Discussion: A Conversation Between Fish-Hunter and Dopp

[tomspug]

A paste made from Taro, a very starchy vegetable common to the Pacific Islands. EDIT: In the Philippines, you might know taro as "gabi".

It is also the most tasteless thing ever made... And it's impossible to get in the states!

 

[Fish-Hunter]

hey you sound like me except that i have never been to the philippines. My wife is an american citizen but she was born in the Visayas and moved here when she was 4. where is your wife from?

I think you were responding ot Kung Fuzed. My wife was born in Baltimore. She's a haole (white in Hawaiian slang). Are you saying that your wife is from the Philippines like Kung Fuzed tall white Filipino? People from the Philipines tend to be Roman Catholic. Hey did you guys convert your wives to Mormonism? :sad4: I am Filipino, therefore all of our kids may look alike.

If you are talking about poi, you need to saturate it with sugar, othewise you are eating paste.

Seeing that in my post i had quoted Kung, i was clearly talkign to him.

You're a filipino, then why aren't you Roman Catholic?

My wife was Roman Catholic and she convered to the LDS faith by herself after we got married.

I do think about my past quite a bit, and the sovereign hand of God in my life. I do believe in generational Christianity. God seemed to have skipped a generation in my family. My parents were born in Hawaii. Three of my four Grandparents are from the Philipines and one of them converted to Protestantism from Roman Catholicism before migrating to Hawaii as young adults. My Grandmother on my mom's side was born in Hawaii and brought up Seventh Day Adventist. My Mom was brought up in a strict Protestant (Congregational) environment, and my Dad was a nominal Catholic but didn't go to church. My family stop going to a protestant church (Filipino Methodist Church) when I was in 3rd grade because we moved. My brother was a pro surfer, and we lived a wild pagan surfing partying life all through my youth, and young adult life in southern CA. I really wonder how I personally came back full circle to my Christian roots from my Mom's side, especially considering my personal life. I attribute everything to the grace of God, because I was spirituality blind as could be.

doesn't look like much has changed considering you walk aroudn with spiritual blinders to everything that contradicts what you think to be.

The only contradiction is between Mormons and non-believers. I didn't expect to find unity on this religious pluralism website. Here is the unity of the Historic Christian Faith:

We actually met on ldsmingle.com about six months after my divorce. I wasn't looking for someone so far away, but she sent me a smile and she was cute so we became friends. We emailed, chatted, and text messaged each other constantly every day for two and a half years before I could finally bring her into the country. I know it sounds crazy. I'm not one of those desperate old men looking for a concubine or servant. But when you find "the one" you'll do absolutely anything to be with her.

and i still have yet to click your links because i just really don't even care.

i suggest sticking to your own belief instead of trying to tear down others (no snickering Katz i learned my lesson)

Technically she's LDS. She hasn't been active in many years and is probably still on the books as being a member, but she doesn't express any interest in going back.

my Sympathies and prayers are with you and i hope that maybe one day you will return. Excommunication is not a condemnation, it is a relase of covenants to make repentance easier. we can always recover from wherever we are in life.

I'm suprised i was not excommunicated after my 5 years stint of inactivity. "ebaucherous fun" as you put it, and I am definitely not proud of it anymore. and realized that sometimes we have to learn from our own mistakes rather than the mistakes of others. I never lost my testimony, i just didn't want to "follow the rules" but then i learned that the rules are there to protect us from harms way, not to restrict us. they truely are to perfect us and have us reach our potential as Children of our heavenly father.
