and how will the Holy Ghost minister to the Telestial......won't he get a body?

Actually Brother McConkie poses some questions regarding organic evolution and then suggests that we all must choose for ourselves what to believe and then shares his belief and his rational for it.

Bytor has been banished to outer darkness......

As a humor professional, I can tell you that a raped 14-year-old is a tragedy, but five years older and she’s comedy gold! - David Letterman :confused::confused:

Party politics has become (maybe it's always been) like cheering for your favorite football team....regardless of how stupid the players are:eek: Lettermen is an idiot and his comments were tasteless....if I were Todd Palin I would accept the invitation and do a tap dance on his skinny backside.

I am guessing here......but I suspect some liberals would consider his comments tasteless.....not so much some on this site...but somewhere I am sure.

Must be something in the water in D.C Here is a list of naughty Democrats: Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the 1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Former Rep. Gus Savage. The Illinois Democrat was accused of fondling a Peace Corps volunteer in 1989 while on a trip to Africa. Rep. Barney Frank. The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank’s residence in the 1980s. Former Sen. Brock Adams. The late Washington Democrat was forced to stop campaigning after numerous accusations of drugging, assault and rape, the first surfacing in 1988. Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978 for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won re-election—before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty to tax evasion and drug possession. Former Rep. John Young. The late Texas Democrat increased the salary of a staffer after she gave in to his sexual advances. The congressman won re-election in 1976 but lost two years later. Former Rep. Wayne Hays. The late Ohio Democrat hired an unqualified secretary reportedly for sexual acts. Although he resigned from Congress. Former Rep. Mel Reynolds. The Illinois Democrat was convicted of 12 counts of sexual assault with a 16-year-old. Sen. Teddy Kennedy. The liberal Massachusetts senator testified in defense of nephew accused of rape, invoking his family history to win over the jury in 1991. REP. JOHN YOUNG (D-Tex.): On June 11, 1976, Colleen Gardner, a former staff secretary to Young, told the New York Times that Young increased her salary after she gave in to his sexual advances. In November, Young, who had run unopposed in the safe Democratic district five consecutive times, was reelected with just 61 percent of the vote. The scandal wouldn't go away, and in 1978 Young was defeated in a Democratic primary runoff. REP. ALLAN HOWE (D-Utah): On June 13, 1976, Howe was arrested in Salt Lake City on charges of soliciting two policewomen posing as prostitutes. Howe insisted he was set up and refused to resign. But the Democratic Party distanced itself from his candidacy and he was trounced by his Republican opponent in the November election. REP. FRED RICHMOND (D-N.Y.): In April 1978, Richmond was arrested in Washington for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old boy. Richmond apologized for his actions, conceding he "made bad judgments involving my private life." In spite of a Democratic primary opponent's attempts to cash in on the headlines, Richmond easily won renomination and reelection. But his career came to an end four years later when, after pleading guilty to possession of marijuana and tax evasion - and amid allegations that he had his staff procure cocaine for him -- he resigned his seat. REP. JOHN HINSON (D-Miss.): On Aug. 8, 1980, during his first reelection bid, Hinson stunned everyone by announcing that in 1976 he had been accused of committing an obscene act at a gay haunt in Virginia. Hinson, married and a strong conservative, added that in 1977 he had survived a fire in a gay D.C. movie theater. He was making the disclosure, he said, because he needed to clear his conscience. But he denied he was a homosexual and refused GOP demands that he resign. Hinson won reelection in a three-way race, with 39 percent of the vote. But three months later, he was arrested on charges of attempted oral sodomy in the restroom of a House office building. He resigned his seat on April 13, 1981. REP. ROBERT BAUMAN (D-Md.): On Oct. 3, 1980, Bauman, a leading "pro-family" conservative, pleaded innocent to a charge that he committed oral sodomy on a teenage boy in Washington. Married and the father of four, Bauman conceded that he had been an alcoholic but had been seeking treatment. The news came as a shock to voters of the rural, conservative district, and he lost to a Democrat in November. REP. DAN CRANE (R-Ill.) and REP. GERRY STUDDS (D-Mass.): The House ethics committee on July 14, 1983, announced that Crane and Studds had sexual relationships with teenage congressional pages -- Crane with a 17-year-old female in 1980, Studds with a 17-year-old male in 1973. Both admitted the charges that same day, and Studds acknowledged he was gay. The committee voted to reprimand the two, but a back-bench Georgia Republican named Newt Gingrich argued that they should be expelled. The full House voted on July 20 instead to censure the two, the first time that ever happened for sexual misconduct. Crane, married and the father of six, was tearful in his apology to the House, while Studds refused to apologize. Crane's conservative district voted him out in 1984, while the voters in Studds's more liberal district were more forgiving. Studds won reelection in 1984 with 56 percent of the vote, and continued to win until he retired in 1996. REP. ERNIE KONNYU (D-Calif.): In August 1987, two former Konnyu aides complained to the San Jose Mercury News that the freshman Republican had sexually harassed them. GOP leaders were unhappy with Konnyu's temperament to begin with, so it took little effort to find candidates who would take him on in the primary. Stanford professor Tom Campbell ousted Konnyu the following June. SEN. BROCK ADAMS (D-Wash.): On Sept. 27, 1988, Seattle newspapers reported that Kari Tupper, the daughter of Adams's longtime friends, filed a complaint against the Washington Democrat in July of 1987, charging sexual assault. She claimed she went to Adams's house in March 1987 to get him to end a pattern of harassment, but that he drugged her and assaulted her. Adams denied any sexual assault, saying they only talked about her employment opportunities. Adams continued raising campaign funds and declared for a second term in February of 1992. But two weeks later the Seattle Times reported that eight other women were accusing Adams of sexual molestation over the past 20 years, describing a history of drugging and subsequent rape. Later that day, while still proclaiming his innocence, Adams ended his campaign. REP. JIM BATES (D-Calif.): Roll Call quoted former Bates aides in October 1988 saying that the San Diego Democrat made sexual advances toward female staffers. Bates called it a GOP-inspired smear campaign, but also apologized for anything he did that might have seemed inappropriate. The story came too close to Election Day to damage Bates, who won easily. However, the following October the ethics committee sent Bates a "letter of reproval" directing him to make a formal apology to the women who filed the complaint. Although the district was not thought to be hospitable to the GOP, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a former Navy pilot who was once shot down over North Vietnam, ousted Bates in 1990 by fewer than 2,000 votes. REP. GUS SAVAGE (D-Ill.): The Washington Post reported on July 19, 1989, that Savage had fondled a Peace Corps volunteer while on an official visit to Zaire. Savage called the story a lie and blamed it on his political enemies and a racist media. (Savage is black.) In January 1990, the House ethics committee decided that the events did occur, but decided against any disciplinary action because Savage wrote a letter to the woman saying he "never intended to offend" her. Savage was reelected in 1990, but finally ousted in the 1992 primary by Mel Reynolds. REP. BARNEY FRANK (D-Mass.): In response to a story in the Aug. 25, 1989, Washington Times, Frank confirmed that he hired Steve Gobie, a male prostitute, in 1985 to live with and work for him in his D.C. apartment. But Frank, who is gay, said he fired Gobie in 1987 when he learned he was using the apartment to run a prostitution service. The Boston Globe, among others, called on Frank to resign, but he refused. On July 19, 1990, the ethics committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he "reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets. Attempts to expel or censure Frank failed; instead the House voted 408-18 to reprimand him. The fury in Washington was not shared in Frank's district, where he won reelection in 1990 with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger margins ever since. SEN. DANIEL INOUYE (D-Hawaii): In October 1992, Republican Senate nominee Rick Reed began running a campaign commercial that included a surreptitiously taped interview with Lenore Kwock, Inouye's hairdresser. Kwock said Inouye had sexually forced himself on her in 1975 and continued a pattern of sexual harassment, even as Kwock continued to cut his hair over the years. Inouye, seeking a sixth term, denied the charges. And Kwock said that by running the commercial, Reed had caused her more pain than Inouye had. Reed was forced to pull the ad, and while many voters took out their anger on the Republican, Inouye was held to 57 percent of the vote - the lowest total of his career. A week later, a female Democratic state legislator announced that she had heard from nine other women who claimed Inouye had sexually harassed them over the past decade. But the women didn't go public with their claims, the local press didn't pursue the story, and the Senate Ethics Committee decided to drop the investigation because the accusers wouldn't participate in an inquiry. REP MEL REYNOLDS (D-Ill.): Freshman Reynolds was indicted on Aug. 19, 1994, on charges of having sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker and then pressuring her to lie about it. Reynolds, who is black, denied the charges and said the investigation was racially motivated. The GOP belatedly put up a write-in candidate for November, but Reynolds dispatched him in the overwhelmingly Democratic district with little effort. Jeffery Claude Bartleson, a 52-year-old Pueblo resident who headed McCain's campaign office during last year's election season, has been arrested for child molestation. (less)

He would need to: 1. Greatly reduce the size of government. 2. Undo Ominibus and the stimulus bill. Tarp may have been necessary on some level, but he has already violated the terms of TARP. 3. Slash foreign aid and wasteful government spending. 4. Reform the tax code. (flat tax, fair tax etc.) 5. Let companies rise or fall and stop picking winners or losers. 6. Get a more manly dog.....j/k

Another thought. There is no guarantee that the Lord will continue to forgive if you continue to commit serious sin, repent and the repeat the sin. The Bishops role is to help save your eternal soul and make sure that you understand the serious nature of the transgression and to make sure that you have truly had a mighty change of heart.

The Lord knows our heart. What if you had premarital sex when you were 18 and inactive from the church and stayed inactive for 25 years. You married the girl that you had premarital sex with and remained faithful to her. Now you decide you might want to go to church.......has the Lord forgiven the transgression? Probably. Might be a different story for an active endowed member of the church that commits adultery. More commitment, more covenants. more accountability. Could they person be forgiven without confession....I think so, but why carry that burden.

So...you admit you were wrong then. Good. (ok, maybe I was wrong too, but I won't admit it)

No....it is a liberal publication and they endorsed Obama.

FYI.... I will post this at another thread as well. Much has been said regarding Bytor's threads....some of it not very kind. Such is life. Since May 6th 2009, I have started 53 threads. ( based on a quick count) 49 of these threads included links to news stories. Of the 49 links, 13 mentioned Obama in the title and not all of the titles were negative.

Actually, I probably link more to the Wall Street Journal than anywhere else. Some of the links to Newsmax or Drudge are actually stories from the AP and other sources...but that is to be no more....R.I.P. 06/09/2009. I probably spend more time at CATO than anywhere else......I am really libertarian in my political views. I will post this at another thread as well.

Really? The San Francisco Chronicle endorsed Obama for President. I don't think they are a conservative news organization.....which is where this story is from.

Ok. I have responded point by point to your rebutts in the past and you didn't reply.....maybe the thread had died and you moved on...dunno. But, either way I am done. I understand your deeply flawed political opinions and you understand my deeply flawed political opinions.

Hi Missingsomething, So sorry to hear about this....I know you didn't come to this decision easily. You should disregard foreverafter's comments, she is delusional. I wish you the best and will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers.

My teepee is full of imaginary smoke.......

Fair enough. As I say to my wife after we have been fussing......peace???:)

That's like saying, "your not dumb, just less educated". Less emotionally evoking, might have been a recant of your words and maybe a concession that singling out another member for the topic of a negative thread was inappropriate.

Yeah, I'm sorry too. It certainly was not my intention to offend anyone on this site. Recently, I was thinking that I post too much on the current events forum and not nearly as much on the Gospel forum anymore and how much contention I personally feel hashing politics. My job has emotionally drained me for the past 9 months and the economy has been a very sore spot for me.

It's not only inaccurate....it's rude. If I said that your posts were nothing more than condescending arrogance and were just arrogant dribble from one trying to prove to himself how smart he thinks he is....that might be inaccurate, but it would definitely be rude.

I really don't get your post. Are you saying your priorities are somehow better than mine, because I have been outspoken regarding what I view as disastrous economic policy......not only my views, but the views of much of the world currently and how do you know that I don't work for the "down trodden" You seem to think that anyone that plans for retirement and invests money is wealthy? If you do you are very mistaken.

But Wingnut, it gives YOU and others who feel as you do the opportunity to rebutt or defend or comment or ignore.
