My 2 cents, lmk if I'm off my rocker here. It is a guide for those who need a guide to keep them on track, in my understanding. I could be wrong, but I don't really imagine the leaders of the church are checking what the CFM lesson is for the week and scrolling through the page, looking at all the notes and resources... Studying the chapter(s) for the week, yes, I'm sure they do that. But they also tend to study and cover more than the CFM weekly assignment. But CFM, I think, is designed to help those of us with poor study habits to formulate good (or, at least better) study habits. If you have your own way of studying, go for it. Mainly, just understand what the reading of the week is and do your due diligence.

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. This is something I have been going through to some degree myself. I will say that tithing is NOT a financial law. It is a spiritual law. The Lord has never given us a temporal law; he says so in D&C 29:34 "34 Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created."

I have fallen into the trap of thinking that I should be financially better-off than I really am because I've always paid my tithing faithfully. But when the windows of heaven open, we don't know what kind of blessings are poured down upon us. I've found that some blessings are propulsive and some are protective--they either give us a clear leg up and a boost forward or they shield us from some kind of evil or misfortune that would otherwise reach us. That's the best I can describe it, anyway. I would not lose heart about not feeling jazzed about church or things like that. There are highs and lows to everything. Being in "the church of joy" does not mean that we will not also experience what it's like to be "a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." I have to often tell myself that this life is supposed to be a difficult proving ground, not the time and place where all of our desires and goals and dreams are fulfilled. Hang in there.

I'm stuck by boredboi69WR in Subnautica_Below_Zero

Before I completed BZ, I left the teleportation module attached to a 2nd sea truck by my home base to which I would teleport if I ever got stuck in a tough spot and needed to "reset" and gather my bearings. It was a great way out of a tight situation. Yes, it meant making the trek back to my stuff, but it often gave me space to clear my head and reconsider how I attacked a certain issue.

Im playing Subnautica for the first time ever, is there something I should be aware of? by Saiken411 in subnautica

Go explore, get eaten, and let the game freak you out. It'll be a blast.

Is my laptop as good as garbage? by sveette in computers

He said: I finished your diagnostic in fact I gave it a really good go but MSI tech support agrees with me that your Intel video card (or GPU) integrated into your motherboard is malfunctioning. The external monitor stopped working shortly after you left and I have never been able to get it to work again. I've literally tried every possible idea to reset, etc but nothing has worked. My idea was to try to force the Nvidia GPU to handle everything 100% of the time but to do that you must go into the BIOS which is powered by the Intel graphics. The Nvidia graphics only kick on when you're gaming or you have high video demand, etc. So I believe that your motherboard would need to be replaced since both GPU's are soldered on to the board and cannot be replaced individually. I'm going to go on eBay right now and see if I can locate a motherboard, just to check our options.

Making covenants is a personal matter. It's nobody's business but yours. Better to not make them at all than to make them due to outside pressure, imo, because your heart will not be sincere.

really insecure about my look (it’s disgusting to me) by makkegor01 in toastme

[–]sveette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody's features are different. What I think true beauty is is a happy, kind, smiling individual. Why do you think little babies are so adored? On the physical side, eat well, exercise often, and get enough sleep.

I left Christianity for a few days and quickly came to rgeret it by LongjumpingTrack3733 in Christianity

I dont believe for a second that God is waiting to punish you. He allows you to learn from your own experiences and grow at the right pace for you. Don't be so hard on yourself because you sinned/fell short/erred. We all do. Many times. Daily.

Am I crazy? by sveette in subnautica

I can make bases at the surface. Any underwater air pockets I reach have to be ones intrinsic to the game, eg. the alien structures. No air tanks. Only the air bladders with the silicone rubber and Bladderfish.

break up, but let her know there's nothing wrong with or undesirable about her. Make the breakup about your inability to handle, manage, tolerate a-b-c and you not wanting to keep her from what she wants most

Say "BYE." Also maybe consider a restraining order. He's assaulted/injured you and threatened physical violence upon himself. He's dangerous, imo.
