  5. What Happened to RooTheMormon??

    in General Discussion

    Hi guys its RooTheMormon.

    I was just coming on to kinda seek advice and maybe just updare in a way?

    You may have noticed I havent been very active lately. This is due to some issues I have been having with the site. Whenever I try to post to a topic, my browser will completely collaspe onto the home screen of my phone. But that doesnt happen when I am starting a topic. Confusing right?

    I am able to post to a topic though if I hurry really fast before it closes, which is really frustrating, especially considering I usually have a lot to say! ;)

    I have already contacted @pam so I can hopefully get things figured out and back on track.

    Weird thing is it only recently started, the site never gave me any issues before.

    Has anyone else had this struggle?

    Anyways thats all.

    Ps. @anatess2 It wouldnt let me reply to you on the garments post. Just fyi I am a female.

    The Ten Commandments of Thug Mormon Culture

     8. Thou shalt open your eyes during prayers at church because the kid in the next row is making goo-goo faces at you.

    I was actually told by my bishop that prayers have nothing to do with closing your eyes. The only things we really need to do when praying is 

    ·Bow our heads (out of respect)

    ·Open with Dear Heavenly Father

    ·Close with In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

    He told us youth that the closing your eyes is so little kids can concentrate better, and the folding of arms is so they arent fiddling during prayer.

    As long as you are being disrespectful, it is totally OK not to close your eyes.

  11. Noticing Acts of Service Tag

    SO MANY ACTS OF SERVICE, AND ONLY A TEENY, tiny PERCENT!

    LEARNING TO APPRECIATE THE ACTS OF KINDNESS AROUND US HELPS US TO SHOW KINDNESS TOWARD OTHERS. AS WE STRIVE TO BE LIKE JESUS, WE MUST BE KIND AND SERVE ONE ANOTHER!!

    Showing others acts of service can not only help someone else, but it is the best form of self help!! It shows you that YOU can make a difference, and NO act of service is small.

    "Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, For these are the things Jesus taught… Im trying to love my neighbor; I'm learning to serve my friends…"

    I thought that this song that every primary student is taught, perfectly states why we need to do acts of service. As we try to be like Jesus, we follow His example. Jesus was kind to EVERYONE, and always but others before himself. He died for us!! We must show that love toward everyone that He showed for us.

    Thank you all for sharing your stories! They are all so beautiful, and I see the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus reflected in every single one of them. Thanks again!

  16. Modest Clothing Is SO Hard to Find!!

    Hey!

    Just curious if anyone knows any good places to shop for modest clothing for juniors and older girls. (Preferably on the cheaper side) I am looking for shirts, shorts, skirts, and dresses (for church and for casual wear).

    It is becoming harder and harder to find modest clothes, even in Utah!

    Any suggestions?:help:

  17. Do I Have a Place in God's Kingdom?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    A couple weeks ago, I was hanging out with the YW in my ward. One girl is not a member of the church, but of course, we always welcome her to come to YW's with us. One of the girls had (accidentally, although it could have been easily prevented) damaged church property. She showed us where it was and was asking us for advice on what to do. Me, being the sarcastic person I am, told her that she had lost most of her brownie points in heaven. We all got a good laugh out of that, until the non-lds girl spoke up, telling me that she had no place in God's kingdom. It took me a moment to register what she had just said. I have always felt apart of God's kingdom, so I wasnt sure what to say to her. I reasurred her by teeling her not to be silly- of course you have a place in God's kingdom! Our Heavenly Father loves all his children, and that means you too.

    But as time passes, I ponder on how I can help to make her feel apart of God's kingdom. Do I help teach her about mormon doctrine? Do I pray for her? Do I teach her how to pray? Do I share my testimony with her?

    Neither of us can attend church due to our parents, so how can I help her?

    :help:

    I'd like to tag @RooTheMormon because although she started this thread, she hasnt shared an act of service!!

    :eek:

    True true.

    Well I see acts of service everyday so its hard to choose just one.

    My parents do acts of service everyday to raise me and my family, and they make so many sacrafices for us!

    Anyways, one specific act of service that really stood out to me is this: This year at girl's camp a girl who was new to neighborhood was invited to come to camp. She isnt a member of the church and neither is her family. Anyways when we got to camp she was having a really hard time being away from her family, and she felt that she didnt fit in amongst the other LDS girls. One of our wilees (an awesome, funny, kind, and all around great one) took her in under her wing and even invited to let her stay in yhe wilee tent with her. The rest of camp the girl had  great time!

    I just see these simple acts of service that can really affect someone. I know that Heavenly Father wants us to show our love to him by showing love to others. 

    Thanks for tagging me @TheCraCraMormon

    I think I've tagged quite the amount of people, no?

    Here, instead of tagging people I'll challenge everyone who has already shared an act of service to share another!

  24. An LDS Vegetarian/Vegan???

    Dear @RooTheMormon,

    i see a nutritionist. She asks me to have 25 grams of protein for each meal. I have to plan my meals. It is time consuming and a pain in the neck. So think of a 5 day mealplan with 25 grams of protein per meal. Without meat? Not easy.

    25 grams of protein = .5 cups lentils, 1/2 cup peanut butter. 2 eggs. So that's 3 meals. Now what? Ming beans, kidney beans?

     I have a sister who is a vegetarian no fish but eggs. She does not get enough protein and..she has developed a hunch back

     For special diets there is a lot of fuss:plan meals, shop for meals, cook, and store food. That's a lot of time in the kitchen, space in cupboards, and the freezer. I have a special diet and I find it tedious and time consuming  and expensive. I do some food prep thing every single day. 

     

    Well, good thing I like all of those things!

    Im not going to be on a strict vegetarian diet, just when I have the option!
