Mormons

Ok Kella, I read some more of your posts, and now I feel bad.
I really was nasty with the jokes and I'm sorry.
I'm not laughing about them anymore.......much!
No really, I'm not. I just have this joker side to me, it's a mental thing. Sometimes I'm just a big stupid jerk.

I know what you mean about a few bad Yahoo's that can make everyone else look bad. You can see it in every religion and denomination there is. In all honesty, the Mormon religion could be just as close to the truth as any other, who is to say, we are all(well, most of us) are trying to figure it all out and we are just human.
Please accept my sincerest apology. 🙁

I was being extreme to get a point across. However, the person never replied, so my post got left out there, all by its self.

People sometimes need a slap in the face to wake up and see what they are doing. So, my comment is out of context. You have to read the post before to understand what I was getting at.

Do you understand?

Yes I do...diddly do......

It's a TV show. It's my favorite TV show actually. It's called LOST....it's on ABC. It comes on Wednesdays at 8pm central time. Check it out.

New episodes starting I hear.

Apology excepted and I'm sorry as well. You just caught me at a bad time. My life is catching up to me...and my hectic schedule is breaking me.

Some of the jokes were amusing, but some just didn't make a bit of sense at all. If they had been teasing toward one of the true misconceptions of the church...it would have been funnier to me, but it was taking two misconceptions and twisting them around into a completely different animal. It was just...I dunno.

I dunno. On the previews for the next episode it didn't say "Next Week" it just said, "Coming soon". That usually means a re-run or two....but hopefully not 6 like a couple of months ago!

Honestly...they need to air more new episodes than last seasons episodes. It's getting annoying.

Hey I like that show lost too, except it's starting to drag on a bit, plus the fact that they seem to have as many reruns as new shows.
Guess you could say I'm loosing intrest in lost.
Bet lost has already lost a lot of fans.
I still can't help watching the next episode when it not a rerun.
Anyone have a favorite character.
My favorite character changes every few shows, Jack was cool, then Loche was cool, now I think Echo is cool.

I had a good day yesterday (Sunday).

I was sitting out of Sunday School filling out my tithing slip and I went and handed it to Miguel. I saw a stack of really old post cards and my friend Napo (Napoleon) pulled them out and we started looking at them. It was post cards of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It showed their temple and their tabernacle...etc. It was totally freaky. I've never seen anything like it.

And they have this huge cross on the outside of their temple. And everything they do is for Peace rather than Christ or God. It's not bad that they believe in peace, but it's a mural of this play-dough looking guy with a lion and a lamb that they worship and pray to I guess. I have no clue. It would be interesting to get one of them on here and explain what they believe. Cuz now I'm curious...because what they believe and what the LDS believe... seem like two completely seperate animals.

I can't even explain it, but I'm going to try. When I saw their temple (which is completely open to the public) I thought of two things immediately. One, Candyland...and two, space ship. Props to the architecht...it is a rather neato looking building, but also kinda makes you think...are they trying to tune into the mother ship?

Anyways... when I was out of Sunday School I noticed the missionaries in a classroom with these two non-member guys. I know they were non-members because of the clothes they had on at church...or perhaps they just weren't active members...I didn't know at that point. I asked Miguel if that was the Gospel Essentials class and he said it was. So I went in and they all looked at me kind of confused and I just smiled and sat down.

The lesson was basically about the First Article of Faith. Once they learned that I was a lifelong member of the church they started asking me all of the really spiritual questions. Somehow I was really tuned into the class despite the fact that I was sleepy. I gave some really good responses. The class totally rocked. I can't wait for next week. Coming on here has really strengthened me and helped to prepare me to share what I believe with others. I honestly feel that if I didn't have this thread that I wouldn't have been able to bare my testimony to those guys and would have lost an opportunity for someone to learn about the church. The missionaries are great, but they teach the basic meat and potatoes...the members and their testimonies kind of describe the way the meat and potatoes taste and how amazing it is. I dunno. Dumb comparison...sorry.

Oh...and for the past couple of months I keep saying that I want to meet a Tongan guy and now we have two missionaries in our area that are Tongan. One is in Singles Ward...and they are cousins. I really don't know how to spell their names though, but I'll learn...I swear I will.

So yeah...I'm done rambling. 🙂

school and sunday, two words that combined dont sound too good in my ears............school ends on friday.....or sometimes it ended before it started on mondays too😄

Nice! can you give us a visual of the Reorganized church thing, it sounds really interesting, like something you'd have to see.

I'm glad the thread has helped you.

Tongans are cool!

Blackhat, I like your avvie! Monkeys make me happy! 😄

Anyway....... I don't even have anything to ramble about.....so i'm gonna go now..... 😉

Okay...I found a picture of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple. It's interesting...to say the least.

It's found in Independence, Missouri. Here's a night time pic.

You can't see the cross on it's side in either pic. I think it's on the other side maybe. Anyways...this is what it looks like from the inside.

As awesome as theirs looks, I think I still prefer ours best.
