Bullfeathers. you don't know that and neither does he.

They actually ARE evil conspiracies. Look what "entitlements" have done to the black community in the US. They have created dependency where none existed before. I think it's morally reprehensible that any member of the church would deliberately put himself/herself in the position of taking government or any other assistance. Think Venezuela.

It's a corollary.

This is very common. The bishopric does this a lot in many Wards in other ways, such as having meetings with members etc during the same hours.

I've known a few.

I don’t usually watch cable news shows. I watch the cable commentary shows about one hour per day. My newspaper is the Wall Street Journal which I download daily onto my iPad. It’s not free. I frankly don’t know how to get news from Facebook, although supposedly some big percentage of the population does this.

I think they were referring to a society of two. Themselves. There is a not so secret society out there, however. That is the insidiousness of Socialism/Communism. If one looks at the tactics of the leftists in the US over the past year, it is exactly the same sort of tactics used around the world by these same fellow travelers to gain power in many societies.

Your statement about the limitations of SALT is very true. Luckily they are still allowing interest for second homes. I was at a tax seminar yesterday (I’m a CPA)and for most people making $175K or less there is a tax cut in your future!

I doubt number one is true. Number two is of course true. One must look at the context of the above quoted scriptures as well as to the times in which they were revealed unto man. Likely the term Son in the POGP quote is essentially a title. D&C quote clearly applies to this earth and none other. For us, there is no savior other than the Christ. In fairness all the above are opinions. No one really knows the answer. my personal belief is that each world has its own Saviour.

The Church needs perspective from outside the Mormon corridor, that’s for certain. I dont care about color, but the next apostles should come from outside the first world.

No tax cut for the not so rich. My taxes will increase significantly.

I personally agree with your take on this matter. For instance in Latin countries Díos mío (my God) is a common expression with no intended insult to the Diety.

Of course there is. Sons too. That’s us.

Most women think and act the same. Marry the best looking one.

True. Everyone’s hand is different. I’m a big SIG fan, but YMMV. My favorite SIG is the P210. I have an older version, but the new one has a more extended beavertail the prevents hammer bite. Best version of the 226 is the target model X-5. It’s single action and very sweet.

It’s a sweet gun.

Got into varmint hunting a few years ago. Here’s the go to gun for ground squirrels. Anschutz 1717 with S&B scope.

My favorite carry revolver. Freedom Arms Model 97. .22LR

So? Mother’s day was started by a greeting card company.

It seems like you are uncomfortable with this guys past. Thats unlikely to change. Find another person to marry. You are both very young and there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Ear piercing is very cultural. My wife is from Latin America and piercing is done to female children at around six months of age. The girls grow up with earrings in their ears. My daughter was pierced at an early age, and my granddaughter, whose mother is Mexican, also has pierced ears. She’s now eight. OTOH, my mother never had her ears pierced in her lifetime. A different culture. Hinckley’s comment about the Church having no position on piercing, certainly reflects the growing number of Latins joining the church at that time. BTW, the rule on engagement ring cost is two months salary. A good argument for marrying young, when one’s salary is low!

Tracking is generally a waste of time. Your son should contact local administrators or charities and get involved in service projects. Just wearing the name tag is high visibility and they’re doing the right thing too. Remember that people who are involved in helping others are more likely to be receptive to the Church’s message.

I do not buy evolution theory. I didn't descend from any monkey or gorilla. YMMV.

No stores open in Germany on Sunday now. Yeah, they’re secular

He could, but the stores are closed.
