Sorry I didn't know....

My Fiancée is pregnant.... She belongs to a different church (Pentecostal) and isn't interested in joining our church. She thinks we are too prideful and that makes it so she feels as though we are not Christ like. I have been praying for guidance but I have no answer. I do not like asking for anything for myself, but I need to know what to do. I am afraid I am going to screw up the relationship somehow. I love her very much and do not want to upset her. I just want her to be happy and healthy spiritually. I have not been a good example to anyone and have not gone to church in a long time. I have not been paying my tithing either due to my poor finances. I am starting to doubt that Heavenly father will answer my prayers any more. I have disappointed my bishop and feel ashamed too. I just need to know how to raise a child in a two different religion home. I am happy that we are having a baby just scared......

Thak you everyone..... I will try to keep all of this in mind.

Hope everyone has fun.... :)

My daughter, who is 12, (I baptized after she turned eight) has not been going to church since I seperated from her mother and she has been going to a youth group at the local Baptist church. She says that it is because she has no friends at the branch (which is a very small branch). My son, who is 16, has not been going to to church either. I live in Montana and they live in Wisconsin. What I want to know is what should I do to help them....? Do they need help.....? Is there anything I can do? They don't seem to have any interest in going at this time My son has gone with me when I was up in June... I know I am not the best example by not going myself (that is a long story that they don't know about yet)..... I just don't want my daughter growing up to hate me or my faith due to hers..... The Baptist in the area they live in are very anti LDS. Sigh I jut wish i knew what I should do. I feel so helpless. Sorry for the rambling.....

That's cool I suppose I could look for my copy and watch it again. although I have it on DVD I really enjoy that movie

Wow VHS. where did you find it on VHS?

I haven't seen that movie in a long time.

Thanks for the advice. I am starting to feel better now. I think that listening to David Bowie's music seems to help LOL...

I work the Night shift (2330 - 0800 or 11:30 PM to 8:00AM) so I have to sleep a lot during the day, I forgot to mention that. I work better on that shift compared to the other ones, although I have to work a 1530 - 2400 (3:30 PM to 12:00AM) shift two times a week. I enjoy my work, but I am having a lot of diffaculty doing things that are enjoyable at home.......

I have been off the Ativan for about a week now, but this whole thing was started before I started to take myself off of it. I have been praying for a long time now and I haven't felt much better. I feel as though I am not worthy to receive any additional help from Heavenly Father. I feel like...... The anxiety is better I should have only been taking it when i needed it anyway. I was also on the lowest dose. I am just a little sensitive to the medication I guess. I know about Benadryl, Melatonin, and Visteril. They knock me out just as bad. The Melatonin gives me bad dreams. I just wish it would go away. I have had headaches for a long time now. I wish that they would go away too. That may be becasue of my CPAP machine not working right, or my back. Sorry for the randomness and the lack of sense. I just want it to go away and I want to be normal......?????

I have to add that prayer isn't helping me anymore.....

The Ativan was just making me sleep to hard and I had ben on it too long. I don't think that is why everything has gone to pots though. I get down when I am not able to provide financially for the people I love.... This time it is worse then ever. I have been on meds for a long time now.....

The Ataivan is for anxiety and can be addictive so I stopped taking it.

I feel as though my life is spinning out of control and I cannot stop it. My finances are messed up. I am being sued by my former bank for a checking account that went into collections, I’m living pay check to paycheck and not making enough to pay any most of my bills let alone my tithing, my student loans are coming up soon and I do not have anything to show for it. I feel as though I am losing any intelligence that I ever had. My girlfriend wants me to move in with her so that I can save money, which I am going to do but it is with her mother and father. I know that I will be living in sin but I want to marry her soon. I just wish that I could get some kind of control. I don't know if I can do anything right anymore. I cannot even think straight sometimes. My head hurts and I am not sleeping well. I wake up more tired than when I went to bed. I feel as though I am a failure. I wish that I could just end it all. I am on medication for all of this and up until a month ago I have been fine. The only thing that has changed is that I am not working all three jobs and I stopped taking my Ativan.

I used to be picked on by Native Americans becasue I was white and in their school...

My fiancé who isn't a member says that we sound boastful when we say that we are the tru church. She thinks that we sound like are not true because of this. I need some help explaining to here that we are not trying to be boastful. Thanks.

Thank you all for your advice. I keep her on Facebook because it is the only way to get recent pictures of my daughter. She doesn't email them to me. The only thing about the divorce is that I live in Montana now and she lives in Wisconsin, so where do I file the divorce papers?

Long story short, I met, I married (for 11 and half years) I left due to her emotional abuse and because she didn't seem interested in going to church. Soon after I left I was hanging out with an old friend from high school. This is after we decided to get the divorce, mainly because I moved out of state and use of porn. After I moved I fell inactive and didn't necessarily hide from the church but I never requested my records to be sent and I know my wife didn’t tell them where I was, but they found me and I started to become active again. I want a temple marriage and all the joys that come with one, so when I talked about it with her she said that she never wanted to have anything to do with the church and she wants to go out drinking and bar hopping. I said that I want to have the divorce filed but she refuses and now she has a new boyfriend living with her. Since he moved in she has been rude to me and will sometimes interrupt my conversations with my daughter. I cannot afford an attorney or the filing fees myself. I feel as though she is playing a game with me. She post daily on Facebook that she loves her new boyfriend and that he is the best thing that has happened to her. I feel discouraged and want to get it all over with. I also want to find an eternal compainion… Sorry for the disjointed story.... I just need help...

Thats what I thought.

I know kind of what it means and why we say it. My question is if we are listening to someone give a talk or bear their testimony on the TV or radio (ie: General Conference) do we have to say Amen? Do we have to say Amen even if it is recorded and are listening to it again? (I do love to listen to General Conference). Just wondering. I don’t want to be weird at work saying Amen every five to fifteen minutes. LOL. If there are any answeres out there.. LOL

I have often wondered why Heavenly Father would use the words be fruitful and REPLENISH the earth. Was the earth previously inhabited? If so by whom or what? Just wondering...

I am very sorry for your loss and I will pray for you and your family. For the past IDK few months I have had those feelings of suicide. I have wanted to take my own life. I do understand where you are coming from and possibly how your brother felt when it happened. It is a horrible place to live when your thoughts are almost always suicidal. Continue to have faith in Heavenly Father and pray for the peace you need.
