Wow, iWitness! You've touched upon some excellent topics for pondering. I have not yet read all of the responses - I had jump to the bottom and hurry and post a couple of thoughts.
We knew a woman who never watched TV, except for General Conference. She never read any books, except the scriptures and lesson material from church. No movies. and on and on. She never preached to anyone else about what they "should" or "should not" do. She just quietly followed her own course. My wife asked her one time why she was this way. She responded that life was too short to waste on things that didn't matter. One more thing about her. She could pray miracles like no one I've ever seen. She prayed for a new washer, she could only afford $150 for it, and could it please match her dryer in color? A couple of days later, she got exactly what she asked for. There were many other examples of her prayers being answered precisely and quickly. It was amazing. This woman became ill with cancer and passed away very rapidly. But she was completely at peace during her illness, and she knew she would never recover. She was okay with that. She was completely ready! She has been one of our biggest inspirations in life.
I have an aunt who we believe has had her calling and election made sure, and we believe she is among the Church of the Firstborn. She won't come out and tell us in so many words, but we have reasons to believe it. I was visiting her home one time and asked her about a television show she had on. She replied, "Oh, its just something on the public broadcasting channel. That's the only channel a person in my position is allowed to watch!"
I had to get those two things written for some reason. Now I will go back up and read the many responses to your post.
Oh - I understand completely why you enjoy the Elliaison site so much. It and one other one are my favorites.
