I tried to be a Mormon

[_Droopy]

This is a very funny place.

Funny as in "ha ha" or funny in a straight white jacket kind of way?

It's a blend of both.

Ha! I see this person tried to sneak this thread into the Celestial Kingdom. Naughty naughty...

For any of you who don't know, this is the LDS discussion board equivalent of what Rush Limbaugh terms a seminar caller. They come by here now and then and stir the pot. Is, or was this person ever even a LDS? Only the Shadow knows...

You may be right. But I think it better practice to treat the person as if what they say and feel is real just in case. If this person is real you as one of the allegedly active LDS members that posts here have certainly done nothing to help.

Sacrament meetings with three children are too stressful. I can't say I've taken anything of value away from the meetings. I don't feel like a better person or mother.

Sounds like your a rather fragile person. I've seen moms with more kids than that handle it just fine. Often. Ever try Ritalin?

All of my so called friends I can live without.

Might this be mutual?

I could never get anyone to open up to me. I think they are afraid for anyone to know they aren't really perfect.

Yeah right...

No one gives a rats ass. They ask, "is there anything I can do for you?" in the same manner Burger king asks if you want Fries or a coke with that.

Well, its pretty bad if they won't give you a rat's ass. I've got tons on my 4.2 acres, and you can have as many as you like. See, all Mormons aren't beasts.

I don't want to wear funky underwear.

I've always thought of them as a little more Motown, but that's just me.

I don't want my peers in my financial business.

Whatever that means, I'll take your word for it.

I don't want my children to have the stress.

Ritalin Ritalin Ritalin!

I don't think there is anything evil about coffee or tea.

Could you show me a scriptural reference or GA teaching where this is taught?

I am drinking a big glass of sweet tea right now.

I'm drinking a gallon of water in a plastic jug from Wal-Mart

I am done.

Wow, your first post on her thread an you are in your true form.

You are dog crap.

Don't listen to him twinkie, he has probably fallen off the wagon again... By far he is this board's most self righteous jack Mormon. A recovering alkie who is inactive...

Move along, nothing to see here...

Hey dumbass, try reading a few more posts before jumping to conclusions and you will see it was moved here to this forum by request of KA.

For the last 2 1/2 years, I've tried to be a Mormon. I got baptised, attended sacrament meetings and held a calling for a couple of months. I can't do it.

Being LDS can be tough. I believe it can be rewarding but it is tough and can be a demanding religion. It works for many but not for all. Perhaps a chat with someone you are close to in your ward might help. Even active members can have down time. Maybe a chat with your bishop?

Sacrament meetings with three children are too stressful. I can't say I've taken anything of value away from the meetings. I don't feel like a better person or mother.

I remember attending with my little ones and I was there with my wife. There were days I wondered if it was worth it as i hauled a crying child out. But my children that are now adults seem to have benefited from it.

All of my so called friends I can live without. I could never get anyone to open up to me. I think they are afraid for anyone to know they aren't really perfect.

I am sorry that this has been your experience. Opening up can be hard for some. Maybe you could initiate such discussions with your Relief Society pres or visiting teacher. Let them know how you feel.

No one gives a rats ass. They ask, "is there anything I can do for you?" in the same manner Burger king asks if you want Fries or a coke with that.

I do not agree with this. My experience is that most do really care and try to help as best they are able.

I don't want to wear funky underwear.

Can't help you with that one. If you understand the religious symbolism behind it you might feel different.

I don't want my peers in my financial business.

Nobody gets involved in your finances.

I don't want my children to have the stress.

To be alive is to have stress. Your children will have stress no matter what you do, LDS or not.

I don't think there is anything evil about coffee or tea.

Ok. I am sure you will not go to hell for drinking either.

That you feel compelled to disparage a stranger and her children on a personal level says far more about the level of your own fragility.

This wasn't the best of you, Loran.

Oh come on Jersey. This post is bait. I've been seeing this kind of thing here since this board's inception. The entire thing is pure natural gas.

Please...

Then you've been seeing it through blinders, Loran.
