Borders, Trade and International Developments
Manners Matter replied to Traveler's topic in Current Events
"Factually, a civil war was ongoing in Ukraine for well over a decade. NATO exploited that civil war to create a U.S. proxy war against Russia. Zelenskyy is not negotiating for peace; he’s buying time against what Trump wants to do. He’s buying time for the EU/UK and corrupt NATO interests to organize a separate funding mechanism for continuation of war. The UK/France have promised to provide the intel service. The EU/UK now need to organize the funding mechanisms. They are doing it currently. A generally belligerent Volodymyr Zelensky, who will not accept any terms for negotiated peace (so far), continues playing the victim and saying Russia is violating terms needed for peace. NATO and the EU alliance continue telling Zelensky to keep fighting; Zelensky rejects anything that stops the fighting; NATO and the EU alliance continue demanding that President Trump support Zelensky. That’s the current cycle. Putin knows the game, that’s why he is keeping up the offensive action." -

Some good points here. I should've included "according to G-d's will". However, most people aren't aware of how much can be done and is possible outside of the big pharma trap.
-
There are two different scenarios being lumped together here. Obviously, there's a difference between sweets and sodas and fresh food from the garden. One is food, the other is not and no one is expecting a prayer/blessing to change that.
-
I get what you're saying but you're basically setting yourself up for never eating out, never eating at a potluck, someone's home or accepting any food from the RS when you're in need because all of those options are out of your control with the quality of the food. I will also add this - you can use intention to clear the food yourself and then ask G-d to amplify your efforts. For any interested - look up the Water Experiment by Dr. Masaru Emoto
-
Maybe this scripture is a "teaching that helps [you] believe He will"? Doctrine and Covenants 10:5 Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work. Seems to me, Satan would want sick and unhealthy people for a myriad of reasons and there are people/organizations that do as well.
-
Ah, ok. Well, I firmly believe that G-d needs some healthy people that can help the unwell. I also believe that wanting to be healthy is a righteous desire so why wouldn't He help me with that? To use your example though, "don't expect to eat tainted/mrna food and be well if you don't at least make a simple request in prayer to change the makeup of it".

In case caring for the grandchild doesn't help her feel like her self again, there are people with knowledge, skills and abilities that could help. There are facebook groups that she can join and ask questions anonymously and get answers/suggestions that can lead to even more insight. There's also a lot of free info online she can access. There are people who *had* deep depression and/or chronic illness who no longer do. Healing is possible - emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. If it wasn't, why would we be given the gifts of the spirit which includes the gift to heal and the faith to be healed, neither of which are gender specific.

First, no - things aren't set and can be adjusted. There are several factors that go into how nourishing and strengthening foods are for you (ie if your body isn't absorbing the nutrients, it doesn't matter how clean your diet is; eating while stressed is just as bad or worse than eating a cheeseburger from McDonald's). Furthermore, considering that food is altered and things put in it these days (ie mrna vaccine), ya I'd be upping my prayer game big time. "please cleanse it from all impurities and harmful elements to any degree" "humbly ask that every element that is harmful to the body in any way be removed so this food and water is clean, pure and healthy"

I didn't see where it mentioned she/the family members live in Houston. Furthermore, yes, I'm aware there are costs, etc to move but it's best that aid goes to permanent solutions and not band-aids. Also, we don't know what line of work they're in so that may be easier than you seem to assume. As far as the ward helping, that's supposed to be temporary as well. Hence, needing to put solutions in place for the long game.
-
In 1854 the First Presidency taught, “True charity to a poor family or person consists in placing them in a situation in which they can support themselves” Sounds to me like permanent solutions need to be put into effect. Family members that are barely making it need to combine households and in an area that's cheaper to live. All need to understand the difference between needs and wants and act accordingly. She needs to be told of all the resources to clear up the health issues so she can be better employed and/or shown ways to earn money on her own. The ones who can't help financially can be the ones to help run an etsy shop, tend the vegetable garden, etc. It's good of you to want to give and that may still be necessary but things need to be addressed with the long game in mind. Oh - if you do give, it would be best if she were able to do something in return so you're essentially paying her for her help. You might need to get creative but it would help her keep her dignity and feel valued.

Election Charges Against Trump: Dropped
Manners Matter replied to Carborendum's topic in Current Events
This is all about smoke and mirrors. The case was never legit and the election is being used to drop it to save face and 'without prejudice' is just another way they're trying to make it look like it wasn't just nonsense all along.
