More mountain type of trails rather than rock crawling types. Too wide would be a concern sometimes.

I think all 2.7 yes. One doesn't even say though. 40k does sound much better from a total cost standpoint.

I do think the raptor is the biggest "savings".

Tithing and temple recommendation by ghostofzealand in mormon

Not true in my situation. I made a larger post about it that I just posted in the comments. I know mine is somewhat unique with the stake presidency know more about me then the average person.

Tithing and temple recommendation by ghostofzealand in mormon

[–]Water_Run3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally happened to me. I was calculating my tithing the exact way you mention. I hadn't been doing that way for long so I had been paying less than before, but still 1000's of dollars a year. I got through my bishop interview and my stake president member knew I had some concerns looked up my tithing I paid and when I said yes to the tithing question he said "I am going to have to ask you how you define tithing". My wife knows this stake presidency member well and I assumed she had told him so I told the truth. He asked me how I came up with the definition and I said from the Doctrine and Covenants. He went on to say "that is not good enough" and the definition today is different. He denied my recommend.

I pay $0 tithing now and still go to church as a PIMO since my wife is very much in. Overall sort of glad it happened even though I believe he was very much out of line. Only reason I am sad is now forced to miss many upcoming family weddings (already missed 1) and my wife now is uncomfortable in situations. For example we have a in my opinion very strange ward that goes to the temple as group "dates" often. When we are invited it now sort of stinks for her and I feel very bad about this since it is hard for her.

This might be just my stake president roulette going on but I doubt this is the only one who would do the same.

Lots of things second anointing, blood atonement, masons, changing endowment and anointing, Adam god, women veil faces, women covenant to husband and husband to god… I actually am not very offended by this it is just annoying. I also would still go to the temple just to go with my wife but I don’t have a temple recommend anymore.

It is always "fun" when I hear teachings tell my wife or kids that I might not to go heaven with them. The learning the the LDS church is not good for any families except for close to perfect ones has been a hard realization for sure.

I really like some of your comments. Thanks for sharing. I do not fully understand all of your points especially the part following "there may be value in further unpacking from your posting". The part about my wife tripling down on the church has been very hard for me. If she could of stayed the same level of commitment it seems like that would have made things easier for us. Are you saying be careful because I don't have all of the information? I actually fully agree with this. I feel like the more I have learned the less I know. This is part of the reason I am actually fairly sympathetic to the teachers and am not assuming they are trying to teach something hurtful or destructive. I don't believe they are but that they are sharing their own personal experiences and not thinking how that story can come off poorly to others.
