  1. I was watching the Coyote and Roadrunner shorts...guess it wormed its way into my mind
  2. are you choosing not to get married or is that just a what if, I imagine if there is a difference you won't get punished for that (say, someone has a fiancée and get killed by a falling piano 14 days before their wedding, vs someone like me who refuses to ever get married)
  3. I also like to talk to some of my pony collecting friends-but that's a more normal use for it
  4. I don't think Satan made me an angry loner...I think its more me then anything:lol:
  5. does that happen at baptism or is that something that happens in the temple
  6. people grow food?! (I kid... I grow herbs, like sage and oregano... I think there's a plum tree I ought to harvest... no wait I already did)
  7. I think everyone wants to, I myself enjoy the general surprise (well as long as its decent)
  8. I imagine stuff happens, there, that would eliminate the need for that we look at things with our own eyes and understanding of structure. I would think God and all those in the Celestial Kingdom do it a lot better.
  9. alright lower degree here I come:lol: to be serious for a second, from what I understand, why would they split it up even further? If you are deserving enough to be there, you get in...right?
  10. well if the individual is me then, I don't see the harm in mocking... me I am not taking offence and it really doesn't but I have heard accountants making jokes about cheques that are really low and having to go to the bank and such I don't understand accountant jokes but they find it funny- all accounting is generally the same
  11. no no they said expect, they did say everyone should try I don't remember exactly how they said it... it was a few weeks ago I still wouldn't want to be the guy that gets the 2 dollar tithing cheque and has to do the accounting mumbo jumbo for that:lol:
  12. the first cheque I got was 20 dollars from the orientation day I do remember the Missionaries telling me that the church doesn't expect people who, like are on welfare and such to tithe- as one put it "people can starve on welfare if they're not careful" I make less then they do, right now... I miss being a janitor:lol: but all that is rather irrelevant since I am not baptized so...yeah
  13. I can answer that for my own situation... "Up until a week ago I had no job, and thus had no income, and knowing my hours for the rest of the month should I tithe 10% of my income, the church would get less then 20 dollars. I can't afford it because part time jobs are an insult and this city doesn't exactly have a good array of employment"
  14. they mess with me sometimes, its an...unsaid activity we have, though I think when you get a bunch of immature early 20somethings together- stuff like that is bound to happen
  15. How do you have fun on facebook? Often times I find it extremely boring, but I try to have a few things... I like to keep things random, and interesting (to me). I don't share meaningless thoughts like; "my day was so long, sigh" (or anything with those # things) no I keep it more like "I swear the moon is talking to me! It sounds like Tim Curry!!" I don't like to get into debates with people, I find if its not in person people just break down into personal attacks really quickly. As such I never post scripture to my wall, knowing many atheists that's just not a good idea... I have people I have stimulating talks about religion to. No, I like to post fake scripture (stuff I made up- made up completely, most people have no idea, as long as it sounds roughly old English and has the little number thing and a name there, people more often then not think it's from something) It came about when I was trying to think of creative ways to market one of my novels. I like to test people...Someone said that was trolling. I did catch an atheist saying something I took from the Book of Mormon sounded good -Nephi 9:30) I ought to get a picture of that one second my facebook is for a doll (seen here attacking a toy- her name is Clover, would have thought it would be Lakumi, considering she is the doll I am named after here but... nope) so that cuts down on a lot of unwanted friend request (family, fellow employees, etc) I have more stories but I ought to let someone else have a turn...
  16. though like religious people there are serious and less serious atheists some simply want nothing to do with religion. I know both those sorts
  17. yes and no one might argue that there is no worship of anything, its the belief there is no God there's no church or rules or commandments no books to read, no repentance, baptism religion is usually classified by worship of a deity Some people don't really consider Buddhism a religion since there is no worship of a Deity
  18. indeed, I find a lot just refuse to sit down and talk about their beliefs, as if you saying your different ones, will destroy theirs or lack of theirs I guess I enjoy talking about what I believe in, I welcome other people's opinions and idea's, even if I disagree.
  19. I would say they prove God more then disprove him, because those things certainly seem a design by a divine being-to me anyways
  20. I heard someone call the Book of Mormon "Jesus Fanfiction" but most of the people I know have something half intelligent to say for what they believe, I don't associate with idiots lol religion only really comes up though when I spout off my "fake scripture" (I didn't like throwing the BoM under the bus, so only use quotes amongst serious circles)
  21. what scriptures does she believe in? During my life, mostly late teens and adulthood I read about all sorts of religions, tis what brought me here and... well this is the one I liked the best. But when I grew up, I always wondered why religious people were religious. I didn't grow up in a religious household and I don't live in one now, there's a great many beliefs about family and such, religions have different idea's on why families exist and what will become of them in the end. Though there is a great deal of my family I don't care to see now, letalone spending eternity with, but they aren't Mormon so...
  22. there's more then 2 people are claiming are up there
  23. I get the impression a lot of people don't feel they should have to do anything, and feel things should work because they simply want them to and if the other person has any issue then they just aren't serious enough about the relationship
  24. I'm a man and I've not figured myself out:lol:
  25. eh maybe because there is love involved wasn't the case for me
