When I moved into my first house that I actually owned, even though already exed out of the Church for ten years I went up and bore my testimony of Christ and his gospel. My oldest daughter was crying seeing it. They eventually got the news about my status. They allowed me to attend the High Priest group. My son was 12 soon and got ordained by the Bishop.

I told my home teacher who was the Bishop's councilor, I think what I thought about the new Junior High decorated with tons of witchcraft where he taught seminary. His son was enthusiastic to hear it. My youngest daughter was 'chosen' to be a student body officer. IMAGINE THAT. She is a perfect cutie. They were setting up my daughter and fully pulled away from her after lifting her up. She never made friends in Junior High for three years there. BITCHES!

That home teacher brought his wife once and I performed a song about 911 on my keyboard. She complimented me and her husband was less impressed. It was not all that, I admit. Especially my vocal 'lack' of actually putting a performance behind my singing. If you know what I mean.

Turned out that both my home teacher and the bishop's wife got cancer. The home teacher's wife died. On the other hand the Bishop came over hat in hand and begged me to allow him to do something for us. And it was very helpful as I did need some financial help for a couple of months and he gladly helped. He was really shook up about his wife and must have been to seek to clean his slate of whomever might have been offended. His wife recovered.

It was unforgivable what the girls did to my youngest beautiful daughter.

They are entitled to what you have, whether it is your time or property.

They feel entitled to pry into your private life.

They feel entitled to judge you.

Why this should be I am not entirely certain.

But as an attorney, I have more than once encountered Mormons who feel entitled to my services just because I am the same religion.

Try being in construction. People think I can go build a room addition for nothing on my weekends for free or for a "deal."

But in all honesty Consig...Mormons don't corner the market on this. I have remodeled a few Christian church buildings for free...it starts out with 20 people on the first saturday, and then three weeks later its me and the other few "construction" guys alone..

You're a professional, and you should be paid like one. The work you posted here is perfection. I hope you get compensated to make up for that nonsense.

No, I think it has to do with the Law of Constipation.
