Faerie

I do believe that I'm going to have to object to calling Smith a "conman." Read LDSTalk rules :)

I find it humorous that you have a problem with your husband looking at pictures of other women, but you have no objection to him having additional wives (according to LDS doctrine) when he gets to the CK. You'll just be "one of the wives". you are assuming that he will automatically be having numerous wives in the afterlife, like the muslim jihadists who get 70 virgins?..he and i have discussed this issue and he knows i am not comfortable with him remarrying if something were to happen to me, unless i left him with several small children...however i know and understand that even if he WERE to remarry, i'll still be the head wife, just as Emma Smith was and always will be the head wife...:) how polygamy in the afterlife works i don't know, and i really don't care as i know i will ALWAYS be #1 with my husband :)

Biz: i don't have to understand every little piece of LDS doctrine to know that it is right for me :) i understand a great deal, and that which i don't, meh..i don't worry about it...you may think that's "convienent", to me it's not a big enough issue to make a big deal out of...

matt i've lived in the south my entire life...when i am around certain people my accent is stronger, sometimes even exaggerated and i do not notice it...it happens :)

oh my bad, didn't mean to insult louisiana like that ROFL!

first off: bat: you have some real issues, grow up...if resorting to calling a 7 month pregnant woman "fat" is your way of a "come back", you need counseling..or maybe some testosterone...it appears you are still stuck in the midst of puberty with childish name-calling and antics... second off: correction: i married a man with a FORMER porn problem. why would i pass up a potential happy marriage because of one thing that i did not agree with? many people ask their future spouses to stop smoking, to stop drinking: i asked mine to respect ME and he did....he "broke" his "addiction" on his own...i did not "nag" him nor did we fuss and fight about it...i simply stated that if he wanted to marry me, he had to give up porn...it was HIS choice and he made that choice..my husband does not have a problem with porn, in fact he abhores the very thought of it now and feels horrible that he ever had a "problem" to begin with, much the way many people feel horrible about smoking for 20 years or for stealing candy from a store... i think i made an EXCELLENT judgement as i have a very, VERY happy marriage w/ a wonderful son on the way...porn is not an issue in our marriage as that was something that was taken care of before i said "i do"...you act as if i FORCED him to give it up..i gave him a choice, and he made a choice..don't like it? oh boo hoo...

Leave it up to you to twist what I said...

Good grief leave the poor woman alone!! Is it ANY of your business HOW she was affected? The church has a clear and simple stance against pornography: NO!! Many women feel betrayed and demeaned when they find their spouses or significant others looking at/acting out to pornography. To me it's a respect issue, I respect my husband enough not to lust after other men and not to go looking at naked men pictures *shudder*. He respects me enough to do the same. If you want "religious" reasons, the web is full of quotes and talks regarding the issue. To you it's something simple as "looking at a naked woman, getting turned on, and wanting sex" which is fine and dandy as long as it's ME my husband is looking at and it's ME that's turning my husband on and that it's ME my husband is having sex w/ both physically and mentally. If he wants to look at other women and fantasize about them, he can do it as a single man. :) My husband had a VERY bad pornography problem when I met him. Despite Cal's protests, there ARE some things in your "perfect" spouse that are simply unacceptable. I told my husband (then fiance) that if he loved me and respected me he would make a choice: a happy marriage or a cold magazine. It took a while and lots of support, but he broke the habit. He is now VERY thankful that I stood my ground on something that made me very uncomfortable as we've discussed this issue many times over the past 5 years of marriage. I didn't "change" my husband, he changed himself. The way you guys are almost mocking this woman is unbelieveable. Telling her to just leave her husband and don't forget the child support? Good grief. Pornography addiction is devastating: but it's not the end of the world or the marriage. THAT is not an issue of "why can't you just accept your husband for who he is." It's a degrading "habit" and not one to be taken lightly. Now, flame away bat and Cal

As a southerner I'm a bit offended at your characterization of the President based on his accent and demeanor. I LOVE that he doesn't try and fake his personality. I do recall Clinton having a bit of a "twang" being from Louisiana...

oh yes...people are going to stop voting because of the hurricanes...not very good logic there!

The Soviet Union fell because Communism doesn't "work."

amen Jenda!!

bat that was a little too far...you will be reported..grow up dude!! i was trying to be light hearted when this topic was going south for the winter...take your lithium for the day and call it quits

rofl..*pats bat on the head*...

whatever bat...you are trying to paint me as some kind of bigot and I am far from it..nice try :)

they may be gay, but i don't sit on a couch in their bedrooms w/ a bag of popcorn...why would i pay $8.50 to see a movie about homosexuality? to have a new PERSPECTIVE? my perspective on homosexuality is just fine...

actually...Forgotten is an extremely uplifting movie...has an AWESOME "moral" and has a wonderful ending...what you just described is not what Forgotten is about :) I have no desire to see Latter Days based on its content..

ROFL you should try getting to know me before attempting to insult me...

ROFL..how is THAT considered to have my "head buried in the sand"? Let's see..what is Latter Days about? I'll ask Netflix, who I rent my movies from: Hmmm...I've had 3 friends come off their missions who "outed" themselves. I was supportive and loving of each and every one of them. One friend lives in San Diego. He still says he's a "homosexual" however he is a non-practicing homosexual. He has repented of past deeds and is a full temple recommend holder. I love him dearly, his name is JD. Another of those friends also lives in San Diego w/ Nate his life partner. He recently had to have his cat put down due to cancer and has a new kitten on the way. He professes to be an atheist and he is one of the channel managers of #LDS where I chat frequently. He was one of my closest friends at BYU. The 3rd RM I haven't heard from in years, so I don't know what he's up to. So pray tell, HOW do I have my head in the sand? Because I don't want to watch a movie about homosexuality? Because I don't want to watch a movie about about a MISSIONARY who has sex with guys? I personally like THIS description brought to us by our friends at Blockbuster.com: ooooooh sounds uplifting!! Again, no thanks!! I personally recommend "The Forgotten" which I watched last night. Very good thriller w/ 5 cuss words. Not bad!!! Think before you type bat :) You judge me because of my religioius beliefs without even bothering to get to know me.

no desire to see a movie about homosexual mormon missionaries..not my cup of tea..rofl..has nothing to do w/ "perspective"....

so cal.."weath redistribution"...are you a communist or something? since WHEN do the "poor" DESERVE the money that the "rich" have worked so hard to EARN?? DH and I are considered "middle class", we have a beautiful home in a nice suburb and we drive new cars...however we were once considered to be in the "lower class" close to welfare status..does that mean since we're now making more money we should have to turn around and give most of it back to those who are too lazy to try and make something of themselves? give me a break...

That's nice. And please don't call me "dear," you patronizingly pathetic patriot. oh my...it's bad to be a patriot?? good thing thomas jefferson wasn't a patriot!

so you're denying a UN report?

I don't think any one knows how "non familial" relationships will work...just something I chalk up to "i'll know when I get there and no sense worrying about it now"...lol

yes nevermind the fact that Al Qaeda had been planning the 9/11 attacks for FOUR YEARS..it's ALL BUSH'S FAULT...
