Lol That made me laugh. I remember that from Gods army.

Thank you for sharing that with me. For some odd reason I get anxiety when I think about this.It has really really bothered me ever since I heard this.I just wonder why would God put us in families down here on earth if it wasn't so in heaven? What would be the purpose?

I agree with all of you.I just think Im not going to say anything right now because it might not be pretty.

She is Assembly of God. I guess I could go to a website.Its just confusing to me why people believe what they do.

I have a friend who used to be a member but is no longer a member.I stayed friends with her even though she made really bad decisions.She ended up having an affair with a married man.Broke that marriage up and ended up marrying this man.After a couple of years of abuse and pain he cheated on her.She was all over facebook how horrible he was,she learned her lesson,it was karma biting her back,never again,told us horrible stories that he did including throwing her adopted kids pictures in the toilet got us all upset at him and all of us posting motivational comments to help her through this.She got us all involved in her misery.Found out yesterday he left the woman he left her for and now wants her back and shes going to do it!!! The reason I found out is her mother called me one day last week and said she never came home all night long and her kids called grandma for help.Turns out she had stayed all night with this jerk and left her kids at home.(They are early teens) My stomach has been sick sick sick ever since I found out.What in the world do I say to her now?

No no no I do not believe that at all.Im just curious where did she get this information.It just doesn't make sense to me.Is there something in the scriptures that she read? Did her preacher tell her this? Curious why anyone would believe this. Something I have always loved about the gospel is it makes so much sense to me. What bothered me most is she was ok about what she was telling me.

Being brought up in the church I have no idea what other religons believe. I had a coworker tell me that her religon believed that when we die and we see our loved ones we won't know them as members of our families. What else would they be known to us then? Why are we put in families down here on earth then? If it don't make sense it ain't true.......says Judge Judy This has really bothered me and didn't seem to bother my coworker whatsoever. Does anyone know where she got this from? Certainly not in the scriptures.

Ive been on prozac for over 20 years.Antidepressants make you feel better not worse.If anything you will be happier and feel more in control.I have been Primary Pres. Primary Teacher,Sunday School teacher,music leader. There is no reason to ask to be released. At least from my experience.

Funny I was thinking about this yesterday at church.I came to the conclusion that it is so much more than just listening to talks on Sunday in fact that is a very small part of it. We have to LIVE the gospel everyday.Live what the gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us.If we live the gospel to the fullness then thats where you get the fullfillment you are looking for. Serving others and loving another,keeping the commandments.Thats where the real meat of the gospel is.At least to me it is.

One more thing.If they are openly gay.They can talk about it share about it.Would you want your son hearing about the scout who drinks or does drugs? What is the difference?Its about the influence they can have on our beliefs and what we stand against. Im just so confused about this.

Something Ive been thinking about is I taught my kids to never judge anyone and be kind to everyone but I never wanted to them to hang out with other kids who did not obey what the church teaches including those who drink,smoke,drugs. If we knew that a scout was drinking would we want our scouts to be around that kind of influence? Boys talk. When they are in their tent waiting for sleep they talk. What kind of influence do you want your kid to hear in a tent at night when they are alone. The whole thing bothers me. I don't hang around and spend lots of time with those who drink,smoke etc.... they are part of the world and we should not judge but I do not want to be around that kind of influence to be tempted in any way.

Reading and thinking about all of this. I keep forgeting that WE the church are not the BSA. Im more concerned about the sleeping arrangements then anything I guess.

I mean no offense to gays.I wouldn't want my son rooming with someone that might have feelings for them.Same thing with gay boys who are camping ogether and might have affections for the boy he is sleeping beside.I would feel the same way if the church said it was ok for girls and boys to room together for youth conference. I also don't understand if we are letting gay youth in scouts why not gay adults? Do they turn into pedifiles when they turn into gay adults.I don't get any of this.

Help me understand why this is ok with the church.Why don't we let the boys and girls sleep in the same room at youth conference? Isn't it the same thing with gay boys sleeping with boys at a campout? My very weak testimony just got weaker with this statement from the church. I truly want to understand this. I thought God was unchanging and not respector of men. I just can't wrap my head around this decision. Can anyone explain this to me?

I ended up writing an email to this sister this morning.I told her I was sorry the whole thing happened. I was told Sunday that when she was crying to the bishops couselors that she was going to call me to apoligize.Ive not heard a thing yet but this is normal for her. She once told a bunch of us sisters that if your offended its not her fault. I guess its time to move on.I feel better now that I have emailed her and told her I forgive her.Does she have to say sorry for me to forgive her? I don't know but I did.

Oh that had to be horrible.Im sorry that happened.

Who said it was positive? I missed that. It was wrong to yell at her in front of the kids.I don't see where you got that. He has already apoligized to couple of the youth and he is going to tell him how wrong he was at church on Sunday.

If this were the first time ever I would blow it off. But when its over and over and over you have to stop it.I think thats why my husband finally blew......at the wrong place......and the wrong time unfortuntely

Relief Society Pres.emailed me. Her son was in the room.Her son said "Brother ______ sure loves his wife" Maybe the youth are getting something totally different out of this. Thank you for your comments.

So far NOONE has called us or emailed us.

Vort you are right.I hate that the youth saw this.I am just sick.

Right.It was a sister in the ward. A lot of people have been to the Bishop over her but nothing is ever said.Its like at school when students go to the principal for a bully and nothing is ever done and then people wonder why the go crazy on them.Same situation at church.Its got to stop.This is years coming My husband just had all he can take.He is very protectivce of me.Everyone walks on eggshells around her. But if shes picking on me at least shes not picking on someone else. My husband has already contacted 2 of the youth and apoligized.It must be hard on him.

For some reason I have it my head is if my husband gets in trouble then I do to.Dont know why I feel like that.

Yesterday I gave a talk and after my talk a sister who is always always always offending others said something about part of my talk to me.Of course it upset me.This is not the first and I am not the first person she has hurt or offended. I walked away not saying a word to her.I told my husband what had happened and he was sooooo mad. He walked into her classroom full of teenagers and yelled at her in front of them. I know he was wrong and he knows it was wrong and has said he will go to class next week and apoligize to the class. How much trouble will he be in when the Bishop finds out? The Bishop was out of town. Im not sorry what he said to this sister because she has done this for years but noone has ever said anything to her till now. She went crying to the counselors which Im very confused because over the years she has never cried before over hurting others. I just feel sick over the whole thing!! Why do these things happen to me?What am I doing wrong??????

Hope my son doesn't read this.You can still serve God and not go on a mission.My son had to come home because he had anxiety and simply did not want to serve a mission. Had friend who's son committed suicide because he did not want to go on a mission. My sons mission president told him to not feel guilty about going home that there were other ways he could serve God. He feels a lot of guilt but even when I ask him today if he regrets his decision he say no. Just my 2 cents.
