    Sorry, but this is not what I am concerned about, and honestly quite rude. What I wrote in this post is the tiniest piece of the puzzle, hardly including his side of the story and exactly what he is dealing with. This was a big assumption to make off a little bit of information. This is exactly why I get afraid to post on these types of forums.

    Don’t be unfair to the poster. Based on the information given, this was a decent answer. I happened to agree with it. 

  2. Are any of you guys married?  In my experience it’s all about the Benjamins for attractive women.  Yes, even my wife.

     

    We were on a cruise a year or so ago and at the table we sat at she noticed she was the only one without a Rolex watch.  Tag Heuer not good enough.   Last Christmas I had to rectify the situation.

    In fairness, when we married, I had nothing.

    Ah yes basing your future marriage entirely on the properties of your bank account. No doubt this man and his wife to be will enjoy many long days of bliss until they inevitably divorce 2-3 months later. Cheers!

    A case of true love. She loves his money and he loves you know what she’s got!

    ...this bugs me a lot worse than it ought to. I know there are bigger injustices in the world, but this really gets to me:

    £50,000 pounds is a lot of money, but a hundred times that amount wouldn't replace the loving effort these guys put into their hobby. I'd like to see a few medieval torture methods revived for people who do this kind of thing.

    Normally I despise the Daily Mail, but on this occasion...

    I'm a big model train guy and one of my best friends lives in the UK.  He wasn't at this show but we both heard about tis on a model train oriented website.  Truly senseless.

    So, following the UN report, published today, if we all keep on living the way we live now, we can expect up to a million species to go extinct pretty rapidly, real soon now. I wonder if this might be of interest to Latter Day Saints, and what might be your reaction to this challenge? Do we have dominion over, or custodianship of, the natural world?

    Best wishes, 2RM.

    I think most of them are algeas and amoebas and such.  So what.

    The whole LGBT issue seems to be a major stumbling block for a lot of members.  I know of two high profile members who have recently become disaffected over this issue.  Many see the Church as being harmful and intolerant towards LGBT people.  I am curious to hear how other faithful Later-day Saints reconcile the Church’s teachings concerning this topic with Christ’s teachings on love and compassion.   

    The Church merely requires its members to be chaste.  If that is anti LGBTQ, so be it.

    Are you looking for D&C 107: 25-26?

    "25 The Seventy are also called to preach the gospel, and to be especial witnesses unto the Gentiles and in all the world—thus differing from other officers in the church in the duties of their calling.

    26 And they form a quorum, equal in authority to that of the Twelve special witnesses or Apostles just named."

    Yes, this is the scripture. 

     

    Any reasonable intepretation seems to mean that in the  absence of the Twelve they have the same authority, just like the Twelve have in the absence of the Quorum of the First Presidency. 

  8. Had Hyrum not died when Joseph did, he would have been prophet of the Church. He had the position of First Elder, by which he would have succeeded. It was due to this anomaly that the succession was contested by Rigdon et al.  Another fact was that Joseph, in a blessing ostensibl named a son as a successor as well  This son went on to lead the RLDS Church  

    we LDS of course, believe that the succession contest was settled in the correct manner.

    Shouldn’t there be a “designated survivor”?  I’m not at all certain, theologically, that the First and Second Quorums of the Seventy have the keys to re-constitute the Twelve if they should all die simultaneously. (The Twelve could confer them at any time, I suppose; but historically I'm not sure such a conferral has ever actually happened.)

    Hopefully, they are taking separate transportation.  Kind of like corporate executives do.

    If the worst happens, the Quorum of Seventy would hold the keys to the kingdom.

  10. The p320 is a modular striker fired pistol. 

    If you don’t know what that means, go buy a Ruger  Single Six, and learn about shooting. 

     

    IMO Sig-Sauer make the best firearms out of the box.   I have several, including a P210, generally considered the best military firearm ever made. 

     

    Glocks are very good in their market niche. 

     

    Of of course if one is really serious about shooting pistols, Korth is the only way to go!😳

  11. I'm sure there is a lot of doo doo to wade through on these sites.  That being said...……..

     

    I know quite a few married couples who met through the internet.  A nephew of mine is one of them.  He and his wife were at the house last night with their one year old.  Delightful family.
