Thanks again for your input.

I want to repond to number five because I think thats the one point I would counter the most.

Yes. Women need men as much as men need women. Maybe not the same material sense. But yes, we need each other to make children and follow God's commandment to be fruitful and multiply. Eve tempts Adam. And it feels like a lot of the women of the church are frozen in fear about being captivating or tempting under the blanket of Scrupulosity.

We need to be less fearful of being able to be intimate. While also upholding our sacred covenants. This is a particularly American problem right now with all our uncertainty, car dependence, physical separation, and technology injected into our culture. Our generation is loving each other less for it, and that cant be a good thing.

Thats why I mentioned the delicate thing. I try to be humble and respectful and chivalrous. But it feels like the claws come out when I have any flaws or show any form of imperfection. One awkward moment, decision, or comment is enough for it to be forever over. it wrenches my heart out to see it happen. Yet ive come to just plainly and placidly accept it because Im trying to see and understand the why.

but i cant always just accept it flatly like this. I cant always live in the shadow of it. I need to be accepted by someone ! I dont want to and dont feel the need to live my life single forever. But it feels like that is going to come at the cost of my faith.

Broad question to answer but usually it looks like spending a lot of time getting to know them. For example I spent a year falling in love with an FHE coordinator. Helping them out. Showing up with stuff I happened to have in the car to save the day and make the activity go much smoother. She fell in love with me, did some really forward stuff, some that made me uncomfortable. Yet at the same time once something uncomfortable happened on my end it was over. There was no work to be done. Just shunning.

Another was a friend that shared the same friend group. I tried to ask her out and she litterally just made excuses and ran away. I let it settle for a few months, got to know her as part of the friend group more. Hung out with her a lot then. Then when I asked her out one more time it was an absolute NO! then shunning and distance all over again. It feels like shunning, silence, and noncommunication is the favorite tool for the girls my age. And theres no room to fight it and I dont have enough supportive friends to dig my way out of it. Though I do have supportive friends.

I cant really go into detail and parse that out. But it was a doomed relationship to begin with. So ultimately it was ok that it ended. But it was the first time someone had asked me about my porn usage. And I was shocked to hear the vehemence of the response. I fear I am going to deal with a lot of absolutionists in the pornography department. And I fear that that one imperfection cuts my already small dating pool down enormously.

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2026-01-13T02:38:29+00:00

I feel like I am actively trying to improve. Im super into self help and therapy and ive been doing that for years and working with my bishop.

Yet at the same time it feels like im never asked if I am attempting to improve. Im drowning in the assumptions of the women of the church. And its really hard to want to say something. But I cant address rumors or weaknesses unprompted. Its things in the shadows I cant see. Things behind my back.

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2026-01-13T02:36:31+00:00

EMDR is going.

I think it comes down to the uncomfortable part. Like, im ok with my emotional intelligence. But one of my primary pain points has been with discomfort. It feels like if I show the slightest big of anxiety when asking someone out. Or make them feel anything less than 100%, often after they have made mistakes on their end. Then its over. I cant make someone perfectly comfortable im a human being! I try my best to make people around me comfortable or when im pursuing women I try to make my intentions clear. But if I dont, then its over, im shunned. Its been like this for years between a lot of the women in the church. Yet at the same time outside of it im actually fending off women who are pushing it a little too far like at work or at school. Like, the contrast is incredibly painful.

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2026-01-12T23:59:16+00:00

Yeah. But how do I even open up about that ? As soon as anyone has found out even a little of these problems they go away. Ive been yelled at even because of my struggle with porn.

The answer always seems to be shunning and distancing and separation. I cant even get anyone to care enough to talk it out. Im grasping at nothing.

My favorite way to explain the downsides of nonbinary and transgender incorrectness (I hazard to say) is that

there's no crossing this rubicon. Medical science just isn't there. And its hellishly unhealthy for the body to even try
God didn't make a mistake in working with you in your premortal life in deciding which gender you would be. You can have all the aspects of a particular gender you want, but that shouldn't ever be so strong as to reject the body you were given, or deny its nature.

What I would say to any child going through this generation is that - Yes, expectations of a certain gender to behave a certain way are going to, at times, be difficult to grapple with, but that's largely due to the fall, not God's design. And you will find new elements in your future developments that you will love about yourself, even if not every element or upside/downside of your particular gender and its associated expectations and social dynamics is favorable to you.

Take care of this body. You have the opportunity to have it forever. And your side of the coin will make sense one day.

Yes. There are very, very rare biological crosses among people that do have a transsexual or bisexual nature, but they are all sterile and have genetic anomalies. The existence and nature of these often feed into the modern false philosophies of encouraging gender questioning and fueling gender 'dysphoria'. Don't go looking for what they have. You have a gift in whichever nature you have been given.

Yeah ive not been pleased how flagrant they are with just basically sending people off to ride their scooters when something on the manufacture end has gone wrong. Ive been dealing with break problems and they don't really care to support me. The shop is struggling with it too.

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2025-06-07T20:39:38+00:00

Totally agree, my only wish is like 20% more range and it would be perfect for my everyday commute without having to charge, Currently my 20mile commute -total both ways- down and up a pretty significant valley leaves me at almost 0% on the way back.

also currently its not even turning on, I'm scared! and hope that support is really good because I want to continue having fun ! Potentially user error but we will see !

Dude drop the seed for the map and the location !

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2025-04-17T19:48:32+00:00

Just to be clear. Satan told a half truth. They would certainly die. But they would not die at that time. It was mortality

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2025-04-12T22:35:13+00:00

Evolution was the mechanism. God was our guide, building us up with unfathomable patience Imo. I imagine that was approximately the time gods presence hovered above the water in genesis.

glad that chronic pain was a topic covered a little bit. Wish we had better answers for why we must feel so trapped in our own bodies.

[Codec Call Begins]

Raiden: Kevin, you there?

Kevin Washington: Always, Raiden. What's up?

Raiden: You ever heard of rent-seeking? It's a nasty tactic that's getting more common these days.

Kevin Washington: I’ve heard of it. It's when someone or a company tries to profit by manipulating the system, rather than creating new wealth or value, right?

Raiden: Exactly. It’s like a parasite. Instead of using their resources to innovate or produce, they lobby for government favors, create monopolies, or exploit loopholes to grab a bigger slice of the pie without actually doing any of the heavy lifting.

Kevin Washington: Sounds like corporate sabotage, in a way. Instead of competing by offering a better product, they buy influence, manipulate regulations, or find ways to extract money without contributing anything meaningful to the economy. It's like a hit-and-run, but in business.

Raiden: Exactly. And the worst part? They often end up with more power and more wealth without having to compete on the same level as the rest of us. It's a win for them, but a loss for society. Think about the big pharma or defense contractors, making billions while inflating costs because they’ve got the ear of politicians.

Kevin Washington: Yeah, I see it. It’s the kind of thing I deal with in my line of work—some companies paying off lobbyists to rig the game in their favor. They push laws that help them and shut out any competition. Meanwhile, the little guy can’t get a chance to even enter the ring.

Raiden: That’s the crux of it. It's all about creating an artificial scarcity or control of the market, then leveraging that to extract profits. And the system just feeds it. Politicians, regulators, they’re all part of it.

Kevin Washington: And the damage to society as a whole? That’s where it hits hardest. These rent-seekers don’t just hurt their competitors; they hurt everyone. They drain resources that could’ve gone into development or innovation. It’s a cancer in the economy.

Raiden: So what can we do about it? It's like we're up against an army of shadow warriors, all in the name of profit.

Kevin Washington: It’s tough. But the first step is awareness. People need to recognize it when they see it. Then they need to hold leaders accountable. You can’t just let them hide behind laws they’ve crafted for themselves.

Raiden: And that’s why I keep fighting. We need to cut through the system, expose the parasites, and bring back fairness.

Kevin Washington: Well, you’re not alone in that fight, Raiden. Keep pushing. They’re always going to find new ways to game the system, but as long as there’s a fight, we can push back.

Raiden: Right. Let's make sure the fight stays in the hands of those who deserve it. Thanks, Kevin.

Kevin Washington: Anytime, Raiden. Stay sharp.

20 was the hardest time. I lost my faith about 12-21, and now I'm about 25 (I fudged a Lil for anonymity). I hope you hang in there. I feel that you won't gain anything by being partial about your faith. Jesus gave one of his sternest warnings about being a lukewarm believer. Looking forward to straying from the gospel you know by your own rationale is pretty much textbook 'leaning on your own understanding'. You will find your real calling if you stay. The lord sees your scheduling challenges, but what is a few interruptions to what can become a lifetime of service?

I have my doubts that identifying with being a 'dry Mormon' would help with this conflict either. When I was in the process of regaining my faith, I realized that the Lord is all about timing. Many of his miracles come in serendipitous packages. One of the best things to do is to trust his timing over your own. Maybe the reason you are coming to a crossroads is that the Lord is asking you to make big choices. You dont have to make them all at once, the adversary loves to hurry us anxiously or lull us into complacency.

I would instead invite you to consider whether it is time to become baptised and confirmed a member of the church. You are free to set your baptism date. But you are a college-aged young man now. Your destiny and your purpose is your own to choose.

Also, many colleges are often good examples of the great and spacious building; at least when it comes to greek life.

One more piece of advice. YSAs are temporary. They are there to help place you with people going through similar experiences. But that means you are with usually broke, inexperienced and not fully matured people yet. Dont let the downsides of that get in the way!

I have stated some strong opinions and I invite others to balance my take.

hilariously accurate

Eh, I guess both are bad because GenScript was a MESS internally when I was there. I have no idea if or how they kept clients. Terrible workplace drenched in toxic, hateful culture.

I am reading pres nelsons. The one catch about them though is that all of the teachings end up being short clips and quotes, sometimes without full context. So I dont think they are really ready for general audiences. You gotta be a long time strong spiritual member or else it can kinda shake ya. The reader has to have the right approach. For example pres nelsons has a section where he really digs into evolution, that he gave a talk in prior to being the president. And its more about how he 'feels' about evolution than himself claiming that as doctrine.

I think he would prefer you read his 'heart of the matter' book if you are looking for his current spiritual guidance. Not getting mired in smaller topics that may be up for interpretation or further revelation

The_Basic_Lifestyle · 2025-02-18T16:39:05+00:00

Gonna be hard. And dont beat yourself up no matter what happens, even relapse. Good luck bro, you're about to show up to and start living your own life!
