Breaking

Ya. My bishop suggested finding out the information if I can, but not necessarily suggested talking to the school directly as it is with the person to be honest and not the school. Sadly, I knew the person, but only the first name. I'm going to call and ask tomorrow how long they keep record of things like this. I did have my mp3 player stolen a while back at school so asking if they still had any record of that would be of help to see how long they hold it for (the info).

I've returned from serving for a brief period of time while being in Mexico for my mission from being sick (Lack of hydration, keeping food down, etc) So I thought I should do some attempts if not complete corrections on some things I had done in my eariler years. I had talked with my bishop about it, and he said to make the attempt (an honest one) and try to make things right. I had stolen some things while I was 16 (an ipod) Needless to say, I was pretty stupid. The thing that happend was I stole the ipod at school. I was talked to by an officer who was investigating the situation. I'm trying to see if there would be some information from them still in the system (how long they keep record of those incidents) and such. I plan on making full recompensation of the cost of the ipod. My question is, would the information be considered 'Public Knowledge'? or would I have to tell him what had happend first to be able to obtain information to make ends meet with the person? I'd prefer to talk to the person first and then, if preferred, have autorities take over if it is that heavy of a crime. Thanks.

I thought I would share these videos. They are truly amazing to watch. I know everytime I watch these, they give me more of a sense of hope. Hopefully you'll find something in these videos. The Butterfly Circus: Nick Vujicic Testimony: Testimony Nick Vujicic Extraordinary - YouTube

Well, i'm about to be set apart as a missionary tomorrow evening. I'm also planning on driving up to the MTC after the next morning. I do have 1 question, which may be dumb, but...: I'm wanting to contact family members during the time after that I've been set apart. Am i still able to call and text message during the few days I have before entering the MTC?

I really hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the idea for the prayer roll.

I suggested it as she still hasn't gotten over the embarrasment part. She has yet to tell her parents, bishop, or any priesthood with authority in the ward, stake, etc,. I am aware.... Is there something more that i could suggest...?

I'm about to serve a mission. Been excited to get clean and give the tithe of my life to the Lord. There has been an issue I'd like to ask about though: The Issue: I have a female friend that I truly care the world about. Both me and her have dated to a degree, BUT she has a sex addiction. I only want the best for her... and I've overcome an addiction as well to serve. I want to help her the best I can, but I'll be gone in less than a week. I suggested talking with the bishop, but the bishop has had his fair-share of flaws that doesn't help the cause. He has on many accounts leaked personal information to people that have no business on knowing the info. What can I do? Who can she go to? I understand that: -Me being a male doesn't help -She has to want to change on her own (Yes, I understand this) -Being near her sometimes she tempts (I keep my distance) As well understand that: -Her parents are VERY critical Advice?

Its 'less than lovely'. Also, my insurance is supplying me a lawyer (just_a_guy's comment). I'm just wondering how likely it is since I COMPLETELY talked crap about the guy after, and had a HUGE fight with a friend the day before (not as much on the day before). Would the content be shown or only the actual times of texts being sent and received? Also, does calling for times of sent and received text messages require a subpoena? I know that for content it does, but does times matter? ^^ This is what I'm really curious about.

@ Blocky: The issue is that he's sueing me. You being rear ended by someone else seems like it might be a little different(?) @Just_A_Guy: Thanks for the heads up. I honestly don't know if I have a lawyer that is specificly for me or just the insurance. They have asked to get my testimony recorded since I'm going to be on my mission during that time. Also, reason I ask this is because some of the words from the text messages from the day before/after might put me in a bad light. Wouldn't you think that within 30 minutes of the time period of the accident would be sufficient?

I'm curious on how this would all go down: If they did get a subpoena, would it only be for the short time frame that the accident occured? The other party is claiming I did; though he is claiming that the pictures that were taken were right after the accident are NOT pictures of my car and that I drove a completely different vehicle at the time so... I don't know how creditable he is. I'm hoping my insurance got his side of the story on tape after what had happened before he changed his story in the last few months.

I don't know if its illegal; that's why I posted on here. And the reason why I post this is because I don't 100% know if it was on the phone or not. My driving habits have changed ALOT since the accident occured. It'll almost be a year and a half ago.

A while back, I had been driving to school and had made a left turn to try to get onto the street the school was located on. Anyhow, it ended with a considerably minor accident, but the other party is sueing my insurance and such. At this point, my insurance law office is wondering if I had texted or was on the phone at the time. I'm pretty sure I wasn't on the phone, but what legal procedings could occur if it was the case? Also, how likely is it that they will give a court order to see text messages sent and received? This is for the state of Texas.

I went through the addiction of pornography for 5 years of my life; very hard times for sure. Though I was never wedded during the time, I can only imagine the hard time you're having trying to support your husband to overcome his addiction. For a period of time, I went without any technology that had access to the internet that wasn't filtered. I had an Ipod Touch that had apps and it was a problem until i got rid of it/sold it as filtering the apps as you said are extremely hard to do. The things that truly helped me overcome my addiction was: -Daily scripture study -Morning and Evening Prayer (as well as family prayer during the day also) -EXTRA praying (ALOT with a heartfelt desire to change) To this day, I STILL have temptation from women at work wearing revealing shirts, short skirts, and such, and it may be hard to implement at first, but someting as simple as singing my favorite church hymn has gotten my mind off of it until the next time. It will mostlikely ALWAYS be a temptation, but its only as big of a temptation as he lets it be.

Through alot of hard times with pornography and most of what accompanies it as well as a bad relationship, after seeing a counselor, working it through with my bishop, I have come to realize that I will always need to keep myself in check with my thoughts as well as actions. I've come clean as well as put my focus on something thats bigger than me. I had my mission papers submitted almost 3 weeks ago and am now waiting to hear back. The way other mission calls have been coming back in the area I reside in, I should know this weekend. My issue at the moment is I just don't know what to expect. Until talking with my family, I didn't even realize until talking about it that I was showing little focus at work as well as sleeping excessively. I've come to the conclusion that I'm stressed about it. Any suggestions? Also, thanks for all that have commented in the past. Being able to post problems anonymously has helped alot.

With all due respect, it has nothing to do with 'honesty'. Who am I lying to? And WHY do you care so much about such a small detail?
