I would love to serve a mission with my wife. I am not sure she will want to go.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

The wife said she doesn't want to do it and I picture my retired life of just living in shorts and flip flops and only changing into something else when I go for a ride or go golfing. I could never put on one of those name tags again, I hated that part of it. I'm lucky I didn't go later on when they were required to wear them on their coats, their gym clothes, on P day, in the shower, in bed and everywhere else.

My wife wants to go, so in 20 years we will probably go. I could see doing what my parents are currently doing; living in France in a beautiful area and visiting about 1 family a day. They also do apartment inspections, so they drive all over the Loire valley and Brittany and stay in B&Bs and visit chateaus.

"Is the floor an appropriate place for the garment of the priesthood?" "Would Jesus leave dishes in the sink?" were a couple of good ones I remember but my all time favorite was "Thr Lord loves a clean toilet!". I really wish I'd have kept some of these.( FYI I most likely wrote that incoherently and will be properly corrected forthwith. Thanks)

Makes me glad it was MP's wife who found my Jean Michel Jarre cassette tape. She just gave me a look of pity."...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Yes you are seeing it right this apartment does not have a fridgeThe stench is not the devil farting... its everybody burning their garbage and used toilet paper in their yards.the garbage can in the shower is for when the water turns back on so we can save some for showers and flushing the toilet"Be a philosopher.

Ha ha. Apartment inspections! That's rich. Never had an apartment inspection my whole mission. And no we didn't have maids, but I did have rats in one apartment.
I do remember one crazy native sister missionary who arrived at the sister's apartment late at night as part of a transfer, and then spent the whole night cleaning the apartment. Those sister's didn't get along very well.Last edited by Sullyute; 11-14-2014, 08:36 AM."Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.
