pam Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 So when someone replies it goes to everybody in the thread? I'm confused with your question. If you are talking about getting an email then no it's doesn't go to everyone unless they subscribe to it. But I certainly can see every response on this thread. That's what I'm going off of when I say terrakota responded to Lovely in this thread. Quote

So Pam this should come to only you. Quote
pam Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 No everyone that reads this thread can see it. Quote
pam Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 All you are doing is quoting the remark you are responding to. Not responding just to that person. Quote
Vort Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Now if I'm doing this right by using the reply tab within the members window it should go that member right? So Pam this should come to only you.This is a public discussion list. All replies and comments are public. To do otherwise would defeat the purpose of the list. It is possible to send people notes, though I believe even those are publicly visible on the person's account page. Quote
Kenny Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Yes I understand that part but sometimes I get replies to questions I never even asked or people giving me advice or replies questions other people have made but now that I understand how it works I'll just ignor those that don't apply to me.

MobyMule Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Keith, I literally laughed out loud reading your reponse! Isn't it wonderful that we have those memories? Young folks do think its crazy, but I tell you, the older generation is very wise in things and they were extremely faithful to the Lord. I am very grateful for my grandmother. Thank you, Keith!I agree 100% with that. Quote
Guest Lovely12 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) · Hidden Hidden Lovely,I wanted to share a couple of thoughts, too.1) If you look in the Bible, then you would see that the only chosen people are Jews, they are called "special" and "above all". Does that mean that the rest of us are lost or inferior? No, not at all. We are told that through them "all of the nations of the Earth" will be blessed. That includes everybody. If we are not of literal Jewish descent, then we are adopted into one of the tribes (you know which one from your patriarchal blessing) and then you share in all the blessings.2) God placed you and your family on Earth at this specific time, because it was right for you. Whatever the reason was for the ban on priesthood, you and your husband did not have to deal with it personally. No blessing was ever denied to you or your husband, because God didn't see it right for you. He deals with each of us personally. For me it's poligamy, I have a very hard time with it, but I wasn't born when it was around. We would go crazy if we start worrying about all the things that happen to other people, and about all the things that happened in the past. It's better to think about your personal relationships with God. Has He ever mistreated you because of your skin color, has he denied you any blessings because of that?3) In Jacob 3:8 Jacob warns Nephites that unless they repent, Lamanites skins will be whiter when they are brought before the throne of God.4) It is probably true that your skin is dark because you are a descentant of the one who was cursed and whose skin was made black. But that doesn't make you any worse. (And, by the way, I'm not sure that the curse was the black skin. I think the curse was that the land wouldn't bring forth fruit, and the sin color was just to separate them.) You were adopted into the House of Israel through one of the tribes, and this means that you share in all the blessings of the gospel. 5) You were told that you were a valiant soul in pre-existence. This was a word of God to you personally. And that means that satan hates you, more than some others who didn't give him as much trouble as you did. And that's why he works on taking away your eternal blessings through one thing or another. 6) I wouldn't worry too much about was was said by Church leaders in the past. And not even by Church leaders alone. When I read Old Testament there are a lot of things that shock me. It's good to study them, but we shouldn't take everything personally. Have you heard anything from Pr. Hinckley or Pr. Monson that made you feel bad? Probably not. This is what God speaks now to His Church. We wouldn't expect God to say same the same things century after century. People and times change. Again, it is not by a mistake that you live now, and not then.So, don't worry about that. You are beautiful (love your picture!), God loves you, and all the blessings are yours.Thank you for your post. Just so you know, I am doing much better since my original post. The issues that were most disturbing to me were answered. I still have some trouble with things that are NOT race related, but I believe God will answer these things in due time. For now I am happy that I no longer "fight" with myself to stay in the church.My huband and children are still having a rough time, so my family and I are taking it "one step at a time" for now. We attend sacrament meetings and will attend our gospel classes as often as we can.I also want to say that I know without a doubt that my beautiful skin color that Heavenly Father blessed me with is NOT a curse. I also know that the mark of Cain was NOT black skin. I have prayed on it, studied the scriptures and I am at COMPLETE PEACE over it.I will continue to seek knowlege and draw nearer to my father in heaven. I will continue to pray on things that trouble me and my beautiful family. Thank you so much for your loving concern.By the way, I agree with you 100% that satan works hard to destroy me. But, I will not give him the pleasure! Edited June 18, 2009 by Lovely12

For example, I am quoting your previous post, therefore I'm replying to you. :)M. Quote

prisonchaplain Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 BTW, whatever the "mark of Cain," was, it was a blessing, not a curse. God put a mark of protection on Cain, warning others not to seek out vigilante justice. Further, the descendents of Cain became skilled artisans and metalworkers--hardly an outcome of being cursed.Personally, I think the mark of Cain is a tendency to start conversations with the word "Yah," addressing the weather, and ending with "yah know?" For example, Yah, it sure is warm today, yah know? Just imho, of course! Quote
Guest Lovely12 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Thank you, Pam, for the huge compliment! I don't think I am "awesome" as you put it, but I guess I am okay. Quote
pam Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Okay now don't argue with me. I know I'm right. hahahaha But I think you are. Quote

But other emails clearly for someone else in the thread are, hence the confusion. What replies are sent via email and what are not? Quote
