I am 14 years old, an ordained minister at my church and in my jurisdiction. I started preaching when I was about 12, and I dont know why I did it, I just wanted to be up there and make people happy. Things have changed since then, and Ive realized by following a "religion" [christian], this has been turned into a chore instead of a blessing. I love God, and I always will, but I feel like this isnt for me. Everyone, however, when they hear me speak tell me that "God has a calling on my life and I shouldnt waste it". God talks to me too. Im missing everything he has to offer BY holding onto something thats not meant for me, and I feel like theres no out. Can someone help me prepare myself for that final say so, that I dont want to teach, but instead listen to the word?

I was just wondering what we seniors think about it.By now we have covered quite some distance in life and some time or the other would have paused to ask the question : What really is the meaning of life? Has anyone here got any satisfactory answer to that? For my part, I have realized that I understand NOTHING. Life is an enigma, a puzzle 'full of sound and fury signifying nothing'. Even that cliche that you live for others doesn't mean much for any unselfish act (including charity) gives you only a momentary pleasure. It is not an everlasting fulfilling feeling. What would YOU think about it?

Thanks, I didnt see this category til today. I'm from the states. I followed coverage of Diana from the day of her wedding until the day she died. Still feel a great loss. Anyway...since Cammilla was "the other woman" and interfered terribly in the marriage of Diana and Charles, or perhaps Charles used innocent and unaware Diana to 'front' a phoney marriage while all along in love w Camilla-why has Camilla been embraced and accepted when she was once very much disdained? It seems so wrong and crazy!

Now I'm not saying whether these are right or wrong, I just want to hear what Mormons have to say about these things.

1. Mormons don't believe in Christ or atleast deny his divinity
2. Rev 22:19 means Mormons have added to the Bible.
3. Mormons practice polygamy
4. Mormons believe we are saved by works
5. They don't study or believe in the Bible
6. Mormons are racist, you only let whites in your church.

Please answer with evidence not assumptions and extremely biased stuff thanks.

What have you, or someone you know, mistranslated? After I see some of yours I'll contribute a couple of my own.

I am pretty fluent in spanish, strictly speaking. But I don't hear enough conversations to know what people REALLY say, outside of the textbooks and movies and stories I've read. I'd like some things to say to my son (3 months old) in Spanish. Please no babelfish/etc. translations - that's not what i'm looking for. I want genuine examples! (e.g., a mom saying, Oh, !que linda nene! Things like that)
