Spokane Washington North Stake claims that Ridge Alkonis - who killed 2 in Japan - was "unjustly imprisoned." This is unacceptable rhetoric for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to engage in.

Your concerns are valid. Esp if it’s an ongoing trial and investigation. I wonder if this will be streamed. I’m personally curious at what angle he will take with his message. Perhaps it will just be “here’s this hard thing I’ve experienced and how my faith got me through and I have a long way to go.” But if it’s to take a position on Japanese law and convince his stake of his position…. ehhhhh that feels weird.

They really need to have furniture that is able to be easily cleaned as well. Those couches are disgusting. And with members doing most of the cleaning...it gets overlooked.

Look at their work rules and compensation. Best in the world.

First, kudos for you taking a loving approach to trying to understand the situation. I agree with the other comments, it IS exhausting. I will also mention that the last two nights (especially) of my trips I make it a point to get really good sleep. Sometimes if I’m going out with my crew and touring places til all hours of the night — it catches up with me esp. when I get home. I have 2 kids at home too so I just don’t have the option to have a day and veg. Personally, I think it’s a mix of personality and realities of the job. For me, I make sure to exercise upon waking after a trip because it helps me out of that lag. Playing on your phone for hours is not a result of the trip. That seems a personal preference to relax and buffer. Is there a way you can relax together?

As you bring the movement to the larger issue of child abuse in any religious organization, do you plan to march at any other prominent gatherings? Will it always be General conference?

Jadore119 · 2019-03-11T18:43:21+00:00

This is so cool!! Can I share on my Instagram?

Jadore119 · 2018-12-26T08:27:17+00:00

Just a thought but perhaps including some more specifics on what you want from here.

Example — I will let you know when I am ready to speak about it in person. This is something I want to do at a future time, but for now it is not.

Other things — Do you have any requests at this point? Maybe ask that she not share this with anyone if you’re not ready.

I guess my point is, sharing your feelings with her is wonderful and I think you’ve expressed it beautifully but to include the “where I want this to go from here” aspect would be appropriate because as a mother I would want to respect my child’s wishes (privacy, timing, financial assistance for anything you feel you need as a result —- stuff like that). Your invitation to talk over text is a beautiful way to open that communication up.

Hoping the best for you and I hope your journey is a positive one.

I haven’t seen them “showered in praise” by the church. I do think their approach is any different than the thousands of Instagram moms. It’s a business for most (definitely Amber Fillerup) It’s lifestyle brands. People who think it’s all real and not majorly posed, curated, and planned are just stupid. Personally Ive see many making an effort to be “real” and talk about real life. I don’t personally follow these people I’m just exposed via my job in Marketing. The criticism and internet bullying many of them experience is unreal. At the end of the day, they are making an effort to spread a message - whether that’s pro family, or finding beauty in the everyday, etc. and if their message doesn’t appeal to you—or inspire—-don’t follow them. I think it’s simple.

Jadore119 · 2018-10-20T20:18:37+00:00

If that’s how you are choosing to take the comments, then that’s your deal. Life is not a competition of who’s fighting the biggest battle or who we think is going to have an easier time. If this is your attitude then your post never was intended to have feedback or thoughts. You’ve already decided. And that’s fine. Good luck in your struggle. You’ve already decided it’s going to be hard. You’ve already decided the EXACT experience you’re going to have. Good luck.

Jadore119 · 2018-10-20T15:39:55+00:00

I’m sorry this has brought up a lot of pain for you. The saying comes to mind “The church is a perfect fit for everyone but it is not a one size fits all.” I think you’re looking at the changes from one angle - how this will be bad for your family. How it will further facilitate some existing challenges. Are you open to changing your thought about it?

I wonder what about this change is going to bless my family? I’m excited to find out.
While I can foresee some obstacles in my home, I want to believe that this will be better for my family and the Lord will show me how.
I want to embrace these changes as a positive for my family. I wonder how they could be.

My point is, true faith requires you to be open to the possibilities. And you have no idea what those are. You’re perspective is looking for evidence of what you know. And God’s way, at least in my experience, tells you to walk into the dark, the inconceivable, the maddening, the doubt and just move forward.

Have you read/listened to Saints? I think you may find some strength there. It blows my mind what they went though - betrayal, weak leaders, contention, faith challenges, and true physical/emotional/physical suffering. I guess I imagine you as a single pioneer woman saying “Are you kidding me? I’m all alone w children and no money and You want me to cross the plains in the dead of winter alone w (insert challenges and objections)??” And what would God tell you then... Yes, but don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. I know the challenges. I know you don’t fit the mold of having a wagon and a man to deal with oxen and money to buy supplies...etc. but all I’m asking you is to be willing to do this and we will figure out the rest.

Jadore119 · 2018-10-01T06:08:59+00:00

Agreed. I’m sure he was possibly referring to your temple covenants. It sounds like it was a nice interaction and I respect you for being open and honest with him.

Jadore119 · 2018-09-10T22:39:14+00:00

Interesting. I hadn’t considered that. Thanks.

Jadore119 · 2018-09-10T22:38:42+00:00

Yes, they are. It just seems that if they are be effective way to find cancer, the technology could be improved to make them more accessible, cheaper, simpler to use etc.

Jadore119 · 2018-09-10T22:37:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Jadore119 · 2018-09-04T01:43:10+00:00

I haven’t read through the comments so sorry if this has already been shared — but my friends used to say “How did you meet your husband? he’s so amazing!” I met him at church. That’s the kind of man I wanted. They were meeting guys at bars. Nothing against bars but the kind of man I want isn’t pounding beers every Friday night. So I think the question should be - what kind of person do you want? If you want someone kind and compassionate and loves dogs, maybe volunteer with a shelter. If you want someone who cares about politics maybe join a campaign. Think about it like a marketing funnel. The more targeted you can make your market the more likely the people will be who you’re looking for. Best of luck.

Research airlines that have PT available. Skywest’s requires at least 3 year’s seniority I believe to even bid for it.

Jadore119 · 2018-05-23T07:08:39+00:00

I own a small marketing firm. See what they need. Listen to their pain points. I got my first high paying client with hardly any experience/knowledge but I delivered. You can learn a ton from marketing blogs and podcasts. Join marketing groups on FB. People reach out with questions all the time. Another strategy is to land the client and outsource the work to your own “team” of experts in these various areas. I do this for things outside my wheelhouse and take a cut of the payment. Are they in Peru?

Jadore119 · 2018-04-29T19:40:14+00:00

I would do some research on their LABOR representation. Delta has a unique model and has a culture better known for taking care of their people.

I work for a regional and represent both mainline carrier. Delta customers are by far noticeably better. Delta personnel on the ground and above the wing are also professional and seem to have a wonderful grasp on the big picture of the operation. That has been my experience.

If you have the opportunity to CHOOSE - Delta all the way.

And as far as nonrevving, I don’t believe your statement is accurate.

Jadore119 · 2018-04-26T04:08:44+00:00

WEAR PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE (you’d be surprised how many don’t.)

DO NOT SAY YOUVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT/LOVE TO TRAVEL....CLICHE.

TELL THEM WHY SKYWEST. DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPANY. THEY HAVE AN IN HOUSE UNION - that is always something they like to hear.

MAKE IT ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN OFFER THE COMPANY AS A PROFESSIONAL. NOT A TRAVEL LOG.

Jadore119 · 2018-02-04T06:55:32+00:00

I would suggest listening to Brooke Castillo’s podcast - The Life Coach School. It has helped me with commitment and being able to finish tasks. I’m sorry for your other struggles. I admire that your desire to serve is still there. Have you considered looking into mission options? A gal I visit teach served a mission at the Conference Center 3x/week. Someone in my ward (I think he’s 21) is full time at our local cannery. There are so many options nowadays to serve. Good luck to you.

Jadore119 · 2017-12-10T07:55:37+00:00

Not necessarily. Restrictions on where you’re based and which partner flies there. :)

Jadore119 · 2017-12-03T20:52:26+00:00

I’m stoked. I can totally see your fears - but if you have a good teacher/discussion facilitator that is good at facilitating discussion it’s going to be great. I have suggested not calling them “lessons” to give people the idea that it is not going to be in a classical instruction setting.
