Hi everyone,
I have a strong background in law, so the idea of appealing to a higher instance is completely normal to me, not only in the legal system but also in corporate and administrative environments.

Something I've observed in the church, especially during my years as a clerk, is the practical impossibility of appealing to higher leaders if local leaders mess up. I imagine this happens to "avoid speaking evil of the Lord's anointed" and to unconditionally "support the leadership." I say this because a member's experience often feels like a game of Russian roulette depending on whether they get a competent and fair immediate leader (like a bishop, stake president, or mission president).

Does anyone know why this difficulty in appealing exists in the church?

Not too long please read ;)

I have wrestled with questions about my testimony for several years now. Difficult experiences both personal and within my immediate circle have left me struggling to trust Church leaders. My patriarchal blessing occupies an equally ambiguous space in my spirituality. I remember the feelings I had the day I received it, yet I cannot see it as genuinely relevant to my life today or my future.

Being the only member of my family offers little support, and at 30s, I sometimes feel like a “second class” member in my ward. Regarding marriage, I feel profoundly frustrated. Despite improving my appearance and financial situation, traveling to several places around the world, and learning languages, I have no one with whom to share these experiences. I followed every guideline to be a worthy bearer of the priesthood and serve an honorable mission, but I never managed to build lasting relationships. I have always treated every woman I’ve been involved with the attention, courtesy, and consideration that a daughter of God deserves, yet it seems never enough. And yes I’m the kind of guys who brought flowers and chocolate with poems.

I suspect this confluence of factors has caused me to view the Church more as a “checklist” than as something that will truly make a difference in my future. Perhaps I’m simply exhausted and disillusioned. Or perhaps it’s all of that together lol.

I continually return to Doctrine and Covenants 64:32–34 and Psalm 73:25–28, and Proverbs 3:5–10 and Alma 5:26. I fast monthly and daily prayer.

Thanks for reading my small testamnent.

Sou H, 25, boa aparência e treinado. Do tipo nerd definido. Sempre tive interesse em fazer com um casal HM mas nunca tive oportunidade por não saber onde procurar. Alguém saberia dizer onde encontrar?

Fala pessoal. Ouvi falar que o curso de engenharia e o de CC na Unifor são muito bons. Algum de vocês faz esses cursos lá ou conhece alguém que estudou?
Pelo que vi com meu irmão, as disciplinas parecem bem boas e é o melhor curso de CC do Brasil. Vi que a estrutura é ótima.
Uma amiga comentou que os contatos que são feitos durante a faculdade são muito bons, como a universidade é muito boa, acaba abrindo oportunidades de networking.

Fala galera!
Essa semana fui promovido a PM, antes era QA. Estava muito feliz na minha função técnica, pouquíssimo contato com cliente, aprendendo sobre automação e uso de ia de maneira bem intensa. A vida era boa.
Fui recomendado por um PM sênior para um programa de PM assistente pq ele gostou mt do meu desempenho quando trabalhou comigo e outro PM que trabalhei tb gostou e um dos sócios me chamou pra conversar, topei a proposta e o sócio me falou que levaria mais de 1 mês para isso acontecer. Levou apenas 2 semanas para ele me chamar e explicar que agora eu estaria como PM assistente em um projeto (que é um dos maiores da empresa).
Fui jogado de paraquedas. O que é chato é ter que atender expectativa de cliente, alinhar time interno, conduzir daily…
Alguém tem alguma dica de como sobreviver a isso sem pegar um burnout?
