      Despite much repentance, the guilt still isn't completely gone, but repenting and making the vow of never supporting the coal industry in any way helps.  I still consider going to work for the coal industry as being one of the two most wicked things I have ever done.  I rationalized it by my wife's need of a heart surgery, but what I did was very very wrong.

    Scott- Don't beat yourself up over it. I'm sure we have all done something that we are not happy about and guilt over because we are decent people who understand the difference between right and wrong (I am in that group too). If it makes you feel any better- I'm sure that working in the coal industry was not listed in the Ten Commandments and I have never have heard it written that thou shalt not work in or with coal. 

    Repenting is the best thing we have done to bring ourselves closer to our Heavenly Father, and He has said that He will no longer remember the sin and our souls are wiped clean. 

    I have to keep reminding myself of that when Satan pops those thoughts and reminders of things I have done in the past that I was not proud of.... trying to make me miserable and feel unworthy........ but remembering the things the Lord has said just pops those thoughts and regrets out of my mind. I am so thankful for that. 

    Off subject here...... sorry folks.... but if I start in on politics and the mess it has all caused family, friends and the nation..... I'll just start crying again.

    But I also ponder why it is that the citizens of this country are so divided on party lines and talking points.  It seems that the rank and file Democrats want and desire the same things as the rank and file Republicans but both fear the party elites  (of the other party) are abusing the law to accomplish their agenda.  For example the Democrats believe the executive orders of President Trump ignore the separation of powers.  The Republicans believe the Democratically controlled house has committed treason with unverified accusations used to justify attempts to impeach the president.   I personally believe that stage has been set that regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election - that one or the other political party will cry foul and that this nation will become more subject to chaos than to just law.

     

    I agree with you to a degree Traveler, but it seems that the party elites are the big problem for the Democratic Party. I think the citizens  of our country have chosen a side that they agree with, and the best talking points that they hear. I choose the Republican Party because they stand for more of what I believe in than the Dems do.  And it's not the same Democratic Party as it used to be, it has grown to incorporate a lot more immoral, unjust and to be frank.... scary ideals.. My dad was a Democrat all his life, we had numerous talks and mini debates about politics and he enjoyed our little political chats. I learned a lot from them also. 

    After Obama was elected, the people I know who did not vote for him didn't riot, didn't destroy, loot or maim. We would have rather he not have won, but figured that the Lord had a purpose for putting him in office. After Trump won in 2016, chaos broke out and the liberals went nuts. And that is what they are planning to do again if Trump wins another term in office. They have vowed to create mayhem worse than before. Where if Biden wins.... we will go to work and know that God has a plan. I don't foresee any riots, looting or destruction because things might not turn out the way the Republicans wanted.       

    And I think that our nation will become more subject to chaos due to the last days prior to the Second Coming, with those who have sided with the minions of Satan because things didn't turn out their way, and they need to riot, destroy and hurt someone to prove how pathetic they are. Satan will use whoever he can to create chaos and mayhem.

    In a fascinating Wall Street Journal article, the author said that the mistake of 2016 was that the GOP bothered trying to justify their actions. Obama's choice was not nominated because he did not have the votes. Now, Trump does. It really is pure politics, and always has been. Now the Democrats are threatening to pack SCOTUS, to make Washington DC and Puerto Rico states, etc. They will anyway. For them the Constitution is a living, breathing document--meant to be bent to their will. Personally, I remember when the SCOTUS nominations became nasty. Robert Bork was "borked" by the Democrats for his ideology. It was the first time. We've never recovered. There is no high ground left to take.

    Good post PC!

    After some reading about making DC a state (sometime back) ..... it is written somewhere in the Constitution about the area of our nation's capitol (federal district?)  cannot belong to a state, it has to be it's own entity.  Not that it would stop the Dems for trying....it's like what you said "meant to be bent to their will".... they don't seem to take the Constitution seriously.  I'm sure that the rest of DC could incorporate into a state....  but I'm sure it would require a Constitutional Amendment.

    Actually, if you follow the context of the thread, it was the media that was lying to us. And they still do.

    Just recently, they spread the lie that a medication that Trump took to treat COVID was experimental and extremely dangerous. So, Trump's condition had to be severe for them to risk that.Turns out that it has been around a long time and is used to treat a whole host of conditions from mild asthma to severe pneumonia.

    Yes, the media lies to us all the time.

    I'm not sure what you're referring to here.  But, yes, the media always lies in favor of liberal politicians and against conservative ones.  If people simply stopped listening to the media and researched stuff from independents then we'd have a much more conservative government and people.

    I was actually trying for a bit o humor :)

    You don't have to tell me about the media lying to us...... well known fact to those that don't have blinders on. They tend to use their position to try to sway the public to the left side by "reporting" everything but factual truth. Yes, lies.  I don't watch liberal "news" shows for facts... actually I can't stomach the lies, hatred and venom they spew. They seem to instill fear and panic to those who believe what they are "reporting".

    BBC is more factual than our countries mainstream media. 

    I think that the hate filled, vindictive media have joined up with the Gadianton Robbers to destroy the people.

  5. I'm still decorating for Halloween.... you know jack o lanterns, ghosts, orange, purple, black and green things..... I'm not into walking dead zombies, corpses, severed heads, etc..... and smiling pumpkins might just bring joy to someone's life who is fighting to find something normal amongst the chaos. And from what I have heard, our downtown businesses are still going to have their trick or treat activity for children. Only 2 hours and doing it  "safely", but they are going to try to bring some sense of normality to the community.

    Adventures in Babysitting: No one remembers this film, but I thought it was a blast. Haven't seen it in decades, so I'm not sure what I would think today. But I loved it at the time, when everyone else bagged on it.

    One of my favorites !  I wouldn't watch it with my younger grandchildren.... but I know the older ones would love it as much as I do.

    No, it wasn't.  Mitch McConnell explicitly said that it has never been done WHEN THE SENATE AND PRESIDENT WERE OF DIFFERENT PARTIES. And he was right.

    Now that they are of the same party, what would be the point?

    WHAT? are you telling me that a politician would lie to us? :)

    I guess the lies depend on whose in power?

  8. Should POTUS select someone to fill that seat? YES!  I think that the Dems are having a fit because the GOP seems to have flip-flopped from 2016, but from what I remember that previous decision was based on the fact that Obama was finishing out his term limit. Trump is not finishing out his term limit- he is going into his second term. And thus, according to the Constitution, President Trump has a duty to do his job.   If this was his second term- the Dems might have a real argument, but it's not..... so they don't.

    Lindy good to see you again my friend.  I can understand how this would appear to you.  But for those of us that have recognized the history of the poster we tend to be a little more defensive of our religion and beliefs.  

    Hi Pam! Yep, it's me jumping to the defense of someone I don't know of. You'd think I would learn wouldn't you?  I was only thinking about what I was reading on this one discussion, and not on other (previous) ones. I understood the scriptures he posted, and honestly didn't see anything troubling about his posts on this subject.

    Of course it was after only 2 hours of sleep, and upper body agony from helping push a stuck car out of snow ruts.  Maybe I should reread the pages of posts and see what I missed........ after I am able to get a decent night's sleep.

    :-)

    If you think anyone in this thread has posted for reasons of, "let's tear Rob Osborn apart..." you aren't reading the responses correctly. There are people in this thread who are drilling him for sources, calling out aspects that aren't 100% for sure, making sure when one contradicts apostles and prophets that they state their "opinion" as an opinion -- not fact (as @pam emphasized). No one here was tearing into Rob. People here were pointing out alternatives (interpretations of scripture as given by modern apostles and prophets that relate to scripture) and things that are not within our scope to make.

    I just called it as it appeared to me- it was just disturbing to me personally.  Thank you for giving me your insight on the matter. 

    And thank you @askandanswer you made my day!

    I trust that the Lord MEANT what he said and that this path of trying to prove Judas was otherwise, for now, unless the Lord states something different, is a path that is NOT a good one for someone to pursue.

    After reading numerous posts, and the different opinions, feelings, and statements vs scriptural facts; I just want to add this to the quarrels over who is right, who is wrong and who cares more.....

    We ALL have our own opinions on different things, different views, different speculations, and discussion is all good until one persons opinion is vilified because he has a different view of something, and then it's open season on that one person"s every opinion or statement.

    Debate is good, discussions are good, but not when it's the mentality of 'let's tear Rob Osborn apart on anything he says'. I don't get it- It just doesn't seem right.

    I was used to the older site and I haven't gotten all the bells and whistles figured out with this newer one, so I don't know how to move quotes around within my posting, and don't know how to do the blue highlight name thing- but I love the quote from Johnson Jones, and intend to copy it down and stick it in my scriptures. It's a great quote. Thank you Johnson Jones for sharing.

    The only thing I ask is that you all start eating kim chee.  Or else you're all racists pigs.:P

    I can't even tolerate the smell of kim chee.

    Oh my, now I'm a deplorable AND a racist pig!  Couldn't I just eat some rice with kikkomann instead?

    :-) 

    My two cents..... I was always under the assumption that the Lamanites were the fore runners to the First People/American Indians on the American continent.

  13. I have a Flyers and a Blackhawk jersey, Red Wings tee shirts, and misc. (All from years and years ago)

    Been an Avs fan since Patrick Roy went to Denver. Stayed an Avs fan when he gave up on them. Also root for the Vegas Knights!

    “Bigot”, like “racist”, has degenerated into an epithet that is virtually meaningless; and in their heart of hearts most Americans know it.  As conservatives, we shouldn’t dignify those terms—or the people who use them against us—by seeking to turn them back on our accusers.  The best response is to a cool, unruffled “I don’t even know what that means”, and then stare them down like the intellectual dwarves that they are.

    I know we shouldn't dignify such hateful words, but it still hurts my feelings to be called a bigot, racist, etc, etc, etc because I have conservative values and voted for Trump.

    If I was called a bigot because I don't like or believe in same-sex marriage, or support the LGBT... agenda, than a bigot I will be and just shrug it off. 

  15. "Joy to the world, the Lord is come;".  sounds Christmas to me.

    "Let earth receive her King!"  Sounds Christmas to me.

    "Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,".      Ditto

    "And (Heaven) Saints and (nature) angels sing",      ditto
    "And (Heaven) Saints and (nature) angels sing,"      ditto
    And (Heaven) Saints, and (nature) Saints and angels sing"       ditto to the fourth.

    I understand the discussions about Christmas vs Second Coming.

     But my two cents is that the very first verse of the song is what I hear most often sang during the Christmas season.

    The Lord has been born! Let us receive Him..... our King! Let us all bring Him into our hearts and join Heaven and the entire world in singing our joy and love for Him!

    I will sing Joy to the World as a Christmas song, and will be happy to join Heaven, nature, saints and angels at His Second Coming too! :-)
