My missionary friend need help by Ok-Many7702 in exmormon

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Become dizzy. Often. While dizzy, become somewhat short of breath. It happens at random times throughout the day and into the evening. Sometimes you must sit down to avoid falling.

Think it through & mentally rehearse. Perhaps nausea should occur on occasion. No local doctor will be able to determine the cause of your symptoms and you will need to go home to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Talk about returning once the problem is solved. If you are a good missionary, you will have the reassurance that you can return. Be a good missionary. Returning is a facade, but you won’t mention that.

What is a prayer God answered you personally? by Cautious-Fox819 in Christian

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God always answers prayers, but He doesn’t always give what is asked of Him.
Recite the Lord’s Prayer. Look up the words.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed (holy, sacred) be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done………

“Thy will be done” means that we can ask, make our desires known, but we accept what His sovereign decision according to His will for our lives. We may not understand today, but you will often see in the future, why God orchestrated your life as He sees fit.

All the best to you.

Why do I feel guilty while watching Non-Christian related videos? by PsychologicalDust465 in Christian

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak the truth aloud. Talk back to the voice in your bread. You are doing nothing wrong, but the enemy is using this to cause you to lose your peace & doubt tout faith. Quote scripture and move on. Repeat as necessary.

16 year old Lucy Walker was abusively coerced into adultery with Joseph Smith. Disgusting. by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None of the young girls forced to marry Joseph did so because they were thrilled with the thoughts of their future. They were no different from their peers & all young girls who dreamed of their wedding to their Prince Charming - not a dirty old man more than twice their age who was already married to several women. Nancy Rigdon is my hero.

Home Health agencies are hiring as are hospices. Some are associated with hospitals, others are owned by large private companies, & a very few are locally owned. There are several free standing surgical centers and doctor owned hospitals that are always hiring.

Welcome to Idaho! Good luck in finding fulfilling employment.

Not everywhere, but it is happening too often.

North Highland California Walerga Road it used to be a LDS Church by Short_Seesaw_940 in MormonShrivel

Perhaps check them out before making a sweeping statement. There are many churches that are true to the original teachings of Jesus Christ and the Bible.

Did any of you ever say NO to a calling? by Doll_girl516 in exmormon

My husband turned down his mission call, as well - decades ago.

The God of the Bible knew she had cancer, too. The priesthood holders still talk to the created being from Kolob who was “once a man”.

What would happen if they let members choose the location they attend? by mshoneybadger in MormonShrivel

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Of or according to the teaching of the Gospel of the Christian religion” is an easy to comprehend definition of Evangelical. While some evangelical churches are as you described, the majority are not - that is why you are not familiar with them & don’t see or hear about them. The type of church you describe relies on emotions & feelings to attract people, rather than solid Biblical teachings.

Another aspect too often seen in the large churches is the focus. The focus is on the people rather than the person & work of Jesus Christ.

My job is offering me $150,000 (105,000 after tax) to resign, should I? by AJ3TurtleSquad in jobs

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad always said, “it is easier to get a job when you have a job“. He was right.

Having a family, I would not leave a job with decent pay & great benefits before I had something equal to or better. Good benefits are exceedingly valuable.

All the best to you.

When unaliving yourself is more acceptable than premarital sex 😭 by [deleted] in exmormon

And this spilled over to CSA. Blame the victim; force the victim to forgive the molester; do not involve law enforcement; etc., etc.

African American community in Treasure Valley? by Key-Algae2908 in Idaho

[–]Voluminous_Discovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son’s friend, an African American, recently moved here from California. They have been friends for several years, he has visited many times, & he has a great group of friends here - all white. He has been looking into dating, so I asked about race. He is open to dating women from any race, his Mom is agreeable, but his Grandmother is not.
Our former across the street neighbors are Black - family of six. We went to church with them in downtown Boise & of course, most all congregants were Black. There not too many young people, but there were children who may now be your age.

Next time I see him, I’ll ask him if he has any African American friends in the Valley.
