I remember someone I don't care for gave me this whole "oh you should have a significant other if you plan to move out" very insulting Anyways, I always find when I move I always forget the little things like toilet paper and soap.

So sometimes I sell things, usually old video games I pick up at garage sales or magic the gathering cards. It's very random when I do that, as it is mere chance I come across these things. Question is, would you put that in the say weekly tithe (I would pay weekly since I get paid weekly) or is it it's own thing and paid separately? What do you think?

I like the missionary figures, should get them and have a doll photostory with them, a wealth of hilarity with missionaries and faeries got some neat stuff here

I've had a lot of really great conversations with missionaries. Got some real bright folks, last one I chatted with we had a stimulating conversation on the origin of Christianity and the Catholic church (about its origins and changes and such). Moved on to the founding and the split off sects. While it is indeed silly to assume they know everything, they certainly know more then most anyone I have ever talked to about religion, and I always learn something from them.

huh, sounds like a neat program, I remember as a kid watching one about the Tower of Babel... I drew a lot of pictures of what I imagined it looked like. I always liked bible stories but they never told the ones I wanted to hear in catholic school.

I don't recall if they quoted anyone, it was at the classroom (Gospel Studies? I can never remember what its called). While I did disagree, I do think I have a tendency to "go up to 11" sometimes. As I said sometimes I think I look for it, and I feel bad... I was actually pretty happy there, I am never happy. Moving on, I don't exactly remember much, this was like 5 weeks ago (and I did get sick a few days after).

I'd get a smaller fire extinguisher as well as a larger one, not all fires need the big one (and those big ones get real heavy)

I see... Well what do you all think would look best?

got some of my Lamanites and Nephites painted... where, abouts do people generally agree the battles were fought? (This effects what the terrain board will eventually look like)

and also, I think I find things to be negative about, to avoid things. Perhaps out of fear, I don't know, I just get angry, or sad and the things that didn't really bug me before get me all bent out of shape. And I look back on them and wonder where that feeling came from... and I apologize for that

true, and I wonder where I go from here? I do wonder if other investigators have the same feeling, and what they did? (and I should note that sometimes I am not in a good mindset, emotions just hit me and I get far more negative about things then I actually am. And some of the disagreements, more like most, are born out of selfish reasoning) I am a very selfish person, and they say the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. I have lots.

no just how they talked about it...Not the church's fault, one can't blame a whole church because I didn't like what one person said. I also had a panic attack about 4 days later at the thought of getting baptized amongst the other fears, its a long story. I do agree with a lot of it, that relations should be between people who love each other in marriage, and I do regret not waiting. As a church, I still believe the LDS one is the best, it is the most warm and ultimately human feeling one. And I said that to the missionaries, the church seems the most down to earth and understanding. And I believe that. I don't see it as a negative to disagree with something, I enjoy opening up a dialog with others and talking about it. Some people take it as an offence, and I don't wish to ever make it look like that.

The last time I went to church they had a talk about, amongst other things pornography and they made the whole pornography might make you a killer thing. I have never been more uncomfortable, talking very negatively on things I don't agree with the church on (sexuality and things relating to it-basically the law of chastity) I mean I don't expect to agree with everything a church says, people told me that from the get go. And I am surprised I did with what I have... But I didn't know what to say, and said nothing... I mean what do you say to that?

send some up to Canada, I've only ever had 1 pair of Missionaries to my door in all my life-a lot more Jehovah's Witnesses, and there are less of them

I've seen the second one

well for miniatures I have ultimately selected a company called Caeser Miniatures, for the Lamenites converted Biblical Egyptians, and for the Nephites the Hebrew Warriors with a few lighter conversions (mostly weapon swaps and a bit of tinkering here and there). Were they all just infantry, what else did they have?

so are you a Jehovah's Witness?

Watchtower? like the Jehovah's Witness thing?

Of the Lamanites and Nephites, did the Book of Mormon tell what they looked like? Did they have any banners or symbols? I wanted to make a diorama of the two armies battling and, well have to find the right miniature as a base, (they make many biblical miniatures but I've not seen any Nephites or Lamanites... mind you if there were, I doubt they'd be in the scale that I want)... Oh well.

yes my dreams, it's something that seemed to follow me from my days as a neo pagan and, well I still take a lot away from them. I believe they are often my mind sorting out thoughts, my fears, questions I cannot ask or receive any answer to. Or just it messing around. Not all my dreams make me think, but some do, some do.

if I got paid to work on facebook:lol: insanity, all the time... less BoM quotes though, goes against the doll-character

I often, out of habit, go to my dreams

I have seen it do that to people, mind you those people were mentally unstable human beings largely incapable of relationships, so when someone brought that up, it held no grounds to them. To say pornography is a victimless crime can be true and false. Indeed if a committed man or woman watches it then yes it can make them unrealistic or selfish or just ...how do I put this... desire things that cannot occur in human sexual relationships But then you have the mentally unstable person, lets use people with Asperger's as an example, since I know many and I too share that mental illness with them. Religion and Asperger's very rarely mix, its not a desire for atheism, its just no one can say and prove where God is and for a lot of them, faith is an alien concept. So, as one might know, people with Asperger's are usually pretty terrible with socializing. And thus become alone and depressed and... porn is really all they will ever have. It is not out of selfishness, but simply that is all the world gives them. I don't look down on them. I never will. Every person with Asperger's who did believe in a God had a weird, totally out there idea about it all (myself included)...

I think it gets overlooked more then other things, is because people not of faith generally don't think of it as an issue. Where religious groups have a general consensus on it, people like athiests and the like do not, so I imagine that makes things harder to get a general idea what it does to someone.

well I have a long life ahead of me so I am sure I will change something along the way
