EllenMaksoud Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Why do people need permission to do this kind of thing? If you want to do it and are prepared to live with the consequences do it!We are such timid creatures. When I first became Mormon, I thought it was pretty much like Islam with out Hijab. I was afraid to disobey. Now I am pretty adapted to it and really sassy at times.

Calm Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I think the mod was talking about post 24 actually....
The Grimace Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Debate doesn't belong in this folder. Back on track please.SkyllaMy apologies - the OP was originally in the General Discussions forum - perhaps it can be moved back? It seemed odd that it was moved to the Social Hall in the first place.
EllenMaksoud Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Oh, I remember the point of this thread. Why is it that we seem to skate the edge of sinfulness?
The Grimace Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Oh, I remember the point of this thread. Why is it that we seem to skate the edge of sinfulness?Well, we can't talk about that in this forum, so you'll need to start a new discussion in the general forum.
EllenMaksoud Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Well, we can't talk about that in this forum, so you'll need to start a new discussion in the general forum. It was in the general forum, what happened?
The Grimace Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 It was in the general forum, what happened?I'm guessing a mod moved it because they thought you were focussing on Islam instead of Mormonism.
sweetpotatoh Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 First, let me say this: many, if not the majority of, people use alcohol without getting involved in prostitution.Second, a Mormon rumspringa would show young people that a life without arbitrary religious rules may actually be liberating and may not work out in favor of the church.Wickedness never was happiness.

Bill “Papa” Lee Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Not actually recommending a lost year, just frustrated.Taking it both ways rather than fear not understanding either.
EllenMaksoud Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Taking it both ways rather than fear not understanding either.I am perhaps going to sound like a teenager for a moment. Sometimes, I am told, or scripture says that I should do something that is probably backing up what I am told It makes me feel angry and argumentative in spite of the fact that inside I know I will obey. It still feels like I want to throw a fit and yell at someone for a while. It is not clear to me why I don't just do what I should do. I just want to fight about it for a while. In one recent case, I am now obeying and wondering why I fought it.

EllenMaksoud Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 You are not alone with such feelings.You mean that there are other emotional, volatile, drama queens out there?
