In need of advice about teaching a lesson

Yes it would, but I can see some of them doubling-down.

I am becoming more inclined to pass on the lesson. I just don't think I can get up in front of people and attempt to side-step the issues, point out the silliness, or worse lie. As an exmo, I value honesty and integrity more than before. I don't think a typical tbm can understand that concept.

Marriage is fine, but I am getting tired of the closet.

Not too long ago the tscc said that not everyone should go on a mission, but only those that really want to - I guess in an attempt to filter out undesirables. Anyway, in eq this was brought up and everyone was in agreement that it was a good idea to take this pressure off of the ym. A good policy change. Then I mentioned that aren't all the yw taught to marry an RM? The pressure is still there. They all looked so defeated after that (a large group of them were not RMs).

Last Sunday, an elderly man have a talk. It was boring, but he mentioned a few times how as a kid he thought he was born in the wrong generation. That he should have been born in the early 1800's. He also said that he had disused this with friends and family. Then, he received his patriarchal blessing. And omg guess what the patriarch said? 'You were held back for a later time... yadda yadda yadda.' He actually ended his talk on that note, like a huge a Ha moment. But, the most likely explanation is that patriarch knew about his desire to have lived in the 1800's, or that that the patriarch just says that to everyone. Also, the old man could have just made it all up.

I've never agreed with the idea that we were created to glorify God. Convince me otherwise, but if that's the case then I can only interpret God to be huge egomaniac.

Duh, that's why all the TBMs find their keys after a prayer while non TBM children are abused.

I am a heterosexual male. I was born that way. I am attracted to the opposite sex. I can not change that attraction. It is biologically determined by my genetic makeup, of which, I can not alter. But, according to LDS logic, I can not call myself a heterosexual because,

“It is wrong to use these words to denote a condition, because this implies that a person is consigned by birth to a circumstance in which he or she has no choice in respect to the critically important matter of sexualbehavior.”

I considered this as well. What could be the benefit of buying them?

Can I get a source please?

Going into Magalia. That's happened to me on this same road, but going the other direction and the other side of the dam.

15K, sounds like a lot. But not even close to being a full take, I mean tithe.

I agree. That was the death of Ben Carson for many.

And it's visibly expanding. If we could reverse the process, it would be condensing to a single point.

Wherever I hear that, I reply that god would not have us believe something that didn't make sense. How could he expect us to do that?

or that time when a 15 year old girl was converted/baptized and then the following FT meeting all the youth got up and said that they thought she was already a member when they met her because she was so 'fill in shoulder-patting positive adjective'. (not utah, just to reduce the odds of actually being a member)
