Granite High "Farmers" and the Jordan High "Beetdiggers" We certainly had some strange/different school identifying names. I was told that the schools were originally formed when the surrounding areas were still rural (and the students really were farmers and beetdiggers). One day we had a "dress-up" day on which we were supposed to dress up as farmers. Many s

My 50th high school graduation is also this year - Granite High School in Salt Lake County. It was closed a few years ago. When I attended the 40th year reunion, I nostalgically walked through the main building's empty halls for the last time. We also had a classmate who was killed in Viet Nam shortly after graduation (from friendly fire), and there are others who are passing away as time g

HIPAA doesn't prevent you from telling Dad's doctor what you're seeing and experiencing regarding his behavior. The Dr. can just listen to you, without discussing or giving you medical information about your Dad. That gives the Dr. more information about his/her patient, which (hopefully) will help lead to a better and more effective care regimen. A talk/consultation with an attorney (who is

Seriously, your "demon" came from within you. Because of your upbringing and what you had been taught by religion, you attributed these symptoms to demon possession instead of a transient mental/mood disorder. One possible candidate is schizophrenia, the symptoms of which often begin to manifest in late adolescence. True. “Schizophrenia is characterized by profound disruption in

When I lived in south-western Idaho a few years ago, I got an early morning call one Sunday. It was someone from a local LDS Corp ward (I had never met him and I had no idea who he was). He told me that there was no church that day - it was being cancelled due to a heavy snowstorm. I hadn't been to church in many years, and I MAY have attended that ward once, approximately 6 years previous

Missionaries are not allowed to keep ANYTHING to themselves. Everything is to be reported. If there is something going on that a missionary doesn't report, his/her companion is required to report it. Missionaries seldom do anything (such as 'keeping tabs on an investigator') without direction by his/her superiors - they've told them to do it.

I'd say NOT to accept 'callings' and don't volunteer for anything. Just go through the motions as a nondescript 'member' - don't stand out and don't make waves. Concentrate on your schoolwork, and use that as an excuse why you can't do extra work for the cult. Save money in *your own* bank account for your future. At 18, ESCAPE, and live your own life.

He's making bad (bizarre) decisions, and his reasoning skills are faulty. He won't accept anyone else helping to pay for his expenses on a family vacation, but wants you to give him money so he can - in turn - give his food money to LDS Corp. And because he's giving his money to the corporation, he doesn't have the money to help pay for his family vacation. Which will give him more memorie

Since this is the same reaction to a female sexual assault victim as LDS Corp's reaction (i.e., hold a priesthood court to consider discipline for the victim), AND since LDS Corp has constantly claimed that God directly runs/influences his church, THEN this shows that God must have a hand in personally directing the JW church as well.

"I miss knowing the rules and what was expected of me." My personal experience was the opposite of this statement. After having not gone to church for a few years, I returned to see many of the rules and expectations (and gospel principles) had changed.
