When was the last time you fought for someone you truly care about?

Answer 1

"My x-wife has mental problems. I had to fight for all 3...she won the first fight. But after a few years the kids were abused by her and her boyfriend(s)...I finally got them out of there"

I don't appreciate you blaming this on "mental problems" as you call them this woman sounds like she was socially confused and acting out some anger at you for the bad marriage and divorce. Many people labeled or "mislabeled" with mental problems take good care of their children, and it is not fair to make it sound all one and the same. Because we are labeling this bad behavior that we see in others as a "mental illness" when it is not really an illness at all, it is a lack of good judgement on their part and can be cured easily enough most of the time by getting a person to see their behavior for what it is and having them to stop it, this does not take a little green pill, the little green pills only help to make this kind of behavior even more fun to do for the ones that like them and think they make them feel good, some of us know better and don't like these little green pills or their pushers that are pushing them on us. See I am fighting for people that I love already this morning because I love all people and want the best for all of us, I am fighting the silliness and corruption just by answering this question. I do it all the time.

Answer 2

I love this question.

Back in 1993 when I was stationed in Alaska with the military, my boss, knowing I was a Mormon, came into my office one day and started carrying on about how the Mormons has committed a massecre in southern Utah in the mid-1800s. I vehemently denied his allegations. "It never happened," I insisted.

Imagine my chagrin when I later discovered his allegations to be absolutely correct and that Mormons had in fact committed an act of genocide at Mountain Meadows so heinous that it could easily rival the Oklahoma City Bombing. I found this experience very troubling for a couple of reasons.

First was the obvious trauma of discovering Mormons, my people, had committed mass murder. Even more important to me was the utter dismay I felt at never having heard of this before my non-Mormon boss brought it up. How is it that after four years of high school seminary, a two year mission, four years at BYU, and countless Gospel Doctrine classes, I had never once heard about Mountain Meadows?

I mean the Church never seemed to have any problem talking about Haun's Mill. Why not Mountain Meadows? This experience launched me on a six year examination of my own religion that has led me to the unavoidable conclusion that institutional Mormonism is virtually incapable of telling the truth about its own history.

I am now thoroughly convinced that far, far more lies have been told in defense of Mormonism than than were ever told attacking it.

I truly care about the families slaughtered and swept under the rug, in Southern Utah.

Thanks for listening...

Answer 3

I'm in the process of doing that now. I was going to let it go at first, and then I realized that I'm only going to live once. The worst that can happen is I can be rejected. But if I'm in the situation to fight for them, chances are I already have been in one way, shape or form rejected. The only thing that can come of it is either a relationship, or personal experience. It's worth it everytime.

Answer 4

Perhaps, never, for I am a truly sensible person. It is another thing that I had to feign for some definite true reason. I care deeply for a person I truly love and care.

Answer 5

I cared about the safety of the people of our country. The warning issued to local T.V.stations 2 hours before Tsunami struck our country by me was ignored. I am still fighting to establish the truth of my claims.

Answer 6

My children in a divorce. My x-wife has mental problems. I had to fight for all 3...she won the first fight. But after a few years the kids were abused by her and her boyfriend(s)...I finally got them out of there. They thank me each day for what happened.
