i remember very few of the details, of when, where and exactly what took place, however a few years ago i was told the story about three elders that were walking together and the middle.
elder was struck and killed by lightning.
the other two elders went to his house to help out his wife and discovered 'apostate' material in their home.
I heard a a child bringing a smurf doll to the KH and halfway through the meeting the smurf got up and ran out!
Smart smurf!
I heard a story of a couple of pioneer sisters who took a sharp turn off a windy road ended up at the edge a cliff but an angel prevented their car from falling off while they got out.
im posting for brooke, cause she is in the middle of a bet, and cant post till may 3rd.
and we know how determined she can be.
she wont loose.
Wine may taste real good at that memorial.
It's probably "two buck chuck".
i tried logging on here last night after i got home, but i kept getting a message saying that there was an error and i couldn't get on.
anyhoo, i walked in the hall last night with my parents, who also roped my inactive brother into going.
lol!
My co-worker went to a memorial a few years ago. It was because one of her friends was a dub and wanted her to go. She said it was so boring and made no sense. She never went back.

feels great to fly our counties colors..
Yay! Tell those elders to shove it.
my in-laws still attend meetings and defend the faith to the best of their limited ability.
i saw limited, as their understanding of the faith ended somewhere around the 1980's and when you bring up new understanding, they think it might be apostate and do not listen.
there not alone, trust me, several witnesses do not grasp the changes.
i remember all the young kids with cool parents got to sit in the top rows. Then there was a talk about that and they started blocking off the top rows.
If I still had to go now, I would bring my video ipod. They're easy to disguise.

Remember, the Supreme Court which gave you your recent victories is a majority conservative court, and a majority Catholic court at that!
I would check that. Liberal (4/5) Stevens, Souter, Ginsberg, Breyer (kennedy a swing)
Conservative (3/4) Robers, Scalia, Thomas (Alito but he has voted with the other side a few times)

Hey
I came out to myself around 15 and then was forced into coming out to my parents at 16. Oy vey! I remember the elders meetings and all that other bull crap. It was a really shaky time. The one good benefit of coming from a broken some is that I was able to move in with my dad who is a non-practicing catholic.
It is hard to come to terms with when people that acted like your friends for so many years decide to hate you because of one little thing. Although the news may be rough for many of them, your true friends will shine through and will love you no matter who you are.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
i got a phone call today from one of my former lovers.
she told me that she was with a man that was close to death, because he caught hiv and he didn't tell her.
anyways, i'm about to get tested tomorrow, april 1. pray that i test negative.
Actually we should all be sending negative thoughts.. since a postive test result would be bad....
But overall it's good that you're getting tested. Everyone should. But I wouldn't worry too much. But maybe it should scare you enough to wear a condom next time you are doing this with someone.
Obviously the person infected didn't take care of themselves either. If they are close to death they haven't been treated. Nowadays if it is caught early enough you can still live quite awhile. Look at Magic Johnson
the cong elder came looking for my wife and i opened the door wearing my favorite college t-shirt that reads:.
i'm and immigrant and i'm f%$&ing proud of it.
of course, i told him she wasn't home, as the line goes whenever they seek her..
I'm and Immigrant and I'm F%$&ing Proud of It
Really? Perhaps you bought the shirt at www.engrish.com
he knew that the young man would know nothing about it.
he then proceeds to ask me about it.
"who would be the next in line if the vice president were to die?
Tell him the beauty of living in America is that you have the freedom to be ignorant if you want to be. It sounds bad but it's one of the greatest freedoms. You have no obligation to know about history or civics if you choose not to. You have a right to know more about American Idol. True knowledge is power but it's your choice.
