With the economic times many people are urging investment in gold. I say unless you have figured out a way to eat gold, don't bother... Ezekiel 7 : 19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

How about a compromise? You join the Church of Christ [Temple Lot] ( The Church of Christ, Restored April 6, 1830, Independence Missouri ) or the Church of Jesus Christ ( The Church of Jesus Christ ) together?

You really need to watch, "America: Freedom to Fascism" by Aaron Russo, if you think we are ever going to get on the gold or any other standard again.

I see spirits all the time, whenever I walk into a store... Smirnoff, Jack Daniels, Budweiser

And I'll gather to the Centerplace to build up New Jerusalem, as instructed various times in scripture.

"Where do you get most of your information?" "... Bill Maher is a great one." "... John Stewart..." It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

People can head to the Rockies all they want I'll be going to the Central States where the Natives are... "1 But if they will repent, and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant, and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance, and they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob; 2 And also, as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem; 3 And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, which are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem. 4 And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst, and then shall the work of the Father commence, at that day even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant of this people. 5 Verily, I say unto you, At that day shall the work of the Father commence among all the dispersed of my people; yea, even the tribes which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out of Jerusalem. 6 Yea, the work shall commence among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father, to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on the Father in my name; 7 Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the Father, among all nations, in preparing the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance. 8 And they shall go out from all nations; and they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight; for I will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be their rearward. And then shall that which is written come to pass." [3 Nephi 10] "1 A arevelation of Jesus Christ unto his servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and six elders, as they bunited their hearts and clifted their voices on high. 2 Yea, the word of the Lord concerning his church, established in the last days for the arestoration of his people, as he has spoken by the mouth of his bprophets, and for the cgathering of his dsaints to stand upon eMount Zion, which shall be the city of fNew Jerusalem. 3 Which city shall be abuilt, beginning at the btemple lot, which is appointed by the finger of the Lord, in the western boundaries of the State of Missouri, and cdedicated by the hand of Joseph Smith, Jun., and others with whom the Lord was well pleased. 4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, that the city aNew Jerusalem shall be built by the gathering of the saints, beginning at this place, even the place of the temple,..." [D&C 84]

Let's clear at least one thing up... Deseret Book is owned by the LDS Church, so ,yes, they are affiliated with the LDS church. Please refrain from telling me to "bear in mind", as if I am unaware of the circumstances surrounding James Strang or the history of the LDS church. You can apply the "apostate" label to anyone you please, but I generally find that for myself judgment before investigation to be rather unbecoming, which is why I recommended it for someone researching ideas about the Kingdom of God. I didn't say I believed it, just that it was interesting. Why are folks like you so easy to cry "Apostacy" and plug your ears?

Sooo. sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't?

Told ya, AL "Whatever Barak says you will believe."

It makes too much sense, Obama cult members will hate it.

True dat, my bad Nice catch.

Depends on the object of your desire.

Bring bread/tortilla/matza she can eat, give it to the deacons quorum adviser and make sure the kid that has the plate stops by your row.

It is absolutely a gospel principle... 76 And now behold, is the meaning of the word restoration, to take a thing of a natural state, and place it in an unnatural state, or to place it in a state opposite to its nature? 77 O, my son, this is not the case; but the meaning of the word restoration, is to bring back again evil for evil, or carnal for carnal, or devilish for devilish; good for that which is good; righteous for that which is righteous; just for that which is just; merciful for that which is merciful; 78 Therefore, my son, see that ye are merciful unto your brethren; deal justly, judge righteously, and do good continually; and if ye do all these things, then shall ye receive your reward; 79 Yea, ye shall have mercy restored unto you again; ye shall have justice restored unto you again; ye shall have a righteous judgment restored unto you again; 80 And ye shall have good rewarded unto you again; for that which ye do send out, shall return unto you again, and be restored; therefore the word restoration, more fully condemneth the sinner, and justifieth him not at all. [Alma 19]

I gotta ask... "The Holy Language"? King James English? I've stopped using KJE for the most part, it doesn't feel natural to me. It feels like I'm addressing God not speaking with him.

"Upside down"

Alma 21 : 76 But not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared, to remove the cause of diseases to which man was subject by the nature of the climate. I believe anything that God has caused to grow up from the earth has something useful about it. And if marijuana is the most natural medicine that will help my condition, sign me up.

I believe the word "Apostate" is a word used a little to freeely. Why not never examine any book by any non-LDS? Why not have Deseret Book throw out any book by non-LDS writers? If you don't mind I'll follow this counsel... "13 aWe believe in being bhonest, true, cchaste, dbenevolent, virtuous, and in doing egood to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we fhope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to gendure all things. If there is anything hvirtuous, ilovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

Since we are on the subject... I know fundamentalist Mormons (who generally are much more strict about the WofW) who practice more herbal based medicine solutions who use vodka in some of the medicines they make up (I forgot what the type of medicine is called, it'll come to me after I post surly). What do you think about using it in natural medicines? Like, as a midwife, using a little wine to help the woman's body relax during childbirth?

It was probably under the advisement of "avoiding the appearance of evil", rather then a WofW issue. But for those of us who don't care what others think and like good food...

Talk to God the Father in the name of His Son Jesus. What's in between doesn't matter, as far as patterns, the right words, etc... If you have been praying your whole life I'm sure you are doing fine.

I guess I do say "pop" after all
