A few damages structures , bo one I know is hurt....phew ,I am so glad ,here. edit: sorry for my bad grammmer , evrty one on my lisit is fine , and I'm being told to get sleep...so glad every one here is fine. bye,bye,for now.

Good , for you , and a welcome from me aswell.

Thanks^^^every one who gave me a lot of good ideas. :) I worked in to my talk with her of not giving up on something to believe in from what you all advised. I did gain some ground. She is such a kind person,she was mad at God because it is hard for anyone at times to get your mind wrapped around the bad things that happen to good people. It truns out a Lil girl she really got close with at summer camp passed awy from an illness that was easily prevented (a poor kid) the two of them started taking food,an things to another poor family's,and saw this friend of hers place her own items to give away in gift box. My Grandaughter is this way from as for back as I can recall. Always bringing home stray or injured animals,people,you name it. she would find ways for helping out in the town. So her good friend dies an she is a bit up-set with God but I explained that way it is in the world and you have to study death more,and look at what God and his son said about it. Everything has a purpose and a season...she agreed to study it with some LDS pals she sometimes hangs out with. But the best friend she mention,is my Grand son :) he is a convert for four years in the LDS church..so I know he will,comfort her broken heart and show her how these bad things can not be allowed to get you down for good. She is going to get right soon now that she knows her assignment,death of a loved one is a tuff thing to deal with at any age.

Thanks Melissa569 ^^^for the Dream. :) a dream may be all we can do.

How do I help her know that there is some thing to belief in , her parents sent, her to me. (just across the street) it seems she mentioned to her parents,that if anyone knows,it would be Grandpa. (her parents or work-workaholic's) I have concerns about this as she is just 11 and I have loads of life , experience's. All my grankids have ask me for advice, but this one is tuff, for me. She is a straight A student,the smart one , in all my years she may be the top, brain in our tribe.Of all time,her IQ is off the chart. She knows topic's I am just familiar with and takes to her own research on, every thing,even history.and politics which the other kids just tolerate. I thought I should include all of that^^above so you can help her better. except I need to add to it a bit more,she has it in her head,and is strong when, she says, she can not find the answer of what is there to belief in, I know its not something to just brush off with a kid as bright and gifted, as this. As I suspect she has developed already at this tender age of 11 a strong, philosophical belief structure,her Sunday school teacher has said many of the, same thoughts as mine,even though I do not belong to the same church, (Baptist) I make it a point to get to know the people, in my, Granddaughter's life. I am active like this with all my gran-kids. if you need more details I can give them. I did not intend to take up the whole forum,but I am about to go bonkers, not sure I am good enough,I have counciled many through the years. But as you know it's tougher with some one you love.

I sure hope Russia would take the spent fuel. I have an idea,do not know if its possible.Can the world authorities monitor or help Russia to see to it the spent rods are kept away from the folks in Iran? it seems that is their country and they could just take it from the monitors though..so I guess I am hoping against all hope some how the good leaders can prevent WWIII. I do agree with one poster here that some groups seem bent on starting a war of unimaginable proportions.

When I 1st seen the title of this talk I thought it was going to be about LDS church members who where banned..but my Grandson told me " nah..gramps we are not mean people,that rarely happens " so after reading this talk I kept thinking off topic :)

This^ was most helpful..wish I had known of it before,scaring good really nice folks on a forum concerned with spiritual matters. And Pam you are so correct.I do belief in praying for Gods protection,Thank you Pam for the nudge. :) I apologies from the bottom of my heart.

I understand your suspicion ryanh,I have had no training in typing and the only thing I can think of for line brakes (what are line brakes?) I hunt and peck with one hand,and I edited to save space,thinking I was wasting band width.I heard some sites or short on band width,so i don't know what band width is either:confused: My monitor is small would that effect my posting look? I have been told that I place my text in columns,is that confusing for members replying to my question? I guess text in column,wastes band width..I don't know. Also not email ryanh I made the whole text by hunt and peck method from my head. as being ready for a run into the desert for safety,it did not enter my mind. So you will have to get a job ryanh, I can not give you my assets,well not more than $50. for groceries. <I was kidding:) you seem responsible..I would help you tho. I just thought I should see if it was important,my knowledge of world affairs is maybe average at best. anyways thanks members for all the great replies,I learned more than I had hoped for.

I had dinner with a friend a few days ago who for over 40 years I have known him as a down to earth,level headed guy with his head firmly attached. What he said to me was about an attack on Iran coming in 3 to 7 days,from Israel. He has returned from that region and plans not going back,he looked worried,quickly returned to talking again of our previous talk,on him settling down for retirement. Does anyone know anything of a planed attack by Israel on Iran's Nuclear plant?

I have not had a lot of witness of Banns..except a game forum I would see a lot of folks reguest a Ban..I often thought the games may have been addictive,so the member would ask for a ban hoping that would help fix the addiction. Would that be a reason here for a ban? I could see being addicted at this forum..its more cozy than most homes

I will say this in defense of LDS leaders,in all of my time Looking into the bible,I do not ever recall them changing one word of scripture. I take this to mean they oare very concerned with Gods rule,not to change or ad to the book of revelations. The BOM & D&C are separate books. If the books mentioned above deviate from the spirit of the Law,then that's another thing. No one has proved to me they do,so its ok as far as I see. In all my years this has been so.

Preventive medicine is better as I see it,bankrupting a family in the name of Capital for medical research is not a good choice. I have seen this over and over again all my life; its about time, Yay. I just wish my dad who worked him self to death (for us) not having ; any preventive care that would have extended his life could see this monumental law. And yes your right about one thing,it most likely fail,because so many want it to. What ever became of the principal..this is what we have to work with,lets make it work. Instead of every time we just talk it to death..both parties are failing us because all; they want is to out do the other.

Thanks Maya^^^for the heads up,and the warm welcome back..no I have never been offended at all by any member.. I think its because I am used to being in a diverse culture ..thanks for being helpful,its truly refreshing,a great reason to be here,everyone is very polite,and considerate...like my lds Grandson.. a christian forum is where I fit in best,we always have something in common,thanks again...God bless ~ teddyk :)

:) Yes^^^but they have to be told by Mrs.Grandfather..uh er Mama,its time to go to sleep.

I think the God that dealt with Jesus was the first God,I have no proof,its just why would he not be the one to do it.He could delegate,he would not get worn out by doing this job. Jesus is our God as well,I thought of this once,if I could reach the ripe old age of 900 I know I would have a city full of grand kids,if I saw one of thoughs kid's,had what it take's to be like me,nothing would prevent me from being there when he went through the pain and suffering to save my other kids in the city.Opps..there I go,you see,now I am thinking like a Grandfather.

@...magnava,thanks for the support^^^wow! I read your profile,you have lived a most neat life,your young uns and sweet Queen seem awesome,congrats!! and I noticed you used your very first post for me,unless I am seeing thing's,I had a glass of wine today(which is the first in years).Really!!! your 1st post? that's cool,anyway's if so,glad you joined,you will most certainly be loved on this site...oh btw welcome,I think I can say that,he he,I have been absent for way to long here,on the forum.

Hi john doe,thanks,you must have had an idea I knew the answer you gave,truth be known I never feel I know all the answer.I have been alone most of today,letting you in on thoughs detail's would not be good right now,I'm trying to get it off my mind,as you may guess,I am not used to the house being empty,not even for one hour.Reminds me of when I was away in the Marine's,this empty day was not planned,it just happened.Not to be concerned,I am a big boy and will be fine around mid-nite are so when my family returns,them being gone till that hour is very rare.

@ john doe..taught the god of the,king james bible,by grandparents mostly,who all lived close by in a mid western town,a bit like Mayberry usa :) also I must include,aunts,great aunts,cousins,uncles,a very large an mixed group; Baptist,Lutheran,Catholic,Episcopal,Presbyterian,Methodist,Pentecostal,Lds,re-Lds,the list is almost endless,I wrote them all down once in amazement. My one Grandmother,is the most important I think,she was very modest,smart,kind,thoughtful,giving,helpful,resourceful,respectful,soft spoken,steadfast,no one I ever met,ever had a bad moment with her,she read her bible every day with out fail,when I was a kid,this would happen in front of a warm glowing fire,in her cozy well kept home,she loved me unconditional,she took me to see her friends in town every Sunday,an other great goings on through the week at every church house you can name,it always amazed me that the whole world seemed to know her,I think I was about 12 when it dawned on me that these where all different church's,this was how I was raised. I count my lucky stars for having her and the others in my life,an thank God daily that these people where blinded by love,I don't know what they saw in me. I left all this,as a teenager,when I served in the Marines,an yes I found my dream,it all came true,yes I would go back home someday,but I knew I had to accomplish what I was taught,what I was meant to do,my purpose for me in this life..it was good. Not perfect,no,but it all worked out,I'm still doing it,that's the blessing..really.

...give or take 6 month :) sorry,my short term memory is my lame excuse,for this. So is it ok to ask for a redo? at this topic? I will assume you approve; I think it best you know a few small details about me; 1)I type funny,not offended if you LoL. 2)I'm not LDS,no I don't want to get answers from the really sweet young men,that drink my water,when they knock. (they did not ask,I offered it,was hot at times) 3)I hang out with a Grandson that is LDS,he is my pride and joy. Know,I must confess,I have done this post for a sneaky purpose; I need to know what you know about this heavenly father personage LDS pray to,I have heard all the other name's for him that are out there,I do not care to much about what his handle is,because I have meet him,but he never once introduced himself,unless,I was not paying attention,this is not my question,when I state my reall question,its not because I have any grudge against the creator,it just seems to me that anyone can make a mistake; the question from what you know,can the personage you call god,make a mistake? Not the big picture,just for example,could he buy the wrong wall paper for his home? That type of mistakes,or even a bit bigger,like can he say..opps! I cave teddy brown eyes he would look better with blue...O btw,I have hazel :) Note: I would not hold it against him,if he did make mistakes,as long as he makes it up to us someday,not because he is required to do so,just because it seems to be,the nice thing to do...thanks.

Well the Mormons and I could just say we are all "Followers of Jesus" would that be a novel idea,all Christians could agree to place this name on the buildings,then when you get inside an listen,you can then decide to stay or go down the street,that way none of us would be confused about the other,would that work?

Reading this thread I had a final accumulative effect, I've just now decided to no longer consider my self as "agnostic" I'll be making it so.

warning! if your joking I may break into laughter, please provide super glue or duck tape.

Do you pay tithe on the money you get from your insurance company for an injury occurred. I know offerings should be given.

If I where in his shoes, I'd ask myself will I still love her in heaven,when she is again as attractive as the day he asked "will you marry me" I do understand his problem tho,it is a hard one.
