It has everything to do with why it is an RX and not an over the counter drug in the first place... Basically the idea is that they can be very dangerous and need someone that has spent time (aka gone to school) and knows what they are doing to see it done safely...

Indeed alot of people do just that with the laws. The problem becomes one of the slippery slope. People that get away with a little bit some time just stop there, but other times they figure that they can go for a little more, then a little more, and then even more. And that is a problem because even very low odds can catch up with a person with a horrible result

Yeap... There is a hotline and a suggestion box... Its called prayer... and it is even better then a normal hotline or suggestion box do to the fact that it skips the middle man and goes right to the one in charge. Everyone is encourage to use it often and well... So feel free to get on your knees and pour your heart out to the 'man upstairs'. We are promised that he will listen and respond... However we are not promised that he will do what we ask him to.

Oh thats not hard... The church (meaning the collection of individuals) was not ready so it has to be built up to it.

All blessing of a temple sealing depend on personal righteousness. This includes husband, wife, and any children. For example I am sealed to my parents. I am also sealed to my wife and my kids. If I fail then I am out of the picture for both groups but it remains intact for everyone else. As for kids that are not sealed to their parents as they come of age they have the chance to create a sealed family of their own. If they pass on before they get the chance then there is work for the dead that could be done on their behalf.

When you do.. pay closer attention to these... Anti Nephi-Lehis, the Army of Helman, and the prophet called Samuel the Lamanite... Also focus on why the Nephites keep running into problems. (not the external force but why they are vulnerable to it )

The answer will always be Read the Whole Thing... Even if you want to make the case that certain passages appear to be racist. Reading the whole book will make it very clear that skin color doesn't matter. Only Personal Righteousness does. To use bunt racially charged terms for a summary... When the white/light skinned people (Nephites) go evil they are destroyed.. in fact the end of the Book of Mormon had them get totally wiped out because of their wickedness... Whereas the black/dark skinned people (Lamanites) survived. More importantly those that become Righteous are mentioned as being more Righteous the 'prefered' light skinned group (Nephites). In summary the Book of Mormon does a poor job of convincing me I am some how superior because I have light skin... In fact on even the most basic level it says the color of my skin is not what I am (or anyone else) is going to be judged by.
