  1. I agree with you and appreciate your answer but how do you do that exactly? I know I need to improve. (I don't mean this sarcastically) Do you think you people get to a point where there is no need to improve? It sounds like you have it down to a science.
  2. If you have not already done so, Mormon.org is a great site to explore the faith as well :) Best wishes in your exploring!
  3. Personal mini goals- spend less time on the internet , read more.
  4. Imperfect, opinionated, anonymous, diverse, chosen online versions of Church memembers/brothers and sisters/internet strangers with keyboard courage.
  5. If we have the guts to share something on the internet, should we also have the guts to take the responses?
  6. I agree with/appreciate both The Folk Prophet and Eowyn's comment. Christ did offend people all the time, yet he was/is perfect. Christ is an example to us. He spoke up. On the other hand, we can't really hold a candle to Christ. We aren't perfect, we did not perform the Atonement. I think the topic of contention has grey areas. Other people may say no, it's always black and white. Maybe the black and white offend the grey. No, the grey offends the black. No, the black clearly offends the grey. No, the white offends only the grey, but never the black. If the spirit prompts you to say something, then you should say it, regardless of possible hurt feelings. Let the Holy Ghost be your guide. I don't think the spirit will lead us astray.
  7. Respectful, civil, silly- those are your opinions. Other people may not agree. What is non-civil to you can be civil to someone else. We have the moderators for this site. I think they do their job. We have to use our own best judgement but full speed ahead
  8. It is a strength to keep things respectful and civil. It is not always easy to do. I don't always think of fighting, being passionate comes to mind. I think passion is a good thing. It is an impossible balance, being passionate and not stepping on anyone's toes. There is always someone that might be offended or disagree. I don't think we should go out of our way to offend either, even if it provides mental stimulation. It really is a delicate balance with inevitable offending and being offended. Do we give up and shut up or keep on going? My one cent.
  9. I think I could use a little Led Zeppelin right now
  10. You were calling both mine and Leah's examples silly and extreme. What I am saying is, examples (in general) are okay, even if other people think they are silly, extreme, or whatnot.
  11. lagarthaaz- have you talked to your Bishop and Primary President about your feelings regarding your primary? It might help you feel better. It could initiate a change for your primary kids. Maybe you and your fellow church leaders can come up with something to do for the kids that feel left out, unloved, etc. You could ask parents for suggestions too.
  12. . I say, please keep opening your "big yap"
  13. I grew up in a very contentious home. I think a little contention is inevitable since we are imperfect people. Resisting the natural man is a life long battle, and we will fall sometimes. I think the degree of contention in the home can be a gauge. It can serve as a yellow or red flag for specific problems that need to be addressed. I know contention in the home is not a good thing. The less contention, the better. The spirit will not stick around with contention, but it can come back :)
