I read through this thread and a few things I either missed or haven't been discussed. 1. If your husband was with a prostitute and several of them or several times he needs to be tested for STD. 2. You too need to be tested if you have been intimate since he was with this woman at any time after he was with them. 3. Do you have children? 4. What country are you in? You may love him but he does not respect you. No man who loves or respects his wife is going to go and do what he has done. Pornography is powerful but there is something else that would cause a man to so soon leave his wife to be with a prostitute. Depending on his knowledge about the church and how much he really understands will determine what the results are of his church disciplinary council. Also depends on country in and what the culture of that country is. Ben Raines

Hordak: funny but so true. Mine is people who drive with their head on the seat below their behinds. If you need to make a right hand turn then get in the right hand lane. If you are not go around the block or ahead and make a u turn. Don't cut in front of me. My list could go on and on but I spend 50,000 miles a year on the road. Turn signals on cars are something to use not to dangle all your cut little unused keychains on. Sheesh Ben Raines

1. the act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay: Some historians hold that the fall of Rome can be attributed to internal decadence. 2. moral degeneration or decay; turpitude. 3. unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence. 4. (often initial capital letter) the decadent movement in literature.

I am old so my opinion on this may not count for much. Make sure that you find someone who you would consider your "best friend", someone who will be a companion with you through all the good things with life and all the challenges that come along too. Someone to be your partner, your confidant, someone that you can tell anything and everything to. Ben Raines

My opinion is the boy is messing with your daughter. I don't know either one of them and maybe the dad is weird but it would not surprise me that the kid was on the dad's account and acting as the dad then denying it. Ben Raines

"First and Foremost" has become one of the latest catch phrases. Another is "systemic" Everything today is "Systemic" Ben Raines

FOXNews.com - U.N. Panel's Glacier-Disaster Claims Melting Away More and more information that this has been a well funded hoax for the benefit of the green energy companies. Please don't get me wrong. We should be responsible but not to excess. Ben Raines

Saw another article where 80,000 pounds of stuff is being shipped by the LDS church to Haiti. Ben Raines

Providentliving.org is a great church resource. Lots of employment help there. If ward doesn't have employment specialist stake does. Ben Raines

Are you guys discussing "Sharing Time"? Ben Raines

Another reader of Guns, Germs and Steel. I enjoyed that book a lot. A good read. Ben Raines

In Vegas try Brian's Beach. Fort Apache and Flamingo, I believe. South/West corner. They have all you can eat sushi for $27.00. Not the most expensive but very good for the price. I go there every time I am in Vegas, after living in Vegas for 8 years. Ben Raines

Snow, I appreciate your thought provoking questions. Ben Raines

I am excited. Ben Raines

It is not the missionary's rule, it is the guidance given by those who have been called to lead Christ's church. If you wish to follow Christ and his Church you know what you have been told. If you choose not that is your choice too. I have spent a lifetime trying to follow God's instruction to me and mankind and follow his revelations to me and to those who have been called to lead Christ's church. Good luck, Ben Raines

Scary start but a great comeback and game by Utah. Have had two very enjoyable games and results the last two nights. Ben Raines

Checkerboy, welcome back. Wow double the size of your family by getting married. Fun. Ben Raines

I read a book way back in the 60's titled, Black like Me. A white man took drugs to have his skin pigmentation changed to black and then he wrote about how he was treated. Very interesting read. Ben Raines

Happy Birthday Pam. It seems like years, many years, since I met you. Have a great day. Ben Raines

BYU has played a great game. I just like something with a little extra drama than such a blowout. Very lopsided game. Ben Raines

Tonight's bowl game, MAACO Bowl, was a blowout. Hope for a better game tomorrow night. Ben Raines

Guess who else has a birthday on that date? A hint, looks like a Christmas cookie. :) Born on the same date. :) Ben Raines

I have moved over 15 times in 34 years of marriage. Not once have I asked church members to help me move. I have had a friend or two help me but other than that I do it myself or have used movers. My pet peeve was the time they announced in Elder's Quorum that they wanted a bunch of people to go over and help the guy who had just bought a new home, brand new home, to go and help him pour a new concrete patio for his new house. This was a move up for him to buy the house and this was a way to increase the value of his home buy having a new patio put in. I didn't go. I would much rather go to a move than help someone increase the value of their home by building a nice new patio. Ben Raines

Traveler, I was taught to not shoot at anything that you did not recognize what or who it was. In the case of an intruder in the house I would announce in a very loud voice that I was armed and that they had better leave or I would do all I could to defend myself and my family. If it is someone in my family they would yell loudly "Dad don't shoot". :) Also taught to not place finger inside trigger guard until on target and ready to shoot. Avoids misfires in to my foot or leg. Ben Raines

Wouldn't a fish do the same thing, "to show your Christian belief"? Lattelady? Ben Raines
