  1. i have only posted a few time myself....but i read all that i can...i am lds but feel like i am not in the same league with most of the people here...i am a convert, only 5 years and i have a lot i need to learn so i enjoy coming here and reading what everybody else has posted...
  2. i asked for links so i could gain more knowledge of missions, missionarys, etc.. for my own personal knowledge.... i have let the situation with the bishop go....everyone else seems to know so much, not just here but in my church also so i wanted to do some research and learn all i can about all aspects of the church but just asked in here about that pertaining to mission and missionary work....i really wanted to know where at all i could go for more info, not just websites...and suggested literature that anybody suggests or vidoes, anything.. as i said, the info i was asking about is not to add anything to the situation but for my own personal desire to learn as i have stated before i am a fairly new convert and dont know of all the resources available.... i am not pursuing the situation with the bishop, i was just curious as it made me confused.... yes she should be doing those things, which is why i am not.....
  3. yes the facts i have stated are all that there is.... i have struggled myself with why the bishop said that.... i know very little about missions... any good links to some websites where i can learn more??
  4. snow, thank you for your last post.
  5. ok once again i say thanks to those who have tried to help me.... yes i know he did... i did say thanks before for all the advice, INCLUDING that one from snow.... ok thanks for explaining, as i said call me stupid....i am grand-MA! i have explained the situation snow, how much more info do you need? i myself value very much what my bishop says so when this happened i was confused and thats why i am seeking input from others who know more about the church than i do.... as i said snow, i did explain the situation, what i didnt say is that i a female, 40 years old and a member of the church for 3 years now....i did say i was a convert. i was baptised on christmas day 2001.....being new to the church is one of the main reasons i am seeking further knowledge of the church and its views and beliefs....if you have more info you would like from me by all means let me know... i have nothing to hide , i will tell you what you what to know.. i was just hoping to get some info about the situation and as to what the church views are about this... is this how the church feels? or just my bishop? just so everyone knows...i once again state that i love my bishop and i for one dont agree that he is whacko...sure i may be JUST a woman with a computer(but i have the desire to learn all i can about the church) and he is the bishop, but thats why i am here, to find out more... thats all not sure what you mean by something fishy going on... what i told you is what is happening... thats it, nothing more, nothing less... he has only been in that position for less than 6 months now this was my point to begin with... thats what i wanted to know.... can it be possible for someone in a situation to be judged because of family members actions? shouldnt it be their own actions that they should be held accountable for? shouldnt that be how they are seen to be "worthy" or not?? thanks again for all the input!
  6. snow, i did not get bent out of shape because somebody answered my question... i have been asking for their opinions, so why would i get like that? i appreciate all the SERIOUS help and comments.... teasing is fine as long as its done in an appropriate manner....but thats ok, i have seen your posts before, i will take SF's advice and not let it get to me... just looking for some help with the bishops comments, thats all i am doing.... only thing is, i just dont get your"Regard to your aunt. " comment...call me stupid, oh well
  7. thanks, thats what i was thinking....
  8. ok thanks again for your input but this isnt about me...here is the whole story.... i have a son who is 22 his girlfriend and family are church members... though the girlfriend stopped attending regularily my son was never a member of the church, i am a convert, he chose not to join problem is my son and GF now have a son who is 8 months and they are not married they were up until sept living with the GF's mom and sister the sister is the one who wants to go on a mission the BISHOP said that because my son and GF werent married, have a child and were living with her mom and sister that it wasnt possible for the holy ghost to be present in the household, therefore makig the sister not "worthy" so it looks like no mission for her.... now the question i had was this...isnt everyone responsible for themselves? why should something someone in your house does affect you in that way? as long as the sister isnt having premarital sex or living with her boyfriend? am i wrong with the way i am thinking? sorry to be such a pain about this but i just needed answers and dont know where else to turn... where, besides the bishop that is.... thanks!
  9. I think you have just had a "SnowJob" and I am sorry. Really, don't let Snow's comment drive you away...you should not give him that power. thanks SF.. i have moved on...this is an important subject to me so i am looking for answers.. thanks for the help!
  10. well i was just reading another thread where it angered me that some people here, i didnt say all, i said some people could be such jerks and it proved itself right here in this one as well... for one...i had a serious question that i thought someone here could help with(seems i might have been wrong maybe).... i normally dont post much but i do read alot... i am always looking for more info about the religion and having input from others is great, except when they say stupid stuff like the last post.... i wasnt asking because it is myself that is wanting to go on a mission, as stated i know someone else who does.....so saying something stupid because of my chosen user name is just that, stupid.....why go there?? its really none of your business... i asked for mission information..... i appreciate the serious people who have tried to help and would appreciate more help.... if anyone thinks they can help me , PM me and i will give you the rest of the story.... seems like i cant do that here, i might be judged again! thanks to those who have taken me serious and treated me serious..... P.S.. for the record, its AIKEN!! no S!! not being a fan doesnt give you the right to say things about someone else like you did.... thats it, im done...
  11. i would go to the bishop but he is the one i am questioning here...so i dont know where else to go....
  12. i am looking for a few answers regarding those who go on missions and what needs to be done in order for you to go, or even prevent you from going...isnt it what a person does personally that makes them worthy to go on a mission, just as it is for temples? would something someone in your family or house did prevent you from being able to go on a mission? i have more specifics regarding a certain person i know if someone could help me out here i would apppreciate it!
