  2. Now that he is saved, he will want to stay and bring many of his friends and acquaintances to the REAL Jesus. Hallujah!
  3. 1 Third term http://newsexaminer.net/politics/obama-announces-plans-for-a-third-term-presidential-run/ 2. His actions in importing millions of compliant voters and enabling them to vote even before getting citizenship (the motor voter law) bespeaks his intention for a thousand year reign for the Dems. http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/10/12/gov-jerry-brown-signs-bill-allowing-illegal-aliens-vote/ https://www.google.com/search?q=illegal+voting+by+illegal+immigrants&oq=illegal+voting+illegal+imm&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0.17782j1j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8
  4. You are taking this topic very personally, aren't you.
  5. Now you wanted evidence. Perhaps this will help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_the_mainstream_scientific_assessment_of_global_warming Please read the articles in the footnotes.
  6. Let me say again, I have a very dry sense of humor. But I would observe that while Hitler and Obama had very different strategies, the goal is basically very similar. Both want to marginalize and destroy their enemies, Hitler wanted to rule over the world, while Obama is satisfied with ruling over just one country. He was very serious about that "third term". The thousand year reich is quite a realistic goal for him as his ultimate legacy. For example, "climate change" is not about the weather, but all about power and control.
  7. Obama himself recognized that he still had unfinished business. He was pondering whether he could somehow have a third term. If we were ever to hold a Constutional convention, he may actually get his wish.
  8. CRITIC I actually feel sorry for this guy. He is so deluded to believe that Joseph Smith as a prophet. RESPONSE Yeah. Look at Paul -- he threw Christians into prison, actively approved of the stoning of a Christian leader. He then claimed to see an "angel of light" on the road to Damascus that nobody else saw. He provoked riots in the streets, was convicted several times as a scam artist and thrown into prison. Peter specifically warned about his writings, James refuted his "faith only" doctrine, And Christians today accept him as a prophet. As you would say, they are so deluded.
  9. CRITIC Your afraid to knock on the door to truth or you wouldn't be here looking at these video's of the truth about the Mormon cult. I bet I have re ad the BOM more time than you. RESPONSE I've read it over 45 times -- I have just started to read it again, in 1 Nephi chapter 8. I have read the New Testament over ten times, including twice in Greek, and the OT four times. I have "knocked", and, like Peter (Matt 16:16-17), have received a sure knowledge from the Father that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and that the Lord called Joseph Smith as a prophet. I have been reading and responding to the antiMormons for the past 30 years, even before the internet. I have over 15,000 posts responding to these issues, including corresponding with the major professional antiMormons. I had personal correspondence with the Smithsonian Institute on their letter on the Book of Mormon, and they changed this letter based on our discussion. It is the antiMormons who feel uncomfortable when I point out their flawed logic, and false and distorted assertions. Been there, done that, burned the T shirt.
  10. On youtube, you might want to subscribe to the "Mormon Channel". Excellent videos there. Some of the best videos that fit your needs: https://youtu.be/9MiF_HKoFr4?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A https://youtu.be/9VTMWVpzx4M?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A https://youtu.be/StVwi5Sp2Is?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A https://youtu.be/-x_-TQivCx8?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A https://youtu.be/zDEXQ-GTYTs?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A (see all three videos in this series) https://youtu.be/2w49_1a9X0Q?list=FLOGthnff2vitBgcB66Ngm1A You might also want to subscribe to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir channel as well.
  11. Well, some may argue that it was actually Samuel Huntington, on March 1, 1789. But why quibble because we know that Nephi actually existed.
  12. It's at the top of things I think about, along with the question of whether there was death before Adam. I already have "repentance" pretty much nailed down -- whether there are four steps or five.
  13. Academics shredding the Constitution see the video http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2015/11/academic-liberals-say-shred-the-constitution.php
  14. Note that Orson Hyde said " If the Constitution be saved at all...." It is my opinion that this prophecy was fulfilled when Romney ran for President of the United States, and Harry Reid, a priesthood holder, made accusations against him. By his own admission these accusations were untruthful, and he reveled in the fact that Romney lost the election. The Destroyer of the Constitution, with Reid's support and assistance, was then elected as President.
  15. See this article from FairMormon
  16. Have you thought about why they are crying? For many this is not just an emotional outburst. ====Let me give you an example. I was recently driving to the temple. I was on a side street and suddenly the axel broke and the car immediately stopped. The wheel of the car was jammed up against the bumper, and was frozen in place. The car could not move at all. But everything was fine, except in about 15 minutes I would have been on the interstate driving 60 MPH. If this had happened just a little later, I would not be here talking with you. The car certainly would have flipped over in a serious accident. =====My teenage daughter had been invited by a couple of guys that she knew from school to drive down to the lake that evening. She like to run around, but this time she turned them down. Later she found out that they had invited another girl, then murdered her and burned the body. ======My oldest daughter and her husband and family went to a wedding a few miles away from their home. This wedding had been postponed several times and finally the day came. One hour after the family left, a tornado struck her neighborhood, it missed all the houses in that neighborhood except hers. It was totally destroyed down to the foundation. If they had been in that house, there is no question that they would have been seriously hurt or killed. ======My son was working on a construction site in Alabama. The electrician on the job got a phone call from his wife to leave because there were reports of a tornado. The rest of the crew wanted to keep working, but they couldn't do anything with their only electrician gone, so they also left. A short time later a tornado hit the very same area where they were working, and there were several casualties. He told me that he could see alot of dead bodies when he visited it later. There is no doubt in my mind that the Lord has protected me and my family. When I pray to Him, am I just "being emotional" if I cry in gratitude for what He has done.
  17. A few weeks before General Conference -- A friend of my mailman's niece got a mission call, but the letter did not say where he was going. It simply said to listen to General Conference and he will find out. (Hinting that it will be China). PS He's been waiting for several years now.
  18. The Thanksgiving invitation letter from Marney. This is the real thing http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/11/26/awkward-family-story-the-thanksgiving-letter/ Years later she was interviewed https://youtu.be/dkFI4VLjo40
  19. del
  20. Steve Martin is indeed a Mormon, but he is not THE Steve Martin. Please share with us your source.
  21. RULE #3 When responding to cdowis posts. Please wait at least ten minutes before responding, because it takes me that long to do the final revision. In case you didn't notice, I completely replaced the post that you quoted. Sometimes I embarrass myself, and it takes that long to recover my dignity.
  22. I have been thinking about opening a new thread on this, based on some research I've done. I have never seen this discussed anywhere. Nevermind..... it's something that could easily be misunderstood. I happened to be talking about it in the temple with a worker, and he literally had a brain meltdown. He started babbling incoherently (seriously), so I'll just keep quiet. Sorry for bringing it up.
  23. And what do you think about eating alot of meat during the summer. Would the GP class help with that?
  24. DAN VOGEL You want to dismiss his use of the same stone for treasure seeing and translating as unimportant. Maybe you should think about it more seriously than you have. That's why I'm here. He wasn't just a treasure seeker; he was a treasure seer. His activities as such were fraudulent. The entire Book of Mormon was dictated in the same manner that he pretended to find treasure. What one decides about JS's activities as a treasure seer will determine what probably happened in the translation. RESPONSE You have revealed what this is all about. This is not the objective, dispassionate scholar, but the professional antiMormon. You declare that you are here to discredit the Mormon religion. Now that we have that admission, let';s take a look at your logic. Basically you are using the old argument of the unbeliever, "If I were god, this how I would do things" God took a man who was a murderer, hid the body, and ran away from justice -- Moses. God took a man who persecuted the Christians, stood by holding the coats of those who killed one of the Christian leaders -- Paul. Now YOU would not have done that. And now, with you godlike complex, YOU tell us that this foolish farm boy would never be chosen to do a divine work, because YOU would not have chosen him. You are unmasked. Your agenda of destroying the LDS church exposed. You pretense of the objective scholar shattered ==>> You argue with God that He does not do things the way YOU think He should do it.
