  1. I bet it will be a pretty alright movie.
  2. All I know is what I read and watch. I dont go or have any family members that attend either.
  3. Just by reading the stories about how “Terrible” The HCO is, it appears that many people want it to be more lenient to their standards, which are standards the world holds. Essentially to step back from the standards of the church and adopt more lenient standards. That, and there are some of the questionable pro LGBT and Black Lives Matters movements on campus. Though they don’t represent the school ad a whole, I’m surprised to see it at BYU.
  4. From what I understand, the HCO only approaches people when they get reported by someone else. In almost every complaint story I hear, I think to myself “ya... if I witnessed that then I would report it too” sure maybe sometimes there was nothing wrong happening, but there would be no way for the reporter to know what was really happening. Additionally... there seems to be a liberal lean starting to occur in some topics in this school (which I assumed would be conservative).
  5. So I am selling my current computer on KSL right now and I got an offer from someone who wants to send me a check and have me ship my laptop to him... well duh this is a scam. But later today I got another offer for my laptop from another person out of the state that wants me to ship it to him, but he said he will pay me via PayPal... We agreed that I would not send him the laptop till I got paid. As far as I know, PayPal is a foolproof way of making sure you don't get scammed (assuming you don't do anything weird in the transaction. Can a PayPal payment to you "bounce" like a check can? Could this be another (or the same) scammer but using PayPal? Any advice?
  6. And 3 seconds later my wife literally screamed at 2 of them.
  7. This is the only reason I need
  8. I really appreciate the title suggesting there are multiple reasons for using military time, but only offering 1 reason... yet that 1 reason is better than any comprehensive list one could possibly come up with
  9. If by “tail end” you mean last 50% of the short 10ish paragraph article than ya.
  10. Lol Sometimes I skeptically challenge my heavy leaning political and social views by asking things like “Does the media REALLY make so-called fake news?” My desire to seek common ground by slightly leaning the other way is constantly thwarted by those leaning the other way.
  11. https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/first-presidency-messages-general-conference-leadership-session-april-2019 essentially: - Children of same sex parents can now get baptied without first presidency permission - Same sex marriage is no longer considered “apostasy” but will be treated similar to heterosexual type sexual sins.
  12. Whenever I think of this movie, I only think of this cast:
  13. Definitely stay in the YSA. You may or may not get nagged, but YSA and institute are made to help young adults grow in the gospel and offers real growth and opportunities to serve. You have experiences and strengths that are best served around those your age. Going to a family ward as a YSA you will likely be out in primary and become stagnet there for a LONG time.
  14. Oh thank goodness, my anxiety level was shooting through the roof
  15. Or enough to call upon an army of the dead. Im fine with the banning of this “knife”... we don’t need that on the streets.
  16. I can’t say I understand what is going on in your life, but it appears to me that you are being too hard on yourself. Based off your other posts it looks like this is all very recent. Your self diagnosis if this eating disorder seems rash and just another tool you can use to beat yourself up during this hard time. I imagine, given your situation, you are dealing with it the best you can. Don’t prematurely diagnose yourself with things to beat yourself up more.
  17. I’ve heard this to be a rumor for changes this general conference (and this was in a non-April-fools context)
  18. @without_you For someone like me who doesn’t really feel much emotion when the spirit comes, It’s hard sometimes to recognize the difference between the feelings I get while listening to the chorus of “hearts burst into flames” by Bullet for my Valentine and the feeling I get when i listen to “I can only imagine”. So if you are one of those people that never cries when the spirit comes or doesn’t naturally “feel the spirit” when singing hymns in church. I wouldn’t rely on emotions to dictate when the spirit is there. If I did that, I would be blasting Green Day, All That Remains and Avenged Sevenfold every Sunday.
  19. I hope your not making a “holier than thou” statement here.
  20. But no... I have never been able to listen to them. But most smart phones have text speech options.
  21. There is no audio!? Clearly the church is trying to hide that info from blind people.
  22. My brother dated a girl who told him that she heard that Marvin J Ashton would eat Mac n Cheese w/ ketchup. If he can do that than than I can eat pineapple pizza.
  23. Because release time is better. The church is trying to expand release time where it can. My old stake president told stories about they were always extending proposals to the Las Vegas school board to allow release time, but it kept getting shot down. I think release time is the preferred... but just can’t be done everywhere
  24. I had a recently married 35 year old in my ward once and she made the comment “If one of the requirements for divorce was to spend a Sunday in a single adult ward, no one would ever get divorced”
  25. Or we could just cut the crap and conquer Mexico. Then everyone is happy!
