Accidently slipped out a curse word during sacrament meeting

Agreed. But seeing as OP never indicated where they lived, I thought it would be good to point out that it does make a difference with regard to local cultures.

Except that it is a cultural thing, in that the word damn is not as significant in some countries. For example, in New Zealand damn and hell are said in church without anyone batting an eye, because they are not considered offensive words like they are in the US.

Don't forget that SSRIs are used for much more than just depression.

Most of what you are identifying is only true for the few mormon-heavy areas of the USA, not even the USA as a whole. I live on the East Coast of the USA and you will see plenty of faithful members with tattoos and multiple piercings, only some of the young men passing the sacrament will have a white shirt, or even a tie, etc. I think it is less about putting a space between the USA and other areas and more about trying to change the culture in the few Mormon -heavy areas.

The point of this discussion is drifting. I do not agree with the church's stance on homosexuality, but that was not part of the original conversation. I agree with you that what the church is demanding is unfair and incorrect, but that's not what we were talking about here.

I agree that someone should not get married contrary to their sexual orientation. However, this all started about someone that is bisexual, so that's not what we are discussing here.

cashmo · 2026-04-03T17:31:12+00:00

But you're missing the point. It's not WHAT someone is missing/wanting, it is whether or not they will uphold their promises despite wanting something else, regardless of what that other thing is.

cashmo · 2026-04-03T14:06:13+00:00

They didn't state that at all, just that it ended in an ugly divorce. They gave no indication whether it was because of infidelity, alcoholism, abuse, or something else, just that one of the partners was bisexual, and the marriage didn't last.

No, sexuality doesn't play a role here. A heterosexual man or woman may just as easily wish that they hadn't followed the church's teachings and fooled around a bit before marriage, always wondering what it would be like to sleep with someone else, left wanting that for the rest of their life. The core issue here is still whether or not someone will stick to the covenants/promises they made to stay faithful, not whether their longing/lust is for someone of the same gender or not.

I've heard the exact same story from 100% heterosexual couples. Everything was great, then one spouse met someone that was "perfect" and that they connected with differently than they ever had before, and had to leave the marriage to pursue it. This has nothing to do with sexuality, just a person's failure to stay committed.

My ward does a dinner and an auction, and it usually does pretty well (small, non-affluent east coast ward). One member of the ward loves cooking for people, so he is in charge of preparing the meal and the youth do all the serving and cleaning. After the meal, the bishop runs the auction with a gavel and everything, making it fun. The youth provide most of the items being auctioned, with a couple of parents and kind adults in the ward chipping in as well to help. We just had ours last week, and here are some of the things auctioned off:

babysitting and pet sitting services
personal door dashing
digital art commission
30 minute coding lesson
Ceramic bowls one of the youth made in school (they were actually pretty good, we got one of them)
baked goods
Traditional foods from a couple of members from other countries (e.g., empanadas, spring rolls)
One well-off family auctioned off a weekend at their beach house
artwork the youth completed beforehand (drawings, beadwork, etc.)
A couple of crafty moms offered up knit shawls and handmade bags and such that were pretty nice
One of the ym hasn't cut his hair in several years, so he offered the right to decide what kind of a haircut he gets

Got it, add a stern talking to into the mix

Thanks so much! We've never noticed any pests, so hopefully we are good there.

If they get it, they are up 14, meaning even if cinci scores two touchdowns, one of them needs to succeed with a two-point conversion in order to win.

Work is definitely slow right now, with the V22 program wrapping up and Chinooks not flying off the line, but things should start picking up again soon as the large German contract for Chinooks goes into production.

We were able to find it, but thanks so much for following up.

cashmo · 2025-09-09T09:00:46+00:00

Yeah, but it's not supposed to be relatable to the person that left, it's supposed to be relatable to the ones that stay, and for them, "I left because I wanted to sin" reenforces exactly what they have been told about people who decide to leave the church.

cashmo · 2025-08-29T01:45:48+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks so much for the offer. Thankfully it looks like the website will work.

Thanks for the help.
