You guys get to have an Easter Program? That would be so great. I wouldn't mind saying a few "Amens" and "Hallelujahs" from the congregation. Even if I didn't say them I would love to have that emotion to want to say them. I forgot about that RS book too. Mom3, I consider your words written on my he...

I miss love, concern and kindess for people over the rules and laws.

I miss individuality.

I am glad Nebraska is kinder than Idaho.I am of the opinion that religion is very cultural. I see you edited your post. Hopefully that didn't make you feel too paranoid. There are so many different reasons people are here. Blanket statements and the word "know" take a definition you may not have tho...

I have a great relationship with my parents. I have had some very distressing experiences lately regarding my church calling. My parents are more NOM than I ever realized. I have shared a few of my ideas as they have come up. She hasn't always agreed but I have been able to explain why I believe tha...

I can take the 'Craft Beer Church' over the 'Poledancing for Jesus' link I was sent awhile ago.

I'm with Hawk. Seems like they are trying to put a bandaid on a wound that needs stitches. I am trying to see the positive in the fact they are at least addressing the situation. As far as saving the women from attending another meeting...whatever. Where I come from, the more meetings the more right...
