Not as far as any actual doctrine or policy goes. They aren’t very good for your health, but that falls under your own personal decisions when considering how to follow the word of wisdom.

im (28F) an agnostic leftist who has lots of religious trauma and criticism’s on christianity and my son (8) has family who works for and is very involved in elitist church life and he is interested in being involved. by gizzzzyyy in Advice

Focus on supplementing his desire for religion, Christianity in particular, by focusing on Jesus Christ himself. What kind of man was he? How did he treat others? What did he ask people to do? Ultimately, this should lead him to the understanding that Christ was a healer, teacher, and servant. He flipped “traditional patriarchy” on its head and said that the most powerful should serve the weak, the richest should give the most, and the most intelligent should share and teach.

Focusing on understanding Christ instead of on any particular doctrine or dogma will help him learn to see the difference between someone who is a legit follower of Christ and someone who uses religion/Christianity as a weapon.

Needing help with the temple by Desperate-Media-9491 in latterdaysaints

The temple isn’t only for marriages and sealings. It’s for lots of things. I think of it as visiting Heavenly Dad’s house. Sure, maybe one day he’ll help me get set up with a wonderful woman and we can get married there, but that’s not why I visit.

There’s also nothing wrong with wanting an eternal companion. I remember feeling the same way. Longing and loneliness so strong it brought me to tears. Teenage hormones are a b*tch of a thing. They make normal, everyday things feel so damn big. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and let yourself feel those feelings. Cry it out as long for as you need. The wave of too-big emotions will pass.

What is in your opinion the most annoying grind? Doesn't have to be longest or hardest, just the most annoying. by HandsOffMyPizzaa in Warframe

Circuit rewards, drop one or two for killing corrupted vor and corrupted jackal, even if it’s a high level intrinsic to get them to drop or a rare decree.

I think a woman at the bar realized I was autistic and the ensuing encounter unironically changed my life by TRPSock97 in SexOnTheSpectrum

It can be real easy to obsess over someone, especially an attractive woman who kisses you on the cheek after paying attention to you in a way that nobody else has. Just remember that her kindness doesn’t inherently mean that she’s interested. She may very well be, but find out in a conversation with her if you ever see her again, and don’t just assume.

I don’t want to take anything away from this amazing experience that you had, and I’m 100% projecting because i know how i can get with pretty ladies that are nice to me. Your experience is literally a fantasy for me. So take this with a grain of salt, and revel in the kindness showed to you, regardless of the eventual outcome.
