  1. Because as I think Mason stated above. As humans, ambition often leads to destruction and evil wishes. Ambition can be good, but a thirst for power is most often not. Pairing the two together is often what results in destruction and what is bad. It's not necessarily the urge to better ourselves society or people look down on. It's the pairing of ambition and thirst for power. The pairing of ambition and humility or charity or love is a much better pairing/grouping. This can result in self improvement along with the ability to stay morally pure. As well as being looked at as a good person. Helping others is often as good a way to improve yourself as going after power, even better probably. This is where religion comes in really handy, because a lot of religions acknowledge that serving others is better for self improvement than serving yourself.
  2. No, you're perfectly fine to ask. We all understand the confusion. It's just not representative of our religion. Joseph Smith (Our first prophet in the latter-days) translated a book which is titled the Book of Mormon. So people called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the Mormons because it was shorter (hence easier to say). We've been told it is better to use the longer version because it represents our beliefs better. Mormon was a prophet in the olden days, sort of like Moses or Noah. We don't worship Mormon, that's why you hear people say, "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" to correct someone saying Mormon (in a terribly written nutshell).
  3. Patriarchal blessings are awesome. The revelations or whatever in them kind of shift (in your own perception) to apply to the current you. I love mine. Definitely worth reading every week to feel the spirit and feel that knowledge that God is there watching you.
  4. I now gather quotes from dying people. Yaay.
  5. I loved General conference, also Lol. I was thinking of myself.
  6. I got this wonderful email from the one and only green bird. I feel mocked.
  7. I missed a lot of today's general conference, but I'll go back and listen to it. They put it on Spotify like a podcast, so there's like an entire podcast of 2 hour spiritual messages since forever ago, it's awesome.
  8. Lol. Idaho right now is definitely winter part 2. I'd say where I live in Idaho we have winter, winter part two, cool summer, summer, then fall. (cool summer being the end of spring where the snow's finally melted) The beginning of fall is personally my favorite, just because it isn't freaking hot, but it also isn't cold.
  9. Apple cider vinegar is a good idea. I think you're right. We normally put in around a teaspoon of vinegar in a bit less than a cup of milk and let it sit and mix for a few minutes.
  10. I don't think we need updates. Unless you are a man now, and no longer a boy. JUST LIKE ME. I AM A MAN!
  11. Don't worry. I'm on the rocket. Just didn't have time to say so.
  12. Still a really great one. I didn't fully read the one before so it was good you re-posted it kinda.
  13. Anyone have some good clean-ish recommendations for like classic books. I need some books to read to improve my understanding of writing. Stuff like The old man and the sea. Classic good stuff that isn't inappropriate.
  14. "I hath been summoned and will do as our leader wishes. I would love the opportunity to give logical reasoning and listen to wonderful jazz."
  15. I'm gonna change my Profile Photo for a little while than I'll go back to pumpkin dude. There's a lot of freaking snow outside.

  16. True. I just had no idea what to do when I went to TLT, and so I just stuck to reading it and going to other places. Now we have the MPI. I like reading the rando chaos in TLT though.
  17. Me too. I was more praising the MPI. I rank TLPW higher than TLT because it's easier to get into but idk.
  18. "I will immediately begin surveying the surveillance footage to see if there are any clues to where The Traitor could have gone." "Oh right. @Being of Cacophony needs a purpose. Hmmmm. It's likely Bookwyrm went to do something with NASA. I'm not much of an action man. I'm merely a logistics person."
