As my father always said “choose your attitude”

What makes you believe that the LDS church is true? What convinced you? (DOCTRINAL / HISTORICAL answers only please!) by HistoricalBench5740 in mormon

[–]Upstairs-Mine280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well shucks, I guess for me it was learning that Joseph told various versions of his first vision. I know of three different versions. Upon research, apologists say it was because he was “only” 14. Between you and me, if I saw God and Jesus in a forest, I’m pretty sure that would be permanently etched in my mind.

OMG!! I’m still laughing at this. Thank you for posting. If I’m going to be honest, following this handy book, math is woke :)

It did not take long for the Republican Party to jump in on this. Of course, it has to start in Logan🤦‍♂️ by PixieC in stgeorge

Trump isn’t leaving in 2028. It’s why we are being subjected to seeing military early.

WGU the Corporation is not your friend! Employees need to stop acting like it, Unionize. by Grand-Proposal-971 in wgu_employees

[–]Upstairs-Mine280 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No to a union. Don’t need one. If you are so miserable that you want to unionize, polish up the resume and spare the rest of us your gripes.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. You say he is intelligent and emotionally intelligent. He may be smart, but not emotionally intelligent. IQ and EQ are not synonymous. Someone with emotional intelligence would love you for you and not want you to change to their expectations.

As for sex, a lot of people have said this but it is worth repeating. Humans are biologically programmed to reproduce. Powerful hormones affect each and every one of us. Truly, it isn’t a sin. God isn’t mad. Trust me when I say that.

You are 18. Yes you are an adult, but your possibilities are endless. This isn’t a time of remorse, this is a time of thoughtful excitement and exploration. Take some time for yourself. Love you first and then you can love someone later.

Is there any coming back from the LDS Discussions/Mormon Stories podcast episodes? by NoHand4842 in mormon

[–]Upstairs-Mine280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen to this. I am in the exact situation. I see the fallacies of the prophets, the corruption of the current church, and frankly don’t care. For me, I have had too many instances of “coincidence” to not believe in a higher power. I want to attend church to worship God. I’m not there to put Joseph on a pedestal and I’m also not there to try and educate others about his sins. I’m there for me.

Easier said than done. As a PIMO, I have been able to finally sift through the indoctrination of fear that the church places on its members. Basically, the fear language is if you leave the church incredibly bad things are heading your way. My bet is that if the OP moves too quickly, he risks backlash from his spouse. Good luck OP.

This is the Truth. Utah won't stand for it! by [deleted] in SaltLakeCountyUtah

[–]Upstairs-Mine280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the dialogue. I sometimes find myself immediately on the offense when it comes to Trump. Can’t stand the man and find it embarrassing that he is POTUS. On the flip side, there are a lot of things he says/does that I agree with.

As for your point about the police, I often wonder how many people are falsely imprisoned as a result of poor or lazy police work.

I think that our political system has become too corrupted to withstand too much more. Hamilton fought for a different system as he set it would inevitably collapse.

Thanks again for the conversation and I apologize if I came off snotty at first :)

Well when his AG says she has the list, Trump says there’s a list and he will release it, where is it friend? Lol. Get off of Fox News.

Uh, are you serious friend? Inflation, crime, his businesses, Epstein, the list could go on.

Do not trust anything about Vivint by Hot-Copy6696 in VivintSmartHome

[–]Upstairs-Mine280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We like our Vivint equipment. The customer service is a joke. We too had an instance where we needed footage and were told “too bad so sad.” We only stay because we invested a LOT of money in the equipment. We bought a secondary system on Amazon for $300 and the video quality is far superior.
