Supernatural is my favorite show on television. Check out this promo video of supernatural i saw on youtube the other day... so good. the promo gives season 5 spoilers so dont watch it if you plan on watching season 5 of supernatural

I am kind of a film connoisseur, and films such as the Exorcism and Rosemary's Baby look so interesting, yet I have yet to watch them becuase I know that we are warned against discussing evil spirits and what not and the last thing that I want is to invite any evil spirits into my life. For you guys that have seen these movies, do you regret seeing them? Or are they simply interesting movies that wont harm the spirit away?

ignore, was response to spam post that was deleted.

Non-members say the same about missionaries.

Go to Church & institute, study the scriptures, and pray, but you will find that you will be being held back spiritually by currently breaking the law of chastity. Please trust me when I say this- Talk to your bishop, stop breaking the law of Chastity, and you will be happier than ever. I was in a relationship for almost 3 years where for about 2 years we were breaking the law of chastity. I thought I was happy at the time. Since repenting and moving on and feeling the fullness of the spirit, I can honestly tell you- I wasted 2 years of my life. I had the same attitude as you- live now, repent later. Although this may seem like a "reasonable" philosophy, it is a slippery slope. You don't want to wake up in 5 years completely inactive because you let your hormones get the best of you. You already said- "I haven't in about 9 months because it just feels hypocritical". This should be a VERY strong sign to you that you should discontinue your sexual practices. You have already been inactive for 9 months because of these sexual practices, don't let the guilt last your lifetime. Talking to a bishop and resolving your sins will help rid you of the guilt and hypocritical feelings you are experiencing. Please understand that I hope that this does not seem too upfront or rude, but I just feel the necessity to stress this issue since it affected me.

I am an avid watcher of south park...i know, im probably going to hell haahah (just kidding). If you watch the episode "All about Mormons" (season 7, episode ep. 12), you will see that although they do poke fun at mormons, they really do not make mormons look too bad. They poke a lot of fun at mormon culture, more so than doctrine (which i think is hilarious). All my friends and I at BYU watched the episode last week and were cracking up...the episode is funnier to mormons than non-mormons because Trey Parker and Matt stone will make jokes at mormon culture that only a mormon would understand. However, I will agree that I am a little nervous, but for the most part I think that they will poke fun in a respectful way, just like they did with the episode. i would recommend you all watch the mormon episode before judging the South Park creators, however I know i would get flamed for saying that.

haha thats hilarious

From what I hear mate is an iffy thing. I believe missionaries are not suppose to drink it, however investigators can become offended if you refuse because they will assume you think they are dirty or something since you share it. I haven't heard the official statement concerning it.

report tot he Argentina MTC on May 5. I gotta a while but im attending school this semester to keep me busy.

Called to serve in the Uruguay Montevideo West Mission... :]

i talked to the bishop this morning and it went really well. He said he's gunna pray and maybe talk to the stake president about "discipline" concerning when I should be able to receive the melchezedick priesthood, but im pretty sure im ok with BYU. Thanks for helping me take that extremely hard step and talking to the bishop. BTW, today is my bday and i guess there is nothing better than feeling no burden on my bday... :]

i just want to let everyone know that after 2 hours of looking at my phone, i texted the bisiop telling him I want to meet him with him as soon as possible (hes a texter). I guess theres no going back, haha. Ill tell you guys how it goes after we meet. thanks

Really great response. My father is deceased, died when I was young, but im going to talk to my sister. I really loved your response, and thank you for it, but its easier saying that BYU and an education isn't as important than actually following through with losing it. I've worked my butt off so hard these past 4 years of high school so that I can attend a 4 year university...i dont want to end up at a community college after all my work...i know its selfish.. Im gunna talk to my bishop, just got his cell phone number... but i ahve one last question.. Would it be harmful in waiting the 2 weeks and talking to my new bishop? tell me straight.

ahh i know i need to do it but im soo scared. My bday is in 2 days as well. That will be a great thing to tell my mom on my bday... "hey mom, thanks for the presents, but btw I've been denied admittance to BYU first semester becuase i lied during my Ecclestiastical Endorsement." Haha, kinda comical when you look at in a sarcastic sense.

Hey guys, I had a girlfriend with whom i participated in the precursors to sex with for over a year... Its been a year now since then, the reason for breaking up was largely for one reason- I was Mormon and wanted to stop these practices, and she wasn't mormon and didnt want to stop. Well, to be honest, I never really felt like i HAD to go to the bishop because I already told myself I would never do this stuff again (I say "HAD", cause now i wish i did)....I felt that there was no reason to talk to him since I myself have already repented on my own, and went through the guilt, and eventually I felt the spirit again. So here's the issue: Yesterday I had my interview with the Bishop and Stake President about receiving the Melchezidek Priesthood. I told them that I wanted to wait because I do not full-heatedly believe the process of eternal progression yet, which is true- I haven't gained a testimony of it of yet. However, I feel there's an underlying reason-My past sexual sins. You see, Now i really want to tell them, but i Know if i do, I Will not be able to attend BYU-Provo, for which im leaving for in 2 weeks...Ill be an incoming Freshmen. I wish so bad that I cleared up these sexual sins earlier when I thought i didnt have to, because now I feel like if I tell the Bishop or Stake President about my sins, I will be revoked from being able to attend BYU (Honor Code/Endorsements from Bishop discuss sexual purity). I dont really know what advice im looking for becuase im in such a huge can of worms, but any is appreciated.... THanks for reading such a long post.
