I told President Eyering a joke once at a stake conference. "What department store do prophets shop at? Seers!"

I shouldn't have looked in on this thread. Now I'm hungry again, and I need to go shopping and we just had a big snowstorm. Also I really need some Red Lobster right about now. Olive Gardens don't exist in Canada anymore. Not that I've ever eaten there or anything.

I've been on another website. Still at MADB, but I swear everybody there ignores me. In fact I've been feeling rather ignored lately just about anywhere.

So um, hi. Not really much else to say right now.

I had a bad experence in a Mormon chatroom before. Only if people I know from MADB are there will I go on.

I've had the privlage to be in the company of several people with Down's Syndrome, and others with some serious intellectual disabilities. My girlfriend almost died as a baby, and she had suffered permenent brain damage as a result. I can sense the sweetness in her soul, even though it is often masked by the child-like temperment that sometimes leads to some difficulties. What she lacks in raw brain power, she makes up for it in the kind of intellegence that one recieves from God. Her compassion is unique compared to others in her position. In fact, many people in her shoes often struggle with carnal desires and even poor parenting, which coupled with a predisposition for others to treat them like children, can tempt them down paths that not even their innocense can withstand. My girlfriend was almost lead to hell by a very bad person who's lack of understanding of the procreation system(he just said she was having his baby and she freaked out) kind of makes me sick. But anyway, yes parents are truely blessed for being given stewardship over a disabled child. Remember that while they may not know what it's like to live a normal life, their own life will be filled with adventure that only they, and the ones they love, can go down. In fact normal lives are way overrated anyway. I mean, so what if they like Barney for a few more years while most children will start to conspire to destroy him? The hardest challenge is convincing others that the child is worth the effort, and is more than just a disability. I speak not as a parent, but as one who has wittnessed first hand nevertheless, the power of God within these blessed souls.

Blessings in disguise? I'd say the Patriarch has been watching a little too much Transformers. Well as long as any of those blessings don't turn into Megatron or Starscream(as cool as that would sound(wave).

You know I read the entire thread and I don't think anybody mentioned not being allowed to eat dairy products.

Must....post...somthing...inapproprate....and...unwholesome....

Okay, am I missing somthing here? I thought it was okay to have inside jokes. Yeah I am suspending my selse of humor for a moment because I am scared to death of the red text. The joke is, mods, is that both MorningStar and myself hate mayo, so we joke about it. If MorningStar is honestly getting sick from this, then I'm stopping. Of course in some Other circles, teasing one another is a sign of affection or friendship. But if it's only going one way then... Oh and I guess I should apologize for the temple remark. I think I forget sometimes how holy it is. I've never been so I guess I haven't been able to appreciate it fully. I must keep my blasphamous remarks to myself. I am NOT a very good Mormon. It's OK. Moderators like to joke too.

Flood the Temple? Are we talking about spamming ordiances here? Sorry, I just wanted to say "spamming" in a temple related thread.

It could have been worse. It could have been chocolate covered mayonnaise, or mayonnaise covered coffee beans. If I became the prophet, I would make mayo against the WOW and take everybody's temple recommend for indulging in that forbidden spread. I would also mount anti-aircraft missiles on the Salt Lake Temple. Jigglysaint, We moderators (in our benevolent omniscience) know all about you and Zakuska persecuting hapless Morningstar and others with numerous references to mayonnaise and other evil products of designing Frenchmen. Since this board is for amicable discussion (and sending someone racing to the bathroom to throw up is not considered amicable in Mormon circles) we will ask you to refrain from doing so here, as well. Tempt ye not our mighty wrath- lest ye be sentenced to make your tuna fish sandwiches with lowly Miracle Whip for all eternity. Seriously, though- play nice with the mayo references.

I busted my girlfriend yesterday for wearing a revealing outfit that exposed more than I cared to see. Heheheh, I said "bust"!

Nobody made our spirits. Well not quite. We started off as intelligence. Heavenly Father organized us into proper spiritual entities. I don't think physical sex was how it happened. However I bet the feeling that occured when each of us were made into being was just about as wonderful as it could be. However there hasn't really been any explanation about the creation of spirits in terms of how it actually happens. One day a few of us will know, and will have the chance to organize our own spirit children.

Baptists are cool. In fact if I had not become LDS, I think Baptist would have been my second choice. I realize that in general they may tend to have a chip on their shoulder about LDS related stuff, but I believe that no matter what anybody believes about anything, the true answer is love. I joined a Christian fellowship at a school soon after my baptism, and I was open about my beliefs to the Southern Baptist who rant the group. At times we didn't agree, but neither one of us gave in to contention. He had a very special spirit about him, and he made my and my friend welcome. I recognize the need to protect the flock against any dangers. Lies are certainly not the way to go. I have far more respect for a man who studied the Book of Mormon and concluded it was false, than for a person who blindly trusts in other's opinions without even a desire to verify.
