Not being snotty or disrespectful, but I've been told that "a lot of people move down here and stop going to church" from various people in my ward.

I do it as well (ignore people) and I'm SURE people ignore me too- so take what I say with a huge grain of salt: It should only be done if the two of you have tried talking behind the scenes and it still doesn't work out. If you've tried to resolve it via private message and you still don't get along, then ignore them. You owe at least that much to the other person, just to try. And keep the lines of communication semi open for awhile. Just my thoughts. Edited July 25, 2017 by MormonGator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Folk Prophet Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Like the time @MormonGator pm'd me, and I asked him to keep it public so we had moderation and it would stay civil. That went over great. We're besties now. zil, eddified and person0 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirkwood Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 3 hours ago, Vort said: I was born in 1963. I am proud of this fact. I think it marks me as a person of more-than-normal intelligence and moral virtue. I classify myself as a 1963er, and I tend to look askance at those inferiors born outside the appointed year. Now, I admit that many of those born before 1963 have some virtues. They might even be admirable. There is certainly honor in being born in, say, 1956. But those born in, for example, 1972 are just slackers. And don't even get me started on the 1981ers. Pathetic. SilentOne and Vort 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirkwood Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, zil said: That. I hear these complaints all the time and yet I have never experienced nor witnessed Sister A telling Brother B he's sinning if he watches R-rated movies / drinks caffeine. Nor have I witnessed Brother B telling Sister A that bikini she wore on Saturday was sinful. Never. Not once. So where are all these people? What I have heard are talks and lessons repeating counsel from prophets and apostles, supported by scripture, admonishing the saints to refrain from immodesty, harmful substances, and forms of entertainment which do not reflect church standards. Now if someone takes such talks and lessons as a personal affront and uses them as an excuse to leave the Church, well, they're choosing to turn their backs on the counsel of God - they're not leaving because someone has exercised unrighteous judgement against them, they're leaving because they don't want to be told their pet habit / entertainment / attire is against the counsel given to us by prophets of God. And if that's a valid reason to stop giving talks admonishing better choices, then we should stop giving talks at all, and we can all just stay home and watch sports on the sabbath. I've heard the caffeine statements, but not the others. I personally experienced the, "you can't carry a gun in church" stupidity, but I resolved that myself.

That got a bishop complaint for my "inappropriate music choices"! (just in case your are wondering, I have repented and cleaned up my music choices since) Wonderful news!
