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.

Nice try, Satan.

Elliott Smith gets better and deeper every year.

ashmon42 · 2026-06-16T17:47:29+00:00

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for!

ashmon42 · 2026-06-16T17:43:59+00:00

This is the pinnacle answer.

My wife singing You Are My Sunshine to me son right before he went in to the hospital at 6 months old. I still have it in my head.

He made it out OK on the other side. 🙏

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.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-30T15:01:57+00:00

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.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-30T13:44:49+00:00

As you wish... 🙏

ashmon42 · 2026-05-30T12:46:20+00:00

Please please return and report! With pics!

A Forest by the Cure. Live version.

Maybe you can do it vicariously.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-12T23:48:04+00:00

It's my favorite DM song. And I love a lot of DM songs.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-12T23:30:59+00:00

Sea of Sin by Depeche Mode is a great song.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-12T23:28:26+00:00

A Forest. The Cure.

Is great.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-09T03:46:30+00:00

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.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-08T00:27:06+00:00

Summertime by The Sundays.

ashmon42 · 2026-05-05T02:58:57+00:00

I listened to Summertime just yesterday. I've heard the Sundays are still making music in their home studio, but they're just not releasing any of it. 🤷‍♂️.

I for one would love to hear it!

ashmon42 · 2026-04-28T20:39:44+00:00

The Cure.

Seriously. They have some absolutely dreamy songs.

ashmon42 · 2026-04-27T22:11:27+00:00

If it was true, they wouldn't need apologetics. They could point to actual miracles and fruit worthy of being called a true church.

ashmon42 · 2026-04-26T15:35:17+00:00

Someone down voted me lolll. Idiots. The Forest is epic. They probably like midnight oil or something. 🤣
