The epitome of selfishness.

If you use your native language the way it is meant, using proper grammar, you won't have any of these problems.

Meal, ready to eat. Three lies for the price of one.

My fear would be the Nork's chemical weapons. They have enough to wipe out a large chunk of the population of Seoul.

Wayne May has a lot of information about this stuff. Google him.

My wife says my taste is all in my mouth. About the only thing I insist on choosing are ties.

This is some seriously bad stuff when used by the right person. My son is a black belt in both Taekwondo and Kuk Sool Won. When he was stationed at Ft. Bragg in the 82nd Airborne, he was shopping at the Spring Lake Walmart. As he was going to his car, two punks, one with a knife, tried to rob him. I'm not quite sure what he did, but the punk with the knife took an extended nap and was taken away unconscious in an ambulance. The second punk was put on the ground a second or two after the first was disarmed. My son later told me that the second punk obediently stayed on the ground and was desperately grateful when the police came for him.

34 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? 35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson— 36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. 37 That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man. 38 Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God. 39 We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion. 40 Hence many are called, but few are chosen. (Doctrine and Covenants 121:34–40)

I read part of an article from the leftest yellow rag, Salon, in which the poor little snowflake author was screaming homophobic, bigoted, etc., etc., etc., because of this statement. The communist left are perpetual, eternal victims and everything offends them except when you agree completely with their perverted agenda.

Personally, I don't feel pretty all that often. I'm kinda a homely guy and if you ever saw what I wear, you would realize that what other people think of the way I dress is the faaaaaaaaaarthest thing from my mind.

Right on! This is so very true. You can still lust after your wife.

Lots of advice here about prayer, etc. Why not do as the temple endowment teaches and cast out the evil spirits projecting their thoughts, feelings, and attitudes on you?

Yep. Opinions are like noses - everybody has one and some are bigger than others.

When I read articles like the following is when I have serious doubts about GMO's. The "studies" often are funded by the same companies who make money off their products. Believing that they are unbiased and neutral is a little too credulous for me. A study funded by Monsanto would be like asking the fox to do a safety study on the hen house. The last thing I base my opinion on is the health problems I experience when I have anything with high fructose corn syrup in it. Not only me, but many other people I know, including my children. I've posted studies like this before here, but they were pooh-poohed by those who are more wise than me. http://responsibletechnology.org/allfraud/genetically-modified-corn-study-reveals-health-damage-and-cover-up/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-truth-about-genetically-modified-food/ http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/04/08/10-scientific-studies-proving-gmos-can-be-harmful-to-human-health/

When you can come up with a study that is not sponsored by Monsanto, the U.S. Government, or anyone with financial interests in big agriculture, I'll look at it. I reject out of hand, any study that is funded by Monsanto or the government. Both have serious financial interest in the studies and the researchers are more worried about their funding than the truth. There is a quote from a Scifi author that is applicable in this case. “The bigger the lie, apparently, the more likely the uninformed were to accept it, simply because they couldn't believe any government would tell such an absurd story unless it were true.” ― David Weber, On Basilisk Station Anyone who believes that Monsanto or the government can produce an honest result might be interested in some really good bottom land I have just outside Death Valley. I'll even sell it at a discount.

Oh, please. In other news, Bertha Mae Hunnycut is in the news again. The previous invasion of her trailer park by rampaging aliens long ago has actually resulted in something wonderful. Bertha Mae is announcing her engagement to Montortus Greegumptious, the leader of the Milky Way Galaxy galactic patrol. They plan on taking their honeymoon at the Moonview Resort on the planet, Goffmimington.

So, if the law of the land requires doctors to perform abortions and does not allow them to opt out, will God hold a doctor blameless for murdering an innocent child?

How is it weird and tricky? Modesty is pretty simple and it applies equally to men and women. No tight clothes, no low cut tops - front and back, no clothes above your knees when you sit down; simple and easy to understand, nothing tricky. I had a bishop jacked me up because my garment bottom stuck out from the bottom under my shorts when I sat down. I changed my shorts out. No big deal. Something to think about: Sister Elaine S. Dalton said our attitude towards modesty is an accurate indicator of our testimony.

"... Modesty is the foundation stone of chastity." Ensign, April 2007. I guess it must be pretty important after all.

The Church already came out about this. If you are LDS and get "married" in a same sex relationship, you are to excommunicated. So, no, the Church will tell them to divorce and then renounce the practice of same sex marriage before thinking about letting them be baptised.

Big time.

I completely disagree with this. Simply compare every other "Christian" church's doctrine or what it believes with what is taught in the Bible. All those who claim we are saved only by grace are wrong, since the Bible teaches otherwise. Then the very few that teach that works are the only way are wrong. Then look at their foundation. Are they built on the foundation of apostles and prophets? If not, they are wrong. How many churches believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever? If they claim to do so, do they believe in continuing revelation? All that do not are wrong because if God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then there must be continuing revelation since this is the pattern God set from the very beginning. As for the Catholic Church, here is a quote from its website: " ...The Church cannot change its doctrines no matter how badly some theologians may want it to or how loudly they claim it can." The Catholic Church has changed its doctrine several times beginning with the Counsel of Nice. How about infant baptism and pouring water over the head for baptism instead of immersion? How about the sale of indulgences or the Inquisition? None of these things were ever in the Bible.

This has the possibility of treading on forbidden ground, specifically, in asking for signs. In his book, Faith Precedes the Miracle, Spencer W. Kimball talked extensively about how faith must come before any miracle; it is the mandatory prerequisite requirement for calling down the powers of Heaven. When visiting the Nephites, the resurrected Savior said to his Nephite disciples, "...So great faith have I never seen among all the Jews; wherefore I could not show unto them so great miracles, because of their unbelief." (3 Nephi 19:35) What stops miracles is unbelief, usually as a result of believing, however ignorantly or unknowingly, in the wisdom and learning of the world. Modern medical science outright laughs at the idea that evil spirits cause illness; for that matter so do many LDS. To science and its adherents, those who believe in these things are uneducated, backward dolts without the sense God gave to a gnat, when actually, it's quite the opposite. Faith is a higher law, a celestial law, and an all-too-high number of LDS are not living up to this law. No amount of signs will change that.

Why would the Lord reveal anything else or more significant to the Latter-day Saints when they are not living up to what has already been revealed? You notice that in general conferences or in the Ensign magazine, the only thing talked about is the basics? That's because of two reasons: first, there is a constant inflow of new members who can only handle the basics, and, second, the longer time LDS aren't living the basics, let alone anything advanced. Anything advanced, the mysteries, are primarily left up to the individual member to seek out.

What would you consider a "big miracle?" Changing the weather? Stopping the rain? Making fog go back? Casting out unclean spirits and, as a result, healing the sick? Raising the dead? I have personally witnessed some of these performed by a complete nobody in the Church, except he had the necessary faith to do them. There is no criteria for performing miracles other than it be the will of God and the person has sufficient faith. The prophet or apostles don't do these miracles today because it is not God's will. Anything other than the above are not permitted except when God commands. However, even the above requires a tremendous amount of faith, which the average LDS simply does not possess. When someone is sick, I have heard Latter-day Saints say time and time again, "Call the doctor." I do not hear, call the elders and give me a blessing. In Elder's Quorum about three years ago, a brother asked for a blessing. He said that he'd been sick for several weeks and had seen doctor after doctor, none of which helped him. In asking for the blessing, he said, "I've tried everything else. I might as well try a blessing." His statement indicated that he had faith in doctors, which were his god, but not faith in his Heavenly Father.
