i ditched the mormon, the way he spoke to me was not ok. plus, im prtty sure that he thinks women are here to serve men. f that. i will serve no one. ok, maybe my mom, but that's it. the rest of you can serve yourself.
everything else here is just dandy. im obsessed with hiking now, and try to go 5 times a week. it's an intense work out, and who knows what this mad fitness streak will lead to.
i love arizona.
i did not love this message:
"f you wanna some sex by webcamera, just wright me: cz1000 AT mail.ru and we will spend very good and tender evening together"
wtf? i never get messages, and now i get this? can someone send me a nice friendly message so it can negate that one? please.
here's a pic of the place where i hike:
you can't quite say that (e:jenks) is 100% false (e:joshua). Mormons really do believe that God was once like us and we can be like him. In other words the possibility for god-hood does exist, with the possibility of "ruling your own planet". And while women may be "equal" and "sealed" to their husbands, there is a very strong tradition of women taking on a woman's role (ie: mother, housekeeper) and deferring to the husband's judgement in most other areas. Again, not all Momos are like that, but it's there. An example is that only men can enter into the Priesthood, which bestows them with powers (offering blessings and healing by laying on of hands, etc.) that women cannot have. Also, the organizational structure of the chirch puts the men into the priesthood and women into what's called the "relief society" where, in my experience, they baked cookies and organized events. Every Sunday after the main service the men go to one room to discuss priestly matters and the women go into another to plan the next bake sale (to be honest, they may do other things too, as a boy I was never allowed in there).
Jenks - having a Mormon for an uncle I can tell you that this is 100% unequivocally false and probably came from someone who is totally ignorant of religion let alone the wild and wacky world of Mormonism!
The truth is that Mormons believe strongly in the concept of God's house "having many mansions" as Jesus says in the Bible. What they are referring to are different levels of heaven that people get slotted into depending on how well, pious they've been. The idea that women are not spiritual equals is false. Its incredibly important for Mormons to be "sealed" in heaven with their wife or husband - its a bond similar to marriage except more intense: when they say forever, they really mean forever. When my grandpa died it was important for my uncle to seal my grandpa and grandma before he actually passed on. I see it as his own religious imposition on a man who thought Mormonism was silly and crazy up to the day of his death, but whatever.
i've been meaning to look it up to confirm it, b/c all the mormons I know are SUPER nice, but someone was telling me that they believe that when they die they go to their own special PLANET and rule it, and that women can't go to their planets til their men "call them" there.
WTF?! sounds redic, hope it's not true...
be careful on them trails ho! I wanna go hiking when I come visit.... maybe less of an intense workout for me and more of a fat bastard wobble down the hill with a bottle of wine though?
