the Ogre

Jennifer:Welcome to LDS.net. I'm glad you are here. Congratulations on your recent baptism. Aaron the Ogre

Yeah, I grow a beard and wear sneakers without socks. It helps when trying to avoid the uber-mormon horde.Maybe I should stop brushing my teeth. That would probably keep everyone away.

You are right for both pro and con CK-polygamy. I was joking with the dudes as punks line. Nothing in this thread matters. If we live it, then we do. If we do not, then we don't. We still don't know and as such ought to focus on what we do: no polygamy now . . . thank goodness.The only advantage I see is more adults teaching FHE. The interior-decorating battles (or bathroom-scent debacles) would leave me mowing the neighbor's lawn and planting their tomatoes.

I have read it, though I have not studied it close enough to advocate it. It is a nice counter-point to all the maya-junk. We don't know where they lived and honestly it does not matter.For me, the topic is only passingly interesting. Trusting in genetics (a brand-new science) is dangerous. I think often the interpretive-methodologies are flawed and tend to be propagandistic. I think we ought to wait thirty to fifty or so years while the dust settles down to look for real conclusions.

Yay, I vote with Snow.

Sorry Beef and Glen. I hate speculation about as much as I do mormon-apologetics. Very dangerous stuff, both of them. Aaron the Ogre

Oi, what a great idea. I'll use it.

And as such close your ears, stuff your ears with your necktie, and wrap your head in gauze appearing as a mummy, sightless, soundless, and mute to what a loving G-d has to say to us today.Unwrap your head and bask in the light of the L-rd. H- loves you and has much to say to you.

I love the idea of a member ID. I wonder if it too will be wrapped into the national ID when it finally rolls out.

It was a jibe at LDS prophets. It's happened before. AJ isn't first or last to accuse us of following false-prophets.

It only seems that way because you refuse to listen. You refuse to learn. You refuse to see the others on this forum as equal dialectic partners. Spewing propaganda and patronizing others in no way makes you a good representative of your faith.One of the best mods on this site is not LDS. Prison Chaplin and Dr. T have worked for years on this site even before it was LDS.net learning from us and sharing their knowledge. Neither are insulting. You are insulting. BTW, don't modify anything. I love it when people start screaming about false prophets in an LDS forum. It makes them sound like geniuses.

Because you are pontificating. You are not involved in a dialogue or conversation when you obviously refuse to listen and refuse to educate yourself about whom you are speaking.Stop thinking we are ignorant children.

Duh!?!Ummm, mod dudes . . . how long has this troll been allowed to walk about?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but that David Berg accusation took a little long to completely research (I never take wikipedia at face value). Comparing LDS prophets to David Berg is hilarious. Yep, that is your Hebrews thing. Gotcha. I simply reply it is nice to have modern prophets to make sure Paul is not confusing. Whatever, "The Word of God" does not define what you think it does. What an odd connection. John 1.1 does not have anything to do with Satan. Do not use something you apparently do not understand to criticize LDS doctrine. Oh and are you the great savior to teach us. Please shower me in thy mighty light from that mighty-mighty rameumpton stand. I wish I could be just like you. yes Yes YES!!! Yes, J-sus is the finisher of our faith, but who do you think you are jumping on all the unlearned on this forum? The next Joseph Smith maybe? I think you are the David Berg of this site.If you chose to remain ignorant of LDS doctrine, why bother to come and post. It isn't like other saviors haven't come along with their whispered messages of "you just don't get it" craziness to teach us how we are screwed up.

You know what, this is one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Loads of nice, kind, American Chr-stians think Latter-day Saints are a bunch of brainwashed cultists. All 13 million of us.I think drawing comparisons between the occult and Latter-day Saints is dangerous. Don't you?

I play DnD v3.5 on Friday nights. I started when GG came out with the first boxed set back in the 70s. I've been playing with the same group of guys since 1997. I have always liked the game, but now I use it to keep track of a friend who other wise would have completely withdrawn from society. WoW: Lvl 73 prot Warrior.

So love as a verb rather then as a noun.

Simple: fewer dudes in the CK then women. One can not restrict those women from exaltation when they did everything they could and all the dudes in the world turned out to be total punks. Look if seven women came up to me and tried some of that stuff out of the blue, I would run screaming in the night (either that or I would sleep on the porch and use the house to shower in if I didn't have a rec-center card).Man, talk about getting the total heebie-jeebies. Women bully men around so bad now, how would one handle it with seven? Yikes.

In the same way I'm thinking of buying half a sheep, but then pureed lamb-chops are just gross. I wonder if that would be improved on with mint-jam.Oooo . . . how about mint-chocolate chip ice-cream lamb-chop floats??? Mmmm yummmmy.

Okay, I am not as much as a stickler as many on this site are going to be, but I think hope and faith here are equal (can you hear the mice: quibble quibble quibble). I think you have the first ingredient: Faith that it is G-d who is doing the healing. I have heard of real faith-healing done by members of other faiths. Remember what Paul said about spiritual gifts. They are not for creating faith, only reinforcing it (quibble quibble quibble). These folks had faith that G-d would heal them and as such H- did. So, first: faith.Second: I believe Authority is a big help. The priesthood is there to be utilized. Priesthood blessings do not take the place of faith, however. Seek out preisthood authority and the blessings the priesthood carries (keep in mind, this has nothing to do with the bearer, it has everything to do with the authority itself). Third: Make sure you are going to the doctor. I know several LDS who feel that doctors are superfulous. I think that is foolish. Part of faith is trusting the L-rd to guide the doctors (even if they are money-grubbing heathens like doctors tend to be) in your care. Forth: have more faith. Fast and pray. Read the scriptures. Post on LDS.net (ummm . . . okay, that might not be a factor, but there are some nice people here who would love to listen and provide support). Fifth: Smile and be happy. Your good spirits and cheer will always help and will broadcast your faith and love of the L-rd.

Man, you make it sound like the movie "Ground Hog Day." I don't think it is nearly so bad. Eventually you forget all the times you brushed your teeth and then you're able to just move along taking time to do the things that are worth doing. think of it like the biathalon: ski ski ski blam ski ski ski blam blam ski ski ski . . .

I do, but I never buy it. My 18 year old still eats the stuff straight from the box. I'll see him later on with brown powder on his earlobes and he'll be like: "what."

I tell my kids all the time that all kids are idiots.Yeah, they love me.

The following quote is from my FaceBook page. I'd like to point out that I actually haven't had anything with caffeine in it for a while (oooo . . . the headaches are not worth going back). Back in the day, I drank a lot of JD, JQ, and JW, so I have no opinion on the caffeine debate.

Man I do, too. Going into the Bilble with the express purpose of finding error is very dangerous. I am not a prophet and nor is anyone else on this site (sorry Presdents Monson, Eyring, and Uchtdorf, and the rest of the Twelve, if any of you are reading this). If you have doubt about something that does not make sense, or something that takes a Ph.D. to understand, then get on you hands and knees and pray about it. The guys who translated the Old and New Testaments were just people subject to very political political systems and as such mistakes and reinterpretations crept in. Fasting, prayer, and faith helps figure out the hard and confusing parts.
