    omegaseamaster75 got a reaction from Anddenex in Your advice to a member wants to court a non-member?   
    Well then you know the answer, on a side note full disclosure about your religious history will probably be important sooner rather than later if you decide to date him, if he is even a moderately practicing member this may be a deal breaker

    omegaseamaster75 got a reaction from Jane_Doe in Overwhelming and a Burden   
    This is a perfect example of a Bishop being out of his depth of expertise.  The bishops role should be to point you in a direction in which you can receive the help you need, and facilitate it if necessary. 
    @Petty3 You need professional help, you have received some good advice so far but I would recommend counseling 3-4x a week, not once every 3-4 weeks. I don't know if you mentioned that you were on any types of medication, but if not this is something you should look into.

    omegaseamaster75 reacted to The Folk Prophet in I keep finding advantages to plural marriage   
    I just feel like this needs to be posted here:

    "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Mosiah 3:19 (emphasis mine)
    We live in a time when we don't have to worry about polygamy being inflicted upon us. But being unwilling even if the Lord sees fit to inflict it upon us?
    Are we enemies to God or are we not?

    omegaseamaster75 reacted to dahlia in BYU-Provo and tithes   
    Do people think that tithing only goes to the Church schools? While I'm happy to support these schools, I also know that my tithing supports Helping Hands, the water projects, the farms and food projects, pays to build temples and keep the lights on at existing temples - what is the problem? So your kid didn't get into a Church school. S/he'll live. And depending on what the kids wants to do in life, there are better educational choices elsewhere.
    I've been a member long enough to learn that having gone to BYU-wherever is no guarantee  that the person will stay in the Church or even do a mission. So there's that. When I learn somebody's going to BYU, I always wonder, 'Didn't you want something different? You're 18 and have lived in Utah or Idaho your whole life - don't you want to see what the rest of the world is like?'

    omegaseamaster75 got a reaction from Barrett Maximus in Testifying about what others are not doing   
    Why do you care about what others are not doing? is it affecting you in some negative way?  
    You bore testimony on a mystery topic of which you are certain that many are not doing or following (i'm not sure how you could know that) and you come here for what? an atta boy? Way to show em? An affirmation that it's ok to offend a room full of people because your right? 
    I guess I don't get it.

    omegaseamaster75 reacted to Lost Boy in Testifying about what others are not doing   
    To me testimony meeting has always been about bearing testimony of our father in heaven, our savior and of the gospel.  It is not a chance to recount your last vacation.  It is not a chance to let everyone know how awesome of a parent you are by throwing accolades at your kids.  It is not a chance to be preachy.
    To me it is a chance to testify of things that you have felt from the spirit.   Feelings you felt in the Temple.  promptings you had when you read the scriptures, etc.
    It certainly shouldn't be used as a chance to show your superiority over your fellow church members.

    You need to call the stake president today. I'm giving everything said a 50% discount but even at that your bishop has crossed a line. The second you said something to him he should have rearranged his interactions with your wife.

    That would be absurd. I, for one, would be far less likely to talk openly to my bishop if his wife were in the room with him. He holds the Priesthood keys of leadership, not his wife.

    There is speaking out against the government which I am totally fine with, and there is being disrespectful to our lawfully elected officials.
    That's a pretty big assumption, point of fact is I did not vote for Trump. Yes my 401k is killing it, and I could care less if he slept with a porn star 12 years ago.

    I never said she had to stay with him point out where I said that. Don't put words in my mouth.  We know half of what has gone on in their relationship her half. So yeah I'm not so quick to "blow up" the marriage. 
    The only nauseating thing is your lack of a sense of humor and singular focus on the sins of the husband..
    She gets to decide. There are options it's up to the OP
