With liberalism, beliefs are contradictory & or full of double standards. Ie: Contrary to overwhelming evidence that homosexuality is more nurture than nature, liberals try to preach that homosexuals are born with homosexual preferences and cannot change. Yet, they claim that pedophiles are not ...

Also, I want to thank Lost Girl for taking excellent notes and for providing all this information for our conversation here. Thanks for such an organized presentation, Lost Girl :) ! It's very interesting to hear what is being said at these meetings and some of the responses to the many questions ...

God could have an opinion on social issues. (If he existed.) Those who claim to speak for him are allowed to have an opinion on social issues. These baseless opinions should bear no weight on the governance of a civil society, its laws, or its courts of law. If god wishes to appear himself as an ...

Oh, wow ! Love your food photos -- how fabulous !

I've been too busy to find time to meet wit the bishopric in person, so the first counselor texted me this morning to ask if I would accept the calling. I sent a text back saying that after much thought and prayer, I was sorry to say that I would not be able to accept the calling. Got to love text ...

Her grounds- she says she married my friend because she thought that he was a good Mormon and lived his religion- but after 25 years, she has decided he just does not measure up to her standards and she does not love him any more. Wait a sec....... there is no evidence that he did any of the things ...

The idea of losing your salvation is one of the spiritual abuses that LDS folks have to endure ...

Thank you, S.N.E. ! This article is very helpful and thought-provoking ! It deals with a lot of issues of my family of origin and what I went through as a child. Much appreciated, from Wndr.

Red Ryder FTW !! Truer words were never spoken.

I spent a lifetime it seem worrying that I would never be perfect enough to be rewarded on high and saw myself as less in comparison to other families who seemed to be more perfect. Then the shelf fell and I realized how abusive that ideas was. I guess some days I just get angered at myself for ...

Thank you, achilles, for a beautifully written description of your Mom's memorial service. You perfectly conveyed the atmosphere of warmth and kindness that surrounded your Mom and her memory. I agree with you - had the service been at church, it wouldn't have been nearly as nice. How wonderful of ...

Maybe I should go get personal counseling to help figure myself out if she won't come along. Thank you for sharing about your situation. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, and my heart goes out to you. :cry: Approximately the same thing happened to me some years ago. I wanted to go to ...

HI RED RYDER !! Hi ENOUGH !! HI HAGOTH !! HI EVERYONE !! I missed you all so much!! I'm so very happy to be "home".

Carry on, everyone !! Love you all. - Wndr.
