  1. Netflix is seeming less important to me since we got Amazon Prime and Hulu. I barely even watch Netflix any more.
  2. The Hill Cumorah is in New York, that is the official church position. The Church remains neutral as to the location of everything else in the Book of Mormon. Also, Elder Joseph Fielding Smith wrote this. Seems pretty clear to me. https://www.fairmormon.org/answers/Book_of_Mormon/Geography/Statements/Twentieth_century/Joseph_Fielding_Smith There is also Letter VII by Oliver Cowdery, which Joseph Smith had placed into the official history of the church. https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/history-1834-1836/83
  3. I taught the lesson yesterday and the discussion lead us to two other talks as well. I read the talk, mark some key points and then let the Spirit guide my thoughts based on the discussion. We almost ended 15 min early and someone made a comment that reminded me of another talk my wife and I were discussing on Friday and the Soirit said Go, so we went to it. Open you heart and mind to the Lord before you begin and follow His lead.
  4. No, I am not backing off from what I have said, they are just rude on top of being fakes scholars. 2 Nephi 9 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
  5. Send them to your friends and loved ones. Feel free to send me one, but I am in Utah, so probably cost more for you to mail it. I will stop at distribution and pick one up in your honor though. This is a pretty funny post, thank you. lol
  6. It doesn't take much research to understand who Satan is as a being. He is evil personified, selfish, vengeful and hate-filled. Rage and egotism, having nothing but contempt for life and freedom. We would do well to focus on the aspects of Jesus the Christ, our redeemer and savior. He is filled with love, joy and happiness. The most giving being in existence and He should be our end goal. I think this hymn says it all. Rev'rently and Meekly Now, 1. Rev'rently and meekly now, Let thy head most humbly bow. Think of me, thou ransomed one; Think what I for thee have done. With my blood that dripped like rain, Sweat in agony of pain, With my body on the tree I have ransomed even thee. 2. In this bread now blest for thee, Emblem of my body see; In this water or this wine, Emblem of my blood divine. Oh, remember what was done That the sinner might be won. On the cross of Calvary I have suffered death for thee. 3. Bid thine heart all strife to cease; With thy brethren be at peace. Oh, forgive as thou wouldst be E'en forgiven now by me. In the solemn faith of prayer Cast upon me all thy care, And my Spirit's grace shall be Like a fountain unto thee. 4. At the throne I intercede; For thee ever do I plead. I have loved thee as thy friend, With a love that cannot end. Be obedient, I implore, Prayerful, watchful evermore, And be constant unto me, That thy Savior I may be. Text: Joseph L. Townsend, 1849-1942 Music: Ebenezer Beesley, 1840-1906
  7. Lol, no. They are just rude. If they can’t be polite then it puts into question their motives.
  8. I don’t trust the interpreter staff. They are very rude If you don’t agree with them. For that matter so is Dan Peterson. I like the director, he is very good and so is Mitch Davis. I am fine with this as long as they remain Historically neutral, but I do not want them to continue incorrect assumptions made by people that assumed things in the past instead of trusting the people who we actually there. I am taking a wait and see approach.
  9. Just based on who is involved with this I will cautious. I just don't trust some of these self proclaimed scholars.
  10. Neither does Star Wars and adventure time. Speaking of Battlestar Galactica, I love when Six removes the inhibitor device from the Cylon Centurions making them self aware and Cavil yells, “Say What!”
  11. Doing as Satan suggested would have been a sin and he came to earth to be like us. When was a the last time you turned a rock into bread? Oh, right, we as humans do not have that ability. Therefore he would have been cheating, thus sinning. he was in the desert to fast and experience hunger and want, not to show off his godlike powers.
  12. This is why I prefer the rain. At least we don’t live in the “POLAR VORTEX!”
  13. Totally agree, so nice to have a President that is not afraid of saying what he thinks.
  14. Try it with a shovel. And yet, today it started melting. It has been a very weird winter.
  15. Yep, thank goodness for Joseph Smith Translation.
  16. I guess I just feel like we should use correct descriptions rather than following an incorrect tradition. Also, we can just ask them if we ever meet them.
  17. Dear Goodness. I may have to throw every star trek toy and nick nack in the trash now. Thanks alot.
  18. Loss of their control over people’s lives.
  19. As a side note. They are never called that in the scriptures. There is no evidence that they were all Nephites, or Nephites at all. They may have all been Lamanites for all we know.
