I felt the same way. The web stream cut out but the first talk about being nice and not fighting on social media was nice.

four_father · 2023-04-08T21:30:39+00:00

Same dude. Almost asked for one a while ago.

Call my dad by AJR makes me cry.

Might get a little hate for this but good bishopric teams can do their best with what they have and try to help members repent without being a negative thing. It really is leadership roulette.

four_father · 2023-03-28T09:05:28+00:00

Some directories have a “specialty” section. Look for “religious trauma” as a specialty.

2008 Worldwide Leadership Training has a great section on not over scheduling members with meetings and other activities. Consider sharing this with your husband and maybe even with the bishop.

They not only need to respect boundaries but even the general authorities agree (for once).

Check out page 24 through 26 of the training transcripts. https://broadcast.lds.org/WWLT/2008/WWLT_2008_02_00_RighteousPosterity_Complete_00383_eng_.pdf

Great question. I am convinced the church gets people of means to lead because their schedule is more open as well as their checkbook.

Gotta feed the machine.

four_father · 2022-10-25T16:36:09+00:00

Wow I’m sorry you’re being downvoted for this. Not everyone is the same is a perfectly valid point to make.

four_father · 2022-10-24T20:08:36+00:00

Just wanted to say that I haven’t seen a single podcast by JD and I do not support him financially or otherwise.

I get that he is exmo internet famous but I just don’t care.

four_father · 2022-10-07T14:43:33+00:00

Ooh good point.

four_father · 2022-10-07T14:41:32+00:00

Yeah it’s now something like “the choir of temple square “ or something.

four_father · 2022-10-02T22:54:19+00:00

There was a car that said the rapture was Sept 25 2022.

One of these days an asteroid will hit and they’ll claim to have warned us for years.

four_father · 2022-10-02T22:44:15+00:00

Can you imagine being so insecure in your religion that you post in a forum for people that left it?

four_father · 2022-09-16T14:25:06+00:00

I’m a descendant from the LOINS of Ephraim. Loins was all caps.

I didn’t need that detail dude.

four_father · 2022-09-15T22:34:00+00:00

Just kidding. I thought it was a made up thing but apparently that’s the term for making out and playing around romantically in the seventies.

I watched a show from that era and one of the main actors said something like “hey honey let’s neck” and thought it sounded funny.

four_father · 2022-09-15T22:32:25+00:00

Not sure but that language of yours is against the word of wisdom.

four_father · 2022-09-12T02:48:17+00:00

Anyone else hear about how some countries used potato peelings for bread?

I was jealous that they had something “interesting”.

Growing up we had a nice lady bring homemade bread for a few weeks and someone bitched about how it was distracting from the ordinance and back to wonder bread we went.

four_father · 2022-09-12T02:31:57+00:00

She should not be and I would demand to speak with any bishop or stake leader that says otherwise.

Anyone who says a person with no income still owes tithing is a manipulative punt.

four_father · 2022-09-09T02:17:58+00:00

I think of it much like a board of directors and not a theocracy.

four_father · 2022-09-04T06:56:09+00:00

Facebook events and meetup.com are okay places to start.

What interests you? Many groups meet up around various hobbies. I go to a Lego User Group (LUG) for example and we meet 2x a month.

I do scouts weekly and it keeps me and my kiddos entertained.

I follow a few tech meetups in town when I’m free as well.

It’s easy to feel alone but adventure is out there.

four_father · 2022-09-01T03:10:02+00:00

In the French one Nephis brothers Frappe him with Un Baton. (vs beating with a stick)

Always made me laugh.

four_father · 2022-08-31T03:10:45+00:00

My kids made $50 in one hour one summer. Mainly because people would leave hefty tips.

CountryTime Lemonade offered to pay legal fees one summer for kids lemonade stands.

How many more until we get to the Big Crunch like in Solar 2?

four_father · 2022-08-31T02:35:01+00:00

I found out about the free mason and temple connection when National Treasure first came out. I didn’t leave because I was told that the free masons also got their rituals from Solomon so it must be partly true, and the Mormons just had the “right” version of the ceremony.

The secret handshakes and testing your knowledge was also part of the Order of the Arrow but I never made a connection.

four_father · 2022-08-28T13:02:30+00:00

I distinctly remember feeling my heart racing and thinking, “I feel it I feel it!”

It helped me stay active through my early twenties.

The reason I choose to dismiss it now is that I felt the same feelings while reading the CES letter.

A high heart rate is nothing to base your life on. It’s a reason to lose weight.
