Second Thoughts

[_Bond...James Bond]

I would say to do three things.

Say your personal prayers.

Say your family prayers

Attend sacrament meeting at least.

Strong possible fourth is study the scriptures, solely the scriptures, on your own. Accompany this with personal prayer. If your making this huge decision regarding deity, at least base it on the scriptural evidence.

Hate to say it Gaz, but simple solutions don't always solve complex problems.

Simple, like the still small voice than can be nurtured by following a simple set of instructions for communing with deity?

Simple like a comforting feeling and a pricking of a heart?

Simple like a connection between two truths to broaden your scope?

But then, I'm not college educated or callous.

Getting fitted for his new outfit. He thought his old one was a little effeminate.

Runtu, run-from-it.

Dude, she is playing you like a fiddle, no make that a violin.

I know this may sound harsh, but for gads sake she needs to grow up.

As soon as you give in to her alligator tears, she will have a gallon of em on the ready.

You are both adults, talk it over as adults. Ask her why she is so emotional.

This could be a great place to start pulling her out of the hole she is in.

I bet she brings up the eternal marriage thing... this is a good opportunity for you to show her where the whole enternal marriage crock came from.

Sure, I wish you'd just attend, but I don't want you to do something that is against your better judgment. I just don't see what benefit you get in staying home. Maybe if you used the time volunteering somewhere--visiting the sick, etc.

Folks like you and Gaz just do not get it do you?

He KNOWS, he KNOWS (with a K), that the Mormon church is just another quirky religion. He KNOWS it is not divine.

Hanging out in the stupid chapel is not going to change that. He is not just inactive. K?

So please stop with the whole "I wish you'd just attend" cuz it ain't gonna work.

Did you just say scriptural evidence?

Scriptural evidence? Ya and while you are at it Runtu, pull out "The Night Before Xmas" for some Cringle evidence..

Good god gaz. Read his post. He believes in Mormonism as much as you believe in Santa Claus. K?

[_Polygamy Porter]

Simple like a connection between two truths to broaden your scope?

Two truths? In religion? Where gizzy gaz?

But then, I'm not college educated or callous.

Ahh that explains it. Here, take a piece of my mind and see if you can grow a brain.
