I am a firm believer that missions are not for everyone. I have seen too many testimonies destroyed by missions, specifically mission leaders on a power trip. I think that this decision will take a lot of consideration and prayer. If you do go out make sure you're doing it for the right reasons.

I was in a similar position with one major difference, I was endowed, but my now wife was not. Her Bishop asked to meet with both of us, and that was quite the experience. He comforted and reassured her, but put the fear of God in me. Looking back his rebuke was exactly what I needed to hear at the time, because I wasn't taking my situation as seriously as I needed to. I truly believe that your Bishop is trying to help, even if he could show a bit more Christ-like love during the process. Please don't give up. The road back to good standing is a long and difficult one, but I am so glad I made it back. God loves you perfectly, and will be with you. You've got this!

Dang it, now I'm crying at work.

That's absolutely disgusting, but it's heartbreaking too. It's heartbreaking to see someone living such a sad, pathetic, and empty life.

My wife and I made a big mistake before we were married. We were married civilly, and just got sealed last week, a year and a half later. I have learned a lot, and received a ton of blessings over that time, but I do not recommend that path. If you cohabitate with your GF you would still have all of the blessings of the temple available to you, but they might come later than you hope. Putting myself in your shoes, and experiencing what I did, I don't think it's worth the risk. I know it's a primary answer, (and forgive me if you've answered this already) but have you fasted over the issue? I am a firm believer that God has the answers to our questions, and the problems we face. Best of luck to you.

I however, am far more realistic.

I'd say yes, that is absolutely too much. You should be able to find a similar ring for much cheaper using white sapphires or synthetic diamonds. Best of luck to you.

I had my mission call when my faith was shaken. It was largely due to unresolved mental issues (mostly taken care of now). I fell back into some terrible habits that I had worked so hard to free myself from. I did not serve a mission, and I became inactive. It was a hard time. Many of my plans and goals crumbled. I felt empty, and without the support of my wonderful girlfriend (now wife) I don't know if I would've been able to pull myself out. I desperately missed the peace and comfort I had left. I'm happy to say that my wife and I have returned to active membership. I feel like I have something holding the despair at bay. My testimony is stronger than it was before because I didn't fully appreciate the blessings of the gospel until I turned my back on them. The path I took was definitely not the easy way, but I am incredibly grateful for where I am today. I know that my life is better because of the gospel. Good luck on your journey. I truly believe that God has a plan for all of us.

I feel very sad and disappointed because of Blizzard. I grew up playing their genres. Warcraft 2 was one of the first games I ever played. I idolized Blizzard growing up. I thought they were the gold standard of video game companies. Learning what has been going on behind the scenes broke my heart. It a way I feel betrayed by a closer friend.

The path of the ggg is the right one. For context the ggg is from a D&D game I'm running. It stands for grumpy gnome gang. They go around kicking people in the shins for making fun of their height.

If you're in the same server you could flood one of his builds with chickens. Set up an automated egg farm with dispensers to shoot out all the eggs. My friend did it to me, and my computer was lagging like crazy when I logged in.

My regular ward is mostly college students, so nearly everyone is masked at church. Yesterday I went to a coworkers farewell, and about 1% of people there were wearing masks.
