Carrots are devine... You get a dozen for a dime, It's maaaa-gic! - Bugs Bunny

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Zig Ziglar

The church doesn't need to issue an official statement. As members we have the Holy Spirit as our companion if we live worthily and he will guide each of us toward truth and light and righteosuness. And everyone is given the light of Christ....whether they choose to follow or not is a different story.

I have often wondered that as well......I am guessing the one third that were cast out are beyond redemption as well.

She seems very virtuous.......

So true....and "free agency" is not "free" from consequences.

III Nephi Chapter 12, verse 32 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whoso shall marry her who is divorced committeth adultery.

AWESOME!!!!!!!! So happy for you....very cool!!

This fetus would have been someone's son or daughter..... a beloved son or daughter of God......until someone ruthlessly, violently suctioned the life from out of the mother's womb......and statistically it was likely done because the would be mother didn't want to be inconvenienced by her poor decisions.

My post was not intended to start another abortion debate.....just wanted to point out that not only are our tax dollars being wasted....but will continue to be and for very unrighteous purposes. I HOPE he will CHANGE his mind....not likely.

Statistics have shown that less than 7% of all abortions are performed to protect the life of the mother,or because of rape or incest. And what the heck does that have to do with my tax dollars? Here is an idea...let's add a box to our tax return form that allows you to send money to foreign countries to support abortion.....aren't there enough generous liberals out there that would choose to do that? Or do you want to force all tax payers to support something they morally disagree with? Why not a box to choose to pay extra taxes? After all, there should be plenty of libs who would belly up and give extra to the government or is it that they only believe that it should be mandatory?

It's a political expression and meant in fun..... not in meanness. For those who are very sensitive....please accept Bytor's apology. The same could be easily said about McCain supporters or Naider supporters or Paul supporters or......fill in the blank supporters. And I have drank plenty of koolaid in my time....but never had any poured on my head.

Not at all Ceeboo.......the Book of Mormon prophets kept the records for future generations....specifically our generation...to be brought forward in the last day. The records were compiled and abridged by a Prophet- Historian named Mormon. "Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites—Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile—Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation—Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed—To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof—Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile—The interpretation thereof by the gift of God. An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to heaven—Which is to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations—And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ."

Obama poured some strong Kool-aid....... and since Bytor doesn't want kool aid spilled on his head.....let me just say...it was a joke j/k lighten up.

Abortion is legal...yes. But I don't want my tax dollars sent to other countries for that purpose, do you? Perhaps they should get a tee-shirt that reads" Thanks for my abortion, Uncle Sam". And gay marriage was legal in California and slavery was legal in the South and many northern states......does that make it right?

Hello Ceeboo,....I have been lurking.... Yes, I am not surprised either. Gotta keep the extreme abortion lobby that helped him get elected happy. I was hopeful that he would surprise me....thus far it hasn't happened.

Sorry, meant to post this in general discussion........my bad.

Hanging the President with his own misguided beliefs whether Bush or soon Obama is hardly trashing.

I am so glad that President-elect Obama is going to immediately tackle such important issues as funding abortion with taxpayer dollars outside of the US. Bravo. Just what we need so that other nations will love and respect us......money to terminate unwanted children. Surprised? I'm not.

I have a Pam like silly comment...... as a Latter Day Saint, I base my testimony, my faith, my belief on the witnesses I have recieved and continue to recieve from the Holy Spirit. Before this experience I was rowing in your boat. This "feeling" is the presense of Holiness......a member of the Godhead ......communing with our Spirit. Unless you have experienced it, you really can't understand. I didn't. But now.....:) It changed my beliefs...it changed my life.

The Boof of Mormon was written for our day and time.........

A bit off topic....but how much credence do we give to Journal of Discourses? Is it considedered authorative? Our critics love to quote from it.

"The right of revolution is an inherent one. When people are oppressed by their government, it is a natural right they enjoy to relieve themselves of oppression, if they are strong enough, whether by withdrawal from it, or by overthrowing it and substituting a government more acceptable." - General Ulysses S. Grant

I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. Ulysses S. Grant
