I would end it with him and talk to the bishop yourself. He should do the same, no person is worth living in sin. That being said, he sounds the same as me a few months ago, he's more scared of his pride being injured than anything else. Once you've talked to the bishop and have repented, if he has done the same then you can get back together and get married. Problems like these cant be fixed together.

I dont have an issue with video games, saying games themselves are bad is a biased statement. Yes, playing them to often is bad for you, but so is anything else. You just have to have moderation.

my hubby says, to get out of the friend zone, don't wait too long...let her know quickly, do something more than "friendly" send her flowers, etc... let her know that you are interested in a romantic relationship with her...if you are a friend for too long you could end up a friend forever.
Be calm, and confident
I actually let myself fall in the friend zone first, get to know them, and then see how things progress from. Its not hard to get out of the friend zone lol.

I ran into people like that all the time in my hometown, it helps if youre the minority in a town that has almost no LDS influence. Ive had conversations with almost every major christian group, except for Jehovahs Witness, and non religious people as well.
Its interesting that the non religious people Ive talked to seem to love general LDS beliefs.

You need to remember that by being in the Military you are serving every single Citizen of the United States. And service towards others is perfectly fine on Sundays. I would just get permission from your bishop to bless sacrament yourself and to study from your scriptures longer that day, if possible.

umm Ive never heard of something like this happening, if it has then its in a very small minority, I would say 99% of the discussions of the Book of Mormon held by people not mormon are negitave. Even youtube is full of people like that.

hey i love Jarjar!
And thats not every one, the force is telling me that he missed everything on hoth along with some others but i doubt you all would sit and read all of them lol.

agree with urban but for different reasons...
While idk how you should stop her soon, itll lead to other things when she gets older if you dont...

Humans dont have a full understanding of time is, because of that its impossible to tell whats ment by "time and all eternity." I personally dont think time exists, i think its just an illusion of creation and death and of humans ability to know that something has happened and something will happen.

I think that the anti christ is just satan. it matches him perfectly and he will be the one to bring about the events fortold in the Book of Revelations. I doubt a human would be able to do such a thing because even Obamas policies arent going so well, and they arent exactly evil like what the anti christ is supposed to do. (just an example, I know he isnt the anti christ but its intresting that 2012 is his last year in office lol)

Okay this is one man's perspective but he pretty much lays out what I have always been taught. This is from a question and answer forum so I will just quote all of it.
Gramps,
What is meant by the earth being the Lord’s footstool?
Rachel & Grant, from Stansbury Park, Utah
Dear Rachel. & Grant,
Think of it!! Of all the infinite number of worlds in the universe, the Savior chose this world, our earth, in which to take upon himself a mortal stature and work out the great atoning sacrifice, by which he suffered fully for all the sins of all mortal humanity that have ever lived or will ever live on all of those infinite worlds! The great infinity of that number was expressed by Enoch, who said—
And were it possible that man could number the particles of the earth, yea, millions of earths like this, it would not be a beginning to the number of thy creations; and thy curtains are stretched out still; and yet thou art there, and thy bosom is there (Moses 7:30).
And the Savior declared that of all those infinite worlds, this earth is the most wicked of them all—Wherefore, I can stretch forth mine hands and hold all the creations which I have made; and mine eye can pierce them also, and among all the workmanship of mine hands there has not been so great wickedness as among thy brethren (Moses 7:36).
As a matter of fact, He came to this earth to work out the great atonement because it was the most wicked of all the worlds.He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth (D&C 88:6)
When the earth is purified it will become a fit celestial abode for the Savior himself to dwell upon—“It assures me that God lives; and if I am faithful, I shall obtain the blessings of the celestial kingdom. The earth will become purified and made a fit abode for heavenly beings and for the Lord our God to come and dwell upon, which he will do during the millennium” (President Joseph Fielding Smith, Conference Report, October 1968, p.125).
I imagine that after the millennium when the earth will have attained its celestial glory that it may even be the residence of the Savior. Since the earth was the most wicked of all creations, I would imagine that it will become the most righteous of all creations–among the brightest stars of the universe. This thought is consistent with the proliferation of opposites in the Lord’s doings. (We see that in the great density of chiastic [opposite] arrangements in the scriptures).So the earth being the Lord’s footstool is a euphemism for the fact that the Lord will plant his feet upon the earth, i.e., He will dwell here.
Gramps
ok so why are we the lucky ones to have to deal with Satan?
-
yeah our ward holds events on saturdays, with an excellent fireworks show put together by a member who is alowed to own them

Happy birthday!!!!

(emphasis mine)
May I ask why?
Because thats how part of my life has been even though I grew up in the church, now without the churches influence I would imagine i wouldve stayed that way

Yes but you need to be careful about confusing Gifts from God with Gifts from Satan. Both may seem good but while one inicreases faith the other increases your ego and makes you think you dont need God to help you

... and seriously, I wonder if anyone can tell me how Satan tempts.
Person after person says that he does but I'd like to know HOW...
He knows what are Spirit was like, which is our Basic personality. Hes also seen us grow up and hes watched us develop into who we are now so he pretty much knows everythiing about us. So he usesdifferent ways to tempt us, He could go the more direct approach and Directly whisper to us urging us to do something wrong, He tricks us saying into believing that something wrong is good. He could even convince us to do something Good, then make us not like it. Really the possibilites are endless because the knowledge that he has about us is endless. I would think that the way he tempts us is different for everyone just like the Holy Ghost talking to someone is different. If its any consulation though he cant know our thoughts and our intentions unless we say it outloud. Thats why I pray in silent during personal prayers

I was LDS. Now I am agnostic.
May I ask why?

I actually came to a conclusioin to this awhile ago. In fact this wouldve happened if I wasnt born in the Church. I would have no Religious faith because none would make sense to me, I came to the conclusion during my "rebellious" period that if there was a God then his church would have to be the LDS one. Therefore assuming I would have the same intellengence, I would think there was no God or he gave up on us, I would be a horrible person caring only about myself. not something I like to think about

Different Gifts are given to us, and are associated with the Power of the Priesthood. Because its a part of the Priesthood Spiritual Gifts are activated based on our Faith.

Ive never heard him state incorrect facts.

My own view on it is that weve been given moral agency, now in order for us to be compleatly free and to have compleat moral agency everything has to have a balance for how much good and evil it can do, so you can look at all the evil done and say "Thats how much evils been done, so how much Good would balance that" in the case of the internet I would say alot

I know what a worm hole is, but I didnt know if a black hole is like a worm hole just one way.

I think a "perfect" marriage would be boring, that being said Im not married myself so that opinion may change.
