One of the hardest dilemnas. We had a bishop once that his wife had died. He married a widow in the temple but as a time only marriage. They did have one son, I believe. lol its been a long time so not absolutely sure the son was both of theirs. Anyway they were not as young as the OP but not old by any means. I would do a lot of praying about it. It is good you are being honest with your dates and prospective dates.

I like Groundhog Day. We watched it over and over and over. lol. Never saw Time Enough at Last that I remember. Can not imagine not being able to read. We also watch Jurassic Park over and over. My husband loved that movie. Still does in fact. Lost is SF. One of the two main writer/directors, Damon Laurence Lindelof, is a great fan of the older sf classics. Not to mention JJ Abrams. There really are a lot of good sf movies after all. lol. Going to Netflix made me wonder.

I never knew there were watchers or chaperons. What is up with this?

The prophet is to lead and guide the church, which is his stewardship. Prayer is to guide us, in our stewardships. The prophets have told us to pray as well. They work together not separately.

I read the story and it cracked me up. The Twilight Zone did have some twisted thinking. :) I still like Independence Day even if I was puzzled by the virus idea as well. To me it was a rabble raising movie of patriotism and working together and hope. It was a movie of hope that in the event of extreme disaster we could forget out differences and remember we are all just people where ever we live. I am not fond of war movies generally even sf. Movies that delve into humanity and how we think are so much better than movies that try to have the best explosions, armor and weapons just turn me off unless they offer hope for people to change for the better. How is Gremlins a sf movie? Now that is a stupid series and is not sf. Just stupid horror. :)

If you never tried Lost then give it a shot. It will entertain,annoy and in the end educate you especially if you follow on Lost forums.

How could I have forgotten Independence Day? One of my all time favorites.

The development of the cylon stuff is a big part of my disinterest in the show, Battlestar Galactic. Every time you turned around people turned out to be cylons. An old rule of sf was you had to have one basic 'scientific' idea that had to be accepted as true that wasnt. Everything else had to be believable from that perspective. When ever I did watch the show too much had changed for it to be connected and believable. Now many in my family loved it but .... I just never could.

It has to do with privacy taboos. Sex and urinating are private functions or so women tend to believe. It is hard for us to understand wanting to do either in public with or without friends.

I think you made a wise decision after doing all the right things. Prayer, investigation and discussion. No doubt the future will bring you new chances and changes. Glad you got it sorted out. :)

I have always been a Star Trek and Star War fan. Battlestar Galactica was too soap opera for me but it was real sf. :) I did like the first Battlestar Galactic a lot. I loved Lost even though it might not be quite sf. The thing is that the fans made it an exploration of ways to explain the series in scientific terms. It was very thought provoking and educational. Oh and yes, Alphas. Now that one covered the bases for me. I have always been a fan of psi sf. My very favorite in fact.

I have seen a person, not going to say who, with mpd/did. When they switch sometimes no one wants to take over, because of stress. What happens then is a person comes out that is devoid of memories but usually can speak. The point I want to make is that this person is pure in that they seem to have had no influence of the life environment or experience. They are what would be without the traumas they have endured. It is a very interesting experience. For me, it confirmed that we are who we are when we are born but the things that we go through do make changes. Sometimes I think we spend a lot of time trying to find that base again with the spirit in control and not our carnal influences.

I love sf but so much of the sf movies are just horror shows with little to do with sf other then having monsters. The 2001 movies are interesting but pretty disordered. I liked the attempt made with Dune. It had too much to put in one show, especially since they combined novels to make the one movie. Without reading the books it was probably pretty confusing. The problem with a great sf book is that it is going to be too difficult to convert to screen for a more general audience. I think the foundation series might make a good mini series. It covers a lot of time but is relatively uncomplicated. Some of the more classic B sf are pretty hilarious to watch. Once saw one that had a carpet with people under it going up steps of, perhaps, a city hall. You could see the people and and occasional arm or leg sticking out. We have never been able to find the movie by name so we just call it 'The Carpet Monster Movie'. Another we have liked is 'The Bat/Rat/Spider on Mars Movie'. Not the real name but its what I know it by. This one does show up on late night occasionally.

Vort, show me where you did not say people who have been raped or molested are impartial sources and you will not have to look to those with CLEARER vision and more LEVEL heads for ideas on how to proceed on this path? It looks pretty clear to me. Or are you possibly saying you believe them, maybe, but they are not impartial or have clear enough heads to have ideas worth looking at for proceeding on the path.

NO. Absolutely NO! You only listen and believe people who have no idea what they are talking about because they have never been abused or raped? That sounds amazingly like antimormons saying you can not ask a mormon what they believe because they are not neutral. The only people who know about rape and molesting are people who have been. THEY are the experts.

Theres a really cool link on facebook called natural homes. Oh my gosh. Some of the most amazing wonderful houses. I would like one with lots of waters for green grass and lots of flowers. LOTS. :)

What are the opportunities for job climbs in the offered job??

I wish my parents had been more suspicious and more knowledgable.

We have to make our own priority list but I am going to bet that strangers off the street are not going to top any of our lists.

Blessings are not done in public areas without drawing a curtain in most, if not all, circumstances.

Family, friends, and church. Community as in city or town is not Mayberry. It is sad we cant automatically trust everyone but we can not.

Most strangers, who care about kids, do not strike up conversations with them when they are not with adults. Do you? Have you ever been 'groomed'? Grooming takes a lot longer than a simple conversation. This is not the issue being addressed. We can discuss grooming if you want. Its a very unpleasant subject but it is a subject I do know a lot about, much from personal experience.

Kikiah, be careful. It is not hard to get trapped into more of a relationship than you were wanting. Remember back to when you wanted nothing to do with him? Now you are finding excuses for his behavior and trying to help him repent and learn even while you say he is looking for an 'in to your life' ? Well he has found an 'in'. You trying to be a good person and not abandoning him to his own fate. He is not in your stewardship, your family, or even your friends. Move back and away and let those in his circle deal with him.

Fear is not the thing I am talking about. Common sense is. I have 8 kids and we did not instill fear into the them. What we were going for is common sense and it is not common sense to allow children to talk to strangers alone. It is common sense to teach them who to go to in emergencies and that is not just to any stranger on the street. Give them practical knowledge so they can protect themselves when necessary. it makes no sense to tell them that every stranger is a boogy man/woman and they should scream and run at the mere glance of one. It does make sense to tell them to not respond to strangers starting conversations with them and to move away from people who do.
