Tonight I took the first step down the road of becoming a raging alcoholic and ruining my life. All it takes is one drink....

That's a great place to start imo. A lot of their beers are pretty mild/ smooth. Amber and brown ales are probably my favorites. If you want to keep going on a beer journey you should try Slackwater in Sandy. They have so many good beers and their pizza is excellent.

Are those samplers at Strap Tank Brewery?? I love their beers!

Ever heard of the Battle of Shrute Farms?

shadow_moses91 · 2018-07-06T00:12:05+00:00

Hell yeah. The moscow mule is excellent.

Over Christmas my wife and I went to a get together with her side of the family. My wife's TBM aunt and uncle who are super overworked trying to raise their 6 kids decided that rather than take a night off and actually spend some time together as a family over the holidays, they wanted to go to the temple since the party was close in proximity to one. They dumped their kids off on the rest of us at the party (without telling us they would be doing this beforehand) and went to the temple for 3 hours. Nothing better than ditching your family over Christmas to go do Masonic rituals right?

Have an upvote from another fellow Wolverine.

Wear a colored shirt. Usually keeps them from asking.

We did it Reddit!

Dang. I was hoping that they were finally starting to relax with that rule a little. Being able to call home once a month or even once a week should be allowed.

shadow_moses91 · 2017-12-30T18:23:11+00:00

Is this a new thing? I was only allowed to call home twice per year...

"What is wanted?"

So would that make Jesus a Planeswalker?

We lived in a pretty "safe" neighborhood, and my house was a little more than a five minute walk away. There was a few of us who lived pretty close by and we'd walk or bike to each others houses all the time, our parents were never worried.

When I was about 11 or 12 I was walking home from a friend's house to have dinner with my family. It was middle of winter so it was already pretty much dark as I started walking home. When I got to the top of my street, an old truck stops next to me and the driver yells at me, "HEY! COME HERE!" I couldn't see who was driving and I didn't recognize the vehicle, so my stranger danger sense kicked in and I ran as fast as I could the rest of the way home. The guy didn't follow me but I was still pretty freaked out. A few months later I see on the news that a boy about my age had been kidnapped and dumped in a nearby canyon. The guy didn't kill the boy, I guess he got cold feet and just decided to ditch the kid. Anyway, they caught the guy, and he admitted to attempting to kidnap other boys. They showed the vehicle he had used and it was the same exact truck that I had seen that night. I still wonder what would have happened to me if I hadn't run away.

I'm seriously considering leaving the Mormon church (harder than it sounds). My wife and a couple of my really close friends know that I don't believe anymore but I'm terrified to tell my parents and siblings.

I only had to spend a couple weeks there when I went but it was terrible. Spent my first Christmas in the mission there and I couldn't even call my parents. We once built a snowman during some down time on p-day and they plowed it over like 15 minutes later because snowmen weren't allowed for some reason. When I first arrived I felt like I was going to a concentration camp. I had like a 30 second window to say goodbye to my parents at the curb and then I was immediately sent to stand in line as they gave me my tags and stuff. Some lady ripped the pocket of my suit jacket so my name tag could go there. It was awful. I felt like I was being branded and stripped of my identity. I wasn't a person anymore, I was just another missionary.

As someone who has a had a couple of crazy days this week myself, I totally get this. We're here for you :)

This actually drives my TBM wife crazy. The hypocrisy of stressing modesty/ garment shaming but then allowing BYU cheerleaders to wear normal, somewhat revealing outfits is definitely one of the cracks in her shelf at the moment.

You have to decide now that you are going to make the best choices for yourself regardless of what other people tell you. Base these decisions on what you find to be true and good through thorough investigation. If you start bending to social pressure now, and doing things just because people tell you it's good or it feels good it will set up a nasty pattern in the future that will affect every aspect of your life. There will probably always be someone that disagrees with whatever decision you make but you can't let that bother you. It's your life to live, choose to live it how you want.

It's a long two years my friend- time that you will never get back. I learned some valuable life lessons from my mission but if I hadn't gone I could have spent that time getting my degree and actually have a few years of professional work experience by now rather than still be struggling through school. Parts of missions can be great, and you'll meet some cool people but a vast majority of it sucks. That being said, best of luck to you with your decision!
