It is amazing how many people will learn how to swim if they are forced to sink. that goes for charity too. digging into someone elses pocket that is force

I knew someone that every fast and testimony meeting would give a ten minute talk. It was a hobby to see what he would say. Would talk abut things off the internet he brought up think he have to say them. Quote movies and life story. Stories such as the switchman and the bridge. Stories in especially for mormons. Many are morbid twinkies to get a point across. Bruce R McConkie said to read a written sermon is o not rely on spirit. Need to rely on spirit and talks can give you them but use them in talk not the talk. A movie like charly lds contemporary music and other fictional stories sure it teaches truth but does it edify is it by the spirit as well that is what is important.

No never was. Joseph was teasing his dad about drinking it. Then BRM felt even on something as smalll as what to drink in apostles dinner he should obey should always obey. Joseph wondered if it was unrighteous dominion for a senior member to insist his junior drink buttermilk. And brm learned to like buttermilk. Point of story was you dont distinguish between unrighteous dominion and people that dont question have a greater portion of the spirit with them.

Not blind obedience but faith obedience You follow leaders because you have faith they are caled of God. Doctrine and Covenants section 1:38 says what I the lord have spoken I have spoken wether by my voice or the voice of my servants it is the same. Heber J Grant told Marion G Romney even if prophet is wrong follow him and you will be blessed but he wont be wrong. Joseph Fielding McConkie went to his parents house for dinner after he was married. He saw his dad take a glass of buttermilk. Jokingly he said isnt that the first line of apostatsy. Then his father explained he didnt like it but a senior member of the twelve saw he was served it after a meeting. When asked how do you tell between righteous and unrighteous dominion he said you dont and people that always question dont have as big a portion of the spirit as those that are obedient to there leaders. Is it necessary to pray about wether you should pay tithing, keep the law of chastity, for young men serve a mission, marry in the temple, some may object to this for a married couple decide wether or not to bring children into the world the prophets even recently at church schools spoke on that matter. Read Earl C Tingeys may 2004 ces fireside, C Scott Grow;s Jan 2002 devotional and Russel M Nelsons feb 2005 devotional. The lord has spoken on that if you have faith those servants are called of God. Its not were they said it but is it true. Keep word of wisdom. I think Joseph Smith said we dont ask God what he already revealed. If the lord is the one that called you you should never say no to a calling. Husbands are to preside in righteousness in the home doesnt mean they are superior just preside decided who says the prayers and other family descisions. If you have been through the temple you know the answer of never criticizing the lords annointed

Things we can do to put families back together. 1. As a culture, more strongly discourage premarital sex and cohabitation. Premarital sex sometimes leads to premature marriages built out of necessity. While the guy ultimately "does the right thing" he resents it, and the foundation is week. Alternatively, the gal has the baby and is an instant single mom--aka broken family. Cohabitation leads to a higher risk of divorce after marriage. Sociologists agree on this. A pattern of "I can always leave if MY needs aren't being met" results, once again, in a poor foundation to the marriage. Sex ed. in schools should unapologetically stress abstinence. We parents should talk the talk here, and set the expectations. 2. Churches need to strengthen their men's groups and programming. Additionally, leaders may want to work at ways in which general church programming can be made more appealing to men. Often what happens is that since most attenders are women, the programming gradually becomes "feminine." When men do come, they feel awkward. 3. Parachurch organizations, like Promise Keepers, should be supported by church leaderships. Other forms of small group meetings for men to support each other, and be frank with each other, can be powerful. 4. When the worst happens, real men pay their child support, honor visitation promises and times, and try to bolster their children through the visits, not compete with or demean the mom. These are just some random thoughts. Hopefully there's something fruitful here. ← That stat sounds like Jesse jackson complaining about the population of blacks in prison. Does that stat tell you what percentage of crimes are commited by those people. You go to pison if you commit a crime not because of your race. That side is biased I some other stats at www.prodeathpenalty.com on innocence and its not near what they are telling you. How many are actually released from prison. An escaped or released murderer can murder another innocent man an executed murderer won;t. Alma has good points defending the death penalty. D and C 42:19 and nephi he that kills shall die. I think homicide would go down if it was suicide basically. His blood cries for vengeance. If you are against the death penalty you are saying ticking someone off being in the wrong place at the wrong time or a number of other reasons are worthy of death but intentionelly taking another human life isnt. That doesnt make sense.

Could the reason more black people are executed is because more of them commit murder. Trying to pull race card. But do they see the race percentage of victims or how many are put to death in proportion to the crime. The lord is no respector of persons and law shouldnt either. Regardless of skin color if someone commits pre meditated murder they should forfeit there right to live. What would happen if Wisconsin had a death penalty would Jeffrey Dahmer of done what he did. And what more punishment could the person that killed him get in prison. None really with no death penalty in prison there is no reason not to murder. For Dahmer my heart does not bleed for him by the wicked are the wicked punished.

I know some people that treat Christmas like the sabbath. Had companion that wouldnt stop at convenient store for that reason. Played football that morning though. Those stores are open. Christmas falls on sunday this year so that wont be an issue. However when it doesnt fall on sunday would you go to a place of amusement bowling alley skating rink, movie. I see no problem with it. I know some people that ski that day and people dont like working there. Businesses that open on christmas make that choice too and when people take those jobs they know that it requires christmas work when they apply. It is nice to spend the day iwth your family and Christmas is on a sunday this year. But I see no problem with patronizing a place of amusement on a weekday christmas day. It is a legal holiday not a holy day.

If you believe Jesus is God of this world thou shalt not kill he that killeth shall die. It is better that a millstone be hung around there neck and dropped in the depths of the sea. He that killeth shall die. He instituted the death penarlty for murder dont know were he said not too. People make him after there own image though.

All the people he touched in the last 26 years. What about the people because of his crimes were not able to be touched in the years. He traumatized families of 4 innocent people does anyone care about that or the reason he was given the death sentence in the first place. Those victimes were traumatized a lot more than a pretended remorse. He didn't care too much about the consequences before he illegally took 4 lives. Does anyone listen to Ken Hamblin. I can't get him on the radio or on internet right now. He will have a hay day. I don't agree with that myself. he always plays another one bites the dust and celebrates when a murderer is put to death. They should be but celebrating it is sick. He really had a hay day when Karla FAy Tucker was killed. I owuld oppose the death penalty if those people who killed wouldnt kill first then we wouldnt have to worry about it. But since they dont respect human life there lives should not be respeced.

If legislatures and judges decided cases on wether riots would break out or not would be a sure mob rule.

D and c 42:19 thou shalt not kill but he that killeth shall die.

Judge not unrigteously but judge righteous judgement. Dallin H Oaks gave a talk on that. For safety he should be locked up. Scriptures support capital punishment. For the sake of society;s safety I would believe in it. State has duty to make judgements as does church. We need to make righteous intermediate judgements and it is righteous to belief the fit punishment.

Joseph Smith told his brother to go ahead and get married right away. There is nothing wrong with that. I have even heard of stories were a dying spouse told someone to marry soon why shouldnt they.

There are innocent people that get it. But a cure all for it is chastity before marriage fidelity after and avoidance of alll homosexual activities. I can't figure out gay people wanting to fight funding for it when there behavior that can be controlled causes it.

In acts the people willingly gave of there substance the united order people give willingly. Socialism is confiscation by force. SAtan is force and Christ will never use force.
