  1. In my experience the costs of continued health insurance through Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act were always too high for me to afford. Unless I am in need of health care I know will be coming soon I just let the coverage lapse.
  2. That is so unwise to sell in recent weeks. If I would have sold off all my mutual funds and investments around March 23rd I would have lost big money. I think from March 23rd to the 27th my investments recovered losses of $4,000 or more. The time to sell was November 2019 to February 19th 2020. It is time to buy or ride out this market crash.
  3. I invested a little over $6,500 when the markets crashed significantly. Some of my mutual funds are still riding through the whole crash though. I expect big gains when the market recovers from the money I threw in when the market crashed.
  4. This is interesting information to read. I wonder if it is true. Thanks for posting this.
  5. I have also felt disappointment but I am not angry at Heavenly Father the past few years. My wife has not been well. She has little or no energy and she is in pain from a botched surgery that cannot be corrected by medical personnel. I pray for her healing daily but it has not come yet. I hope we find the cure for her body to heal and she does not have to wait until death or the resurrection to be delivered. Do not be angry at God. Pray for peace and joy in your life and guidance for what you need to do in your mortal journey.
  6. The trucks are going to keep coming so I am not worried about the lack of food from people panic buying but I am thinking about inflation. If stores keep getting rushed and bought up the price of food and toilet paper is going to increase and possibly have a great increase in cost. We are going to do our best to not purchase items that are going up a lot in cost. I am glad we have probably two months or more of food stored up. I can survive without toilet paper. Eggs and milk are apparently the new toilet paper panic buying item I think from what I have seen in the stores. Forty-five days to three months and this may be over. I believe this is a call from God to people. He wants them to turn back to Him but sadly most will not listen I believe.
  7. Prison Chaplain, I do not know if Hillsdale College has what you are looking for but I think they are worthy of at least a look at their website. I have listened to some of their lectures on the Constitution and liberty and like the instruction I was exposed to. https://www.hillsdale.edu/
  8. I'm glad there was an out cry about this incident at the college. It gives me hope that Americans still have some morals and sense of decency.
  9. The spirit of Socialism is: We are going to take. The participants take and take and take until there is nothing left which is why it always fails and it usually fails quickly. The vast majority of people are then left in terrible poverty. Too many people in America are so covetous and envious of the god of gold. If they would turn their hearts to the LORD they would see that He is the benevolent provider.
  10. I am sorry I brought this subject up. The details are too revolting for me to post in this forum. If you want me to private message you this information I might but I would just leave it alone though if I were you. "... and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing." -- Moroni 10:30
  11. The instance I read about was after hours at a college. It was a post class discussion and people there were told it would be highly graphic. The discussion did not affect grades. It is nothing but indecent pornography in my opinion and highly inappropriate at a college even if it does not affect grades.
  12. The actors actually have sex in front of the observing college students in the class. It's nearly as wicked as the people in Sodom in my opinion. I hope it is the minority of colleges. Edit: I would not suggest doing research on this subject. The information you will find on it will be something that will make you sick and you will want to forget it.
  13. It's gotten way worse in some colleges presently. Some courses have wicked sexual demonstrations in front of the class. I am concerned with my children going off to colleges in the next several years. It seems that many colleges want to push socialism and other wicked agendas into young people's minds. My wife went to a college course once that she dropped after the first class. The teacher wanted the students to go to a homosexual bar, a strip club and other places not appropriate for Saints. She did not want to do it and took the course from another instructor.
  14. Satan has a lot of control in Hollywood so many movies are going to have pornography and other material that is offensive to the LORD in them. I am pretty particular to what I watch. Movie ratings are not to be trusted in my opinion. I read other websites that give me reviews of movies and of what material is in a film and go from there with judgment on whether or not something is worth watching.
  15. This is one of my favorite scriptures: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. But if any man sin and repent, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous" -- I John 2:1 Inspired Version This is also one of my favorites talks: "Let me be direct and clear. The answers to the questions “Am I good enough?” and “Will I make it?” are “Yes! You are going to be good enough” and “Yes, you are going to make it as long as you keep repenting and do not rationalize or rebel.” The God of heaven is not a heartless referee looking for any excuse to throw us out of the game. He is our perfectly loving Father, who yearns more than anything else to have all of His children come back home and live with Him as families forever. He truly gave His Only Begotten Son that we might not perish but have everlasting life! Please believe, and please take hope and comfort from, this eternal truth. Our Heavenly Father intends for us to make it! That is His work and His glory. I love the way President Gordon B. Hinckley used to teach this principle. I heard him say on several occasions, “Brothers and sisters, all the Lord expects of us is to try, but you have to really try!” [Italics added] -- Elder J. Devn Cornish -- October 2016 General Conference https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2016/10/am-i-good-enough-will-i-make-it?lang=eng
  16. Passing the Cisco Certified Network Administrator leads to good employment. You may want to look for Junior Network Administrator work. Congratulations!
  17. I believe there have been over fifty of these incidents nationwide. People getting assaulted for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat or other clothing that states the person supports Donald Trump. But this man was not even wearing one of these hats. It it just a hat. If you do not like it then do not look at it.
  18. Hello all. I want to send a few electronic mails to missionaries serving that I know casually from my ward. What are the best resources to use to do this?
  19. Book of Mormon has been fairly easy for me to understand except the Isaiah chapters. I believe because it was translated by the gift and power of God is the reason for this.
  20. This was no joke either. I heard one woman complaining on the radio about the highly sexual dancing and the pole dancing at the Superbowl Halftime show. It is sad to me that there was so little complaining from the general population about the halftime show because I thought it highly immodest and inappropriate especially for minors and children. Likely so many people are just so numb with their constant pornography indulgences they just do not care anymore. This is probably also the reason I hear so much advertising for erectile dysfunction on the radio as well. Pornography is being consumed continually in too many homes.
  21. My daughter said she felt sorry for the San Francisco 49er team that lost as the players were sad. I said that I do not feel sorry for them. Those players make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and they are the number two team in the National Football League.
  22. Nate Madden -- January 29th 2020 Since Democrats took control of Virginia's state Legislature earlier this year, their efforts to clamp down on citizens' Second Amendment rights have made national headlines. However, Democrat-led efforts to undo protections for the unborn are also currently making their way to becoming law in the Old Dominion as well. The Associated Press reported that the Virginia House approved a bill Tuesday that would remove multiple abortion restrictions, including a 24-hour waiting period for abortion procedures and a requirement that women seeking abortions get an ultrasound beforehand. The measure would also end a requirement that only doctors can perform abortions in the state, thereby allowing nurse practitioners to perform them as well. It passed 52-45 with one Democratic legislator voting against it and two abstaining. Read more at: https://www.theblaze.com/news/virginia-democrats-advancing-their-abortion-agenda
  23. Dennis I would set up an appointment with missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They can teach you more about the restored Gospel of Christ. If you would like to contact them go to this link: https://www.comeuntochrist.org/requests/missionary-visit
  24. I believe I found a mistake in the Come Follow Me 2020 Manual. Read the below: 1 Nephi 9 Why did Nephi make two sets of plates? The Lord’s “wise purpose” in having Nephi create two records became clear centuries later. After Joseph Smith translated the first 116 manuscript pages of the Book of Mormon, he gave the pages to Martin Harris, who lost them (see Doctrine and Covenants 10:1–23). But Nephi’s second set of plates covered the same time period, and the Lord commanded Joseph Smith to translate these plates rather than retranslate what had been lost. ============================================= Read the below in I Nephi Chapter 9: 3 Nevertheless, I have received a commandment of the Lord that I should make these plates, for the special purpose that there should be an account engraven of the ministry of my people. 4 Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the kings, and the wars and contentions of my people; wherefore these plates are for the more part of the ministry; and the other plates are for the more part of the reign of the kings and the wars and contentions of my people. The purpose of Nephi creating the two sets of plates were for different record types. One set of plates was for the ministry and plain and precious truths. The other set was for a temporal record. The manual makes the mistake in assuming the 116 pages lost by Martin Harris were written by Nephi. It was the book of Lehi that was lost in the 116 pages.
  25. Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy ever made thus far in my opinion. I did not like in the Helm's Deep battle when Aragorn grabbed the ladder and pushed himself off into the Urukai army mass.
