Peace---as a matter of fact I have. The answer was loud and clear. It was "use the mental faculties I have given you and you will discover the truth." I did, and have discovered that JS was a fraud, that the BoM is fiction inspite of all the good things that are taught in the Mormon church, it is really no different than a miriad of other religions---all with their good and bad points, but inventions of some charismatic leader of some sort. That is what the Spirit testifies to me.

Cal,

I know this was meant for Peace, but this is a message is for all of the members of this board.

This is a LDS message board. What gives you the right to come here and say these things about our church? What your posts says is that JS was not a prophet and the Book Of Mormon isn't true. Just for "good measure" you add that the "Spirit" testifies this to you???

Cal ~ WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS HERE?

Only way to keep a woman's claws out of a man is to have your claws to deep into him for her to move them out.

No action was taken because I didn't see the interaction till 9pm this evening (my time), and by that time, both of you had posted already. And when I said "You two", I meant you two. It is nothing against anyone of a particular denomination, LDS or not LDS (I'm sure you remember that I am not LDS, right?).

"I think you're mean."

"Well, I think you're mean."

C'mon, how much more childish can you get?

I think that you are mean? Really is that as bad as it got?

I don't think that it is necessary that we all agree on everything. What I do think is important is that if we don't agree that we don't have to bash someone else to make ourselves feel better. I think that when things arise like that we should simply agree to disagree. :)

Everyone who posts here is important to someone. How would we feel if someone we cared about was being bashed on a message board because of what they believe. With the rules being enforced, the only thing that could get out of hand is the degree of bashing and therefore feelings getting hurt. Behunin is right, what your intentions are weigh very heavily here. A gentle discussion comes across a lot differently then someone trying to hurt someone else. Part of being mature is NOT always having to be right.

One my license plate of my car I have this written URRIGHT. I have read many books by Dr. Wayne Dyer. He has said that it is better to say "You Are Right" about that then to argue about anything at all. Saying you are right doesn't necessarily make them right but it ends the battle. Another thing that I have learned is that when you let another person upset you, you are giving your power away to them. Things are things that I TRY to follow but I do get carried away at times as well.

AS is a great guy. He also showed me compassion when I had questions. I also think that he could be right in what he is saying about her being in love (or lust) with your husband. I would have a talk with him he may no she doesn't and make light of it. You could then say that he should avoid all presence of evil. Spending time alone with her or any female could but your marriage in jeopardy. I don't think that it is worth taking a chance. It appears from what you are saying that he is proud of making her feel comfortable with him that he could be helping her. When people are helped or helping others with problems consoling can happen. They can build a bond that may seem even stronger than the one the two or you have. You can guide and direct him to what you need and how you need him to help you.

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is to always remind my husband HOW IMPORTANT HE IS TO ME.

Very GOOD Advice given here!

I have been married for almost 22 wonderful years.

I have been lucky cause my husband has never been the lazy one. Some times you may have to encourage him to do something you want. Service for one another is the best way to get your mate to please you. If that doesn't work you can use reverse methods. If he is lazy and doesn't pick up his clothes... just don't wash them. Natural consequences are the best teacher.

Early on I saw that communication could be a problem with us. Men naturally not want to talk they just want to fix everything and dispense with the talking. I think it makes them feel very vulnerable and they don't like that.

As far as him looking that is VERY normal. He may be doing that to try and make you jealous. If he catches someone looking at you he may look at someone else just to make himself feel better. I think that after you say something once you shouldn't keep on him about it. If he knows that he is getting to you it could only encourage him more. Things mellow out quite a bit when you both mature.

Gotta run the maid just arrived!

If I shouted I would hear my own echo in here.

I know that LDS Talk doesn't owe me anything but I found a home here. Not much of a life when a message board feels like part of your family.

This is a place I could come to, to laugh, to cry, to vent and to learn. I can understand the enforced rules, but the missing Posts? Most of the things that were really bad were gone I thought. If not they would be been buried with the new posts as they came in. This is so different here now. I don't plan to leave but if all my friends don't come here then what's the fun of it? LDS Talk has been the most frequented site on my computer, besides my home page. Too many changes all at once has us feeling like the rug has been pulled out from under us and landing hard on the ground.
