Let me put things into perspective here, setting this ALL straight. Sorry for getting this off topic but this has needed to be said a long long time ago......
First Hubba good luck on the elk hunt. Knowing you've rode your bicycle to the moon an back on you mission, your in top shape, that with being able to hunt 10 days is a recipe for success! I bet you whack a giant! Again good luck!
Next, I guess a guy like me needs one of those optirecticals also. If that means taking this particular religion, and sledge hammering it in my ass. The way I see it, it couldn't hurt because its been crammed down my throat for the last 7 years, so might as well take it in the other end also. Here's why.
I moved to the LDS Mecca 7 years ago. The town of 5000 people where I came from had 1LDS church, and for the most part, no one really cared where I spent my Sundays. Spent most my life in that town, an just believing in a higher calling an going to church was all that mattered. Cant believe a town like that exists like that just 500 miles to the north west of here. But believe me it does.
Now life here isn't NO where near the same. I have 5 LDS churches within 5 miles of my home here, in this town of 5000. I'm regularly asked which ward, stake, I belong to ( no idea what any if that means), how many kids I have, if I am LDS, just to name a few, an that on a damn near daily basis(thought it was just me, but the wife gets it also). So, being LDS truly matters out here. Hell you got people claiming to be a jack Mormon for Christ sake just so they can somewhat feel like they belong. NEWS FLASH.... There isn't any other religion that does that, and never will ! (Sorry elk assassin). But it's true.
So my guess is (speaking for elkun) he was probably caught in a weak moment, an needed to vent, because like me he knows it matters to be LDS. That's why the OP said so, an why he even attached a a photo proving it .
So, if I've lost any friends stating the above, an setting the record straight, I'm truly sorry. I'm hoping I have 1 friend left to help me with my non resident south west dessert elk tag someday when I draw. I know I'll b lucky, because I sure the hell won't be blessed according to the masses on this site.
Elkun sorry if I have you all wrong. It just might be me that needs the sledge-hammering in the keester.
