    Let me be a bit more specific. God will force no man to heaven, so such things are not "required" in that sense. But if you want to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, then yes, you must be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. That's what it means to join the Church.
     
    Similarly, if you would receive the blessings of exaltation that God promises to those who follow him, you must make further temple covenants. So in that sense, yes, they are required.

    I don't really dwell on the material source.  The Book of Moses was inspired by the Genesis, and not a literal translation of any known documents.  So, clearly when God needs to reveal certain truths, he reveals them.  The material source is (parden the pun) immaterial.  It's the spiritual message that's important.  And the Pearl of Great Price is filled with ancient truths that were lost, perhaps with no physcial way to retrieve them. So, God delivered truth.  The truth is more important than the method of revealing the truth.  And it's something we can't ever really know.  I don't think Joseph Smith could even explain it.

    I shot the new Glock 17 today. I must say I really enjoyed it and am more accurate with it than my Sig Saur. Both are excellent firearms, the SIg has a high bore axis versus the Glock which has a low bore axis and is lighter. Not used to the "drop in the bucket" sights on the Glock but they seem to work.
     
    Glock perfection? Maybe.

    I love it when anti-gun folks trot out the phrase "assault rifle" as a way to boost the emotional impact of their statements.  Anyone who has an understanding of firearms knows how utterly arbitrary that phrase is.  This is why those arguments gain no traction with gun enthusiasts... we just know better.

    Biggest reasons I went with the Glock 17 instead of the Sig or the H&K:
     
    1. Cost. Between $100.00-$200.00 less expensive. 
    2. History of exceptional reliability
    3. Availability of accessories. G17 has been around since 1982....
    4. Inexpensive magazines. Magazines for my Sig are around $50.00, G17 mags are half that....
    5. Very lightweight for a double stack pistol.
    6. Felt like a perfect fit in my hand.
    7. Simple to take down and clean....really awesome design.
     
    I thought Glocks were ugly....but they have really grown on me. I will be shooting tomorrow.....

    This is really laughable, and quite predictable. Yet another lecture from yet another pious, know-it-all European. Brits seem especially vulnerable to this sort of mindless holier-than-thou-ism. There's a reason we left merrie olde England.
     
    Yes, it's all about saving children and trusting government. Just keep telling yourself that. Honestly, there's no conversing with such people and their hermetically sealed minds.

    I have a Sig Sauer P227. Love the .45 ACP. I also have my CCW, but alas, no carry in the Middle East, but that will be changing in a couple of months. I haven't carried yet though. I've never needed to (yet) and now I worry that I actually might find myself in the wrong situation. I won't let my wife know when I do though,... she will, no doubt, give that 'give away' look and then I'm toast.
     
    Once home I will spend that nest egg from my allowance I've been saving to purchase a Ruger Mini-30 using the AK round and a Ruger 10/22 if funds hold out.
     
    I'm trying to get my wife to spring for that Mossberg 500 I've been wanting as well,... when I got the Sig she seemed to think I didn't need the shotgun anymore. What?...
     
    I do plan on making a few stair handrail and rebar spears, a pvc 80lb bow, a pvc 100lb crossbow and an atlatl. Other items may include rebar bungy sticks and if I can just figure out how to get my pressure washer to spray gas....
