Which I get, but it's hard when kids don't get a chance to learn how to do the job. If a parent could give advice, what's the harm in that?

Do you at all feel you've been "superior" in any way since you became more active? Not meanign to point fingers, but even a little thing might make him feel bad about this. Sit down, affirm to him your love for him, and maybe even be willing to compromise on a few faith issues. My sister-in-law is married to my a Methodist man--she goes to his church half the Sundays in the month. He doesn't attend hers, but isn't super-active in his church but appreciates that church time together. They've been able to work everything out. I don't mean sell out on your testimony. Keep up your LDS faith, I just used that as an example. I agree that he definitly isn't used to his "new wife" and will probably need a lot of extra love and assurance.

We did something last night. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I feel jubilant about it. We kicked one daughter's boyfriend out last night. He broke our rules for drugs plus hit one of the other kids (not his). My husband ordered him out of the house, threw all of his clothes in a bag, and threw it out on the lawn. Our daughter's boyfriend isn't ordinarly violent (the hitting has never happened before) and was even apologetic about it, so we're not worried that way (though locks were changed today and we're looking into laws.) My daughter said he's bunking with a friend and says she understands, but she's in tears over it. I feel quite empowered, but I hope I didn't break up a family.

I say bring up the topic. You don't have to spill everything, but bring it up casually ask her thoughts on "knowing everything" about another person. I can see both sides to this, and I say it's up to you and her.

I've been using the plain cotton due to allergies... I guess I'm so used to it. Never thought about the heat.

I guess I agree with dash a little bit on this. Just because the kid is legally adult does not mean he acts or thinks like an adult. Is it fair someone loses out in the workforce because he was expected to be more than he could do? I agree someone should not attempt to do a job they can't do, but if a parent could give a little boost... I guess I'm not sure where the line would be drawn. With my adult kids, I kind of wish I could attend them on a job interview in order to help them to know to say (assuming I trusted they could do the job), though I do see the point of view of employers.

What do you think of this article? I have to admit, part of me really wants to help my children get jobs.

My suggestion to your co-worker and the groom, at this point, is to secretly tell their people to come significantly early and get a seat. The temple patrons really will only let so many people in.

Hah. I believe it. Little kids get confused. And that certainly explains the result of three chicken nuggets.

I'm going through another rough spot with this. One of my daughters has been in tears for a few days now becaus she can't find work. She has told me she feels unloved and unsupported. My husband told her she's love, just not supported as much anymore. He also told her she is being far too picky about jobs. I'm feeling stuck in the middle of it.

So are atheists opposed to the idea of free will, or the idea that a deity and free will might be combined?

It is a curious notion to me. Where does atheist assumptions about the nature of God come from?

I know people that when times got hard, did apply for food stamps first (they were also a younger couple who still did not have the best food storage). Their bishop supported it.

What a pretty little thing!!!

Some people say the pill hormones will stay in your body for a few months but that's not always the case. So just eat healthy, exercise, and take care of yourself! That way, you'll be prepared for a baby. If no baby comes quite yet, hey, you're healthy anyway!

Yes! you are right! I am going to scurry off and make a tiny edit...

I think you're right on that, chaplain. Thanks.

I might be the minority here, but I'm kind of glad about it.

Jayanna, I appreciate your post, but Mormons are not the only religion that have committed massacres on that scale. The point made still remains. While I do feel we should admit what people did, how do we? Are we supposed to beat ourselves up about it? Vort is right: we didn't do it. Where's the happy medium?

As someone who did this some decades ago, I advise you to seek help, both spiritually and with a qualified doctor. It's not good and any feel-good benefits you might get are merely temporal. No, it's not your fault for mental health issues (woefully misunderstood among culture) but there's still no excuse not to seek help. This is covered by the Atonement!

Unless you guys are throwing rotten fruit at General Authorities over homosexual rights that probably isn't an issue. I support gay rights to a certain extent and at my last temple interview it wasn't a problem. The big question here is if you and her are legitimately interested in the temple for the temple's sake.

The final one is the best!

I'm the brunette on the far right...

The article seemed to rage at Mormon culture rather than doctrines. There is this misguided idea that everything your average Mormon believes is doctrine. No prophet or scripture ever warned us not to research to my knowledge. In that regard I can sympathize with her. It could be great if Mormon culture were more open to different ideas and those questioning their faith. But for all the Mormons who were nasty to this woman, I bet you there is AT LEAST one Mormon who would have handled it different. We'r all just people.

I'm simply going with the ideas of what would happen if we were to completely get rid of education.
