Have you all heard of Dr Masaru Emotos experiments with water? He claims that water may have some level of intelligence. In his research he subjects water to different emotions and to different types of music then freezes it. He then photographs each drop and they all display different snowflake effects. ..the water that that was exposed to classical music..there is a beautiful snoflake. With Metalic Rock there is a odd and ugly looking shaped snoflake. Here is his website: Hadolife I searched on different blogs and forums and it seems as if he has been highly critized amongst the scientific community.(wouldnt expect less from them) According to what i've read he has even taken down photographs and his research information because of the criticism.

Thanks for the link. Article is interesting. Just reaffirms my testimony about this sacred record and about the restoration of the church

This out today Fox News FOXNews.com - Powerful Solar Storm Could Shut Down U.S. for Months - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News Check out the year of when this may start occurring.

The Mayans/Lamanites were blessed by having vast knowledge of the heavens. They were a civilization that were way ahead of their time. They were able to predict the Moons orbit and were only off by 34 seconds. They also predicted all Celestial movements, Lunar and Solar eclipses from 3114 BC until 2012 BC. Why is it that they say the world ends in 2012? Well for (supposedly) 30 Million years the Earth has traveled above the Galactic plane of our Galaxy. So during this time nothing was disturbed in the Earth. It has kept its polarities, its spin and its cycle has always been the same ....always. That is why the Mayans were so accurate in their predictions. Everything kept its course. In the year 2012 we will experience something that no one in our time or in our dispensation will ever experience again, The Earth will cross the Galactic plane. What does this mean and what will happen? Well many scientists say that the Earths polarities will be shifted, in other words the Magnetic North will not be where it is currently located. This shift will cause the earth to become unstable, the waters boundaries will change, Big Tsunamis, Earthquakes, hurracanes and many volcano eruptions will ensue. (These Hurracanes and tsunamis that are happening now, are just setting a precedence of what is to come) It is said that polar shifts have happened at least twice in recorded history. There are ancient Egyptian and Chinese writings that talk of the sun setting in the east, and rising in the west. The other possible effect that this may have on the Earth is with its wobble (Lookup Chandlers wobble) This polarity change may create a pause in the earths wobble(Spin) and if that happens (Well lets say it just adds on to the already mentioned natural disasters) Although this latter theory is more speculation, there is a great possibility that it can happen. So in conclusion, this is the reason why the Mayans said that the world would end in 2012. They were not able to see beyond this year because of what was going to happen. As LDS, we all know that we've been told to keep at least a years worth of non perishable canned goods and supplies for our family. We've been told to be prepared, to be able to have the necessary things in case we were to loose electricity, gas or water. And most of all we've all been told to be prepared spiritually because of catastrophies of these magnitudes were to happen, Only the spiritually strong would be able to survive something like this. I consider myself to have a strong testimony and faith and I know something like this will occur soon because we are in the last days. I know that if not myself, for sure my children will see the coming of the savior and they will not reach the age of 30 when this will happen (please don't ask my children's age) I'm in my late 30s. I have hope that I will live to see His second coming. Anyways, I'm attaching some visuals and please feel free to ask any questions.

Question......would this be only for text? or should we include pictures, video and audio? We could have something for online resources also.....Nothing but links to varios sites. Remember the more stuff we add the more space you will need on your personal hard drive.

Can you send me some of your quotes and talks. This sounds like a good idea and i think i can do soemthing that we can install and store on our personal computer. (Free also) But i need various topics so that i can create a small database. Send me a private msg and I'll send you my email.

Thanks for the post. The way you've backed everything with scriptures makes complete sense.

I've never had an experience myself but I've read about normal every day people having them. I carry a camera in my truck everyday just in case I believe you were one of the few privileged to witness something cool. I know its nuts but I told my wife once...if an alien were to contact me directly...I'd probably go as long as they brought me back within the same week and didnt do any probing I created a group not sure if i should leave it private but i did that so not just anyone wanders into a thread and says that its actual church doctrine .... Its called Beyond Earth and its under entertainment.

How can we doubt that we are alone? We are not...we are just one earth of many thousands...maybe millions of them....we just have tunnel vision on our world only..... Check this out.... YTMND - The New Size of Our World

Here is a good article from the New Era LDS.org - New Era Article - People on Other Worlds

I know that our heavenly Father created many other worlds. I believe that it is possible that beings can be visiting us ..... y dont they make direct contact? who knows, maybe they aren't allowed to. After all Faith is believing in something that you cannot see. If they were to establish contact and then they were to tell us God does exist.... what would happen to our free will? what would happen to our Faith? Why are they making themselves seen then? Well...if i were on of HFs creations from another world...and I had the opportunity to just visit the world where Christ were born...I would take it! I mean out of all the worlds he was born here...we were the lucky ones...All other worlds really believe because of faith... but us....we had him here (and some people still dont believe) maybe they've seen our world, They've seen how blessed we are, our potential as a race...but they've also seen the way we've givin ourselves to sin , they've seen how we are destroying ourselves. Maybe they just show themselves so that we can think...wait, if there are other beings not of this world, then there has to be a God and maybe we will think things twice and reject the evil influence of Satan. There are many things that we dont understand yet. There are many things that the Old testament tell us about "beings from another planet" but we are not ready for that (i guess not all of us are) There are many revelations that were given to the prophet Joseph smith that we are not ready to receive yet.. The Ninth Article of Faith says, "We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God." Another scripture: Doctrine and Covenants 101:32-35: 32 Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things- 33 Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof- 34 Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven. Gotta go I'll chat some more later :)

can you all please suggest some links for church videos (youtube or non) for those investigating the church (or articles). i want to be able to send some links to some coworkers that are non members. I looked at Mormon.org but i know people would rather watch a quick video than read. Any suggestions? Thanks

Update: I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and prayers. Today my wife received her Temple Recommend, I should be receiving mine within the next couple of weeks. I also received a couple of callings at Church today. The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful forgiving wife and I will not let her or the Lord down. Things are slowly moving along. She will remember things but she does not get angry the way she was doing so a about 2 weeks back. One thing that i mentioned to her that I think helped alot was something I read on the internet. "Time may heal all wounds but its up to you on how much time it takes you let your wounds heal." Thanks again. I will keep everyone posted

UPDATE: Well, things have been very hectic for the past couple of weeks. As a woman she has alot of resentment and anger, (which is totally understandable) she asks me alot of questions that i hesitate to answer because i know the answers will hurt her. Sometimes i wish she wouldn't ask about the past. She says that she needs to know so that she can deal with it and get over it but i dont understand why she asks for specifics. When I answer her questions, most of the time she blows up..Shes says very hurtful things, things that I never expected for her to ever say (her family has been with the church for years, her Dad has had almost every major calling out there. Last weekend she said she was going to leave because she couldnt deal with it anymore..that she didnt think she could handle something like this. I broke down, for almost a year, i've been a totally different person, i was very sad that she couldnt grab onto that....We were both crying and all of a sudden she her eyes open and asks me...Please give me a blessing..... I at first i said i couldnt ..that i didnt feel worthy...(my rights have been restored) then a calm came to my heart , mind and spirit. I gave her the blessing, i felt the power of the Priesthood. This was on Sunday. For 3 days so far she is totally a different person. We are like boyfriend and girlfriend again. SHe says that she still thinks about things but she tries to immediately take those thoughts out of her mind. She still asks me ocassionally questions but not as many. The only thing that has me worried is that she asked me to do something and I agreed. She wants me to call one women i was involved with and tell her a list of things ..for example that i regret being with her and how much i love my wife. The problem here is that I do not know this persons current situation. I don't think this is a good thing to do. I agreed to it because i dont want her to think that I wont do what she asks for but things can go wrong for her and her current situation....and altho we are going thru something because of something that she's at fault also, I dont think i have the right to disturb her and her family just because we're going thru this now. Aside from this things seem to be changing completly. I've promised the Lord and her that I will love her everyday as if it were my last day here on Earth. Thank you for everyones support. I will update again later.

No problem... I've truly changed many things in my life....i now see life in a different way. In the spiritual sense. I use to be selfish and worldly...wanting nothing but material things that brought me temporal pleasure/satisfaction. Since then i have made her realize that none of this matters anymore....Im in my late 30s and I've realized that my spirituality, her and my children are what matter the most now. I provide for them and for their future and i really don't care for anything for me anymore. A year has almost passed and I have not gone back to any of those things that brought me soo much unhappiness ..nor shall i ever go back to any of that........

Thank you...wife loves Josh Groban....

I don't reject any type of advice. I have learned to open my ears and accept my faults. I just don't want to feel as if someone is judging me. Thank you for your words..I didnt realize that maybe by giving her articles on forgiveness, it might just make her even more angry. I know that this is something personal between her and the Lord and I will not interfere and yes I will keep praying and staying close to the Lord myself......Thank you

Its not harsh...its reality..I know that not anyone would be able to deal with something like this..but the reason i am fighting for this relationship is because I have read many articles from prophets, apostles and church authorities that say that if you are able to work through something like this..truly forgive and forget and not let Satan in your heart and mind with resentment or hatered, that the Lord will bless the relationship even more, because we are not breaking up an family that has been sealed and can be eternal. Aside from that, I have prayed about just getting a divorce...i had already thought that it was something that was a possibility and i personally felt that the spirit answered with rejection ..a sensation that made me feel that I must fight for her that I shouldnt give up....that was the spiritual side... then later...as a man of this world i started thinking about what my life would be without her and my body and i started feeling sick to my stomach, i felt nauseated, anxious....two different experiences...two differnt feelings....This is why i feel i must go on...and all i am asking here on these forums are for people to share articles of love of forgiveness of eternal marriage...so that i can give to her....I can't read every publication that is out there and I'm sure people here have read things that I haven't ...thats all I am asking for.

Yes we both did...I spoke to him and told him first that i wanted to tell her the whole truth..he said that i needed to....then she spoke with him and then both of us together...finally he asked if there was anything else that she didnt know about...I said No that everything was out in the open now. He told her that He knew it was going to be hard for her but that she needed to look at the man that promised her a year ago change and that has kept his word since then... to seek the Lords comfort adn guidance and it was possible to get through this....

read my thread...it may or may not help...all i can say is that He is the one knows if he has really decided to change...and if he does his change it will be noticeable, constant..in every aspect of the word change...he will treat you and love you like what you are..his eternal partner. if he says he going to change..regardless of him crying with you but doesn't prove to you that he is repentant of what happened then in his heart he only is changing because you caught him... He needs to seek counsel from the bishop..if he doesn't go (on his own) its because there is something that he's scared of telling the bishop and of the consequences.... Therapy is good also.

The story of my life is way too long and I dont want to bore anyone but I will try to make this as brief as possible... I married about 13 years ago..... went through many things in my life where i isolated myself from my wife and my family. I never was unfaithful until someone close in my life past away.(after 10 yrs of marriage)..i became rebellious against everything i believed in and knew was true...my poor wife was there with me throughout all of my pain but because of the spiritual darkness i was in..i started to distance myself from here..she became ill with UTIs because of the pregnancies and because of this we were hardly ever intimate...time passed and I started to even consume alcoholic beverages not alot ...3 or 4 at the most just enough to give me that sensation of diziness...i wanted to not feel pain... ....finally it happened i was unfaithful..i felt lonely i felt in need of something,to fill my emptiness i needed to feel new emotions i needed to feel alive somehow and I looked outside the sacred walls of matrimony...i did it several times throughout 3 years with different people...she never knew about it but during this time she started falling out of love also.....finally after being unfaithful several times i started feeling the weight of sin i started feeling bad about the whole situation...I stopped seeing the person i was involved with and told her i needed to put my life in order ... and then the worst happend ..a friend of hers (non member) knew of our situation, she would counsel her about us...tell her what to do to make things work between us..well one day i rcvd a call from her and she started giving me advice ...the calls started being daily calls...i took alot of her advice and started changing and then after a month or so she started telling me that she didnt know what my wife was thinking, that with a man like me she would be very happy...and finally she told me that she had always been attracted to me...the conversations went from advice to how handsome i was ...pretty much she stroked that male ego and i fell into the trap ...we met one evening and it happened again ..... well in the meantime my wife started asking a male friend mine if my change was real...well my friend (non member) i guess was always attracted to my wife...and he started telling her things that were secrets that i had confided in him...Yes I know it gets worst....well he also knew exactly what to say to get to her heart.......In the meantime..i told this other person that what had happened was wrong and that it couldnt happen again and that we needed to maintian our distance...needless to say someone saw us talking and told the wife about it....she confronted me and I lied about it... i was trying to change but i fell again but i felt really bad because i had tried changing for the first time....i was tempted where i was the weakest and couldnt resist that temptation...and i hated myself because of it....well my "friend" told her more or less what i had done and my just couldnt believe it....we dealt with it..tried to work on forgiveness in change . ..she went to her mothers house for about 2 months during this time i talked to this person a few other times..told her that we couldnt continue and that i needed to seek spiritual counsel..i finally had the courage to go see the bishop......he was in pain for my family of course.... I told him everything...and he gave me a list of things i needed to do and of course i had to have a disciplinary counsel....well she came back from her mothers and i told her of my change....i didnt confess everything to her because the bishop told me to seek the spirit and that I would know when she was ready to hear my confessions...well that was shot because my so called friend started telling her things...things that made her resent me. Of course he was doing this with an ulterior motive..telling her that he would never do the things i did that he would love her like no other..etc etc.. I want everyone to know that I had a real change in life after the Disc Counsel...i started doint the things i was told ..i starrted reading the scriptures...praying, doing the things that i needed to get back on track...in the meantime my friend was brain washing the wife and several months he tricked her into seeing him and altho she said no many times...he wouldnt take no for an answer ...and she fell....well...now she had a a Disc Couns..... at this point i had told her of only 2 women i had been with.... After all of this we finally went to a marriage counselor...Both of us decided to try to work things out ..to try to forgive each other and forget our past.....During this time i rcvd calls from some of the women i had been involved with..i asked them to forgive me for what i had done ..i told them that i was going to work things out with my wife and not to call again..Almost a year has past and I have not looked back..have not gone back to anything i did..i completely closed the door on satan and all of his temptations ..things have changed completely in my house ..there is love in my home...my children trust me and actually talk to me as a father ...we have FHE every monday..Not once have i missed church...I've tried not to miss any of my prayers, scripture study...Just recently I've been given back my rights and privileges in church again and im participating of the sacraments... Things had started to look promising ...we started saying that we loved each other....my eyes, mind, heart and soul belong to her only....making love to her actually involves love now......Shes seems happy and has said that the lord has made her feel that we did the right thing but yet she says that there was something still there ...something that she felt was in the way...something that prevented her from completely falling in love with me..... One day we were joking about something we saw on tv the theme was related to multiple lovers and she asked me if i had ever thought of that when i was spiritual darkness....well, i had promised the lord that if she ever asked me that I would tell her the complete truth...so i sat next to her and said that there was something i needed to tell her......I told her about the other women i was involved with and her jaw dropped.....its been a few days and she says that i make her sick...that she cant imagine being with a man that was as promiscuous as i was while being married to her...she asks me all types of questions ..sometimes she asks for specific details and i've answered them....some of them i have to not tell her exactly how or what happened because i know she will just flip out even more..... I know im my heart i am a changed man....the lord knows it...ive prayed everyday for this change and I will never ever go back to that past....I also know I love her...like i've never known love like this...a spiritual love...but yet nothing i say can calm her, nothing i say can give her peace...even if all of it is spiritual advice..just the fact that its coming from me..she will not hear it...shes talked to the bishop and altho hes said that she needs to base everything on these past 12 months shes still having a really hard time with this... I'm heart broken...i torn apart...I did this for us ...because she said that our foundation for a successful marriage was honesty..but yet i feel sometimes as if it backfired.... I do not expect anyone to understand me..i dont expect to be judged on here....all i am seeking is advice on articles of love and forgiveness...scriptures....hymns ..youtube videos/songs even if its modern popular bands..romantic songs...i pray everyday...and i leave it in the Lords hands and I know that she needs to seek the lords counsel but until she removes these moments of anger and resentment ...i want to send her things that she can read or listen things that will lift her spirit and inspire her to seek the Lord... Please dont judge me...Only one person can do that and i am aware that i have all of my life to prove that i have repented... Sorry but i couldn't keep it short... please pay no attention to grammar or spelling... :)
