  1. Not really. The most likely explanation is this was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young that was never canonized because it was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young.
  2. @Maverick are there any issues with the line of authority passing from Joseph Smith to Brigham Young?
  3. Why do you think those two years are significant?
  4. West Jordan, looks I'll be changing districts yet again (eventually.) I'll guess the location south of 7000 S and West of 5600 W. Most likely west of Mountain View Corridor.
  5. @JohnsonJones If you have the experience you say (I'm taking you at your word that you do) then you know how safe that child was and how ridiculous your concerns are. Timestap 7:40 so you can see clearly what you will also see in the next picture. Rifle slung downwards. Time stamp 7:42 the rifle is slung. Non threatening. Puh-leeze JJ...puh-leeze. My bonafides on the topic: I am 26 year officer (still working.) I am a building clearing instructor. I am an active shooter/rapid response instructor. I am a MACTAC instructor (counter terrorist active shooter stuff.) You are really reaching JJ.
  6. @JohnsonJones you are either ignorant of building clearing tactics or looking to complain. With your expressed attitude about the topic you are wrong in either case. I really do not think you want to understand the reasons or care. Your attitude shows. See @Just_A_Guy's first point. Nope, NO APOLOGIES for practicing proper building clearing tactics.
  7. Not really. Most of the convictions and sentencing I've seen have been proper.
  8. Horrible women, I hope they get lengthy prison sentences.
  9. Standard building clearing tactics. I think you're looking for a reason to complain about the police. Standard building clearance tactics, rifle slung downwards. I think you're looking for a reason to complain about the police. Wrong. See above.
  10. I'll get screwed out of about 60% of my SSN because I will have a public safety pension. There are currently efforts to change the laws that take away my benefits. Not really holding my breath.
  11. Curse of Oak Island on the History Channel.
  12. Interesting. Where do you live?
  13. Think of "they" in context of an organization. Example: Officer Mirkwood works in Utah. He is part of the police. They work together to solve crimes.
  14. I must correct myself. There is a second time our leaders have referenced a sign of the times. “If 9/11 (September 11, 2001) was a wake-up call, then the earthquake and tsunami in Southeast Asia (on December 26, 2004), was a kick out of bed. We need to pay attention to the signs of the times.” (Boyd K. Packer, meeting of the Twelve and the Seventy, January 11, 2005).
  15. It is definitely a very big sign. Almost over? No, lots of things still have to happen, that is just a big red flag warning in my opinion.
  16. Here's the actual quote about the missionaries. Heber C. Kimball, Deseret News, May 23, 1931. “An army of Elders will be sent to the four quarters of the earth to search out the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All kinds of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the very elect if such were possible. Our sons and daughters must live pure lives so as to be prepared for what is coming. After a while the gentiles will gather to this place by the thousands, and Salt Lake City will be classed among the wicked cities of the world. A spirit of speculation and extravagance will take possession of the Saints, and the result will be financial bondage. Persecution comes next and all true Latter-Day Saints will be tested to the limit. Many will apostatize and others will stand still, not knowing what to do. Darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the minds of the people. The judgments of God will be poured out upon the wicked to the extent that our Elders from far and near will be called home, or in other words the gospel will be taken from the Gentiles and later on be carried to the Jews. The western boundary of the State of Missouri will be swept so clean of its inhabitants that as President Young tells us, ‘When you return to that place, there will not be left so much as a yellow dog to wag his tail.’ Before that day comes, however, the Saints will be put to tests that will try the integrity of the best of them. The pressure will become so great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and night until deliverance comes.
  17. No, all the missionaries will be called home when that sign occurs.
  18. @carlimac the problem with that video is the individuals have a heavy reliance on the book Visions of Glory. It is filled with doctrinal problems and that renders it a spurious and therefore useless source of information. Is the eclipse a sign? Maybe. Preparedness has always been a part of our beliefs and you should continue working on it whether this is a sign or not. @LDSGator the Brethren are not likely to speak of end times signs. In my lifetime only one time has a sign of the times been pointed out by our leaders.
