    I have recently begun showing up at church. I have little shared beliefs but I enjoy feeling the consistency of my upbringing.

          Let us know when the bishop calls you in and tells you how much tithing you should be paying.

            You clearly did not overlap with me and my leadership of the mighty, highest-baptizing-in-Europe, portugal lisboa missĂŁo sul...I personally averaged mor baptisms per month for a six month stretch than the losers in missĂŁo Lisboa norte.

              what years were you in that mission? one of my best friends served there. He also spent time in Cabo Verde.

                99.99% sure that's never gonna happen. Can't deny the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

                  A bit off topic but I find it strange that so many inactives or apostates talk about their mission performances so many years later. I'm not limiting that to CUF nor am I picking on just the two of you by the way.

                  In my experiences with apostate siblings and friends it seems to be a recurring theme; whether it's recounting the number of baptisms they had or how strictly they followed the rules or how much their mission president loved them, etc. It's odd considering their otherwise indifference to the church.

                          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                            No, my friend was not Elder Green.

                              We had a GA come to our stake a few years back who spoke a lot about Russia and loved to say Vladivostok. He told us that several Russian mission presidents had died young and that it may well have been because Russian speakers who were strong in the gospel were needed to teach in the spirit world. He was not joking.

                                you can't be serious.

                                On second thought, this type story is entirely appropriate, even necessary, for a thread that Sooner started.

                                Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.
