    Direct employment by the Church requires a TR.   There are subcontracted jobs that can be/are filled by non TR holders.

    There is also a sort of divine precedent to communicating with walls, although it was written, rather than verbal
    (Book of Mormon | Alma 10:2)
     I am Amulek; I am the son of Giddonah, who was the son of Ishmael, who was a descendant of Aminadi; and it was the same Aminadi who interpreted the writing which was upon the wall of the temple, which was written by the finger of God.

    I don't think you should limit it to just two reasons - there are probably thousands

    Ah, so when a German looks down their nose to talk about questionable music taste, they see Kiss.  Got it.
    As for mirkwood's taste, well, I'd question it, but he might doctor-up a no-knock warrant and have me hauled off in the middle of the night, so I'm leaving that one to you.  (Just to be on the safe side, I might go text the Stake President's wife now and ask if she knows any good bail bondsmen...)

    He is just as bad as my 1st husband's son. He starts on Nov 1 also. The only time he eases up is during the two weeks of the Sturgis SD 'Run' when he is so busy taking orders for the custom leather goods company he works for. As soon as he is on the airplane coming home, he starts posting on FB again with the ghoulies.

    mirkwood reacted to Older/Wiser? in Emergency Preparedness for Economic Crisises   
    We were just called to be the emergency preparedness specialist in our ward.  I buy things all the time and I am concerned about people getting this done, no don' t go into debt, but life is about choices, giving up a want for something  The Lord has told us to do.  I brought home another 6 bags of beans , one of those purifiers with extra filter, and a 50lb bag of oatmeal cost $116.  That would be about one trip from SLC pulling a boat.  I see enough people coming to the lake, I see them in church filling  every nook and cranny.  So I would hope people who "play" are totally prepared, if not the consequences may be hard to bare,  and they just might not hear the whispering of the spirit if they won't listen to the loud voice of the prophets. One problem we have is our ward is so geographically large communication with each other could be a problem both sides of the lake . I bought a short wave radio before we were called just for that purpose so now I need to get some organized system with block captains. Not sure quite how to make it really effective, if people won't get there food how can I get them to get radios.

    It occurs to me that if you have a network wherewith to send pictures, you also have a network wherewith to do voice and video calls (as well as text and email).  Would a video call not be preferable to a picture?

    Here is a link to the lesson I taught for years in my ward:  preppercop.blogspot.com (blog format). 
     
    I am now the stake preparedness specialist.  I'm trying to get the ward specialists motivated and teaching food storage in our stake.  While all aspects of self reliance are important, my prompting in this calling is to have them teach food storage for our stake/wards.

    If you like sci fi military fiction: Dan Abnett's, Gaunts Ghost's series.  Also his Eisenhorn and Ravenor series.  I'm currently re-reading the GG series for the third or fourth time.
     
    Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series is also very good.
