confusion
mr jack mormon said something to me the last time he petitioned me for some pre marital shenanigans that i found very curious indeed. "you sure do love yourself, dont you?" is the comment he made to me. initially, i took it as the insulting barb he intended it to be, but after about two seconds of being pissed off, i replied, "how is it that you confuse self respect with conceit and self importance?" he had no reply, of course. he generally doesnt when i make a valid point that is contrary to his. i was just saying "no." not "hell no, you heathen, unscrupulous pig! i am far too good for you. i am pure and you are just filth." i dont even think that. i think some of the points he makes about premarital sex are valid. maybe even smart. if you are only considering the secular aspects of his argument. while i see some of his points, they are trumped by the spiritual. he just doesnt get it. i take that back. he does. he gets it just fine, he just rejects it and by doing so, rejects me. he disagrees with me-says i am rejecting him. sigh.

Still confused on why you're talking to him. Why you're not clearly rejecting him.
ReplyDeletesounds like he's not really a keeper. Too bad for him.
ReplyDeletedefinitely not. at least not now and not ever for me. just more embarrassing, but true fodder for the blog :)
ReplyDeleteblain-not still talking to him. this is somewhat of a continuation of the post i wrote a little while back about mr jack mormon contacting me again. we hadnt spoken in months.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Time frame wasn't clear as to whether this was the same "last time I talked to him." I continue to think that rejection with extreme prejudice is warranted.
ReplyDeletelol. i have heard the term "extreme prejudice" before and got the jist, but i looked it up. they mention assassination in the definition! for mr jack mormon, i dont think using that term is an overreaction at all. i just dont get why people cant be decent. i really dont think its too much to ask, but apparently i am wrong.
ReplyDeleteDid you listen to Elder Holland's talk Saturday afternoon?
ReplyDeletenot yet, but i heard it was fantastic. what did you think of it?
ReplyDeleteI liked it. I see in it another step on getting realistic when talking about the Law of Chastity. He spends time talking about preventative things, and also in talking about having hope in facing a sexual addiction. There's still a bit of a gap in understanding that "just walk away" isn't a comprehensive solution to addictive behavior, but it's very difficult to get that across to people who haven't faced it. But it's orders of magnitude better than Miracle of Forgiveness, which is all about shaming people into repenting.
ReplyDeletei have never read the miracle of forgiveness-back in the day it was "assigned" to those seeing the bishop for counseling regarding sins of immorality. i heard a lot of feedback about how scary it was to read it.
ReplyDeletei am sooooo glad the church is getting more realistic about addictions in general, but sexual addictions specifically. it is reeking havoc on the lives of so many members-in unprecedented numbers. its scary.
Yep. The Church has a pretty good new site about dealing with porn. I don't know that it's state-of-the-art, but it's pretty good overall.
ReplyDeletedo you know the name of it? i was trying to tell someone about it, but couldnt remember the name of the program.
