We're always going to be Mormons to non-members. Thats never going to go away lol... so whenever I talk to them about church I always say LDS or "church of jesus christ of latter-day saints" just to confuse them lol. This girl at school was ranting mormons... points a finger at me "ARNT YOU MORMON?!" NO, I reply, im LDS. "Huh?" "Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints" ..... "who are they? "Well, we read the book of Mormon" "YOU ARE A MORMON I KNEW IT!" I think the best thing to do is to educate them that the correct name for "mormon" is LDS. latter-day saint... etc.

From www.dictionary.com... definition of cult: 1. a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies. 2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult. 3. the object of such devotion. 4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. 5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols. 6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader. 7. the members of such a religion or sect. Well. Shoot. It does look really watered down.

Hey, I liked the talk... maybe not the post so much. MY eyes hurt from that!

What I have found is that many times Satan tells us that we need to do our half and our spouse half and our marriage will work! This is incorrect! yes.. 50% and 50% will make a whole, but if you slack IN ANY DEGREE then the marriage is less then 100%! The trick is... that both of you focus your attention 100% on eachother. That way even if you both fail by.. lets say 25% then your marriage is still looking at 150%.. see what I mean? Also, Marriage is alot more about BEING the right one than FINDING. if you focus on self-improvement and being active and reading scriptures and saying couple prayers, you will have a better marriage. I wish you luck - your marriage isnt over yet! You always try do what I like to do lol... if things start getting a little heated. just say... "can we start our conversation over.' one of you leave the room and come back, and pretend you never had the other conversation... you will find you forget them, its amazing.. really stupid but it works for me lol.
