Wow I get the same headache reading those scriptures as I do from Mormon scriptures.
I know, right? I have to read it super slow to make sure I catch everything. And if you think reading is slow, you should try writing it. lol

And yes, we should totes do lunch.

Re: And it came to pass...

And it came to pass that the two headed alien from the far away eastern shore wast in the land of the flaming bird. But lo, he was not known to the party seeking the bitter drink. He did not meet with them and was greatly saddened on the marrow when he doth learn of his loss. Dang! I was in Phoenix...

Re: And it came to pass...

So, Red Ryder, Beetbox, Corsair and I all headed up from the East Valley to a German brewery/restaurant in North Phoenix last night. Thank you to Corsair for being our DD. We got to watch ASU beat down on UCLA while drinking German beer on the eve of General Conference. Just three years ago on this ...

Re: You are not welcome

As I sit at my keyboard this morning, my family, my brother, my parents, and three of my children are gathering outside the temple to celebrate the wedding of my brother to his new wife; did I make the right decision? Am I just being petty? Why didn't I just fake another TR interview? Why didn't I j...

In my experience, no-one will dare to mention you're absence, but if they do, make sure to tell them: "I wasn't invited." The stunned silence you will receive is deafening.
I like that. It's the truth. I was not invited.

You are not welcome

After watching seven younger siblings all get married in the temple, my youngest brother is finally getting married. And for the first time, with no TR, I am not welcome to see my brother be married. I talked to my brother a few months ago and gently suggested he consider doing a civil ceremony firs...

How to find a new identity?

How have any of you dealt with the feeling of no longer belonging to a group? I miss it. I've been making lots of new friends, but all of my friends are really different kinds of people. And I'm not saying that is bad. I'm just saying it's different. When I went to church, all of my friends were lik...

Re: It's been a while. What next

To add: Just my experience, but when they ask specific questions like, "When is your son going to be baptized? We want to make sure to attend"....... etc., just give a very nondescript response like, "We'll be sure to keep in touch", and so forth. Ya, I've been thinking of this too. It just... It j...

I may be the minority on this, but I still see no reason extended family needs to be told.
Did you ever have a situation where your mother called you and asked, "Oh, little Jeffret is trying 8 next month. When is his baptism? We want to be there."

This sounds like a really great opportunity!!! If this were me, I'd definitely make Isaiah 1:18 a focus of my talk.

I finally got around to watching this. I found that one of the most fascinating points that were made by the scientists was how empathetic they were to the flat-earthers. There was the one that was stating the flat earthers are people that have been left behind by science. They aren't dumb, they are...
