This is my favourite libertarian anarchist not sure if that is still how he describes himself lol this guys knowledge of my country's law is unreal, managed to save a hospital using a 900 year law etc. I listened to most of it couldn't find a swear word, ok yes there is one towards the end so anyone following the liink BEWARE its on the bit where he interviews the arms dealer although this did rather come to mind when I read your post lol

I have six year old who understands she is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I explain it to her that we do things a certain way because we are Latter Day Saints, and other people don't do things the same way because they are not. Helps having none member family the discussion comes in early under tea soaked biscuit:)

I teach my children what values to have, but I also teach them to look for friends that respect their values rather than share them. I know with my friends not a one shares my values but every single one of them would be upset with me if I didn't hold true to mine

My Father in Law knew my husband and I were going to get married before we did, we weren't even dating lol, but then we both had our own revelation on the mater that confirmed his,. Your prospective Father in Law doesn't have that. Have you both had blessings?

Everyone is different but personally I found Maths and physics much easier to follow when I stopped trying to understand the subject and worked at just doing it, I went from being Maths incapable to being able to do astronomy etc.

Actually under Scots law if she felt physically threatened it was assault and its criminal not civil I am aware of the legal situation but as far as I am concerned we do this as least painfully for my daughter as possible, we have moved on so much, and so has she. She was 5 when it happened and has the chance to put this well and truly behind her. It can take upto a year for a case like this to be heard and can invoilve a massive circus.

My religious journey began very early I have always known God exists, I have never had a moment of conversion and only about 5 minutes of doubt on the matter. I have let Him guide me through my life and my investigation of various churches and religions, I knew at 6 I wanted to be baptised by full immersion that desire came from seeing a picture of Jesus being baptised. For me when I met the missionaries what the church taught was unimportant it was where the Lord wanted me and I would learn as I went along, I only had 1 and a half discussion lessons. What converted me completely was when I realized the priesthood achieved things with a prayer that most other religions seem to have to jump through hoops to achieve or simply can't achieve. Latter Day Saints seem to have the most direct and simple route to God, also the continuing revelation element deeply attracts me as a child I often wondered why God had abandoned the Earth.

Personally I have never understood the principle of forcing someone who doesn't believe in God or has no firm testimony and desire to go to church not sure what the point is, I want my children to make it I expect them too, but to me force was Satan's plan. I try to follow Lehi's example on this he seemed to manage to love Laman and Lemuel no matter what they threw at him, they were never rejected.

I'm actually sleeping very well for someone with Fibromyalgia, looking after 3 kids I am so exhausted I sleep for my full 6-8 hours, as I have had 3 weeks of poor sleep though as my kids have been sick had something called slapped cheek syndrome Any prayers or fasting are really welcome. -Charley

its not physical - it involved things like trapping her in a toilet cubicle and telling her how bad she was, humiliating her in class, telling her not to talk to Mummy about it etc. It was a year ago and my daughter is only 6, by the time she really let us have a small idea of what had happened she was also starting move on and recover, my daughter is safe right now, and whilst I have to consider others she comes first and I don't think reopening it for her by making her go to court etc would be helpful to her. This time last year she was having panic attacks that were investigated as seizures they were so severe. Now we don't have them, she is beginning to smile again the little girl I had at 2 is returning. She endured nearly 3 years of this and we had no idea.

nah only allergies I have are to some medications lol just had huge slice of choclate cake it did help a little my prayer was answered my husband's work closed about half an hour earlier and he got a lift home, needs to go out later but it helped. Thanks everyone first time I have felt so down in a long time.

thats much better lol even better than my bathroom I haven't been able to decorate because I dont think we can stay here, not to mention its only 5ft8 by 6ft4 lol

lol chocolate maybe not but a nice hot bubble bath when the kids are in bed may help:)

just maybe these things are left to the members and don't become doctrine because Heavenly Father knows the reason foir abstaining will change clearly with tea and coffee etc its unlikely to evolve in the same way

Pepsi and Coca Cola recipes have changed since the 60s as well:) How things are rated at the cinema has changed. It is now quite acceptable for a woman to leave her bustle and corset behind when she leaves the house and we can show a bit of ankle in our dress without offending anyone:)

Right now my fibromyalgia is worse than its ever been I have no energy, pain is bad its taking me ages to climb the stairs, I am not looking after my family right I need to deal with solicitors etc over my neighbours and I have the issue at church to fight if we are ever to get back. And its branch confernce on Sunday I have already written to the Stake Preiidency to say I cannot sustain the branch president or the primary president . I just want to curl up in a ball right now nothing in my life is working sure I will be alright I have that peace but just not seeing how to get out of the mess I am in

I completely understand where you are coming from, I have never been in an abusive relationshiip, but I am actually getting that its less to do with him and more to do with concern for anyone else caught up with him? My daughter was abused at church, I was told that by informing my local leaders I had done all I can, but its not enough it can happen again to another child especially as the person concerned is the Primary President. I have no anger or hate for her but my heart sinks that she is still teaching primary on her own or with her daughter in a room without glass in the doors and until i have done all I can to prevent another child experiencing it i haven't done enough. I feel the same way about my abusive neighbours it has to be stopped for as many people as possible/

not sure why this is appilcable to arranged marriages rather than just marriage.

Faith builds my testimony because when you know God and believe in Him you recognize His hand in your life more often. I am facing a situation which Heavenly Father gave me which has greatly increased my testimony. If you let God tell you about him and listen He will

was thinking same thing it translates to a UK size 10 so far from dangerous its very close to the ideal weight for her height once upon a time i had that figure. And lots of girls that age are worried about weight

also why assume he is clueless, Did Paul McCartney ever meet George W Bush? For all we know he asked him about the library and he didn't know. Does anyone know if Paul McCartney had ever spoken personally with George W Bush? If he did makes him more clued up than most of us on the board will be. He will almost certainly know people who have. I suspect Paul McCartney could be more clued up than some of the people calling him and idiot If Paul McCartney had met both Obama and Bush, he will have a better idea of personalities and sense of humours and what would have been acceptable to both men than I do. What about others on this thread hands up who Has met both presidents socially or has very close ties to both to know the man behind the image? Because I'm willing to be Paul McCartney has more information on that than most average Americans. I have some insight into McCartney's background I know the history of schools he attended and some of the people he mixed with I know nothing of him now, and I have 0 real knowledge of Bush and Obama, anything I do know comes off news and satire shows

Unn shock everyone the Beatles aren't Latter Day Saints, you know what I never knew that. And certainly THE BEATLES did not all take him that seriously. You quoted John Lennon there they were 4 very distinct very different human beings Whatever I think of someone's beliefs I tend to defend them unless their religion would remove my rights or seriously intentionally harm someone. Not sure a pacifist vegetarian (Paul McCartney) comes in that category, And essentially whether Alistair Crowley was right ot wrong there is actually nothing wrong with John Lennon believing he had agency and he shouldn't use it to harm anyone. As far as I am aware the Beatles had an interest in religions but with the exception of George Harrison none were overtly religious I would hardly argue his view of Hinduism as reflected in his music was harboring satanic thoughts.

Lol Dorave feel the way you do thats fine, I don't have any great affinity for Paul McCartney, I'm not a huge Beatles fan personally prefer the BeeGees and Cliff Richard, but he does come from a very unique culture its not just British he is from Liverpool of the 1950s which is very distinct, he is from the same time and place and culture as my Mother. And my connections are why I understand it was just a joke, you may not because your American fair enough, but I don't feel he should need to apologise for a bit of a quip, that probably no offence was meant with,. Like I say Brigham Young is coming to mind:)

Well not really no its supposed to be the bastion of the free world. Highly doubt the Queen would get so precious over a bit of a quip at a meal or awards ceremony at the palace, she has even allowed herself a smile on occasion. And believe me our satirists have an awful lot more head of states to choose form. \But then the Queen is famous for having a Sense of Humour and Prince Charles took part in footlights at Cambridge and loved the Goons. I am sure for one of his escapades Prince Harry was caught on tape in barracks doing an impression of his Grandmother. I am not sure its any more disrespectful than President Hinckley quipping about Sister Okazaki's rather loud talk in General Conference My Grandfather who Paul McCartney may well have had interaction with growing up, fought so he could make a stupid joke and it really not matter. I personally think free speech and expression something the Beatles have been noted for over a long career, is entirely respectful to the culture they came from with men coming back from war expecting a better world of social justice and greater tolerance. And a right to shoot your mouth off A sense of humour is important and if a leader can't laugh at himself or let a small quip based on a caricature float over their head, wouldn't want them representing me on the world scale in tough negotiations. We have just had 2 Prime Ministers who took themselves too seriously its nice to see a new one tha recognises he is human. Also there is a different perception of what a leader is mostly for us the prime-minister is a representative as much as a leader he there to represent us. And whereas Bush was required to run and hide during 9/11, we would have been horrified had our leaders done that, the Royal Family had great respect for staying in the UK during WW2 and when 7/7 happened we expected our leaders to be doing just that not protecting their own backsides. Its not as if he urinated in the oval office or stole an ash tray he made a brief quip. A certain Brigham Young keeps coming to mind in this thread anyone guess which one?
