  1. Somewhere in the Caribbean. Not sure if we'll fly or cruise.
  2. Loved American Gods, but it's been several years since I read it. Can't wait for the tv series to be made. I'm about to start the Outlander series.
  3. Who owns the land? If it is church owned, the church needs to step up
  4. Sounds like for such a small indiscretion, you've already handled the repentance. Time to stop beating yourself up and move on
  5. Am I the only one who finds this story a bit over the top as it goes on? Seems someone's getting played and maybe not the bishop
  6. a bishop asking for further details regarding LOC issues to a teenager is extremely inappropriate. If I found out my bishop asked my teenage daughter anything other than the standard "do you keep the LOC", there would be serious problems. if a YW does not fully understand the LOC, it should go to the parents for counsel, not under any circumstances the bishop.
  7. Is the question would you taste the wine before cooking with it, or would you taste the food prepared with the wine?
  8. Big difference in the Real World example. BYU honor code was violated, not LOC. Also, she was registered for a full semester which she did not attend. That by itself is grounds for dismissal. From what they showed on Naked and Afraid, no commandments or covenants were broken
  9. The guy on this weeks episode was a Mormon from Idaho. He was quite open about his beliefs, even showed him praying several times. Anyone else see this episode?
  10. Spin off the original question, are you responsible for the safe keeping of an item left at your house until the owner comes back for it? If something is broken or lost after it was left and before it is return/claimed, what happens?
  11. There is a Deseret News story out on this topic. The author states that she pays a babysitter $15 total for 2 kids, 3 hours. I can't believe someone would take advantage of a babysitter like that. I remember growing up charging at least $5/hr for each kid. What do you pay a sitter, or if you have babysitting kids, what do they charge?
  12. Our ward has a rule of no sacrament outside the chapel. It is not taken to the foyers for any reason including to take it to someone who has stepped out with a child.
  13. Is anyone else watching this on Discovery? It has quickly become my favorite show on tv currently. I think it's by far the best of the survivor type shows.
  14. Ok so to answer the question, would I wear a strapless tankini to a swim party if Jesus were attending? Yes. I once had a fellow yw leader throw a fit about a yw's skirt not covering her knees at a dance. She asked the bishop to send her home saying something along the lines of, would she wear it if Jesus were there. He replied something like 'if Jesus were here, would he send her home?'
  15. If Jesus were here I wouldnt be sitting on my couch in my underwear, watching reruns of 30 rock while I eat this chocolate pudding without feeling guilty either. But he isnt and I am...
  16. it was argued that it shows a poor example to our youth and that basically this behavior should remain in the bedroom. Thankfully the majority brushed it off as being ridiculous. I have never felt distracted by someone in front of me giving a backrub.
  17. We recently had a rather heated discussion on public displays of affection at church in RS. I've never thought it to be a problem but a few sisters thought even giving a spouse s back rub during sacrament was inappropriate and offensive. I often give my hubby a quick kiss before going to class and have seen others do the same. Thoughts?
  18. While both I and my husband will admire a good looking man or woman, neither of us do it in hopes of sexual encounters.
  19. big difference between that scenario and screaming at a movie theatre or a nice long look at the beach
  20. no, not a scream. Definitely a smile :)
  21. Of course he looks. Sometimes I'm like, really? But other times it's, ok I can see that. In fairness, I do the same when a hot guy walks by or is on tv :)

    Hi

    After lurking for a while here as a guest, I figured it was time I joined. I'm 25, married 4 years, both born & raised in the church. We have a 9 month old daughter who is a handful! I've enjoyed everyone's posts and look forward to contributing.
