  1. my very own forum???? im flattered. that sucked. thanks.
  2. well, i survived the dinner. sheesh.
  3. I'm not going anymore. I have to pay for a new catalytic converter for my car and i dont have the money. So whoever was hesitating to go because they heard i was going..dont need to worry any more. have fun.
  4. yo im from PA melissar. It's possible!!! Im sorry you cant be there Ben, I was hoping you could be.
  5. I am very excited to meet you all. This whole "Utah" idea isnt overly appealing and i find it odd that so many people that i find to be decent individuals actually allow themselves to live there. But anywho, im gonna be there and im interested to see and meet some of you face to face. It should prove to be an experience.
  6. yeah. Its been a couple months now since i first posted this forum. I suppose a lot of what you're all saying does make sense. Men are men..and human. i just gotta give it time and have more faith. Which is something im prepared to do. PS: how do you figure im a dependent person Margin?
  7. no, i havnt had the chance to speak with him yet. im kinda givin up. i dont care that much anymore. i guess if i happen to run into the patriarch at some stake event, ill talk to him. But im not going out of my way.
  8. Ya know, maybe i really am just a lost young soul. Im in no way humble enough. In no way experienced enough to question the Lord. The similarities between the blessings of my brothers and mine, perhaps some of you are right in what you're saying. Perhaps i just need to get over myself. And whoever it was that said i need to feel like an "individual" or whatever you said...maybe thats all this is. I need to just suck up all of the questions i have in my heart and start having more faith. I dont understand things at all right now, but maybe one day it will all be more clear to me. And yes, as i said before, i plan on asking the patriarch about it. Though i still feel it wont give me any answers, its still worth talking to him. Maybe one day ill get over my own pride and decide to kneel down and pray for myself. IM not going to ask for a blessing of comfort. Thats stupid. IM not spiritually prepared for that. I dont want one. Elgama, dont tell me i have low self confidence.
  9. yeah my brother dont know i read his blessing. and he's never read my blessing. i dont want to be close to my brother. hes a loser. we spent enough time close as kids. time to break apart.
  10. Tom, explain to me straight up, why it is that you think i shouldnt have gotten my patriarchal blessing. now that i think of it more, it was actually a great idea that i got my patriarchal blessing when i did. I received it at the exact right time. I actually held it close to me and let it guide me for a short period following receiving it. it wasnt until just now, that i question that the strength i received from it....that the "strength" really was all just in my head. just a mind game. it wasnt the blessing, it was just me.
  11. your children let you read their blessings? My brother received his blessing in october -03. i received mine July '07. same patriarch.
  12. i really think thats an excellent idea. I just found this all out today. Today was the first time i had ever read my brothers patriarchal blessing. THe next time i see our stake patriarch, i will certainly talk to him. Of course he'll probably give me some sort of answer like "its what the lord inspired me to say, who am i to question" but i dont really know. i guess ill just have to ask him. I still tend to think ill be let down by his reply. i really think i need to find out the answer within myself. and with this supposed god that inspired the blessing to begin with. like yall keep sayin, the patriarch is but a man. imperfect
  13. excuse me? is there any way i can delete people from posting on my thread? lol too early to get my patriarchal blessing huh? I think not Trust me...TOM, i think very much about how i impact those who read what i write. I appreciate your concern. I appreciate your advice. i dont criticize the way you post (until just now) so dont do it to me either.
