  4. When your are formally called on a mission you are also formally released upon returning. At that point you are relieved of your rights, privileges and responsibilities. So you no longer function in that role or perform those duties from that point on. Onyx
  5. I have been so busy these last few months, I have not been able to visit this site. Tonight I finally got some time. I really enjoyed all of these wonderful accounts and I've had a good chuckle too. Keep the stories coming. Onyx
  6. AutumnBreeze, I did not find your OP offensive. On the contrary, I felt your sense of excitement. I understand the essence of what you were trying to share: Yes, the WoW was and is so very inspired. Yes, scientific evidence that was not available at the time of the revelation now provides convincing insight. Thank you for offering your thoughts. Most of all thank you for your very touching humility. Onyx
  7. Heh heh.....ok I gotta tell you guys this... A little while back, a lady in our ward decided to do a silly walk when she was leaving the pulpit. She fell down the two small steps and landed in a heap at the bottom. There was a stunned silence from the whole congregation until she stood up red-faced and laughing. Then everyone cracked up!! It took her a while to live it down. Onyx
  8. Hey Pushka. Hearty and sincere congratulations!! Wish I could be there. Could you maybe post some photos of the big day on your profile page? Onyx
  9. Hi Dana, Welcome to the site!! Onyx
  10. Hey Iggy, I get a lot of similar emails. I simply delete them. Onyx
  11. Hi GreenButterfly, Welcome aboard! Thanks for sharing a little about yourself with us. It's wonderful that you have found the happiness that the Gospel brings. Hope you are able to find more friends your age in your home area. Perhaps looking beyond your Branch and going to District activities will help? Enjoy the site. Onyx
  12. I'm feeling more confident with it now too Hanne. Onyx
  13. Hey Morning Star, Thanks for introducing yourself. Very nice to meet you! I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts. Onyx
  14. Hi Eric, Nice to meet you too. Thanks for telling us all a bit about you. I wish you success with your skating goal. You sound like the kind of guy who achieves what he aims for. It's great that you want to serve a mission too. I did and totally recommend it. One of the best decisions I ever made - for sure. Onyx
  15. The Priesthood of God. Being able to request and receive an administration or blessing of comfort when needed. How very fortunate we are to have that. Onyx
  16. Well I for one love your cherub avatar Strawberry. When I saw it changed I came close to a nervous breakdown!!! It was too much to bear with all of the other changes. I went into instant bereavement. I'm just kidding (tee hee hee). Change is good, keeps us fluid and creative. I'm starting to get the hang of the site now. Still have some to learn - but I'm getting there. Have a great day! Onyx
  17. Hey G!!!! Glad to hear that you love all of us skum!!! :lol: Love yah right back Onyx
  18. We received ours last Sunday. We were not required to pay or make a donation. We have never been asked to pay for the manuals. Onyx
  19. Strawberry, I am feeling the same sense of bewilderment. Threads I was following yesterday seem to have sections missing (eg. the one you started where we were telling what was happening around us whilst we were on line). To my recollection those posts were not in any way offensive or contrary to any rules, completely harmless in fact. The general set up is certainly different to the last one - I honestly prefer the previous site format. I'll hang in there for a while yet. However, if the site keeps crashing on me I'll have to bug out - too frustrating. It's gone down 4 times in the last 25 minutes.
  20. Hi Strawberry, I'm stumbling around the site a fair bit at the moment. It also keeps crashing - I don't know if it's a problem with my platform. Just a bit confused right now. But trying hard to work it all out. Onyx
