Good point on that I used to use the lords name and the sons name in vain all the time and never once thougth about the efects of it then one day someone got really mad at me about the language i was using. I now feel the same way if someone needs to use inapropriate wording then they need to know that there are consequences to it to. If we are tought to love one another then there should be nothing said in anger and hate any way it should only be words of kindness and yes there are times when you need to raise your voice to explain and to teach and to get your point accross but remember to do it lovingly and with out anger and hate in your voice, because some times it is not what you say but how you say it. The way you talk and the words you say affect more then just you, It brought me back to the movie bambi if you cant say anything nice dont say anything at all

Wow, wolfjingles, that is an OLD identity! what did you mean by it is an old identy (i am a little stupid some days sorry)

I agree with you on that. Yes christ was basicaly telling them in a strong stern voice that this is how it is . when it is to teach someone or to help some one understand right from wrong but not out of pure anger and hate i think that is the difference. There is two versions of strong words there are words that you will later regret and be like why did i say that then there are othere words that explain and teach yet are strong and firm words When you yell at a child for runing into the road or you tell off a child who shoplifted or who is about to do something that will harm the child or someone else. Some times stern words are apropriate but just out of anger or for the sake of saying them is inapropriat that is all i am trying to say

I have been sitting here reading what every one is saying about language and i thought about something that someone told me and that was let no angry words by you be said for the may be the last things said. I did not ever really understand it until i told a freind of mine off one night later that night he was killed in an accident and the last things i said to him were unapropriate and uncalled for. SO i guess i am saying what would be the last thing you would want someone to hear would it be profanity out of hanger or working through a problem before saying a calm good bye. I mean really God sent us here to learn and i mean if Christ could keep his tongue when he was hung on the cross i mean no murmring word did he say no swearing no words out of anger, Christ final words were forgive them for they know not what they do. HE did not yell and freak out when things got tough he was understanding and lovable and honest and only spoke to people with respect. This is not an easy task but it is something we need to work at day by day so that our words are words of encouragement not words of hate this is just my opinion and i am probably one one the worste with things like this but i am working on it day by day and hope to some day be able to only speak kind words

Thanks for that input, I really think that is a better way to look at it then to worry about what and how. I never thought about it but you are right we are there to serve the lord and if i can keep that in mind the rest will happen thanks

i dont know if i should really add this to what has been said. I used to swear a lot and i mean ALOT. still some days i slip and still say things that i should not. What got me to realise that my language was part of the problem was that i was sitting there one day and when to get my causing from school. walking home a car ran a red light and almost hit me and my 5 year old causin so i yelled at the driver to f off basically then when we got home my causin walked in the kitchen and repeated it to his mother. That is when i realised that mabe the language was inapropriate and really i did not need to use it to get my point accross. Now i make a consious effort to cut the language when i am mad it still slips once in a while but not as much as it did. I mean the only way we are going to kill the language is if it is not used around our children so they will not use it

i am a girl so weather i serve or not people are not going to give me a hard time as far as being an rm. But it is just i dont know what to expect and people have expectations of what they want me to do so. that is why i am here trying to figure it out

thanks for the input. I realy feel i should serve a mission. The more i pray about it the stronger the feeling gets that i should serve a mission so i guess i just need to get organised and go and who caraes what any one else thinks. They have time to cool off while i am gone right???

Different people eat different acording to there health some people have to eat meat doctors orders for the things that are in it and what is does for them. exanple there are sertain things in hamburger that my friend needs in her system to keep her going and she can get it from other foods but think about it the doctor said eat it so does she tell the doctor no or does she eat it and stay healthy.

hey To be a misisonary or not is my question??? I have always been told it is up to me and the things is any way i go someone is going to be disapointed in me. I have prayed about it and feel i should serve a mission. I dont know what to excpect though so if any one has insite on this please it would be apreciated

sorry if you feel i am making up problems i am not trying to it is just that i know i have done a lot of things that i should not have and i guess i am just wondeing were i stand with all this at this point I dont want to be someone that goes out there to serve a mission and then gives up and comes back home i have seen that happen so many times so i guess i am worried that is all

what do you mean by raised the bar i really would not want to get stuck with a bunch off wakos but what if i am one of the wakoes at times i mean is being on a mission do you have to be serious all the time what if your companion hates you or is the total oposite from you

what is it like being on a mission is it really as hard as what some people say what if you get out there and freak out then what happens and it there any thing besideds health that can make you come home early i know i am asking a lot of questions but these are the things i am worried about and i want to know as much as i can before i make up my mind

So it is more personal preference on this then any thing. It is a hard decision to make and i am afraid if i make the wrong one i will later regret it and i try to live so that there are little regrets cause well i already have regrets for the way i live my life and i dont want to make the wrong decission on this and end up regreting it. Part of me wants to serve and to teach others and bring other to the knowledge of the gospel and to share with them my testemony and yet.... Part of me feels like i blew the mission thig out when i decided to turn from the chruch years ago but i have since returned to the church and now would love to go tell the world about it i just dont know if i can

OK it is better to serve a mission or not to serve in general I mean from a guy or girl perspective should girls serve as well as guys or not and how do you know if you are supposed to serve and can you serve despite comiting sins or is there a sin so bad that it stops you from serving a mission and if you cant serve would people look down on you just some questions for you all thanks
