  1. You oughtta watch the original tron.. hehe same thing with the actors there, but less to use.
  2. I also enjoyed this movie.. but keep in mind the last half of it is violent... while blood and guts are not fly ing everywhere (in fact you hardly see any blood in the whole movie), people are being shot up and munched or being stepped on.One of my fave artists helped with the creature concepts (Barlowe). Id love to see this film in one of the spherical Imax theaters.
  3. Do what is right, and let the consequence, whatever it be follow. I'm very srry to hear that. In regards to your wife, just tell her the whole thing. I also suggest letting someone higher up in the management know about what your boss is doing.... If you want to stay where you worked then definitely do so, you may have to prepare for some legalwork, because something like this usually ends up in court. You may have to go to the law on this (don't know tho), if you want to keep your job... but definitley let upper management know about this incident- and if you are willing to go to the law about this, also let the upper management know that as well. If you have any records of any transactions that cover or are related to this event, get copies of them. Edit: nevermind on the last half. As with wingnut I'd definitely notify someone above your boss about his activities, possibly even the police- more out of regards for the boss's wife than anything else. Stalker behaviour always raises red flags for me.
  4. Napoleon Dynamite?
  5. WE never lose our freedom to make a choice, however we will have lots of time to perfect ourselves before entering the kingdom of heaven... and also we won't have the devil striving against us continually.
  6. hmm in all likelyhood this valley you are walking through at this time is not going to be overcome anytime soon. Addictions do kill the spirit.. i find that when that happens my life is fairly similar to what you describe here. Does that mean all hope is lost? no! I find that in these situations that its hard to keep the spirit because we bring the sin that stems from the addiction over and over again... Sometimes you have to look, fight and focus minute by minute. For me confession to the bishop, and to those who care) is the hardest hurdle to pass, and has been what has held me back many times. Just I'd advise three things to remember: if we are trying, and keep trying, to get back to how the lord would want us then it doesn't matter how many times we fall. Two accept that your going to make mistakes, and flub it up - the devil wants us to think a couple things - that once we do something wrong we might as well do more wrong, and that once we have done wrong we are lost. 3 pray hard, and go out and help someone.
  7. it would depend.Either could be worse depending on the individual.. or perhaps a person has a problem with both.
  8. were they born?Yes. Were they born in a manner that we know of? No clue. Does it really matter? No.
  9. I wonder sometimes at how many prophecies are going to come about, because people knew about them?
  10. Last I heard (can't confirm it tho) that it was more up to you as now that ratings aren't a great indicator anymore.My two cents would be to avoid them.
  11. I liked Skyview Highschool wh ile I attended it (in cache valley)... Had the best art teacher ever, but I think she's retiring.
  12. Sad? yesIrony Meter? High Creepy? maybe in the sense that seeing book of mormon scripture almost being literally fulfilled right in front of you.... Guess time will tell. However I wouldn't worry too much about it.
  13. one of the easiest recipes ever i've been told of is this Corn + Flour you mash in the corn in with the flour, you want enough corn for the flour to make it pretty sticky. All you need to do is really work the corn into the flour (good hand exercise) you can add flour if you think theres too much corn or more corn if theres not enough flour (the dough will be slightly yellow colored). then grab some and and flatten it onto a cooking pan or skillet and cook them until light-medium brown. eat plain, or have with syrup or about anything else really. The person who told me this called them navajo corn bread. I use about a handful of corn (maybe a little more) with around a cup of flour.
  14. the first couple of sins on my list are Blaspheming the holy Ghost and Forsaking God... which which generallly places murder and LoC sins in the 3-5ish spotsand thanks for the reference :)
  15. I don't think theres any scriptures that exxplicitly statee this, however I think it comes from the opinions of a couple prophets...I do believe that its pretty close to murder because its involved/related with in act that tends to have irrepairable consequences... It's also a path that has very great potential to ruin an individuals views and virtues towards others, both in intimate relationships, and other relationships - the memories of which will remain with you for all time. And as LDS believe that families are what matter the most, the powers that create and bind such require the greatest responsibilities, and have worse consequences when broken.
  16. for a nontemple one? there really aren't any guidelines.. the nontemple one my cousin had was held outdoors at a place that was made mainly for weddings... about the only fancy parts were how people were dressed and the food that was provided afterwards.They had the local bishop perform the ceremony.
  17. lololololtrying to keep up on my seefood diet plan.
  18. hehehehe maybe so Yet were stsill willing to go thru with it even after seeing someone else screaming bloody murder when they get poked.
  19. Closest i've been is the east border of michigan.
  20. As we have the veil we don't know, however we did know enough that we shouted/sang for joy, and two that after seeing how everything is so dismal here (incomparison to being in God's presence) that we were still willing to risk eternal seperation from God.

    question

    not quite yet... Do what you can in your power to not get those books. They shouldn't be able to sue you. Also you'll need ot check with the local school education laws and requirements, but i'll wager if you are starting your own private school you can put a clause in the contract, both for when you found the school, and in what parents have to sign for their kids to be in it, that you will not teach or have material that references or promotes homosexual unions. (sorry I don't call them marriages).I think that right there would help prevent a lot of grief. Again if you have the information available to the parents in what they have to sign to enroll their kids an dmake them aware of it before they sign their kids up, those who want their kids to not be exposed to pro-homosexual union material will more likely sign up, whereas those parents who differ can sign their kids up at a different school.Now if you want government financial assistance, that is where it's going to get tricky. I'd suggest finding out what laws are in place in regards what the Gov is able to provide funding for, and give them a real careful read.
  22. There is not information in scriptures on that. If he did know about it, then whatever he rebelled over seemed to be for him worth rebelling for. However his actions in the Garden of eden would seem to indicate that he was not aware of all the details.
  23. I don't think anyone is every truly prepared for Mother or Father-hood.
  24. this is my two cents of total uninformed opinion... (you've been warned)In short- not worth fighting over, once you've let her know what you believe should be done, you've done your part... maybe try coming to a compromise - like finding a place that isn't as prominent, but not hidden (altho I'd say bite the bullet and go along with her), maybe make alternative suggestions that she would be more willing to agree to (like how about your bedroom or kitchen?)... But if she is adamant about not having it up at all then don't push it beyond that you think it would be a really good idea and would like to have it somewhere visible. Then, 1 love her (i'd also say to apologise for arguing), and 2 do your bests to be a good example, and 3 support her and help her gain trust and confidence in herself, and 4 pray for her often, fervently, and privately. Be aware even the best spiritual person has weaknesses. In my experience trying to fix other people's faults is the very hard way of doing things. Also to add, the best changer of hearts I know of, is the Spirit, not people- so do the things that would bring the Spirit into the home.- some things to try: increase your scripture reading (amaybe invite your wife to join in) pray more often, both yourself, and as a couple, and with any children you have. pay tithing. Have you tried fasting? Do you have any books or movies that have material that would be objectionable to the Holy spirit? Try getting rid of them. Increse your effort to going to all your church meetings, and to be on time. Be diligent in having family home evening (good opportunity to studay and share what prophets teach, both modern and ancient)
  25. most of us aren't children anymore, and have the capacity to be cognitive of morals and responsibilities....
