JediMatt1000 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hello and Greetings Everyone, My name is Matt, and I have a special request that I was wondering if you could help me with. I just got my Book of Mormon, and it is a very interesting read. My request is that I have a special ring, and I was wondering if someone could bless it for me? It would mean a lot to me if someone could bless it. I would really like to hear from you, my e-mail address is [email protected] I really hope to hear from you soon. Please take care and be well! God Bless!Sincerely and Respectfully,-Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxz72 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hello Matt! I'm so glad that you're finding the Book of Mormon to be an interesting read. I hope the Spirit touches you so that you can recognize the truths it contains. So far as your ring goes...that's not something that we normally do as a Church. Is there a reason why it needs to be blessed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless!Sincerely and Respectfully,-MattHi Matt,Bless your ring? No problem....is it gold? Solid gold? Does it have diamonds in it? Large diamonds? If so then send it to me right away....I'll bless the crud out of it!Just kidding...those who hold the Priesthood of God do not bless objects such as rings etc. unless it is for a very rare and specific purpose from the Lord Himself. (ie: an apostle blessing a scarf to heal the sick in a far off place) We can ask for a blessing from Father for our homes, for a gravesite, for the Sacrament, for the food we eat etc. or as Priesthood holders we can bless others through the laying on of hands. That's pretty much it....so, unless your "special ring" holds a purpose from God to be blessed....it won't be! Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know of LDS who ask Father for a safe trip in a car or ask that the car not break down and even ask for Fathers blessing on the group taking the trip...stuff like that....but actually blessing a car I've never heard of.

Annabelli Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 What kind of car was it? Was it a restored el grande show room classic with a worth of many thousands of dollars? OR was it the family transportation and in need of a lot of mechanic work and driving it was unreliable? Maybe it was a brand new car with a large monthly installment payment. Was the car's name "ole Betsy?" I would ask for a blessing to find an honest mechanic or to find an affordable new vehicle to buy. If the ring received a blessing and you did not, chances are your ring might survive a car crash but how about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanstress70 Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I remember reading about at least one person who got someone to bless her car bc it was on the fritz and she wasn't able to get it fixed. It was a long time ago on this board... I'll try to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless!Sincerely and Respectfully,-MattFirst thing I thought was a plan to getting a foot in the door by appealing to "what a great book the BOM is" and making a quick request after that. Then he dropped his/her/whatever e-mail when this is the first post. He might be legit but I'm still dubious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john doe Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Let me be the first to congratulate Dr. T on getting his new edition of 'troll-dar'. Just a note, Doc, it takes a little tweaking to get the settings right. While the OP is definitely a blip on the radar screen, and may in fact be a troll, he may also be serious in his request. All in all, though, he is still on the screens of those who are paying attention, and your quick pickup and call out of the possibility are commendable. Good job on your first call, Dr. T!!!! To the OP: if, by chance, you ARE serious in your request, please tell us why you think we would be the ones to ask to bless your ring? Did you think we would all pray for it over the internet? Did the guys (or gals) who gave you the BoM tell you that we LDS commonly just go around blessing inanimate objects for strangers? What was your basis for asking this?

Now SSB, we should encourage recycling instead. Seriously though Matt, if you're a real person, if you find Dianetics useful thats fine but stay away from the CofS.
