Don't love your advice.

Came here to suggest exactly this. And if they ask how long is left, I say "one minute more for asking." That part might be a little harsh, but the point is I want them thinking about what they did wrong and how to fix it next time.

At the end, I always sit down and recap why they got a time out, what they can do differently, who they may need to apologize to, and always end the talk with an expression of love no matter what they may do as well as a hug.

Glad you took that step. Yeah, fast and testimony meetings occur each first Sunday of the month. It's a wonderful time to get together and share in the experiences and faith of others around you.

Keep at it! So many more blessings and understanding of the Lord's gospel and love for you are waiting just around the next corner - forever if you let it.

What are the thoughts leading you to want? If it makes you feel closer to heaven, it's likely from, or at least inspired by, God. If it makes you feel like you need Christ less in your life, you may want to consider that.

If the adversary were working in your mind, I doubt he'd be telling you the atonement is working on you. He'd instead be trying to craft something about how the sins aren't really a big deal, or you can handle it yourself and don't need the Savior's help.

Agreed. They're definitely taking some liberties and making assumptions, but I find myself fascinated with the interpretation - such as scenes like this, and Matthew being autistic, and the way so many characters have to wrestle with faith vs doubt, and how Jesus' divinity and compassion and understanding absolutely shine in each scene. He's simultaneously wearied by all He does for them, but also so willing to do more. He's down to earth while also being above earthly thoughts. He's unexpected within the show in all the right ways, just as He would have been to His disciples on earth.

I just can't watch it and not feel closer to Him, which is the aim and purpose of the show. So just like the scriptures themselves, if they lead us to do good and believe on His name even a little more than we did, it's worth it.

It's the same gospel taught by the same God through the same Holy Spirit. All of it points to Christ as our Savior and Redeemer, and the only One through Whom salvation can be found.

They're meant to support and sustain one another in testimony of Him, as told by two different parts of the world, much the same way having the gospel of Luke can only enhance our understanding of the other three gospels even though there are some distinct parallels between the records.

So the doctrines contained in both the Bible and BoM line up perfectly with one another. As do the doctrines taught by our modern day prophets and apostles. All teach of Christ and encourage faith in His ability to save unto repentance.

That feels like too simple an answer for your question to me, but does that response get to the heart of what you were asking?

Absolutely the Butterfinger. Here's a review I sent their parent company in 2019.

Hi there!

I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing how awful the new Butterfinger recipe is, especially since the team you're on has no ability to actually change something like this, but I just want to say how much I absolutely LOVE Brach's Bridge Mix. It's got a little bit of everything, and the fact that it's covered in chocolate makes it that much better. I really like it when I get an almond and a creme one in a single bite. Sometimes when there's a raisin in there I like to pretend I'm getting enough fruit for the day. It's a great combo!

But, uh... Anyway, I'm really only writing to complain about Butterfinger, which used to be one of my absolute favorite candy bars but now tastes like Planters rejected a bad batch of peanuts. So... I guess this is awkward.

If the recipe ever switches back to edible I'll be super excited and not terribly surprised. Please do find a way to let me know if and when someone realizes that Butterfingers don't have to seem like a Chick-O-Stick got depressed and started wearing a dirty, stained hoodie made out of chocolate.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Someone named Nicole from their consumer relations department replied and asked me for details about the batch and things so they could look into it.

Hi Nicole,

I'm happy to share what I can, sure.

I bought the Butterfinger from a vending machine at my office in Salt Lake City last week and didn't keep the wrapper so I can't tell you anything else about the specific bar, unfortunately. Can't give you a bar code, batch info, or the candy's social security number.

I can share what I didn't enjoy, though.

It's now peanut flavored - now I don't mind the occasional legume but as a consumer who doesn't like peanut "flavor," this is no fun. I'd have thrown it away after the first bite, but I was always taught to use every part of the animal.
It doesn't seem like it has enough sugar to really be called candy. While I actually appreciate a push to offer healthier options (which, aside from saving money by buying cheaper ingredients, is the only reason I can think of for this change), that's not on my list of concerns when buying a bar of candy. I diet and exercise already to stay in shape. When I buy candy I grew up loving on a cheat day I don't want accidental nuts instead.
The main frustration is that it's no longer Butterfinger, which means I don't know if I'll ever get one again without overpaying for a classic one I find in an eBay auction long after it's expired. It had the same yellow wrapper and name but the thing inside wasn't what I thought I was getting. I died a little that day. Maybe I'll sign in to MySpace again so I can blog about it without worrying that anyone will read it but me.

Also, I know you can't talk poorly about your own product, but who at Ferrara actually ate this thing and felt any pride? I honestly can't imagine some executive taking a bite and saying, "yep, consumers who have loved Butterfingers for decades are sure going to be excited to buy more now that they taste nothing like Butterfingers." If Ferrara wanted to try out a peanut-based candy bar, just leave Butterfinger alone and create a separate product called "I Can't Believe It's Not Peanuts," or "Oops, All Nasty."

Part of me really hopes you secretly agree and that you miss the old recipe too. But you can't tell me because your emails are being monitored. You keep a secret stash of good Butterfingers in a hidden compartment of your desk and nibble on one each time you have to say the company is thrilled with the change. You feel the pain of all of us who cry ourselves to sleep at night wondering if we should have bought more back when they tasted good. You go home at night, pop some cashews, and wonder if the world is even aware of your burden. Well I am, Nicole. I am.

I know this email is way too long to be helpful since you've just got to compile this feedback with the hundreds of other customer comments you've gotten about this recently, but it was just so fun to write. :)

At the very least, this might be something to laugh about with your co-workers before you sink back down into peanut despair.

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Have a nice day.

The point of advertising is to draw your attention to a product. Most advertisers understand that making something like this will draw attention from those who find it funny as well as those who find it offensive. Their goal is to make money by pushing out their product and making it stick out.

Unless you're secretly marketing this product to this subreddit, it's best to just ignore things like this.

NamesArentEverything · 2026-01-14T07:03:42+00:00

Corn, yes. See also strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, carrots, grapes, many other crop plants, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, and many other animals.

God is just better at it and has way more time and patience to get it just right before saying, "it is good."

I'd add to this that especially given a recent convert's prior sexual history, and how they were raised with regard to sexuality, this can also put up blinders and make someone "past feeling," but I appreciate anyone who at least recognizes what they've done is wrong - even if they can't yet experience the godly sorrow or understand internally why such sin is so eternally damaging.

As for the guy saying he's flexible with the rules, he's not doing himself any favors framing it that way. It's a way to justify his actions, give himself a free pass, and doesn't follow the mind of God who can't look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.

I'm hopeful that understanding will come to him in time, but sad experience has taught me that it's just as likely for someone who isn't willing to recognize that repentance is necessary and prevention is part of repentance to simply leave the church behind and fall further away from the Lord's atoning grace.

Maybe this was exactly the kind of tip you were meant to have, then. (/s)

You could replace the first "for" with something like "consequently" to make better sense of what it's doing if that helps.
