At least he was on his way!! Somehow I thought he had made it.

Austen was not Elizabethan. She was born in the Georgian era and her novels were published is what is generally known as the Regency era of George III. If one has read her novels, she had a fair understanding of not only men but human nature. Particularly the foibles we have.

Both Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris eventually came west. And came back to full faith and fellowship.

This is a very poisonous website. I don’t recommend it at all. Too many antis and jack Mormons.

You know the old saying: If you need something done, ask aa busy man.....😉

By definition, guns are always loaded. When i hunt, I always do it with chamber empty. I don’t use a safety. If one thinks about it, there is no such thing, really. I’ve never lost a shot by taking the small movement to chamber a round. But even should that happen, better safe than sorry. I chamber rounds in my EDC guns because speed is of the essence in a life or death situation. The guns i use are SIG DA/SA semi automatic pistols. There is no safety, but the hammer is blocked when at rest, like a double action revolver. So it won’t discharge unless the trigger is pulled. Very safe. These SIGs use a decocker system to lower the hammer, making the pistol safe.

As a practical matter, because our leaders are not paid, the relatively affluent are the ones that have the ability to serve in positions that demand a lot of their time. Think of this: when most people their age are spending time on golf courses, the GAs are serving mankind.

This is true. Church tradition is that He married Mary Magdalene IMHO I don’t think that there would have been any offspring due to possible leadership problems that would inevitably arisen

I don’t think that there will be any elections. 🤥

If one thinks about it, Satan did not lie in the garden. He stated that Eve would become as the Gods, and would not surely die. Very deceptive and omitted a few facts, but not an actual lie. He did not outright lie about the temporal death (Adam and Eve Went on to live long temporal lives), but he omitted certain things about the spiritual death. He told the truth about Man's possibilities regarding becoming like Gods. Fortunately, a Savior has made all OK, both temporally and spiritually. Gen 1:4 4“You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

"As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may become". God came to earth as Jesus, a man. Now that Jesus has resurrected, we also may become resurrected, through Him. That is the layman interpretation. Of course, us LDS interpret it a little differently.

Got rid of all the books and magazines years ago. Everything I have is on my iPad. A great invention, BTW. Still have some legacy "coffee table" books. Also has anyone seen a coffee table recently????

From Mikbone: "As for enjoying working outside the home. I can’t understand it at all. I work with many over educated men and women. I have way more stimulating conversations with my children. If me or any of the people that I work with won the lottery, we would quit our jobs overnight." I had a friend who worked for a workaholic. His boss always encouraged him through subtle gestures and hints to work a little longer. I asked him why he didn't just stay a little more to get on his boss' good side. He said-"when I'm retired sitting on my front porch I don't think I'll be looking back on the hours I spent at the office." He'll be looking at family times, church service with family and friends etc. Why women even want careers is a mystery to me. I have a great profession that puts me in the upper 1% of all income earners. Frankly there is no pleasure in it, other than I am pretty much able to indulge in my hobbies.. I really try to minimize time at the office. Fortunately, my wife has never worked outside the home. In the early years of our marriage it was at times difficult because I wasn't earning that much. But in the long run, it has been a blessing.

Think of this in context. Jehovah was the God of the Old Testament, and I'm sure the average member of the Church didn't think much past that. Most people even now, aren't that technical. In modern times, even among us Church members we refer to God all the time. But most people don't really think through which member of the Godhead they are referring to.

I've heard of Angels........................Visitations from Angles, not so much.
