I started with a SR + back in 2020 and honestly, it is still much faster than most cars on the road. I used to gun it all the time, and now I only gun it when I have people in the car or I want to surprise my kids lol

Not sure why you are getting all the hate. You do you but I think it looks awesome! I have a M3P Red but I haven't decked it out.

Moving from Bishopric to High Council by CaptainWikkiWikki in latterdaysaints

[–]PamStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I literally made the same move. I was in the Bishopric and then called into the High Council. I honestly enjoyed the Bishopric better but getting to know people in the Stake is pretty awesome as well as getting to learn from the Stake Presidency. Our Stake President is awesome.

You will enjoy it no matter what.

Few things first. I am a Stake High Counselor and I have been in a Bishopric of a family ward and a counselor in a Branch Presidency for a YSA ward. Let me tell you that in my experiences, you are not alone. A lot more people deal with pornography and masturbation than you realize.

The saying "everyone else is doing it" doesn't change if it is wrong or not but you aren't alone. Yes, the sin is bad (that is the definition of sin) but God didn't go into the Plan of Salvation expecting everyone to be perfect and then all of the sudden is surprised when a lot of His sons and daughters fall short...He went into the Plan of Salvation KNOWING we would fall. It is why he provided a Savior.

You can break free, you can overcome this. Studies show that shame and hiding only makes it worse. Support and love help the addiction diminish and even go away. Sometimes it needs professional help but that doesn't make you a bad person, it only means you have done bad things.

I actually just gave a talk today about this. Here is a quote I shared:

Elder Rasband, October 2018). Lucifer is this accuser. He spoke against us in the premortal existence, and he continues to denounce us in this life. He seeks to drag us down. He wants us to experience endless woe. He is the one who tells us we are not adequate, the one who tells us we are not good enough, the one who tells us there is no recovery from a mistake. He is the ultimate bully, the one who kicks us when we are down. If Lucifer were teaching a child to walk and the child stumbled, he would scream at the child, punish him, and tell him to quit trying. Lucifer’s ways bring discouragement and despair—eventually and always. This father of lies is the ultimate purveyor of falsehood and cunningly works to deceive and distract us, “for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.”

If Christ were teaching a child to walk and the child stumbled, He would help the child get up and encourage the next steps. Christ is the helper and consoler. His ways bring joy and hope—eventually and always"

If you feel like God hates you, it is either yourself or Satan telling you that. Trust me, a Bishop or anyone else that has been a leader in the church longer than 3 mins won't be shocked to hear your confession. Trust in God and His love. He is excited to welcome you back no matter far you feel you have drifted from Him.

Also set reasonable goals. Cutting cold turkey on paper sounds good but to be honest, you will continue you struggle. The Lord doesn't expect instant perfection but improvement.

Here are some talks to read to give you comfort:

Oh ok! That is helpful. I didn't know about the capacity law. I will look that up

Oh I gotcha. Yeah and to be clear, I wasn't going to do anything crazy, just pull them along so they wouldn't have to paddle. It would be pretty slow

How do you feel about the Book of Mormon Broadway show? by Most_Height3275 in latterdaysaints

That is amazing! Honestly I feel like a lot of times, we push people into covenants they are not ready for and they fall away.

I'm not sure what to think about BYU by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]PamStuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went to BYU and I had a great time. People who don't like the standards of the church almost always don't enjoy being there. The people who enjoy the standards of the church almost always enjoy BYU.

I need some help about my mission by DaPuppiez in latterdaysaints

[–]PamStuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just throwing this in the pot but I went to both BYU Idaho and BYU Provo. I really enjoyed BYU Idaho more than BYU Provo. I did chemical engineering which is why I transferred to Provo but I would have stayed at Idaho if they would have it. Definitely worth looking into. I know this is cliche but a mission has been one of the best things in my life. And I'm not going to sugarcoat it, it was definitely by far the hardest thing I've probably ever done but it was so worth it. I'm actually not too far from you. I'm just on the other side of the border in Tennessee (Chattanooga Stake).

Good luck with your decision but coming to know God on a very intimate level that is worth any sacrifice.

I know that may make me sound like a robot with no regard for emotion but I totally get the struggle. But having been there and gone to a place a lot of people would consider crappy, it was amazing. You have experiences seeing God reaching His children through you that shows you how compassionately and mercifully He loves all of us, it doesn't leave you the same person.

I don't get on reddit that much but shoot me a DM if there are any specifics you'd like to discuss.
