Bad Karma

Yeah *Guilty look* I've been getting that shouting to go renew my recommend and take my wife back to the temple, I don't really have an excuse not to go either. Funny, I was just looking at my temple case of "the stuff" just the other day, I think the spirit has been being blatantly obvious, next comes the crayons, I'm sure of it!

Dear "Not Me", Pray about it, I think the spirit will answer those questions pretty well, also, run this by your Bish. I love talking to the Bish, so I bug him about everything.

Nah, I'm kind of hard of hearing in so many ways, so, the spirit has to often raise his voice to me, speak slowly and use small words. But that's just me. When he really has to ram a point home, he breaks out the crayons. I like that about him.

ETA: Double post.

I spoke plainly, you're being obtuse. Again, if I don't feel like making subject XYZ a battle, I don't. How does it get resolved, easy, I'm resolved to refuse to talk about XYZ if I don't want to, nothing difficult about it. She's my wife, if it's not important enough to me to go all the way with a full blown argument yet she's still on about it, I tune her out. In reference to "Cuz"? *tilt* I'm assuming you meant "because", I see it is your contention that if I do not choose to not respect my own boundaries and capitulate into a discussion I would not have, then We won't go to a happy place in our marriage. *Shrug* Beats fighting about unimportant stuff. The cool thing about my boundaries are simply this, I choose them. My advice to Backroads? Zero, that's where the YMMV part came into play... It means "Your Mileage May Vary".

Cool topic, I decided to ask my wife the skinny about when I blow her off. We've come to a consensus that when something "goes in one ear and out the other" that I have found the issue/topic not worth debate or discourse and have "tuned out", in essence, I have picked and choose my battles and that was not one of them. When I consider it, this was quickly my answer, that being the case, for ***ME***, this would be accurate. YMMV

Sounds like a wonderful relationship built on so much trust already! Given what has already transpired, what could possibly go wrong? Is this The Bishop's Gong Show? Inquiring minds, and all....

If Vegetarians eat vegetables, then explain Humanitarians!

For those of us who have attained higher kingdoms, i.e. the Celestial Kingdom, I think we can go anywhere we want, at will. I think we WILL go anywhere, often. We'll visit those we love whom have not attained higher glory, why may one ask? LOVE. What God has instilled in us, and have our agency to do so at will. For the same reason I do not live in the goofy town my mother does, but I do go see her, because I love her, she doesn't have to live with me or next door to me to love her or to want to see her, I want to see her wherever she is. *Tipping hat* ETA: Misses posting the other stuff I wanted to post: As for "Christians" i.e. GENTILES attaining CELESTIAL glory, why not? While they might not have attained it here by virtue of being gentiles (No conversion in this life) we LDS do work pretty hard to GRAB EVERYBODY and take 'em to the temple in death, so that those who have not attained celestial glory CAN for themselves CHOOSE to attain (accept it) it or not. Otherwise, why do we keep going back to the temple after our own endowment? We do it for everyone, anyone, we get a name, we run with it, like we stole it, drive it till the wheels fall off, but we're yankin' you through the veil, never fear, **IF** we can't seal you, you'll get another opportunity in the spirit world to meet your future celestial spouse too. (This is the way the temple Prez explained it to me.) I've dragged Grandma and Grandpa there, all the way through. I told Mom that since she seems to not want to go to the temple, I'll just flap my wings like a vulture and wait until she gives up the ghost, drag her to the temple too, right along with Dad, get them all the way through and seal them up, if they accept it, it should be fun to watch them iron out old beefs in the Celestial Kingdom, or, he'll be the first guy in the Celestial Kindgom to have his celestial wife crack him one with a "Heavenly frying pan", which should be fun to watch too.

Presuming I go first, as per agreement with my wife, I will be cremated in my garments, placed in a double urn, ashed kept until her passing, she shall be cremated in the same manner, her ashes added to the same urn. Our family is directed to bury the urn with a single headstone with both of our information on it. We figure since we're sealed, we might as well continue to keep in the same space in death in the most practical manner. It should be quite impressive on the first resurrection when our ashes pop up, begin whirling and swirling about and then having two people suddenly manifest themselves. "Honey, do you know where my socks are"?

I have much confusion as to this as well: HX as to the topic: I have a daughter from a previous spouse (Not a member) who died when she was just a few months old. Her mother, a non-member, I had approached and asked if she would mind our daughter being sealed to my celestial wife and I. She voiced much objection, and I have refrained from sealing her to my wife and I. We also have two grown sons, that are LDS, who have voiced refusal to seal unless it was to their mother (again, she is not a member) and I. I have let the subject drop, with sadness, yet also out of a abundance of respect for them. I also have my mother, who is also LDS, yet has had no interest in going to the temple and is unendowed, and therefore, not sealed to me, yet have done the ordinances for my grandparents. Needless to say, I consider these things often with respect to the first resurrection. I just have to trust to heavenly father than it will all work out somehow. That's the best I've got concerning the subject, yet it weighs heavily on my mind.

Hi! I'm a MORMON REDNECK BIKER! (I sure am!) I ride an 01 Softail, 17 inch apes, thunderheader exhaust. AND I'm a redneck. I'm first and foremost a MORMON (I'm one of those who are very comfortable being called a MORMON). I fish, hunt, own a chainsaw, a hoof pick, do missionary work, heck, I wear religious garments, I even shine up pretty well enough for 'em to let me into a temple. I think men trying to be women is verbotten as well as women trying to be men is verbotten. I also stand for the pledge of allegiance, salute the flag, adhere to special dietary customs for religious reasons and I don't drink alcohol or use tobacco. The missus and I aren't just hitched, we got sealed too! I make a mean lemonade, know how to churn butter, make ice cream, so, I guess I'm a redneck biker religious extremist. Darn it, dang it, fetch! Well, H eee double hockeysticks! Who knew? I can't take me anywhere, shucks! Does this mean those funny NSA fellers are doing to stick me on that watch list of theirs?

IMHO, much ado about goofiness, you can call yourself a rutabaga if you want to, hey, if you're NOT a rutabaga, then your just not a rutabaga!

*LOL* It said I was a democrat @ 72% liberal. Odd that, I have always thought the liberal mindset was a mental illness. I guess me not caring about stepping on an earthworm or seeing an abdominal evisceration skewed me. Oh, the horror of it all, meh, I'm still a die-hard conservative regardless of the quiz.

I am very uncomfortable with Apple giving it up, I don't care if it is in the guise of "Public safety", we've been sold lots of nonsense by the government under the guise of public safety, and it's not made us any safer either, quite the opposite. Information on the phone *MAY* provide intel to other active "bad guys" operating in kind, yet I'd rather face more risk to safety than give government any further infringement into privacy, there is no substitute for GOOD POLICE WORK, no matter how hunky dory the short cuts may seem. I should note that I am one of the (step parents) of an adult "Survivor" of that event where the terrorists were engaged with SBPD SWAT, my daughter was in her office where the exchange of gun fire was taking place just outside of her window. My youngest step daughter who works in the same building was at the time, en route to work at that very location. In addition, My wife's niece was in the insurance building located next door to the initial active shooter incident. This said, I sustain Apple's position.

I'm willing to forgo the discount for hotter and fresher French fries and maybe extra onions on my burger. Ok, I lied, I want the discount too, I'm cheap.
