  1. House Votes to Deny Obama Healthcare Law Funds House Votes to Deny Obama Healthcare Law Funds Friday, 18 Feb 2011 03:09 PM WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled House voted Friday to choke off cash to fund President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law, stepping up a fight with Democrats over budget cuts and deficits. The move against the 2010 healthcare law — one of Obama's main legislative victories — is certain to be rejected in the Democratic-led Senate, but it has escalated tensions over federal spending that could lead to a government shutdown. On largely party lines votes, the House approved several amendments to deny funds to federal agencies to implement the healthcare overhaul, which Republicans deride as a costly government intrusion into the marketplace. and as a side note House Votes to Dethrone Obama?s Czars House Votes to Dethrone Obama's Czars Friday, 18 Feb 2011 01:37 PM By David A. Patten The architect of a daring GOP attempt to strip congressional funding for nine executive branch “czars” says it’s only the first salvo in a much larger battle to reverse “radical policies” promulgated by the Obama administration. “Under President Obama, we’ve seen a proliferation of czars,” Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., told Newsmax the day after the House passed his amendment to block spending any federal funds on nine czars, or “special presidential advisers.” “These czars are implementing radical policies,” Scalise told Newsmax in the exclusive interview Friday. “They circumvented the accountability and scrutiny that goes with Senate confirmation, and that’s called for in the Constitution.” . . . . . . .

  5. Wisconsin Dems Go Into Hiding to Prevent Union-Busting Vote Thursday, 17 Feb 2011 02:39 PM Senate Democrats in Wisconsin failed to show up Thursday for a vote on a "union-busting" bill that has prompted police officers to launch a dragnet for the missing lawmakers. Republicans hold a 19-14 majority but a vote cannot be taken until at least one Democratic senator is present. "It's kind of unbelievable that they're elected to do a job and they wouldn't show up to do it," Republican Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald told Fox News. Fitzgerald said the apparent boycott may force the State Assembly to vote first on the bill. But he added that if police officers find the lawmakers, they will bring them back to the chamber for a vote.

  7. Somebody who attends the temple can add a name to the roll.
  8. It's where people worthy of the Celestial Kingdom, in attendance at the Temple join their faith in prayer to the God of Most High in a Celestial place, not of this earth, dedicated to the Lord, for those on the prayer rolls. You can't have much better prayer for those in need anywhere else.
  9. I suffered from massive migraines for years. They got really bad and I Had brain x-rays and mri (nuclear scans) in which they found no causes for the migraines. This was when I was around 25. I was still suffering around the age of 40 (when your eyes change) and found that I needed prescription glasses. I got the glasses and the migraines and a lot of smaller headaches went away and that has been the case for over twenty years now. Worth checking anyway.
  10. So you are saying that the false prophet created a false Church with true Doctrine? And what would angel rafael be doing in the British Ilse? Can you name the last 3 Presidents of the LDS Church?
  11. Congratulations and Much Happiness!
  12. Colossians Chapter 1 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
  13. Christ is the Creator and Redeemer of worlds so numerous that they cannot be numbered by man. As to his infinite and eternal creative and redemptive enterprises the divine word attests: “And worlds without number have I created,” saith the Father, “and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten. … But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you.” As to all of the other worlds of the Lord’s creating we know only that it is his work and his glory “to bring to pass”—through the Redeemer—“the immortality and eternal life” of all their inhabitants. (Moses 1:33, 35, 39.)
  14. The TRUTH is that God can not lie. The TRUTH is that Heavenly Father and Christ rejected the Church being discussed telling Joseph (who was asking which Church was TRUE) that NONE of the Churches were TRUE. PERIOD. That's the plain truth. Period
  15. I think that between our debt, deficit and Obama the world has lost confidence in our economy and wants to move on ie: France Wants to Ditch Dollar as World Currency Tuesday, 15 Feb 2011 07:04 AM France, as current head of the Group of 20 countries, will help the transition to a global financial system based on "several international currencies," French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said on Monday. Lagarde, speaking ahead of a G-20 finance ministers meeting here on Friday and Saturday, said the world had to move on from the "non-monetary system" it now has to one "based on several international currencies." Accordingly, France wants to see less need for countries, especially the emerging economies, to accumulate huge foreign reserves, she said. At the same time, international capital flows should be better regulated and the role of the Special Drawing Rights issued by the International Monetary Fund should be reinforced by the inclusion of China's yuan in the system. China, whose booming economy now ranks second only to the United States in size after overtaking Japan, has accumulated massive forex reserves of more than $2.5 trillion on the back of its sustained trade surpluses and foreign fund inflows. Washington says the build-up reflects an unfair undervaluation of the yuan, a charge Beijing rejects. France has previously said it wanted to see the global financial system reduce its reliance on the dollar for a more broad-based arrangement.
  16. Welcome, I grew up in the Bay Area.
  17. I understand and wasn't trying to judge - just understand the Gospel more. I'm glad for the Gospel's compassion and understanding. I wish you the very best and now I encourage you to fast and pray yourself to your goal of a Gospel family (if that's what you are desiring). Bless you. TGFR
  18. Joseph Smith—Matthew An extract from the translation of the Bible as revealed to Joseph Smith the Prophet in 1831: Matthew 23:39 and chapter 24. 22 For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant. St Mark Chapter 13 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. and speaking to the Jews 2 Nephi Chapter 25 18 Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them, which words shall judge them at the last day, for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them; and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah which should deceive the people; for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets, and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews.
  19. The whole purpose of the Gospel is Family. If you base a marriage, as it were, outside of the Gospel with the distinct possibility that any children would be prevented from participating in the Gospel it would seem to be counter productive. It might sound feasible and ok in the short term but as time goes on you will most likely want a family in the Gospel and would probably resent your boyfriends actions. This would result in much more mental stress and frustration then you are already experiencing now. Quick question, how is it the Mission President is giving the ok for Baptism when you are living with your Boyfriend? I'm not sure I understand that one.
  20. Lost 1-6 is available for internet streaming or network (DVD player streaming for Netflix capable DVD machines)
  21. Yes there are. Why did you find one? Also God hasn't said squat about the book of J
  22. The Word of God can be taken literally and figuratively. The Book of Jacob the Brother of Nephi Chapter 4 9 For behold, by the power of his word man came upon the face of the earth, which earth was created by the power of his word. Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the dearth, or the workmanship of his hands upon the face of it, according to his will and pleasure? The First Book of Nephi Chapter 11 25 And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life; which waters are a representation of the love of God; and I also beheld that the tree of life was a representation of the love of God. The Book of Ether Chapter 4 9 And at my command the heavens are opened and are shut; and at my word the earth shall shake; and at my command the inhabitants thereof shall pass away, even so as by fire. Doctrine and Covenants Section 68 1–5, The words of the elders when moved upon by the Holy Ghost are scripture; 4 And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the mind of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation. Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is blight, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Doctrine and Covenants Section 93 8 Therefore, in the beginning the Word was, for he was the Word, even the messenger of salvation— There are many more examples but the point is the Word of God comes in many different form emanating from Jesus Christ, even He Himself. One Truth is that He Himself has to fulfill it.
  23. You're so right: The Light of Christ is the divine energy, power, or influence that proceeds from God through Christ and gives life and light to all things. The Light of Christ influences people for good and prepares them to receive the Holy Ghost. One manifestation of the Light of Christ is what we call a conscience. (I think it's the reason a lot of people are looking for a Church, the Answer, etc.) even though they might not even know what they are looking for. Also life cannot exist without it.
