  1. I have herd people claim to feel the spirit in places other than the LDS church/temple and wonder if that means the Church isn't true. Just because other things brought on the Spirit.

    We have a Church. We believe it contains the fullness of the gospel. I don't believe for a minute that means we are somehow a better, more worthy people than anyone else.

  2. My first response is to get the strong stuff right off. Then again that does mean a lot of side effects which not everyone wants. Was he a podiatrist? If so I would take his word. I have seen a friend's case that's similar where the body started healing itself, the section of toenails were alread dead, so off they went.

  3. Browsing through the forum and saw this discussion. I saw these books around and checked Amazon and saw a lot of reviews saying they weren't child appropriate and pretty filthy.

    How bad would you say they are? The orgasmic staff does concern me for reading stuff for my son.

  4. Should garments be put back on immediately after sporting events? The reason I ask this is because my mother ran into our Stake Presidents wife in the grocery store right after she finished playing tennis (she belongs to a tennis club) and she was still in her tennis shorts (which don't cover garments!). Is this acceptable? Just wondering.

    This sounds gossip on the part of your mother, no offense. Perhaps this woman attends her sporting events in the same uniform and had to hit the store on the way back. I also feel panicking over how long till the garment is put back on is ridiculous.

  5. As for whether or not it's fair to leave because of a problem... that's a tricky question. I personally believe in committment. If you're committed to a person, you stick by him through thick and thin with very few exceptions. However, in your case you are still boyfriend/girlfriend. Yes, I get that can be a big deal, but it sounds as if you're making temple marriage your definition of commitment (good job). You are not temple-married to this man. You're not even any married to him. The commitment definition is different. You're still in the phase of analyzing a potential marriage partner. Unless you're positive this is the one you want, the "fair" in ending or remaining in the relationships is still in your hands.

    Bingo.

    While you two are still in the dating phase (not married, not even engaged) the devoted commitment of a marriage does not apply, at least not as concretely. Now if you were his wife and he had this problem and was willing to work at it, yes, by all means, stay married to him and give him all the love and support he needs and then some. Right now that's also a fine thing to give him... but only if you're sure about marrying him. It's no good to stay in a miserable dating relationship just because you don't think it would be fair to leave him. It's not fair to you to stay in a miserable relationship.

  6. Simply go for moderation. There's a lot you can get by with in small amounts, though in my experience I seemed to have better luck conceiving with no caffeine consumption verses moderate caffeine consumption. Also, try to get some full-fat dairy in.

  7. That's how I feel. I don't want to waste any more time or energy on our marriage. I have hurt too long and have been damaged so much that I just don't have it in me to try any more. I have turned my energies to becoming self-sufficient and getting to the point where I can financially, emotionally, and spiritually support my kids because I know he will never step up...after 14 years...still waiting

    This is exactly what you should be doing!

  8. I guess Im one of the few that don't consider this a big deal and if your sister is a ditz like you say, I can see the humor in it. If she slowed down in order to see, that's smart though she should have pulled over or stayed at the friend's. But slowing down isn't necessarily dangerous. If I saw someone going really slow, yeah, I'd probably call the cops, but not out of fear of my life. From what the OP said it sounds like this girl gets it. If we spent all our time worrying about what could have happened we would be wasting a lot of time.

    I'm curious to know if the accusations continued after she passed all the tests. I see how that could be justified to get someone you really do suspect of high/drunk driving to confess, but after awhile you should probably look at other factors.
