I generally define destructive as being malicious or causing harm. I don't believe same sex relationships are malicious or cause harm. Homosexuals are human like everyone else, and as such, some individuals will be malicious and harmful just as some heterosexuals will be malicious and harmful.

That's exactly why I posted it, it was in response to your 'bet' So yes, we do exist!

^ You're not far off. I'm OCD definitely.

Congratulations on a life change you feel good about. And the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is excellent. I know they have a big following outside of the LDS community.

To directly answer the thread's title, the answer is NO. Both my parents are LDS converts and neither served missions. So as far as it being mandatory, nope, it isn't. That said, both my parents were in their mid to late 20's when they joined, I believe. They already had children, etc., so it just wasn't in the deck of cards for them, too. Now that the are retirement age, they are considering serving a couple's mission.

I personally don't believe same-sex relationships or same-sex couples with a family are destructive of (to) society. I think destructive people are destructive to society; that could be a heterosexual individual or a homosexual individual.

Anatess, I'm super healthy and I credit my eating habits to that, but I'm a runner too. I think people would be surprised how much better they'd feel changing their diet. Glad you got a chuckle out of that David.
-
David, if you're talking to me - nope - don't eat out. I'm also strict vegan so I prepare all my own food. But back to food handling issues, I don't even eat what family makes.

I wonder if by miracle the new Avengers movie will be featured on my flight. I'm guessing no but one can be wishful, yeh. So annoyed I'll be flying the day it is released, ugh!

You know what I was getting at -
Nu uh! Goodness.

I'm a germaphobe so I'm super sceptical about public refreshments and potlucks but it does seem a bit silly to me that a drink or cookie would take away a positive feeling or experience. Of course this is all a matter of opinion, it seems, I don't think there's a wrong or right answer necessarily. I always thought get-togethers post funeral services were a bit odd, in that people sat around and ate - visited - laughed even, right after burying someone in the ground. I dunno, it's a preference thing for sure depending on situation.

I don't follow her but I hope she's able to be at peace. I don't have much interest in the loudest bark (from either side) but I can appreciate someone's genuine conviction of a belief. I'll stick to my guns and you'll stick to yours.

I've actually reread "King Daddy Snarky" several times now and it cracks me up out loud every time.
-
I haven't seen it and not sure that I would just because I'm much more classical when it comes to musicals... I'm pretty sure there's a couple LDS members on here that have seen it and quite enjoyed it, I think I could even name them, but I'll let them come out and share their thoughts if they so choose. On the topic of poking fun. I know quite a few Catholic friends back in the day that didn't appreciate Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg. I didn't find it offensive or meant to be, then again, I'm not Catholic.

Brother Bear. This is an old movie but I'd never seen it. Watched it last night with my husband and daughter and everyone enjoyed it. I don't think the musical numbers were memorable at all but the story was well told and had a wonderful message. The ending gave me a few tears :) Great family movie.

Exodus (something) with Christian Bale Rented on Redbox and enjoyed most of it, unfortunately, I fell asleep before it finished - not because it was boring, I was medicated lol. Hubby quite liked it from start to finish, though. I'll need to watch it again for myself and see how it ends. But the acting was good, to no surprise, and the cinematography was quite lovely, too.

I'd only be interested if ACTUAL cake were inside! ^

Well I guess I didn't grasp what you wanted answered PC. I like how Dravin put it - it's varied. And if someone doesn't want to talk about religion and dismiss it, saying, "I'm not religious," makes great sense.
-
I'll explain my thought process the best I can over a keyboard. I was adopted into and raised LDS. My parents are faithful followers, as are half of the siblings out of ten. I fell away as a young teen and didn't return to the gospel until my mid twenties. For a period, I felt at peace and life was good. It's still good now but I am no longer a member of the Church and at times will say, "I'm not religious." When I use that term, I'm letting the other person know that I subscribe to no faith, though, I am feeling pretty strongly as an atheist. I don't pray, I don't go to church, I don't do any kind of worship to any god. That's basically what I'm getting at when I use that phrase.

So refrigerating it isn't necessary? I guess that makes sense because bread doesn't have to be inside a refrigerator, either, though most people do. The cake will be put together already just for convenience, that said, it may not have a tier. Honestly, I don't have any idea what it's going to look like, I'm just the drive haha.

Hope you find and get the help you need. Good luck!

I'm grateful for a family where my nephew receives unconditional love and does not feel like an outcast. Some of the reactions of this board are truly shocking. I have no problem attending a gay marriage and will absolutely be there if he so chooses to commit his life to another human being. So we don't all agree, that's fine.
