The consequences of living a non-valiant life in pre-existen

[_Franktalk]

I am bored, but what makes you say that?

In my belief system we come here so we are not bored. Maybe your life needs more problems to keep you from being bored.

I vote other people should have the problems and I can spend my time helping them.

Interesting that you said that. In my belief system there are a few basic types of people.

Those who wish to help others.
Those who wish to be served by others.
Those who wish to be left alone.

Ya I get joy out of helping others. There's this guy with Asperger's syndrome who annoys the Bishop with wanting to see him every week about issues, but I've offered to listen to his rants and problems for months now and he feels comfortable talking with me and happy that he doesn't have to keep bugging the Bishop. Trust me, these are things no one should worry about, but aspergers makes him worry so I reassure him he's alright and isn't going to lose his temple recommend.

Thanks Mak. The funny thing is I've been told by a Bishop before that some of my sins committed, that were influenced by my Tourettes and other mental conditions won't be held accountable against me at judgment.

I believe God takes EVERYTHING into consideration.

Which is a thing that helps me relax and should help other people feel better too.

As much as I'd love to argue for what is already scientifically and experientially obvious regarding anatomy and reproduction, I know that just as Mormons tend to want to believe only their own biases, same with others who have been fooled by BS.
But please, feel free to discuss your own perspectives of what medical books should say. ;)

Especially the pre-existence part.

Exactly. Have the coffee and tea plants remained firmly planted in the Gospel instead of providing quickie pick-me-ups for the enemy combatants in the Heaven War, we could readily enjoy a good mochaccino today and nourish & strengthen our bodies with needed antioxidants.

I was thinking about how ridiculous it is that some members have Dr. Pepper as part of their food storage, but then judge others for drinking coffee.
If you had the same moderate amount of both, coffee is much healthier.
Sugary carbonated drinks can mess up teeth (acidity and sugar) as well as other health issues, like obesity, bloating, dehydration (caffeine in coffee may too).

I've never heard any health benefits of drinking soda (only liabilities), unlike coffee.

I wonder what I did to be born with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, Depresison, and Anxiety.

Sounds tough, but were you really born with all of those?
For most people, mental and physical health problems don't present themselves until they're older.
As babies, we're born with brains that are only 1/4 developed, so we can adapt to environmental influences.
This may seem contrary to the Newtonian myth that the body is controlled by genes, as if it is a mechanical machine, but it is good news because if much of our problems come from environmental factors, we can manage them better, with lifestyle and other natural remedies.

What's helped me overcome depression and anxiety are
1) productivity
2) correcting cognitive distortions http://psychcentral.com/lib/15-common-c ... stortions/ (many of which I learned in my family and the church)

Newton had time between ducking apples to discover genes? Is there anything that guy couldn't do?

After the Obamaites confiscate your liberty, coffee might be what your compound's medical assistant appointee recommends for your right-sided heart failure, due it diuretic properties. If that is the case, just say no and go the way of the Bundy martyrs. It is better that you cross into the Exaltation Portal than to remain stained with the sin of coffee.
