approdis Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 It's not the best way, but i cant tell you what I think because I dont know you on the other side of the server. THerefore, you have to be really careful when talking about this subject. you don't know what someone might take it, and do something dumb. Mormons are gullible enough at it is... I dont want to make things worse.

I dont want to make things worse.Stick around long enough and you'll see that they aren't as gullible as you think, especially on this board. I'm not being insincere when I tell you this, I've never thought LDS were gullible but may have thought some stuck their head in the sand, no longer feel this way, thank the Lord! I think the LDS are deeper than that, they may seem gullible on the outside but you don't know where they've been in life, it may just be the way they cope or the way they're able to hold onto a faith based religion!

thesometimesaint Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 before, like does he try to stop them or how involved is he? Sometimes you hear about people who go through with it and get to the other side only to be told it isn't your time or get turned back here, yet others commit suicide stay deceasedHe can't violate our Agency. But he does tell us it is not a good idea. Whether we listen or not is another matter.
oh.de.marie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 My former Bishop tells me that God will not give you more than your shoulders can carry. I absolutely belive the God has more faith in me than I do myself.The Lord has a plan for us all. Who is to say that a suicides ending wasn't what was intended? The Lord know that the moment my children live this earth then I am right behind them.I don't judge. The person and the Lord are the only ones who know the trials He has put them through.
Kenngo1969 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 My former Bishop tells me that God will not give you more than your shoulders can carry. I absolutely belive the God has more faith in me than I do myself.That's often the case. All we can do is the best we can do. The Lord has a plan for us all. Who is to say that a suicides ending wasn't what was intended? The Lord know that the moment my children live this earth then I am right behind them.The Lord will judge us as mercifully as He can, and He knows the end from the beginning. But just because He knows the end from the beginning, that doesn't mean that we, with our finite perspectives, can do the same. In general, I believe that the Lord will still find another way to accomplish His purposes which He had intended to accomplish through me but could not because I chose to end my life prematurely. We're here to help one another grow, both by serving one another and by being served by others. I would hate to think that I missed out on being an instrument in His hands by ending my life prematurely. Would such a choice thwart His purposes permanently? No, but I would miss out on blessings I otherwise could have had. I don't judge. The person and the Lord are the only ones who know the trials He has put them through.Indeed. 1
bhive Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 We have gone through this in our own extended family. It's tough, and we all have thought about it -- but I know that the Saviour's atonement is infinite.. And it's His to give freely to those that need it. And I just need to focus on taking care of my own salvation and not worrying about someone else's so much.
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 It's sad, but I won't condemn anyone.It is the sin of taking a life and unless you are alone, not fair to those left behind. But some who kill themselves have lost the ability understand what they are doing. It is a very difficult topic.

But some who kill themselves have lost the ability understand what they are doing. It is a very difficult topic. this is part of my whole question about how could things get so bad that people lose the ability to make rational choices and ven then some of them may see suicide as a rational choice, life can be overwhelming and unrelenting at times as we all know

Some see it as mercy...they in so much pain someone has to end it.
