Absolutely! i wonder how many people whom have insurance and are protesting this issue actually understand the facts and horrible realities that millions of hard working patriotic citizens go thru every day, and also how many billions go out the window every year, or millions every day; because of emergency room treatment on the uninsured; {by the way the statistic you quoted went up from a known 18,000 to an updated 45,000}. Thank you for sharing!:)

actually this will give them more profit because they wont be doing anymore free service to emergency patients and those whom for whatever reason cant pay the bill. And all the {billions} of dollars going out the window from the doctors ,hospitals, and the tax payers for emergency room patients e;t;c....will now be going "into" the health industry instead of flowing "out" of it. Also preventative treatment will cause a whole lot of "last minute" hospital visits. :)

So the lower celestial degrees we cant have children or become as Christ?:)

huckabee, romney, palin and all the other hopefulls need to give it up; Dont they {G.O.P} have a real politician?

Is this another one of those dry british jokes?

I still dont beleive he will stick to this or something is not in context hear? bill oreilly would never beleive in anything that helps the needy americans. NEVER!. if he sticks to this, then i will personaly fly to new york and shake his hand, but it aint gonna happen.:)

Yes is "the" God but is not his son Jesus Christ a God? He raised the dead. he healed the sick and the lame, he gives us eternal life thru his atonement; he causes waters to move, earthquakes to happen,miracles to happen,E;T;C... when giving an answer to a question as this; one must first show that Jesus was the creater of the earth under the name "jehovah" in the old testament and under the direction of his father "God" . but none the less; if anyone would claim Jesus is not a God; then something is wrong.:)

Well i used to be a gear head but if finally came down to paying the rent or buying stuff for the car. so i chose paying the rent; and as for pontiacs. i agree they can defintely be made very powerfull for drag, but suspention issues are a problem for the round track.:)

Yes good questions! and my only thought is one of all the "born agains" i have ever talked to dont beleive in works, and if they do, they beleive "works" are something that comes automatically when we have the lord in our heart, I;E charity, service e;t;c... And it always amazes me none of them ever actually have good "works" {consistantly}. SSSooooo i would suppose none of them are going to heaven if the pathway is the manner in which they beleive.:)

You said it all; the father of three "wonderfull" sons! the most important thing you could ever possibly do is set the excample for those boys with the gospel and preisthood.:)

President Obama is a very intelligent, educated, and wise person; {he actually "earned" his grades in colleage}:)

Yes i have a wonderfull member story to share; and that story is that me and my wife, daughter and son in law all got conferance tickets for sunday morning!! whhooo Hoooo!:) {I know this isnt excatly what you were looking for; but its good news for us!}.

If one reads the bible such things wre commanded by the lord anciently ; not excatly polygamy but other things very similar; {concubines e;t;c} Yes it {polygamy} was commanded initially for a number of reasons that were very legitamate. not sex. but celestial marriage; over time i think members took advantage of the initiall commandment, it got out of hand; but yes you can be assured it was initially commanded.:)

Well after seeing the picture of the first presidency on the wall one can see nothing else but good clean moral pics and all else; the entire environment in our home is driven by the spirit.:)

Hitting rock bottom usually will do the trick when one really starts to seek better things; and lo and behold! we begin then to be able to regognize what spiritual companionship and blessings really are made of and how to separate these things from the ordinary.:)

Ok so after reading various threads in regards to our president of the united states and all the lack of respect for the man and the office amongst most l.d.s; I just got to thinking Why am i a democrat mormon? Well first off i,m a democrat because we do not beleive in abortion as the right would have it, i have never in my 56 years of life met anybody {right or left} That beleives in abortion is a good, moral or correct thing to be done; I do beleive it needs to be the parents, and Gods desicion, not the government; {for those of you whom continually profess smaller and less intrusive government:)};I also beleive in holy scripture, both the bible and l.d.s; that does always instruct us to be tolerant and charitable to those whom have less than we do; W/out citing actuall scripture; it does warn us to be mindfull of and charitable to those whom are in need and it is not ours to be the judge as to what the reasons are why they are poor and in need; it is ours to help our fellow brothers and sisters, Always. The lord God judges, not us. While so many of us big fat cat americans sit around in our big comfortable chairs watching sattelite tv and eating three good meals a day {plus}. drive our gas guzzling cars with heating and air conditioning e;t;c....Enjoy health care insurance for ourselves and families. All the time listening to talk radio and such doing nothing but bashing the little man and his family for being poor, listening to scicotic idiotic liars such as limbaugh. tell of how horrible and wrong it is for this president to actually be wanting to spend money on the needy in this country; I just dont understand how we can spend this country into 500 trillion dollar debt, giving money to corporations tax breaks {that was supposed to create jobs by the way}, killing tens of thousands of innocent people to aquire oil, millions litteraly dieing because of no health insurance. thousands losing insurance every day; And this gos on and on and on {if someone wants to discuss}, In this country it has been proven that about 18,000 people die every year because they canott go see a doctor; myself i went for twelve {12} years working with a broken wrist, doing heavy labor, because when i broke it wnd went to the hospital, {which by the way the taxpayers had to pick up that bill cause we had no insurance and absolutely impossible to pay for it} living in estreme agony each and every day of my life doing the very best i possibly could to try and support my family, i never missed a day of work. EVER!. I have always been a very patriotic american citizen hard working, honest to the core. a few years into my 12 year bone degeneration in my wrist, my wife almost died because of a tubal pregnancy that had burst. {!}, i took her to the local doctor, and because we had no money he sent her on her way, {which happened many times to us}, finally after she started to turn white, i took her to a vegas hospital emergency room, she was under the knife inside of two hours; doctor said another hour and she would have been dead from blood loss. {by the way the american taxpayer had to pick up this bill as well}, I have other horror stories to tell but i beleive I have made my point; So as i set and listen to american citisens condeming this president and those americans whom have not received the blessings of the rest of americans thru no fault of there own, as i listen to how horrible of a thing it is to actually "spend money" on those idiot american citizens whom are idiots because life hasnt given them a fair deal, it truely mmakes me sad to see how far off course we have become; how far away from heavenly fathers instructions; those of us whom are l.d.s and beleive we are being completely worhy all the time condoning hate towards the needy and those whom are trying to help, need to stop and think about what are we doing? why are we acting like this, and where are our morals and values? Are we not instructed to do all we can and should be doing to become more Christlike? in this church when a member is down and out and in trouble, {health or home} we gang together to help, the church has a welfare and tithing system to help not only those of our faith but humanitarian needs across the globe. We do not mock nor deny, but we put forth a helping hand whenever and however it is needed; We now have a president of the united states that cares about all those needy and less fortunate people; those people whom are really and truely dieing for lack of health insurance, those whom are living homeless in the heat and cold, those whom are starving and in need of jobs and life sustaining nutrition of somesort. my freinds, this stuff is real, it is very very real, it happens to millions whom do not deserve it; i can only {and i do daily} pray that as american patriotic citizens we can lift ourselves above the caotic thinking that is so wrong and so misstated by those whom are only afraid of losing a little money from there bank accounts to help those in need as the lord God as warned us. these are only a few of the reasons why i am a democrat mormon. :)

So were actually making fun of him trying to do many good things?

In texas they wouldnt let the president of the united states give encouraging talk to kids, but today they bused the kids to texas stadium to listen to george w bush speak to them and the kids had no choice in the matter. SSoooooo; what is your point? an "ex" pres can indoctornate our kids but a current president we should teach our kids not to respect? give me a break, lets get real.

Yer statement is an absolute lie and you know it; Boy it sure is crazy how people distort things to fit political affiliations and its also sad that discussion board members on a religeous discussion board continue to bring politics into the mix..

This is one of those things that will never go away entirely; I have a daughter whom went thru this many years ago and she is happy and productive person now; well balanced and strong; but the abuse will always be in the back of her mind. For the person whom reapeatedly did this to her; all i can say is that he is only alive because i am a worthy preisthood holder and am still trying to keep a handle on forgiveness;{after 25 years}. God only knows how much hell she has had to overcome thru the years; but anyway today she is very normal in her attitude and life. And i am verry proud of her for being the excample she is.

If we are not including the unltimate super power of the preisthood; then i will go with healing.:)

No doubt!:)

Sounds like ya might need marriage counseling, from an l.d.s counselor; they do have them; :)

Sometimes in order to overcome the advesaries influences we need to adjust; Silent prayers are answered too.:)
