The ...It has come up a lot since we moved to Ohio. The differences we've noticed between living in Utah vs. out. Of course none of them come to mind just now... Well, <BR/><A HREF="http://summervw.blogspot.com/2008/08/gentle.html" REL="nofollow">this</A> one is totally about it, actually...<BR/><BR/>and <A HREF="http://laughadaisy.blogspot.com/2008/09/signature-marjorie-pay.html" REL="nofollow">this</A>, kind of.<BR/><BR/>I dunno. My parents are actually a prime example of people living the culture, but not the religion. It starts with a little pride, then failure to truly repent. For some people it's easy to convince themselves that they aren't doing "that" bad simply because they are still adhering to relatively high standards. But really- it doesn't matter the justification- if we know we've got something to work on, and we have decided we aren't going to work on it, the spirit will leave until our heart changes, and meanwhile we get depressed.<BR/><BR/>It's easiest for Satan to work this particular plan on really intelligent people who can come up with really good justifications for everything.<BR/><BR/>And I think once his foot is in the door, the rest of the world and it's crazy theories (like antidepressants) seem to make a lot more sense. It's like looking at a stupid snake- <EM>repentance</EM>?? The <EM>atonement</EM>? Those are just Sunday School answers- pfft.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071001502153335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752643788415755849.post-49543961265060003512008-09-04T14:45:00.000-07:002008-09-04T14:45:00.000-07:00glad you got that out...julie :)glad you got that out...julie :)Saharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037349785716125741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752643788415755849.post-49175072072716313132008-09-04T14:42:00.000-07:002008-09-04T14:42:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Saharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037349785716125741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752643788415755849.post-26331453628876302252008-09-03T18:35:00.000-07:002008-09-03T18:35:00.000-07:00Can I just comment on the culture vs the religion?...Can I just comment on the culture vs the religion?.....Ok I will :) This is one of the biggest struggles I have with living in the state of Utah. Phwew I feel better....I really struggle with the mormon "culture" here because I find rarely does it have to do with the religion itself.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739895131898773920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752643788415755849.post-89083944419454376012008-09-03T14:40:00.000-07:002008-09-03T14:40:00.000-07:00mormon religion and utah culture...now that could ...mormon religion and utah culture...now that could be a fun topic. I agree, the culture here is not necessarily the religion. I am curious about your recent discovery with this. <BR/><BR/>and I totally get it about not putting my blog on your website, I'm not offended in the least. Besides we don't want you to get hazed! :)Saharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037349785716125741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752643788415755849.post-37233258630287598472008-09-03T12:09:00.000-07:002008-09-03T12:09:00.000-07:00Hee hee.

Sometimes they are exact opposites, which recent discovery shouldn't have surprised me so much. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of Mormon culture- thanks for adding me to your blog list- I was pretty durn flattered. I wanted to add you to mine long ago, but the people who would click it would haze me for actively referring them to a post with the F-word. (And not just the Mormons, either.) Yeeeesss I saw the warning at the beginning of the post- I'm stupid like that. ;)Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13071001502153335944noreply@blogger.com
