me how great I am performing and how valuable I am every day...lol I have totally opened up to my wife and we feel safe communicating.

I'll hold on until the end. I'm here for you too. I just want a mind erase so I don't have to live with certain experiences. I need the therapy from "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind." My shit pales in comparison. I'm thinking about you..

A close relative shared some thread on FB that described horrible deaths of people who either questioned the existence of a god, or made derogatory statements towards a god. I lost my shit. A few days ago, I opened up to my wife and relived an experience that contributed to my PTSD. She was so supportive and listened. The experience brought a lot to the surface. It was a healing and bond

My favorite thing to do is downhill ski. I can't do that now due location. I love good video games and "The Last of Us" is blowing my mind. I am so emotionally involved and it's so scary that I have to take breaks. What do y'all do to unwind or to get away?

I was in a slump lately before I found a great job and would lose patience with my kids. I was quick to fuss and all of that. But even in that period, I would apologize and explain what I meant to address. This weekend, my son had his first All-Star baseball series. They played 5 games this weekend and did very well. They played a team who would heckle constantly and do other unsportsman

In my experience, licked cupcakes know what the hell to do! Yet, it doesn't matter how much a cupcake has chosen to be licked...if it doesn't want to be licked then the person wanting to lick it needs to control themselves...no matter what frosting the cupcake is wearing, or how tempting it may look.

Thanks for your reply Fidget :) In some aspects I agree we are all are created by nature. We are all connected in the sense that we are all made up of the same material and out of the same material in different organizations. When you look at the basic building blocks and everything. Stars, dirt, people, etc... Elements come together to form something and disperse later. Although I do

I'm kind of struggling with this within myself. Not in a bad way, but just trying to figure myself out. I used to believe things would work out because I thought a god was in control of things and that this god wanted things to always work out (after some hard times) but I always felt in the end a god wanted me to triumph and be happy. Now I have no belief in a god or any type of behind th

Some girl posted this on another forum and I agree 100%. "Funerals should be in honor of the deceased. Life itself gives enough material for any church that wants to focus on faith and lessons. When a human dies, the funeral is the last chance for a solid collective of memories. It is the last expolsion of memory they have. After, their memory is carried in individual memories. An

First of all, my heart hurts for the family. I'm posting this as an example of how the LDS church creates an environment that can make a tragedy potentially even more painful. The bishop and stake president each gave blessings promising full recovery. A child who was not quite 3 was found while drowning. Here is the sequence of events posted by the child's mother: "ODS g

I obviously needed a job. I feel happy, carefree, excited, motivated, hopeful, empathetic, etc. I feel like myself again. I even cut waaaaay back on drinking the past few days. I feel like Michael J.

I just dropped one FB friend. He was an previous co-worker of mine and works with my old boss' sister. This "friend" had me a tad suspicious when he commented "Where at?" but didn't hit like.

I think the poking me with a stick is probably spot on. I don't think he meant "my influence is over." This guy has gone so far out of his way to attempt sabotage on me that it's almost impressive.

I posted this in another thread but I'm curious how concerned to be or how to handle it.
