dazed-and-confused

Brendan, I have read lots of good feedback here given by concerned friends.........i want to ask about different feelings.............your feelings..........you said that you discovered this when you were 15......that is already an awkward age......i would imagine that, looking back, you can remember all kinds of thoughts and feelings going through your head.......and i wont mention any because i dont want to "lead the witness", so to speak.........but i believe that it would do you a lot of good to get some councilling about these feelings for yourself......it may even help repair your relationship with your father and/or help you approach this situation in a way that will be better for all parties involved.......clearly you have some anger.....and thats as far as i will offer my interpretation of your feelings........you want to help your father?.......and not simply humiliate him?........get some councilling for yourself on ways to be of help to him.

OK....welcome.......whew.......i need to take a breath just after reading your intro........handicapped is a relative term........and, again.....welcome

P.S.........LOVE your sneakers.

I am a convert, and I bring this up ONLY because i have a thing about beating myself up.......I'm a bit of a perfectionist, you see, and that's what we do, and prior to becoming LDS, i had a LOT to beat myself up about. Trust in your Bishop, and do as he says. If you feel so moved as to tell him more (and i think that he probably knows this was not a one time thing), then you should do so, and THEN do waht he says........just DON'T continue to beat yourself up over it, that is the advesary working..........sometimes, forgiving oneself can be very difficult........try giving it a shot.

My dear friend, you're forgetting that this life is fleeting and NOT the end.........dont be concerned with issues of safety here........afterall, we are already indestructable and eternal.......only question is.....where will our eternity be?

personally, i LOVE those highlights.......and how is it different from a 60 year old trying to hide her grey?..........none, to my mind.......i'd go for it, and if i was stopped, i'd calmly state my argument as to why it's no different, and see what happens

AAHHHHHHHH......LOL........That was GREAT

OK.....just saw you in chat but i didnt enter....will go back....and welcome

Congradulations...........as I was reading about your day, i could feel the happiness in your heart.......:hug:

capt.....oh, my capt.....welcome

i like the fact that he used toothpicks that people threw at his wedding........cool

This exact senario happens to little boys, too.

You gotta love kids........lol

As if THAT matters......the schmooze is just packaged differently for guys (we, afterall..have no brains), and also differently for women. Creepy sales people are not gender biased............

Yes, welcome.........feel free to browse

Welcome, by all means.

LOL....I remember those nights..........then i got married, and that put an end to that.

I think that appreciating a beautiful woman is a fine thing, as one might appreciate ANYTHING beautiful, as long as one is able to remain detatched from said thing and not want to "own" it, pocess it, or even, in some cases, "rent" it (not have it for always, but only short term)........then it becomes sinful........IMHO.

I agree with Pam.....and it seems to be working.......I mean, you are still focussing lots of energy on this guy, and in a way, he IS still controlling you. Maybe you need to let go even more in order to truely break his bonds over you. Do your best to not even think about his antics.....and do try to not be bothered by them. I know.....sometimes easier said than done.

Thanks, Keith....I'm in too.......looking forward to this.......lol......I'm psyched.

jacket and tie........the fraternity

Please........NO ONE BUT THE FATHER KNOWS........why try to second guess Him......do you really think you're capable of doing that?

You know...there is also another possibility.....we are here to learn lessons and to do the best we can in moving away from various sins.......including coveting out nieghbors things as well as being judgemental......if you try, you might find other possisbilities as to why HF would allow bad people to have great "worldly" successes.

While I was studying meditation, I often found myself feeling great anger, which surprised me because i expected the exact opposite effect......but i did learn how to better identify what it was i was angry about (in those cases, it was just burried anger that was "coming out" finally) and to let go of it as best i could/can.By the way, i was also taught that for every minute you spend angry, you lose 5 minutes of life.

I'm not quite sure what it is you're asking.........not patterns in temples, but patterns OF temples?
