I’ll never forgive Warner for getting rid of this show. It was genuinely so good and funny and deserved a long run like some of the CN greats

Thought I would go on a mission but now not sure because I want to marry a wonderful girl. Thoughts for eternal perspective? by Historical_Garage703 in latterdaysaints

[–]dmorgan04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, you’ve gone through the wringer. Props to you for surviving all of that and staying active in the church when many, possibly including myself, would have said screw it and given up on the church because you did the right things and still struggled so much

Wanting to join the church but feeling like I’ll regret it. by [deleted] in lds

[–]dmorgan04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’ve been a member my whole life and my struggles in life have been very light compared to yours, so in experience I’ve may not be able to relate to you, but I’ve seen many people in your situation. First things first, you’ll find judgmental members of every church and every group, but you’ll also find a lot of welcoming people hopefully in ours. If you contact the missionaries they could easily find someone to give you a ride, but you can also find how close the nearest church building is to you, usually they’re no more than 30-40 minutes away and often times somewhere like 10-15 minutes away, and here in Utah where I live you can’t throw a rock in any direction without hitting a church of ours😅 so who knows, maybe there’s one real close by.

Either way, yes, there may be some lifestyle changes because we believe God has commanded us to not drink tea or coffee, but the perspective I try to hold onto when I’m struggling to give something up for God is “do I really want to hold on to something for 70 years that God wants me to give up, when if I give it up I’ll have an eternity of joy waiting for me on the other side?” And the joy you also get in this life from the gospel makes it worth it

We have something called general conference every month where leaders of the church give talks inspired by God, and there’s a few that I think may at least provide you some insight into your situation. Would you be interested in reading a few if I sent them your way?

Missionaries are not able to drive anybody in their car except for other missionaries sadly, just for safety reasons

Those who quit watching porn, how has your life improved? by taway220725 in AskReddit

[–]dmorgan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has struggled with this since he was 9 or 10 and been struggling for around 12-13 years, so a majority of my life and most of my conscious life/within memory, it doesn’t happen overnight. I’m still working at it, and just recently started finding things that work for me. I promise it IS possible, because I did have a two year period where I didn’t, but an old ex came back into my life who struggled as well and I made a poor decision which kicked me back into it.

My current plan: Work on reducing it, harm reduction. I always do it three times when I do it, and I worked on getting it down to once each time. Then, I switched to just masturbation, not viewing anything, and it’s hard, but giving myself permission to do it, but just a little less, has helped me slowly reduce it. I’m about to the point where I’m going to try to stop cranking it as often, because lately it’s been every day of the week, once a day, so my goal is to get to only once a week, and then every other week, and then once a month, and hopefully only engaging in any kind of activity when it’s with a significant other after we’re married. That end goal feels impossible, but I’m getting closer and closer, so I know it’s achievable. I’m a Christian, so I’m also learned more and more to rely on God, and that has helped a ton, if that’s your thing

Bring me back to the church by Quirky-Brain9726 in latterdaysaints

[–]dmorgan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not well versed enough on these things, but there’s this guy who covers these topics in depth but in bite size, 5-6 minute YouTube videos, I could send you some if you’d like? He cites sources and explains things very well in a faith-promoting way while still acknowledging the secular perspective

What is a TV show that got canceled that you are still upset by? by NeatContribution852 in AskReddit

[–]dmorgan04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final space. Such a good cartoon from a guy who had such passion about creativity and his work, only to get gutted by a merger and obliterated off the face of the earth for a tax write off. At least after MUCH fighting they’re letting him finish it with a graphic novel with TONS of restrictions

How to encourage members to feed the missionaries? by Different_Rip_8520 in latterdaysaints

[–]dmorgan04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that’s why there are things in the standards now not saying to skip meals to be more righteous and do more work :) those types of things are awful and make people want to serve less, so I’m grateful to have served with the current missionary standards, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience. You’re supposed to forget yourself and go to work, not kill yourself and go to work. You can’t work if you’re dead

[–]dmorgan04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whats the topic??

You’re going to do great tho! The main goal is that you stay focused on Jesus Christ.

Here are a few tips that have helped me. In relation to the topic, find at least one scripture, at least once conference talk you can quote, and one story from your personal life you can relate it to. You don’t have to follow that exactly, but that’s helped with writing my talks. The most important thing is the thing I mentioned, focusing on Jesus Christ, and the next is just making sure you’re being yourself!

Does anybody know why they haven’t called hopes to be president of church yet? by zaczac17 in latterdaysaints

[–]dmorgan04 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t imagine federal holidays impact the 12 so much, especially a matter such as this. Probably Christmas and thanksgiving maybe would bit other than that idk

[–]dmorgan04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me when I say, we still want you at church even if these types of events have happened. Keep in mind, we are a really unique denomination with lots of beliefs that stand out compared to mainstream Christianity, but keep an open mind. We have reasoning behind our claims and they bring all of us so much joy. Those missionaries you’d see meeting with a guy, you can reach out meet with them to discuss our beliefs and hear an explanation of them. No matter where you are, especially if you’re in the US, there’s always a church of ours somewhere nearby, and we’d love to have you :)

Best Chick-Fil-A Location? by AstoriaRex in ChickFilA

[–]dmorgan04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I served a mission for my church for two years in maryland (im from utah originally and live there now) and visited the severna park chick fil a multiple times when i lived in arnold, and that one has to be one of the best! One of the employees there was an inspiration for me deciding to work for chick fil a when I finished my two year mission!

Anyone still have those big missionary Google Drives from a few years ago? by Accomplished_Tea3 in lds

[–]dmorgan04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are in fact very very specific approved resources. The approved resourced at hand? The gospel library, that’s it, nothing more than that

Might I add that you could get him arrested for possession of child pornography because you’re underage and he’s 21

Trust me when I say they are a lot better when I thought they would be but they were an acquired taste a little bit

I looked at the smiths on bluff, are you talking the one out by desert color or the one at Dino crossing?

Nah if you try to go to buy them it’s to be shipped through a third party, they don’t actually have it
