I couldn't pick any of the poll choices. I prefer Ginger Ale or Rootbeer the best. M.

Some of us are from CANADA, which wasn't a choice. M.

Yes, and lots of heat. The heat the lasts at least 2 weeks! M.

Nice tone with which to begin the thread. I think it was just meant as a "heads up" for those who like to cause trouble. "Promises may make friends, but it is performances that keep them." (German proverb, I think) This one was from my MIL: "The first baby is for practice; after the other babies come, you can throw the first one away." M.

allmosthumble - The scripture answers your own question - and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God. Do you not think that when it refers to God, it may be referring to one of the other persons of the Godhead, as in the Father? We could then paraphrase John 1:1&2 by saying: In the begining was Jesus (the Word), and Jesus (the Word) was with the Father (God), and Jesus (the Word) was God (the Son). Jesus (The same) was in the begining with God (the Father). Knowing that all three persons of the Godhead are God collectively or individually makes it all make sense. M.

I'll also have some ice cream, Heavenly Hash please. And I'm not on a diet. I'm never on a diet. Is it possible for a woman not to be on a diet? M.

We do understand that you are NOT the author of the list, but you still presented it, I'm assuming, in your opinion as "Oh, isn't that a heart-warming testimonial?" Well some of us disagree and think it's a silly list. There are more intelligent ways in presenting something you think has merit. M.

That's a claim you can neither prove nor offer any significant evidence for. Just to clarify Snow, but that was Letsjam's claim and not roman's. M.

Okay Ray, gives us an example of a truth that will be and then give us an example of that truth's opposite, a falsehood. Thanks! M.

May I remind you Letsjam, that it's your statement (you presented it). The true church must bear the name of Jesus Christ. You did not leave yourself any wiggle room. Your statement says must and Jesus Christ. You are either convinced that your whole statement has merit, or change your rigid idea about what the criteria must be. M.

Letsjam, D&C 115 says: Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Far West, Missouri, April 26, 1838. Eight years after "the church" actually began. Before that it went by Church of Christ and Church of Latter-day Saints. How do these names reflect the authenticity of the LDS church in these first eight years? Was the LDS church true from 1830 till this revelation or not? If it was, then your criteria with the name doesn't apply to either your church or even a non-LDS church that also uses the words "Jesus Christ" in its name. Judging a church by its name, is a poor indicator of truthfulness. M.

Translation please! I do recognize some though. My husband says A'ight, and my daughter and her friends posed for pictures with a krunk look. That's 2 down and 47 to go. M.

I find these kind of lists so lame and why the "must"? If the "must" doesn't work out, does that take away from the spiritual intent? For example take: The true church must bear the name of Jesus Christ (Eph 5:23) So does that mean any other church that does not have Jesus Christ in their official church name must be a false church? Like this church: When the church was organized in 1830 it was called the "Church of Christ". It was also referred to as the "Church of Latter Day Saints" to differentiate the church of this era from that of the New Testament, and was generally known by that name between 1834 and 1838. In April 1838, the full name was stated as "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", according to D&C 115:3-4. When the church was incorporated in 1851, the legal documents used the current standardized spelling and punctuation, capitalizing the first article, "The", and hyphenating "Latter-day": The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is some dispute as to whether or not this was the official name prior to 1851, since there was no standard spelling or punctuation in church publications prior to that time and legal documents of the pre-incorporated (but legally organized) church are not readily available. The church currently uses the word "The" as part of its official name, as opposed to a modifying article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_church...e_of_the_Church So because the LDS church didn't start out with the name it has now until 1838, does that mean it was false for its first 8 years? M.

Welcome Bryan to LDStalk. I've read your very few posts and already find you quite witty and clever. I look forward to reading more. M.

I checked it out, it's quite interesting and so far, quite accurate. :) M.

I do that too out of habit - we're of that generation. :) M.

I've been teasing my son about getting his hair cut. This is the first time he's been procrastinating about the hair and it's getting long so that his bangs cover one eye. His Grad picture for grade 9 had this look with one eye covered. Another fella in his class had all his hair covering his face except you could still see his mouth and chin. My daughter describes this covered face look as "emo", a slang that describes this fashion and attitude style as "emotional". I don't really think my son sees himself as "emo" but it's fun to tease. M.

I'm surprised by curvette. curvette was a wonderful poster who we haven't heard from in a very long time. M.

Once I read Snow's comment about Monica being Ari, it suddenly clicked since both were obsessed with posting "quotes" of whatever fancied their interest. M.

Whether it is possible or not for God to create "a god" doesn't necessarily mean that God would or should. Should the created tell the creator what he should be doing? IMO, God is unique for the fact that he is God. M.
