You could let the child choose once he or she is old enough that's what my parents did (mind you I was 24 before I really chose but, hey never late then never)

oh well that's good

I thought you had to apply for those, do they just send them out at random sometimes?

I wanted to answer this part, because I think you are right. The people today are nuts. Growing up everything in high school revolved around having sex. I was told by everyone I knew wanting to be with someone I loved was insane. (Though I believe as a mentally ill individual with... problems with maintaining relationships, bringing a child into the world would be an awful thing for me to do-for the child and me). As I said, people these days are nuts, everyone wants more. I honestly think a lot of people see relationships as a simple game and that you can "trade up" whenever you want. There's no love, a relationship is something someone needs to get, like the latest shoes or an xbox. People have problems well before children come along.

the little duck is adorable, my parents somehow kept a few stuffed animals from when I was a baby I have never seen a trio of more ragged looking things in all my life. my baby blankets are in a lot better shape, somehow. congratulations though (I have a tendency to ramble)

its called anxiety and general relationship issues. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with religion, it sounds more like anxiety and such. As someone who deals with it, without medication, I know how nutty the mind can go sometimes.

oh good, then its not just all me... I think the hardest part is going at it all alone though I do think some of my depression is caused by a certain book I am writing, but it must be completed

good point, I wonder who I got along the best with... guess I'll find out when I die

yeah I remember having a nightmare when I started reading the Book of Mormon but I honestly believe that was my wacky mind and not the scripture doing that to me...

to what? I would rather see my dead cat Maytag then a lot of my extended family (the ones who are dead I never met-and there's that whole no Mormons ever in my family, I'd be the first... probably the only one, so I couldn't make any Last of the Mohicans references)

though I have kind parents, if I had to like go back and relive my childhood with new ones for whatever reason, would rather have a good homosexual couple raising me, then a crappy straight couple just cause one can have children, doesn't mean they should... I have met a lot of straight couples that should never breed, did breed and were awful parents

I hear it all the time from anti-Mormons yes many people do see religion as a lack of intelligence, citing the lack of pure fact and the idea of faith, a silly idea also a lot of them go to the extremes when they think of Christians (thinking of the Westbro Baptist Church) for example they don't think of those who aren't as serious as others. I am not a serious religious individual, and there are things I don't agree with that the LDS church says. Maybe that's because I am a convert or just me, but even before, before all this I couldn't prove the absence of some sort of divine being. One can attack the dogma but cannot attack the idea of divinity, really...

what exactly is Kolob

sadly its a normal human wild west town... I have pony specific terrain for my pony miniatures

aw that's cold...that's cold

if you dedicate a thread to me... then it must have my little pony video's

none of my friends had ideas for my miniature wild west town (it coincides with a wild west miniature game I play) gotta make a store, a bank, a church... donno what kind of church... which ones were around in the wild west...

maybe he's in Top Gun? I love that song...though I like Footloose more

I remember for our manly tests of strength (I was around ten) we'd tear chunks out of pop cans with our teeth. I never had any "boundaries" talk (well obviously don't touch someone if they don't want you to) and though there wasn't any law of chastity in my house I don't grab other people's neither regions and stuff... sure I was far from perfect but... people around me did a lot more I am choosy who I hug (mostly girls)

I know, and that's nice to not have to deal with immaturities :)

if this were any other forum I'd think you were making a sex joke... the dolls are one of my grandest collections, I have many-I invent so much of my time in them because humanity lets me down so... Yeah Wedding Singer wasn't bad, and as a kid I laughed at him destroying a mechanical clown or murdering an alligator in Happy Gilmore... (or getting beaten by Bob Barker) but I digress... Defend Billy Madison to me, or That's My Boy you can't! those are like mind disease, they murder my ideas!!

I still think Adam Sandler movies, regardless of rating should never be viewed by mortal men...

oh that's even worse, I mean having a strange angle to the gospel is neat to see but if its someone who is in the purely wrong mindset then yeah, sending them door to door is a bad idea no matter how you slice it the missionaries were my first real exposure to the church and I am glad they were informative and didn't say things that I later quoted to their credit, that were wrong and thus making me look foolish

not all investigators are radical crazies like me... he could be saying some things that... probably might chase away some people

Interestingly enough the US has a harsher rating then Canada does, so whenever one bought a VHS tape I remember seeing the US rating printed on the box and the Canadian rating sticker, always lower, stuck on the box later. But I don't have any rules when it comes to watching movies, I have other things I want to deal with first before deciding if I should be watching an anime where people's heads explode or anything with Adam Sandler (that one is just an example, I hate Adam Sandler-seems the older I get the less funny he becomes)
