  1. I haven't done that in a long time. I might need to do that.
  2. That song is a classic! I still have their CD and listen to it every now and then.
  3. What is a good place to meet other members of the church? I must admit that most of my friends aren't LDS or very religious people and they do things that aren't appropriate by LDS standards and they invite me to join them. Just by attending church activities and services? Any other ideas? It's hard to stay active when most of your friends aren't LDS. Sometimes it's easier to go with the crowd than against it.
  4. Truly, madly, deeply by Savage Garden. I'm not a girl but that song is very romantic and i like it a lot.
  5. I really enjoyed reading this story (Forgiveness by President Gordon B. Hinckley), thanks TomK!
  6. That's a good read.(The Healing Power of Forgiveness)
  7. Thank you for sharing that, that's quite impressive. That father had character!
  8. Thank you all again. I was very active in the church before this person did me wrong. I have regular therapy sessions and even take antidepressants. I just wish to wake up one day and having an entire day without having this intrusive memory haunt me. I have to admit that it's very hard. I have revenge, vengeance on my mind. I just hope that I don't act on those negative emotions. I know I won't but sometimes I just want to pray to God and ask Him if he could get even for me which is also not good.
  9. I like that quote a lot, thanks for that!
  10. Thank you all for your kind words. It sounds crazy to me to pray for that particular person. It doesn't make sense at all to me but that's what the Gospel recommends. :)

    My Home Team

    I love NFL football and college football, therefore I love the Falcons and Georgia Bulldogs. I don't like baseball at all so one way or the other I don't care about the Atlanta Braves. I like to play basketball but don't enjoy watching people play it so i don't care about the Hawks. I like soccer but the soccer league that I like isn't American.
  12. For several past months, I've had this unhealthy obsession with a person who did me wrong. It occupies most of my time. I wish I could delete this painful memory. Forgiving someone who has done you wrong ought to be the hardest thing to accomplish, at least for me it is. I'm looking for tips, what do you fellas do when you are hurt by someone who has done you wrong and can't seem to let go? What tips does God offer?
  13. You know, my bishop told me the same exact thing. Thank you for your kind words.

    BYU Fans

    I'm LDS but not a BYU fan, my team is the Georgia Bullbogs.
  15. Thank you.
  16. Is this normal? I feel neglected. My family hasn't been there for me when I most needed them-so I feel. They have disappointed me. However, this is why I think I need God. Is this a good reason to seek God? Or do I need to seek help elsewhere?
  17. I don't have any questions but I must say that Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is a great fighter. I'm a boxing fanatic, I've recently seen Manny's last two fights. I especially liked his last fight with Diaz. Pacquiao won the WBC lightweight title.
  18. I want to download the BOM audiobook into my iPod. The iTunes has it for free. So does the official LDS site. What site(s) is it best to download the BOM w/o getting a virus on my PC? I don't care if I have to pay--I'd rather pay to keep viruses off my PC.
  19. True.
  20. Someone from this site posted a comment on Mr.Hafter's site quoting these exact words. I didn't mean to offend anyone, didn't think that anyone was going to take it too personally--it's a forum.
  21. I'm so very sorry, but I have to post this: "To say that women love jerks is a whiny excuse Nice Guys use to explain why they're not getting laid." "...boring Nice Guys who obey all the rules" and get walked on by (non-worthwhile) women." Said by David N. Hafter in his book. Growing Balls Blog Archive Reviews of Growing Balls
  22. When I made that reply when I said looks, it meant, to be a perfect 10. When I said money, I really meant incredibly wealthy. Anyhow, people never fall in love downwardly, but upwardly or someone who they think is their equal.
  23. Nice guys can sometimes be too passive. I've learned that girls in general like men who are confident. You just got to be yourself, & know how to be a good flirt, seriously. A quote comes to mind: "Women are made to be loved not understood." - Oscar Wilde Women, I've learned(and I can't speak for all women) don't care about looks or money.
