Eh, I think that trying to reserve it only for the most special occasions is even worse than overuse. It brings to mind an episode of "The King of Queens" in which the couple were chatting on the phone. The phone call ended with half-hearted "love ya". Immediately, the husband called back and gave his wife the idea of cutting back on "I love yous" with the idea that it might make it more meaningful. They agreed on this and then gave each other heartfelt "I love yous"... and then once again ended the phone conversation with rote "love ya".

Okay, I'm lost. What exactly are these folks protesting against?

May I jump in and say as my so far sole contribution that this is a fascinating thread?

All right, I'm a little cooler. I am going to be fair. LDSChristian has said and done some very nice things on this forum. He participates, he encourages and thanks others. He just seems to have problems when statements are said that he doesn't like.

Wonderful article!

LDSChristian, do you ever think about how the rest of us feel when you throw your tantrums or call us names?

You used that post to not only thank someone, but to be cruel to others. You used that post SPECIFICALLY to badmouth others. You snatched this opportunity to talk about how you felt about others' posts, not to thank the individual.

So... your teacher is saying there are a whole bunch of gods involved with this world and we all worship different ones?

What do you define as a bad attitude? You seem to think that anyone who doesn't agree with you has a bad attitude. Again, if we don't see your reasons as good ones, we aren't going to pretend to. You're 19. A lot of us here are college graduates. That may not make us super-smart, but it often does mean we know a lot more about research and presenting facts. Maybe you do have the knowledge, but your writing skills in presenting them leave a lot to be desired. Your attitude on this board shows that you think you are above us all. You give off the impression that you are better than us because you've made different choices.

Here is why you are immature: You never, ever, ever consider listening anything to the contrary. It's a sign of maturity to at least consider opposing viewpoints. You never, ever, ever state your reasons for anything. You have been downright mean to every person in this forum. If this is any example of how you think of and treat people you are not mature. You are prideful. You seem to think you have reached the peak of your maturity.

I'm asking this from a purely BSA position. The ward I grew up in was pretty steady in its leaders for Scouting. However, now that I'm working for the BSA, I'm noticing that a lot of wards seem to change their leaders every couple of months. We're trying to post charters, but half the wards have already completely changed everything they have submitted. Part of me says "oh, well", but the other part of me is concerned about the price and the effect on the boys.

Maybe I don't know enough about your life and how you were treated and raised, but you seem to have a rather skewed version of maturity.

Thanks, all! It will be the Ogden temple. Endowment there tonight, marriage there Saturday. I have a weird preoccupation with the Ogden Temple.

He's very spiritually attune.

So I will be receiving my endowment tonight after work. I'm very excited and I do feel spiritually ready. However... any last-minute things I should know?

So what is your policy for disagreeing with you? What if we don't feel you gave good answers?

However, you have already made it clear you disagree with For the Strength of Youth which is endorsed by prophets.

Okay, dating advice: This really depends on your personality and interests. What do you like to do? No point on taking a girl on a date you don't even like. I think all six points are valid desires just as long as you don't judge those who match your "don't" or those who don't have a problem with any of those "don'ts". Do you believe in forgiving others? Because I believe that whole "laughing at cheating" incident was cleared up as a misunderstanding.

Eh, I think both approaches are valid, at least from my knowledge of learning styles. I would prefer a combination: give them guidelines up front, then instruct and correct them as necessary. Either way, the approach to learning is neither here nor there. I wouldn't debate this when you're both feeling angry with each other, though it would be a fine thing to discuss at a more friendly time. When you're presenting and it's your turn and he says something, give a quick and short reply that you will discuss it later in private.

This is so wonderful! Congratulations!

Take the sealing cancellation to the temple on the day of the sealing to you, when that happens. It will be REQUIRED.

I think I have had fights with my fiance, but he doesn't think so and is still waiting for our first fight. To me, debates and disagreements are "fights" but I hate that term because it sounds so ugly. You can't agree on everything, and on some things you'll just have to roll your eyes and silently think "what an idiot".

Indeed, it's made up of individual counselors with their own ideas that might work for some but not all individuals.

Apparently! I've heard that many do not like to feel that they have to pick between their religion and their race. Anyone there open for direct quesitioning?
