Yes, I have this strange irrationality when it comes to men who can't manage to keep their pants zipped and are bent on destroying families.

Does this part of the forum include Primary? My husband and I are brand new Sunday School teachers. Kelly

And there was no point to her screaming. He put his thumb over the eye-hole, and she lived pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Nobody would've heard it anyway.

Kind of kills me that I can't recall the name of the additive, but with all of the flying jokes about hemorrhoid cream, fact is that you can only get the right stuff in Canada because they still have the right ingredient... that I can't recall the name of. I'm sure Google can help with this. I'd find it, but I'm on another plane of existence at the moment. Kelly

Well, she's not a JW any longer. And she has two children with another guy I'd like to punch in the mouth. I guess the bottom line is that I can't save the world and I should probably just let this thing go, but I'm in my cosmetology class for 5 hours every night and if I'm not listening to this, I'm listening to another boyfriend crisis. Her history, btw, is not common knowledge. It's just something she told me privately, but her new trials with the guy she's with now is part of the new stuff that comes with every new student. Or old student, or ANY student that happens through. I'm not so sure how much more I can take. BLAH.

I have a friend who was raised as a Jehovah Witness. In her adult life, she was raped. When she went to the elders (or whatever it is they have) they told her it was her own fault. I told her that although Jesus is perfect, men are not. There are plenty of idiotic Mormons that need a personality change, but since then I've tried to research this because I couldn't believe they'd (JW's) be that backward and idiotic. Evidently, they are. I know Mormons are sitting ducks for bad jokes, but this is not a joke and it's not funny. It makes me want to hit the next Jehovah Witness I see . And now I can't even remember the question I wanted to ask. Kelly

In our neighborhood I think every other kid got some remote control thing! Even the girls. This year there was no money for presents. I'm just glad we don't have kids to have that to worry about. It's fun watching the neighborhood go nuts. My patience will wear thin before they all break down though.

I doubt it Gretchen. How many people are actually going to watch that clip and base their opinion of our church off it? I think it was cute. I really need to get my Klingon flag finished now that I have all the materials.

I'm in mourning for the Packers' last game. I'm sure they lost because I wasn't wearing my hat.

Too true!

There's a rumor going around now that he may have been murdered. In truth, I don't even know what an "Imperialist" is.

They'd definitely need to send him somewhere where he wasn't a household name I'd think.

Well I have serious problems with meat-eaters becoming grain-eaters. I know this from a decade at the wildlife center and one couple who decided since they were vegetarian, the great horned owl baby they found was to be vegetarian as well. By the time we got it, its bones would easily bend. We had to put it down because there was no way of fixing the damage. The whole thought makes my blood run cold. Not exactly paradise.

I'm disturbed and I haven't even opened the article! I trust you guys.

The 144K are already chosen from what I understand. No JW today is trying to be in that mix. They think the Earth itself is going to be paradise. No heaven needed.

Not one month ago Michio Kaku said that they both came at the same time. I tend to trust the dude.

Well, I think even in Pyongyang, they go without electricity on a regular basis, and when the government dole doesn't come through --self reliance is a way of life. I'd hate to be fighting these people --they've nothing to lose. Plus, us US Imperialists are the cause of ALL of their problems. I'd probably die of an aneurysm having to listen to their air raid sirens all the time.

They seem really desperate for more missionaries at the moment. Raising the bar would take a lot of young men out of the running.

Congratulations!

And they put none of this on their Facebook page when I've been a fan of theirs for months? Sheesh. (Or I'd better check my facebook.)

Shelly, I never have had an enormous revelation that the BoM is true. It often bothers me that I don't have the testimony that everyone else does (I think that part of my brain might be missing.) But I believe wholeheartedly in the church. I watch the conferences over and over, I read the Ensign until it's tattered, I participate wherever I'm needed or wanted, and I don't bother with trying to figure out why the church may NOT be true. As far as I'm concerned, the Mormons I know and the work done by the church speaks for itself. I haven't even made it through the D&C yet, but a day does not go by when I don't pray (especially for a revelation), and reading the scriptures.

This was one of my favorite quotes from this last conference. It was Tad Callister. You get so many Christians that can't agree on the gospel that they come up with "Non-Denominational" which doesn't mean a whole lot.

I also love the Pyramid Collection. I've got a nose stud though, so I think people keep expecting me to get a big tattoo.

We live near an area where the local indians went to get their salt. There are really interesting markings on the ground where arrowheads and knives and the like were sharpened. I think if I were to have to do something that boring for hours on end, I'd be tempted to make designs in the ground since I was sitting there anyway.

If it were geese, all the Vs would be facing in the same direction.
