I use to smoke as well, from i was 12-13 to around 18-19. I so do agree with you! I enjoyed smoking, but even then it doesn't pay off. So how did you quit? Cold turkey? Yeah, danes shop alot in Germany too. Because its cheaper. I've noticed one of your stores have come to Denmark and has become very popular here. LIDL? Also Aldi. But in the LIDL they have the best banana sorbet ever ...!!! <3 Hehe, but you probably know those stores. The only time i were in Germany was for a brief shoppingtrip. So i havn't seen as much of Germany as i would have liked to. But hey, its not faar. So that wouldn't be difficult What did you do in Denmark?

I've never been to a YSA ward, but i heard of it. Where i live we arn't that many young adults in the church so thats probably why. But i would feel really akward if i had to attend in a singles wards only. In my opinion it sounds like putting alot of pressure on young adults to get married. Why not just trust the Lord in how he works, and that we will meet our soulmate one day? Although i don't think its bad getting together sometimes. But i have a feeling that being surrounded by humans in every age groups is very important for our spiritual growth. Many people in the church, older as well as younger, are remarkable examples from sunday to sunday. And being around to see their examples teaches me so many things that i would not like to be without. We need friends as well as a soulmate, and we are all just spirits in a temporary state. The numbers we give ourself as an age here, probably won't mean much in the eternal light of things. Just because im a young adult, doesn't mean that i should only mix and mingle between other young adults. I don't know what package my eternal friends will be in. Nor do i know that with my soulmate. It has to come naturally in my book. But i guess we are all different human beings. (Mix ang mingle, i think thats the right term?)

Hello Orrinian and welcome :) I am from Denmark, so we are neighbours! Hehe..

You can always learn more. Even from a simple doctrine.

Taking over a lesson is not my point at all :) more like asking questions, looking like your interested, sharing your thoughts and stuff. ^^

I think it can be like that in any meeting, depending on how much the different people put in it. If everybody seems kinda "bla", then why not stand out and take an intrest to kind of show that you are here to get something out of it and that you're also interested in what there is being said. Maybe it will develope from that. Also, even when someone isn't giving a great lesson. Trying to see the positive in it or making some sense out of it, it could be a lesson itself. The best lessons taught is the ones inside of your own heart. And the only one that are in control of that is yourself. If that makes sense...

Depends on how you confront them. If theese boys actually are becoming inactive and distancing them further to the church, coming to them with a pointing finger about what is or isn't the right thing to do, would only make them distance further. Not that you need to pack it all up in pretty little box, but i would really consider what you are thinking about telling them are going to benefit either them or you. If it is them not being active and serious about it that troubles it, then being a good example and a great friend will do wonders in the longer run.

Welcome!

I like the example of "what you would say in front of a person". Its also thoose moments i've wonderes most about. Because you are talking behind someones back somehow, but does the good intention make it alright?

No, i never tried that game. But i get your point. So talking about other people when it is irrelevant to both parts that would classify it as gossip in that case?

Where is the limit to where a conversation becomes gossip? I have a good friend that has made me wonder about this. We both have good intentions, but when we talk we can get really sucked into a conversation. We try to keep gossip out of our conversations though. So i've come to think, how can i be sure i am keeping a good balance in it, when im not really sure where the limit goes? Because surely you can talk about how a friend has been doing, or about an event or things that happen around us without it being evil, more like in a friendly matter? Im not sure. What is your opinion?

The only thing i could find was this: Has any General Authority of the Mormon Church ever said that members of the church should not watch R rated movies? | Ask Gramps When i were unactive in the church, horrors were basically all i really felt like watching. Returning to the church, i felt like every time i turned on a horror i put up a wall. The spirit left even as i thought of it. Now, i don't think all horrors are bad, i couldn't say that since i havn't seen all the movies made. (Although i've seen a whole lot ) But i do think that horrors in many cases arn't a tastefull way of delivering a message. I don't think that you will get blind of the negative things in life, if you don't let them in your life. The majority would probably still know that its out there. I can watch a horror or something like it, but i do screen it carefully now. It's also made me more open in my heart when i watch movies. Before nothing really had an impact on me unless it was extreme. I still don't scare that easily, but im sure that movies make more of an impact on all of us than we know of. Maybe it's just about finding a balance in it. Working together with the spirit.

I get your point, and i agree with the part of that there is nothing wrong with making yourself feel pretty. But i think there is a difference between having braces, doing makeup and new hairstyles and then getting your body reshaped, because obviously that is cutting yourself open. We are told to appreciate our bodies, as they are a gift from God. Thats why we've been told that you can't have piercing and tattoo's all sorts of places. That is why i think you should be very alert about your personal reasons for doing it. For example, i don't think it is wrong for someone that can't grow her/his eyebrows out to get some permenantly tattooed on, if they wanted too. Also to make changes through surgery would be fine if you were sure that it was damaging you and somehow irriversible. Both physically and mentally. But thats just my point of view on it. Hope it made sense.

Thanks! I get it know. I thought it was a weird word and question.. hehe

I don't assume anything. They might have a good reason, how would i know. But if i had to choose for myself i don't think i would change anything about me unless it was making an actual damage on me and was impossible for me to work with. Both fysically or mentally. Even if i weren't happy with myself. There might be a lesson in it for me to learn.

1. Jello--side dish or dessert? Depends on the dish, both! 2. Soda, pop, or coke? I don't know what that pop thing is. But, soda! 3. Mac and cheese--side dish or main dish? Side dish 4. Biscuits and gravy--tear up the biscuit and eat with spoon or split biscuit and eat with knife/fork? I've never tasted that, but guessing - maybe splitting it up and eating with a fork 5. Grits--sweet or savory? What is grits? 6. Bathroom tissue--over or under? Over 7. Green onions or scallions? Green onions 8. Pecan: pecahn or peecan? Isn't it just pecan? Or.. i don't know. I dont even know what a pecan is Man, all this american food.

No problem :)

This is just a suggestion. Peter J. D´Adamo wrote a book about eating after your bloodtype. I started reading it and from first page i've been crazy about that book! It has opened my eyes to alot of things about how different our bodies really are. Im not even through with reading it, and i think its probably one of my favorites now, hehe. Thought it would interest some of you. :) Here is a link for his site Eat Right For Your Type :: The Official Blood Type Diet Site

Thanks :)

Hey, i like this music! Where do you buy a CD?

As people are writing, there are alot of members that drink it in the church too. Personally, i've always instantly though of "going the extra mile", and to me that is to just stay away from those grey areas. Not that i mind other people doing it, it is ofcourse an individual choice to make.

Thanks Pam

Thanks alot :)

I have felt the same as your wife. It was one of the big reasons why i went inactive for a long time. Because in sted of trying to understand it, i let myself just be angry with it because i focused to much on my stubborn opinion. Luckily that has changed. My oppenion is that being equalt doesn't mean doing the same amount of dishes and having the same chores. Being equals as different individuals, makes different solutions for each person. When you work the best together as man and woman, you each do what you can. Not that you couldn't be able to handle each others chores, but the lord much have given us the assignments that we have for a reason. Maybe because we are ready for that assignment, or because we need to learn something from it, or because it lies more in our nature. Theese are just my thoughts about it, i will know the true answer one day. What is important is to have faith in the Lord and what trials and quests he gives us while we are here. I hope it helped somehow.. :)
