Tough Grits Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The July issue of the Ensign is dominated on the very cover by this cover story, "Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet". I was so excited when I opened the package and saw the cover! I tore right to the article (pg. 58) and started reading!!!! AWESOME!!!

JohnBirchSociety Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The July issue of the Ensign is dominated on the very cover by this cover story, "Sharing the Gospel Using the Internet".I was so excited when I opened the package and saw the cover! I tore right to the article (pg. 58) and started reading!!!!AWESOME!!!Don't want to burst your bubble, but it's ten plus years late in getting out...I've been online doing this since 1997. The fastest means of reaching the most people at any given time is through the Internet.I've been an LDS Apologist since 1983...on the Internet since 1997, and many people have changed their minds because of long hours of discussion with them...It is the most non-invasive avenue to reach people. I just hope the Church doesn't go "PR" in its' presence...internet followers are too savvy for the "rose-colored-glasses" approach, when the opposing (and vastly better prepared, many times) view is just a click away.We need complete openness on our history, and our doctrines, however uncomfortable we may be about them...

I think Juliann from MAD has been doing this since the first telegraph wires were strung across Southern California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough Grits Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 So what did it have to say? I was going to post snippets of it from the on-line Ensign...but it was not up on LDS.org the other day when I submitted this thread. I would check now, but my mind is mush...I had THREE tests today (Psychology, Astronomy, and Humanities) and I had to turn in FOUR assignments on-line for psychology. Just got done. It is 11:41 pm. I also found out today that my algebra teacher is going to be out of town part of next week, so to make up for the missing day she is asking the students to come in to class tomorrow if they can. Our campus does not have classes on Friday's. So, I need to get my tired little self to bed, wake up early enough to do the Math homework that I didn't have time to do tonight, and then be at class by 11 a.m.Luckily Michael does not work tomorrow. He will have the kids!!! LOL LOL:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenamarie Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Niether has ours. Infact, our June one only arrived a week and a half ago. For some reason ours has been really slow at getting to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skalenfehl Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 M. Russell Ballard's talk was great! I like the scriptures he referenced such as Proverbs 15:1. Prov. 15: 1 1 A SOFT answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.Thank you for sharing the pdf. I look forward to reading the magazine when it arrives!

kona0197 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm reading the April issue ATM. I wish I had a sub to the mag but as it is I am borrowing from the meeting house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I thought this portion was quite significant: As you participate in this conversation and utilize the tools of new media, remember who you are—Latter-day Saints. Remember, as the proverb states, that “a soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” ( Proverbs 15:1 )... There is no need to argue or contend with others regarding our beliefs. There is no need to becomedefensive or belligerent... We simply need to have a conversation, as friends in the same room would have...

Toady Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm reading the April issue ATM. I wish I had a sub to the mag but as it is I am borrowing from the meeting house.I haven't had an Ensign sub since they started putting it online. Reading online solves storage probs for me and is also a greener alternative, plus I'd already read it online anyway by the time our paper copies arrived- we're lucky if we get it here before the third week of the month.
