I have read the Book of Mormon before and I'm in the process of reading it again, just having got through Alma. As so many other people before have stated and it's been told before that people feel the spirit in different ways, I'm not sure if I've felt the spirit because I don't know how the spirit comes to me, if it's ever come to me at all. Some of these things I have not done for awhile I will admit, but a lot of them I so so. I pay my tithing without a grudge, it's the first thing I do when I get income. How can I attend the Temple if I don't feel like I'm worthy enough to go? I may have a temporary recommend but I still feel like I shouldn't be going there when I couldn't answer all the questions truthfully. The branch is actually back in my hometown, I am actually now living in one of the most major cities of the country. I do have a calling, I'm a relief society teacher. I'm confused, you say you cannot doubt, but you still doubt with other things, do you mind me asking for an example? I never knew this, or if I had been taught it I have since forgotten it, that is a big help right there the fact that prophets have been searching for years, I supose I just worry because I was born into the church and have been living it's principles since then and I'm still struggling? Thankyou for your input, I will try this also. I'm not sure what it was that caused it or what I lost faith in? As I said, I moved away from my family, there was no one here with me, I had no relatives no close friends nothing, just someone who continually goes on about my life unoticed an uncared for besides my family, only... they are on the other side of the country, I guess that impacted on me quite a bit, I never really thought of how big an impact it was, I always thought I was quite indipendent, but I was wrong. I had to ask for lifts every week to church, and I felt like a burden, no one would ever offer, they knew I had no other way of getting to church, but no one would bother. I felt like the outcast... I still do in a way even though I don't have to ask for lifts anymore as I now have my own car here. Is it normal to go on doing something just because? That's what I feel like my whole life has been about involving the church. I don't know what I believe and cling to church so much because I want this Temple marriage so much? I don't understand it, but besides that fact how can I have a temple marriage is I can't even believe in the things that lead up to it, no one is going to want to marry someone for eternity if they aren't a strong member are they? Anyway that's just one of the examples I have. Thanks for your help so far guys, it's really appreciated.

I've been struggling with this for a long time, posted several thread about it before also, some of you may have read it, others may not have. Nearly 3 years ago I moved away from home, moved to the other side of the country so that I could do my course that I am currently in my final year of studying. I had no family over here for a year or so. I went to church every week, lived the gospel etc. somewhere along the way I lost my testimony? I don't actually know if I had it to begin with, or if I was just relying on my parents and my family's. I tried really hard to find out for myself, prayed, studied the preach my gospel as well as the scriptures that went along with it. Anyway, it went even further as to the point where I don't know if I believe in God or not, I haven't had any real confirmations that I know of? Maybe I'm just stubborn, I have decided to just believe and get on with it, I was born in the church. I think about the creation and human beings and all of those things and think it isn't possible that everything just happened, but I still don't know what to believe. I don't understand myself or what's going on, but I'm tired of trying and feeling like I'm getting nowhere. Anyway before I go all over the place, at the beginning of the year I was asked if I wanted to go to the Temple, I want to go I feel like it's where I should go (heck, I want to be married there), but I don't feel worthy, don't feel like I could go there. I had the interview with the Branch president (back at my Home with my family), I told him my concerns, the only questions I couldn't answer were Do you believe in God, and do you believe in the Church, I told him truthfully and he felt prompted to give me the temporary recommend to enter into the temple. As I said before I have just told myself to Believe in God and get on with it, but how do I get confirmation, I want to believe whole heartedly without any doubt like others say they do, but how do I get that for myself? and also to believe in the church. Am I just being stubborn and stupid or what, I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Sorry for the really long winded post and all over the place, but I don't feel like I can do this any more. How did you get your confirmation? How do you know?

I just thought of another one. There was a chicken talking with her friend the frog. The frog wanted to read a book. So the chicken went to the library and said "bock, bock, bock" she was given a book and then returned to her friend only to be told "reddit reddit reddit". =D

I don't know if they've already been done, but I don't feel like reading through them all. Q. Did you hear the joke about the butter? A. I can't tell you, you might spread it Or a similar one Q.Did you hear the joke about the wall? A. I can't tell you, you might not get over it

I guess he was the dumb blonde of the joke. No offence intended to any blondes!

Only slightly disturbing as well...

That's sad and disheartening, should I mention that it was my 3 "friends" that were bullying me?

That's really sad when it comes to that, if only things like that could be stopped or most importantly, avoided. I'm shocked that there was physical abuse to a female, I know it does happen, but not usually. I was bullied in school, but it wasn't the physical kind, I only had 3 friends, and no one else would talk to me or wanted nothing to do with me because I was a "goody-two-shoes" or a "teachers pet" To get out of the situation I was fortunate enough to change schools. Now it's just a memory, but it holds no pain.

Touche, I can understand where you are coming from and I will keep that in mind :)

Haha! Yes maybe it does, I think it's about time I change that back to the old one then!

What do you find annoying on internet sites? Guessing that people don't actually read your page before they hit the friend request button! Grrrr some people frustrate me... anyhoo, just thought I'd share that with you.

The Shrek version of Best Days by Matt White, there's like one word different or something like that, but I much prefer it that way

Happy Birthday!!!!! Yay! You're so many years young!

I was just curious as I have a PC and my good friend has a Mac, I've never really been a part of the PC, Mac battle, and I'm still not, but I would like to know why any of you prefer one over the other. For me I use a PC because that's what I've always used and never known much about macs, but I'm kind of intrigued by the Macs... Your thoughts?

I'm just about to head out to see some friends from church who kindly offered my sister and I over for dinner and then to also join them for Family Home Evening. :)

"use the pants luke"

where were the pants?

Well seeing as people are still sort of going on about ages, I'm 19, but most people who meet me think I'm in my 20's. I don't feel 19 either, I've always felt older, not sure why. I teach swimming to little kids and some of them are too young to understand, the other day one called me Mrs... that made me feel old

No white Christmas for me, guess that's what you get for living in Australia!
