Bryans, don't let the ignorant among us get ya down. My wife recently got her R.N. degree and works full time. We have 2 children and don't plan on having anymore. I really don't have any friends in the ward as I live in Utah and the ignorance among the faithful is disturbing. My wifes friends consist mostly of the older people in the ward as they are much more tolerant(generally) then the newly weds. I've heard some ignorant statements from the pulpit during fast and testimony. One new sister who moved into the ward and newly married lammented from the pulpit how could any sister not marry a returned missionary. LOL, my wife just blew it off as the sister being an ignoramous. I didn't go on a mission. LOL i just shake my head and laugh. I figure the two little boys she has under the age of 2 is punishment enough!!!!!! Born in American Fork Utah and raised in Provo i was exposed to the ignorance at a very young age. My mother would forbid me to play with non-lds kids. I've heard and witnessed some pretty strange stuff at church. One brother got so mad at my dad that he tried to kill him with his rifle. Came after my father after church. He went home and got his rifle and was running towards my house, which my father saw him leave his house with the rifle and pulled out his .44 mag and was waiting by the front door for the brother to come a callin. A member of the ward was walking down the street at the time and saw what was going to happen and tackled the rifle weildeng brother from behind. LOL!!!!! The bisop and my mother convinced my father to not press charges against the brother. my father told the bishop, fine butt if he does anything to my family or me it is on your head!! The bishop agreed. Just know it could be much much worse. take the opportunity, when one presents their ignorance, to be thankful that it isn't you being the ignoramous and then have a hearty laugh.* *The above is opinion, except for the stories, they really happened.
