Can you tell me what the throat slitting , heart cutting out, and disembowelment was suppose to be for? Was there a specific reason that was explained?

I really hope not much longer. Too many duped people who deserve to be able to think for themselves and haven't for too long

I like the one about "my ways being higher than your ways" (wording-?) and thoughts higher than yours and such and such. We apparently can't understand the reasons for all the controversial and senseles stuff because we don't have the sense to see what blessings come from them.

When you say "hope for an honest life," I know exactly what you mean. Its true, you don't have to pretend to feel anything you don't or try to.

My brother left to go to the MTC last wednesday. I tried to talk him out of it and for a while he said he wasn't going to go.. I knew he didn't want to. Everyone who he is close to and "trusts" were telling him it was something he'd always regret not doing and all that. He caved about a month later and now there he is. I told him all he had to do was say the word and I will send him a p

I was born into the church and for my entire life till I was 21 was too afraid to admit my doubts and lived in constant guilt about everything bc it was all I knew. When I finally got the confidence in my own feelings and thoughts to be honest I quit going and a year later started making decisions based on my own objectivity and desires. Now I am a bit wild I guess because I'm not use to being ab
