P.C. The Second sentence in the quote is wrong. He waa told to join none, because they were all wrong ----. We believe that a great apostacy occurred which over hundred of years introducted many errors and into the original church. These conditions, merited the reestablishment of the original church. Much of the same gospel doctorine remains the same as originally appeared, there are however some differences which include the way we view the trinity. This difference sets us apart. We do however believe in Jesus Christ and accept him as our savior, and his teachings, so it puzzling to me that somehow we are viewed as non-christian. It always boils down to whose definition of Christians is to be used when the evaluation takes place.

Yes, as a matter of fact I did, but like all good quotes, they are worth repeating.

Pale: Not long ago we had a potluck supper at the church and someone had fixed green jello but they had real whip cream to put on top. I ate some.

Your absolutely correct. He would never condemn someone else for making a different decision. The only way I found out he felt this way was that I asked him if he had any bites on leasing a particuliar building I knew he owned and had been sitting vacant for a bit. By the way, he still is my home teacher and we have been friends for years. I admire him a lot.

I know of a Stake President that owned real estate that would not rent or lease any of his commericial real estate for the purposes of selling either tobacco or alcohol. He felt that he should set an example for rightousness rather than be a lightning rod for criticism if he had.

1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!' I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye... 2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?' 3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?' 4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond=2 0and I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!' 5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo and I said, 'No, how are we alike?'' You're both very old,' he replied. 6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's PC. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read. 7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!' 8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.' 9. When my grandson asked me how old I20was, I teasingly replied, 'I'm not sure.' 'Look in your underwear,Grandpa,' he advised. 'Mine says I'm four to six.' 10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies? ''It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.' 11.. Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child.' 12. A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.' They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child. 'No,' said another. 'He's just for good luck.' A third child brought the argument to a close. 'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants.

If the first husband died and was not a member, then he would go to the spirit world awaiting someone to do his temple work by proxy. The sister who is a worthy member and was sealed to her 2nd husband via temple marriage would be with him for time and eternity. The first husband would have no claim on his wife in the eternities. If the first husbands work is performed by proxy, he will be given the opportunity to accept or reject it. If he accepts it, then has a chance in the millenium to find a mate, if he doesnot accept it, he will not be allowed in the highest kindgom in the celestial world.

I went today but then I go every Sunday.

Husband Down A Husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies. 'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband. 'It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,’ replies the wife. Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.' On the PA system: 'Cleanup needed on aisle 25, we have a husband down.

Las vegas churches accept gambling chips!!! This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in las vegas , but there are more catholic churches than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby franciscan monastery for sorting and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in. This is done by the chip monks. You didn't even see it coming did you ?

An EXTREME Redneck When... 1. You let your 14-year-old daughter smoke at the dinner table in front of her kids. 2. The Blue Book value of your truck goes up and down depending on how much gas is in it. 3. You've been married three times and still have the same in-laws. 4. You think a woman who is out of your league bowls on a different night. 5. You wonder how service stations keep their rest-rooms so clean. 6. Someone in your family died right after saying, 'Hey, y'all, watch this.' 7. You think Dom Perignon is a Mafia leader. 8. Your wife's hairdo was once ruined by a ceiling fan. 9. Your junior prom offered day care. 10. You think the last words of the Star-Spangled Banner are 'Gentlemen, start your engines.' 11. You lit a match in the bathroom and your house exploded right off its wheels. 12. The Halloween pumpkin on your porch has more teeth than your spouse. 13. You have to go outside to get something from the fridge. 14. One of your kids was born on a pool table. 15. You need one more hole punched in your card to get a freebie at the House of Tattoos. 16. You think loading the dishwasher means getting your wife drunk.

Returning to the original question. I have yet to read where anyone has posted Church direction, scripture reference etc. where animals cannot or should not be blessed by the Holy Priesthood. If one of my children ask me to give our sick or injured dog a blessing so it would get better, I wouldn't hestitate a bit to do it. In fact, I might even suggest it, to illustrate and teach a point.

Susie: In my view, you have reached a point where you need to do whats best for you and your kids (if any). That may mean that you take the next step and either file for a legal seperation, ask him to leave, or you leave. Meanwhile, you need to mend/heal your broken spirit by doing everything you can to live the Gospel, etc.. Perhaps, there are support groups for women in similiar situations that you can take advantage of in your local area. You indicate your Bishop/Stake President do not support your position which leads me to believe there is more to the story.

THE TINY CABIN ..... A social worker from a big City in Massachusetts recently transferred to the Mountains of North Carolina and Georgia and was on the first tour of her new territory when she came upon the tiniest cabin she had ever seen in her life. Intrigued, she went up and knocked on the door. 'Anybody home?' she asked. 'Yep,' came a kid's voice through the door. 'Is your father there?' asked the social worker. 'Pa? Nope, he left afore Ma came in,' said the kid. 'Well, is your mother there?' persisted the social worker. 'Ma? Nope, she left just afore I got here,' said the kid. 'But,' protested the social worker, 'are you never together as a family?' 'Sure, but not here,' said the kid through the door, this is our outhouse!"

The difference is that the contents of the W of W were given by inspiration and are a commandment. The inclusion of Habenera etc. are not. However, that alone does not prevent one from excersising good judgement. Word to the wise - don't ever try to include forbidding the partaking of ice cream or cookies, into the W of W, that is when it may start me to consider changing religions. Hum! Wonder how Haberera Topping would be as an ice cream topping??

Geez, you ruined my vision of a ripple cut(6 pack abs) extremly bald headed fat person. But welcome anyway since your a Cornhusker fan. We lived in Omaha for many years and attended many a Cornhusker game at Lincoln.

Your boss is indeed flirting with danger and compliance with Government regulations specificially created to prevent this type of behavior in the workplace. Having said that, it still can be a worrisome matter for the employee as you indicate. My counsel which is my expiernce of being a supervior, manager and ultimately member of upper mgmt for a Fortune 500 company would be this. As suggested by georgia2, become acquainted with the laws governing sexual harrasment in the workplace, these can easily be obtained by search of the goverment website. You do not indicate whether or not your boss has a boss etc. or whether he is the top officer of the company. You likewise do not indicate whether or not you have a personell department, so my advise assumes this is a small company. It sounds like his behavior is simply at this point flirtatous and has not reached a quid for pro point. My next recommendation would be to start to document each and every incident that occurrs for the next few months. Including your responses. If he leaves you any notes, text messages, phone mails etc. , save them and keep them in a safe place (not at work). Do not keep anything in your desk that may be visible to others. Documument rumors that you hear indicating previous violations by other employees (who may be called later as witnesses). Dress modestly and act appropriatly always at work. Be careful, when discussing his behavior with others. The reason for this is that your discussion may find its way back to him which could lead for early dismissal for some unrelated event. Here is a website that will give you some good information. http//sexual-harassment.org/ While I personally have never had to answer for a personal sexual-harrassment charge, I have investigate several employees as a result of charges brought against them by another employee under my supervision. I have met with government as well as Company compliance officers over the behavior of employees. Some superviors and mgrs. were found to be accussed falsely by a subordinate, others were found to be in violation of company and either dismissed, demoted, and/or transferred. Each case is weighed on the merits of the case and that is why good documentation is necessary. To accuse someone without proof can be damaging as well to that individual and may affect him or her permantly both at home and the workplace. If your boss is accelerating his behavior then it shouldn't take long for you to document it and gather suffiecent information to start this process. Keep in mind that if he has a boss, once you report it to his boss it, the cats out of the bag, and legally his boss has to do something about it. If your boss denies any culpiability, then it becomes a situation where its your word against his. That is the purpose of gathering some evidence and documentation prior. Which by the way should include anyone you contact concenring this matter etc. including his boss, government, etc.. I cases where, I personally was contact by a female in our organization concerning this type of behavior of an employee under my supervision, I immediatly called the indivual in and discussed it with them. I wanted to give them an opportunity to respond and give their side of the story. Additionally, reviewed the Company and Government guidelines for this to ensure they understand and are aware of these. I then called the female back in and advised them of the results of my meeting. They were encouraged to advise me in person if any further problems were incurred including retibution for them making a complaint. I then documented all of this, sending a copy to Human Resources, and a copy to the accussed employee. I never had a second occurrance from the same employee. Assuming once again, this man has a boss, then once you have some documentation etc. I would ask to meet personally with his boss. If possible take a trusted friend with you. Relay what has been happening as well as how you have handled these to date. That your efforts to do your work safely and free of harrassment is beyond your control and ask for his help. Make sure you indicate you like your boss, you like working for him, you just are not interested in anything else but being allowed to do the job you are hired to perform. I would also encourage you to request a follow up meeting so that you may be appraised of what action has been taken. Be advised though, your boss will no doubt be called in, chewed out, etc.. It will not be uncommon for him to respond to you in a very different way in the future. By that I mean very business like. Hope this helps

I strongly believe in the power of the Priesthood. My question would be "Why would one doubt that you couldn't give your animal a blessing? Why would this be any different than Blessing a baby. Does the baby have strong faith at the time it is being blessed?

What I do? Get up a 6:00 am, watch news, go back to bed at 6:30 Get up at 7:00am, shower, shave, read scriptures, Play on Computer from 8:30am to 9:30 (Note: still have not talked to my bride cause she is a monster in early am.) Do inside or outside honey do's till 11:30 am, then see if bride wants to go have a little lunch somewhere (includes our dog) Bride arises around 8:00 - 8:30, goes in bathroom for 1 hours, emerges all beautiful, dressed, and ready to do her house chores, until 11:30 am, when then approached by terrified husband( hoping she is ready for verbal intercourse that early). We then discuss where to to go for lunch in area. ( Our Dog likes tacos, so always votes the same everyday.) While eating lunch, decide if we want to do anything special or return to home until 12:30pm In afternoon I nap until 2:00 pm, wife works on hobbies. or We do our home teaching, visiting teaching, or go to Walmarts etc. in afternoon after lunch.. Upon returning home, wife returns to hobbys, I work on church work, wash cars, etc. if any, until 5:00 If in summer, we go boating after 4:00 pm for 1 hr., return home, eat lite supper at 5:00pm. which bride fixes. We both read or I play on computer until 6:00 pm. We watch T.V. until 10:00, meanwhile I am sleepy, too tired to talk much, bride wants to discuss world events, kids, moon tides, and any other subject voices in her head wisper to her. I sneak off to bed between 9:30pm and 10:00pm. Wife picks up house at 10:00pm, quietly goes in bathroom, emerges at 11:00pm, get into bed, turns on light in my eyes so she can read. I roll over away from piercing rays of light, cover head while grumbling under breath, fall back to sleep. Wife continues to read until 12:00 midnite with piercing light rays able to penetrate sheet and blanket over my head. Finally at 12:00 to 12:30 room goes dark. all is well, everyone is happy. 1:30 pm, trusty dog hears deer, racoons, ducks, geese, possums, etc. outside feeding on feed left out by bride for poor hungry critters earlier in day. Dog starts barking to protect us from things that go bump in the nite outside feeding. Wakes me up, I yell multiple times at dog, dog relunctanly returns to bedroom, lies down in guard position still growling in low tones, and goes to sleep. WIfe covers head, plays deaf and dead from 12:30 am until 8:00 - 8:30 am. Process repeats itself every few hours until 6:00 am. for me and our dog. Early Retirement is good.

My counsel would be to humble yourself before the Lord. Listen carefully to the Bishop, set about putting your house in order and obeying the commandments. Master these line by line, precept upon precept. Master the Basics, the Lord will take care of the rest.

LM: I am not sure that I agree but I do understand the point you are making. I for one have had the expierence of witnessing an evil person. How do I know this person was evil? Because I heard a still small voice of warning to cease talking to this person and leave immediatly which I did. A few weeks later this individual was charged with Sodomy, Sexual Abuse, and Spousal Abuse. He also later was charged with embezzlement and financing inproprietys He ended up in prison for several years. The Lord gives us a way to recognize evil. (whether it be a gift, situation, spirit, or person) Moroni 7: 15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to ajudge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night. 16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do aevil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him. 18 And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the alight by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same bjudgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.

In my view, we believe as LDS that the family unit is at the center of the Plan of Salvation and happiness. As such, we hold the family unit in high esteem. We should therefore try everything humanly and spirtually possible to keep the family as a unit. We also at the same time, have Satan using all his power to destroy this unit. It is my belief that the church discourages divorce for several reasons, one is that when a marriage gets in trouble, the effort should be made to salvage it. This requires a lot of work on the participants, changes have to be made. We do however believe that change is possible and attainable, otherwise we would not believe in the fundmental teachings of Christ. Other reasons are that we also believe in forgiveness and repentance. The church stresses making every effort to heal the marriage if possible before giving up and calling it a failure. Otherwise, we would be no different than the world in general. Of course each case has to stand on its own merits and circumstances.
