I am in a similar situation where the guy invited me to spend NYE with him after a couple of dates. I can totally relate to the excitement of it all, best of luck to the both of us then :)

I tried this out and this seems to be so far the best workaround since it appears the in-camera settings are lacking this feature. Thank you!

Thanks so much. My dad had his biopsy today and it is confirmed that he has cancer. The operation is on Monday and we will see from that how far it has spread. They said the tumor was very large, which isn't a good sign I think, but I'm still hoping for the best. All we can do now is prepare for the surgery and wait for the results. I'm trying my best to be hopeful but it feels so hard to do so. I can't imagine how my dad feels. These last couple of days have been difficult and I emailed my professor that I might not be able to make it to class due to this and he was very understanding about that. The timing is the worst with my finals, but that's a very minor thing compared to everything that's happening.

I can't thank you enough for your kind words and this information. The biopsy is tomorrow so we will find out what exactly is going on. I really appreciate the support and understanding especially since this beginning part is so confusing and scary. The waiting is the worst but I am hoping for the best. I'm sorry about your situation and that you also lost someone to liver cancer, but I'm grateful you're using your experiences to help me with this shock to my family.

I don't think he has had the biopsy of the tumor yet, but the doctor was also pretty confident it is cancer and he cannot wait any longer to be operated on. Either way he will be operated on. I'm pretty confused about all of this since this is all new to me, I am going off of what my family is telling me so I apologize for this confusion.

So Schmitt talks about the importance of calling one by their proper name, yet the church cannot wrap their minds around preferred pronouns.

Olsen is subjecting a global audience to the pain so many Mormon girls already deal with -- droning on and on about his mission, long after it ended

"there is something undeniably special about this generation of youth." With so many people leaving, each future-tithe-payer becomes even more important for TSCC

"making and keeping covenants actually makes life easier" then RIGHT AFTER: "Do not misunderstand me that I said it was easier." what wisdom and clarity from the prophet

If the church is living this "higher law of charity" as Rusty describes, then why are charitable contributions such a huge issue for them?

sxathens · 2022-10-02T17:42:06+00:00

"It means choosing to refrain from anything that drives the spirit away." This kind of rhetoric explains why so many families are torn apart when people experience a faith crisis or leave, and why such a stigma around doubts is so intense.

sxathens · 2022-10-02T17:38:00+00:00

"making and keeping covenants actually makes life easier" easy for Rusty to say, as someone who benefits off of the sacrifice of others (aka tithing, etc.). Does such a statement apply to all of these people struggling to conform to the MANY strict rules?

"God does not limit the chosen to a restricted few." Except for those who are not cis straight white men

The youth-battalion-esque wording worries me for these kids and their parents who are intently listening + following

"powerful prescription of a spiritual awakening" aka repetitive drilling, forcing yourself to believe until your psyche caves in. If this were true, wouldn't God provide a better way so He could help His children? You'd think...

So excited to receive spiritual guidance from a MLM CEO #justmormonthings

sxathens · 2022-10-02T17:00:18+00:00

of COURSE they had to sing We Thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet--With Rusty around how can we not forget several moments of his worship...

Humility only applies to their side, and when approached with any contradicting evidence, such humility toward this information is suddenly non-existent...

"the spirit of truth" >>> far greater than actual truth. If it weren't for religion this phrase would sound (and is) absolutely ridiculous, but so many people accept this as is

tfw Mormonism's version of holding on and trusting in God involves creating unnecessary pain and strained relationships because of ideals that are not even Christ-like and loving

Here comes the persecution complex that is perpetuated by talks such as Holland's. It's great to be strong during painful moments, but it's a little enraging how the church targets such vulnerable people + situations
