DisRuptive1 Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 Oh man, you think Bush is trying to get the LDS vote? Maybe he'll give the pope the same thing too. AFTER READING IT: Guess he's looking for the Catholic vote also. Although I could be looking in to this too much seeing as this is an election year and all.

punaboy Posted June 20, 2004 Report Share Posted June 20, 2004 I'm sure there will be many "rewards" for endorsing the Iraq invasion from the pulpit. I hope they are worth the indelible stains... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I think it's interesting how the public affairs people refer to the Pope as "Holy Father" and "His Holiness". I wonder what we'd have to do to get them to refer to President Hinkley with a similar amount of respect? Ya think maybe we should start a petition? Ya, me neither. But I do think he deserves it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john doe Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I would be uncomfortable referring to Pres. Hinckley (or any other prophet of God for that matter) as "holy father" or "his holiness". The title suggests some sort of demi-god status, something which the prophets don't claim to have. I'd just settle for having the world refer to him as "prophet, seer, and revelator".

Setheus Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Originally posted by Maureen@Jun 22 2004, 03:24 PM Why do you think that it would bother antis[/b... Because anyone who is "Anti" anything get upset when the thing they despise is recognized as a great thing. And the Prophet represents all that is rightious and THAT alone will stir up the enemy to harden the hearts of men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch as all those years of sex education (including identifying gender) escapes right through punaboy's memory. Or did you not receive sex education growing up - or possibly prefer the male persuasion to have very feminine names. Even on the internet, I can't imagine a guy calling himself Faerie, especially a pregnant guy.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr2 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Why do you think that it would bother antis? President Bush isn't pronouncing him Prophet of the World, just recognizing his good efforts and hard work.I'm wondering why some of these people are receiving this medal at all. My question is where are the following people:Rudy Giuliani - for his actions on 9/11Mother Teresa -posthumously - for her life's serviceFr Michael Judge -posthumously - died while administering the last rights to a firefighter during the collapse of the first WTC tower on 9/11, and the first official casualty of the 9/11 terror attacksEach of these people is more deserving that each person on that list. That medal is one motivated by politics, not service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well,Becasuse when I mentioned once that President Hinckley was one of the most respected religious leaders in the country one not-so-bright antiMormon vulgarian posted that President Hinckley was a fool and a fraud or some worthless drivel to that effect.That same gender confused virago went on to proclaim that you could tell a "true" prophet by the quality of their character and carraige.... such as Benny Hinn.That's why.
