Nightengale, After checking with your town's laws about taking up sidewalk space and you find that they are there legally, how tough do you feel? Could you walk up to the display and just casually mention to them that you are disfellowshipped and then just stand there. And continue to stand there. Do you suppose that they would close up shop and steal away to get away from you?

imaworkinonit is right; teach your children critical thinking skills. As they get older, teach them about logical falacies and discuss what logical falacies they have heard.

Your DIL is dealing with narcissistic grandparents. Google Narcissism to know what she is dealing with. Here is a website that I previously got off RfM that is very illuminating. Especially, read "How to Spot the Monkey Dance" on the below website. Have DIL read this and other information about narcissism, too. She needs knowledge in order to deal with them as effectively as possib

My advise comes from the legal side of the situation. As long as you are married to your wife, you are responsible for any damage and/or vandalism she creates. You need to initiate the divorce as soon as possible and stay the H--- away from your bishop.

I like to add a can or two of chopped green chiles, drained. The last time I made them for an Ex-Mo dinner, I used Tater Tots and christened it Napoleon Dynamite Funeral Potatoes. (Watch the movie again.)

Where I live there are several Costco stores, as well as Sam's Clubs. I make sure I don't shop at the Sam's Club where my old ward is situated. I see Mormons at the Costco and Sam's Club where I shop (their underwear is observable beneath their clothing) but they don't know me. That's all that matters. I did see a polygamous family at Sam's Club once. Their manner of dress was quite eviden

Is the book a brown paperback with, I think, three rectangular panels on front depicting individuals doing various activities?

Yes, we turned in our journalings weekly and received written feedback. Yeah, it was depressing. I would never g

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Grammar Nazi here. The term is "fewer kids", not "less kids". LESS describes a singular noun, while FEWER refers to a plural noun.

I had 50 dollars this morning, but since my spending spree, I have fewer dollars in my pocket than I had this morni

I agree with Greyfort. If you're feeling uncomfortable, speak with a counsellor. There ain't nothin' wrong with gettin' counselling. I got it more than once and I admit it in public. Too many people are afraid to admit to such a thing. Also remember, everyone is different. Average is average. You are unique. So am I. So is Greyfort.

I love fruitcake. That being said, as a child my mom would spend the money and effort to make fruitcake for Christmastime. Later on, she discovered those dry store-bought ones that tasted rather bland. She read in a magazine about soaking store-bought fruitcakes in liquor, but decided to try something without alcohol, even though my parents weren't LDS. She would soak a fruitcake in apple j

If you check Google, you can find "The Late War" about the War of 1812, written in King James-style English for reading in schools to make students accustomed to reading the Bible. It was very popular in New York schools during Joseph Smith's child- and young adult-hood.
