What kind of sicko would put a bear cub in a cage fight with a full-grown lion or tiger? Sorry, I assume that when we talk about such things that all participants are fully-developed adults in their prime, and no performance-enhancing or -diminishing drugs would be used to 'even the playing field'.

Well, for one thing, we keep getting told that it's evil to spank children nowadays.

We are not qualified to give you a definitive answer for what to do in your individual situation. Polls will be useless in this case. You need to take these concerns to your local bishop and stake president and counsel with them. They are ordained with they keys to receive revelation that will pertain to you as you are under their jurisdiction as priesthood leaders. We can only give general advice here, which is that the church says that every young man should prepare himself to serve an honorable full-time mission. If health or other issues come into play, then that situation must be taken on a case-by-case situation, seeking the guidance of your church leaders. Don't take the Lord, and his servants, out of the equation. Also, you will not receive a mission call without first submitting the proper papers to Church HQ. You can address all of your issues with your bishop and stake president, who would be assisting you in submitting your paperwork. They are best suited to helping you with these things.

Well, I found some nice Aviators here: RS67027 Rose Lens Sunglasses, Classic Aviator Style Metal Frame, Spring Temple - Rose Lens Sunglasses - Polarized4U Sunglasses At only $22.95, the price isn't too bad either.

Well, we show more leg in public. That's all the proof anyone needs, isn't it?

I just watched a rerun of Mythbusters. I really don't care if you see it or not.

Hmmmm, I installed a few counters as a young man working for a cabinetmaker, I didn't see anything going on that would attract the attention of the Secret Service. Unless you're talking about the wild things going on at the occasional Carpenter's Ball. I heard a guy swear at one of those once, and a few of the women were dressed less than, ahem, modestly.

Generally, it's accepted to fast for 24 hours. Many people will eat a meal, then skip the next two, and eat again 24 hours from the beginning of the fast. But there are no hard and fast (no pun intended) rules. Some people simply cannot go that long without food for health or other reasons, and their fasts are still acceptable to the Lord.

Hmmmm, I wasn't aware of that. I guess they're making special weeks for everything these days.

How dare you restrain your child? Don't you realize that holding them stifles their creativity? It appears you have conditioned your child to be comfortably restrained, and will make her turn to crime just to feel the joy of being handcuffed. How cruel of a person are you? What kind of parent would act this way? In case you folks can't tell, that was a joke. People who claim that a mild swat on the butt that does little more than startle a child to get their attention is akin to beating them with a lead pipe are completely off their rocker.

Yes. I suggest you move to China, where opportunity abounds!!!

Welcome

I use a small guillotine, just stick the end of a finger in there, and shave the end off. by the time they are 12 they either learn to obey, or they go through life being called Stumpy by their friends.

Since this has obviously gone to your family, where it should be, then there is no sense in this remaining open. Thread closed.

Huh? Please explain, and try to use small words.........

Thanks for the chuckle, I needed that.

I bless animals all the time. Usually it is in the context of receiving nourishment and strength from them.

I would say NOT the lion, the tiger would have a shot if he could stalk and catch the Kodiak by surprise. But either cat would be toast if the Kodiak laid a paw on them and then got his jaws around any part of them. The problem is the thickness of the Kodiak's fur and skin, it would be difficult to pierce the bear's hide and make a damaging bite, unless it was to the head or throat.

How big is the cage?

If she's not the one, then she's not the one. Keep looking.

Since this horse is now officially beaten to death, this is closed. Lost, if you want to resign, you now know what to do.

No, just inactive. Just continue to go to meetings and everything will work out.

The problem with that is that some people will put LDS as their religion because they think it will give their attacks or complaints about the church more weight. As if being a member makes their complaints more viable. You can usually tell if someone is a member and how well they believe and understand the doctrine within 10 posts.

False doctrine for LDS. You put this in the general discussion section on an LDS site. Do you want it moved to the Christian Beliefs Board?

The problem I see is that many people lower their standards to get what they think they want, and not what they need.
