Yup. There's also a ton of other stuff humans do that are sins as well. It's why Jesus had to die for us. I think we are quite lucky that God doesn't strike us dead when we do sin.

Yes but most of them were on sandwiches, which is not part of the "thing". It must be the cheese slice standing alone eaten by itself for it to work. Now if somebody were to dip the cheese slice into mayo and eat it like that, that would be gross for sure. I'll try that.

Mmmmm, Katie! Oh sorry, just thinking of my girlfriend.

Don't they still use Kool-aid and Jell-O for the Sacrament in the temple?

I don't have a spouce, but I have a very special girlfriend. She is mentally challenged, and has significant difficulties with certain tasks. However, in her I sense a strong spirit. She comes from a long line of social workers, and she too has a special ability as it seems for nurtering. If she had not incurred any brain damage when she was born, she would have followed in her mother's footsteps for sure. She is quite a silly person, and she makes me laugh. She is quite loveable, and it's like being with a little child, yet with some adult attributes. I know that sounds gross, especially when I am romantically interested in her, but it's that inate child like quality, like humility, that gives her that character that I really enjoy being with. Most other mentally challenged people I know have a tendancy to be quite self centred. Well that's normal considering they all have the intellectual capacity of a 5 year old. Well as any parent could attest to, some kids are self centred brats, and some are kind hearted and sweet and nurtering. With my girlfriend, that side of her was fortunatly not taken out like I think happens with so many people. What touched me the most lately, is that I found that she has been helping a friend of hers for several years. The boy cannot talk, and I think has some severe autistic tendancies(like the "potato bums"). My girlfriend has helped him out since they were in grade six. She has also looked after other kids in her class(all of them have special needs). To put in blunt, I find women who like social work to be quite attractive. I suppose it goes with my desire to be a father. I have to be careful because society may not be comforatable with our relationship(she is also alot younger than me as well). I also have to make sure I don't tempt myself too much arround her.

That's it! Now I HAVE to get a Temple Reccommend!

Anti-mormons don't exist where I live. Then again, neither do morals.

You know some days I wish I was addicted to porn. At least then it would be easier to explain to the Bishop why I'm not worthy.

Relax guys, I don't have porn on the brain. I stay away from that stuff like it's the plauge. I just have a mind that is in the gutter, that's all.

New converts need to be treated with the same respect that lifelong members teach each other(okay maybe they deserve better than THAT). Since converts are adopting the Church as their own, that means they become full fledged family members that shouldn't be caste by ordinances, priesthood, or temple worthiness. While the couple who were married in the temple lay claim to some very special blessings, that shouldn't mean they deserve to be treated with more respect than a couple who were married first then joined, or for the spouce of a person who did not decide to convert and hence cannot obtain temple blessings. If there is one mistake I regret about my early years in church, was that I did not take the calling of Hymnbook Monitor seriously enough. I guess I didn't feel it was very important, and that it was just a "make work" job. I struggle with laziness though, so I know I will be accountable for my snobbery. I hope God can forgive me for this. One thing I am very grateful for was that two families were there for me during my early years as a member. They still are too, although in less frequency. I've even worked with one guy to help him on some construction projects. Of course every new member needs a good member family to help them out. Also I think generally speaking, the congregation should have a forgiving heart if somebody does somthing not in line with Ward Customs, like help himself to the Sacrament while passing it rather than waiting to be given it(BIG oops there). Persons like myself who are not used to structured social settings may not quite get it at first.

Sounds like the uncompressed name sounds like "porn LDS Farms" Correct me if I'm right.

The Church is trueee... the Church is trueee... You are getting very sleepy, verrry sleepy! Okay sorry that was just silly of me. The funny thing about my testimony is that it somewhat revolves arround finding an old song from my childhood while investigating the Church. Not only did I find the MP3, but I found the original casette, which to me shows that God can make hidden things come to light. Crazy yes, but it meant alot to me. This shows that God can and will give us gifts and blessings even before we get the Holy Ghost if we sincerely seek after Him. Maybe not for everybody, but it did for me and I am grateful to recieve it.

So I can make jokes like "How many people over at CARM does it take to screw in a light bulb?" None, because the the light burrrns!

You know I have a question. Is it okay to engage in light hearted discussion about certain groups and websites that in the past have painted us in negetive light? In other words, can we make fun of the people at CARM if the need to do arises, or are we generally supposed to be good people all arround?
