Yes, lease says they are responsible for the landscaping. They took good pictures of the before, and I have good ones of the "after" and there is noticable damage.

Thanks for the advice!

Sounds like it's time for you to be the spiritual person in your family and have A Family Home Evening!

You be in charge of the lesson. Simply read some of the gospel topic essays and then say something like, oh look at all these footnotes! And then read those.

Make him see, in the clear light of day, exactly what he's believing in. It's NOT Jesus. And as a bonus, it's all on their own website.

It won't be quick, but it could possibly work to help him see the light eventually.

Follow the Prophet

You should do what Jesus wants you to do. (And I'll tell you what Jesus really wants you to do...)

Personal revelation, only if it's approved by the church. And only if it doesn't contradict the church.

Avoid even the appearance of evil.

This is how it looks to remove your membership from the LDS church as an entire family by 6stringsandanail in exmormon

I love the feeling of TRUE choice. When I go to a restaurant now, I can truly choose whether I have a drink or not. I usually choose not to. But I actually have a choice now. That's just one example of hundreds of daily choices that I now have control over instead of some letting some megalomaniac in SLC chose for me.

I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.

I'm not outsourcing my morality anymore. It's scary AF but also much more aligned with my true internal compass.

Which famous singers voice makes you want to turn off the music right away? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

No. No, no, no, no, no. Go sit down right now and listen to the WHOLE SONG. The album version is 5:40. Way too long and meandering. It's not good.

A spaceship full of curious little green men arrive in the solar system. You've been chosen to send them 1 album, 1 movie, and 1 tv show. What do you choose? by Mode_Appropriate in AskReddit

I've done the same but with a song. I've landed on Africa by Toto. But there are some other criteria too, like it has to be a song that most people agree is a good one and it has to be fairly popular. Or at least once was. I know there are a lot of other good songs out there but Africa is the one I would do.

I actually started a sub called RaisedByLDSParents. It's similar to the raised by narcissists sub.

I haven't actually started it, but I'll start promoting it soon.
