John, I don’t know how I got you involved in this, I was not the one who evoked the BLOGLORD, the michigan thing did.

LOL.
As I have always done in the past, I support any decisions you make here, and will continue my support in every way this feeble old vet can.

Thanks - that clears things up.
yep.
Sorry, I didn’t write the Bible.
FWIW, I am not ‘holier than thou’, I know that I am (as Paul says) ‘the Chief of Sinners’, but I am also a sinner saved by grace who miraculously was delivered from a very destructive cult and am called to tell others my story.
In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.
1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.
I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

No worries, I ain’t even understanding that post.
I understand what you’re saying but as I said before, every byte of space on FR is now dedicated to conservatism and info and not commercialism. It’s clean and east to navigate. Keep in mind that we do have older posters that would find ads confusing. Right now FR is very user friendly.
Jim. Whatever it takes for you to do this and make a living. I will never begrudge you a penny of income and hope you do well enough to at least be comfortable (I am not asking for an answer on that, I just want you to know my thinking).
I know that I can only give a small amount per month now but I will increase it by half come February.
I think you know that FR has become the premier conservative web site in the Country, and possibly the world and most of us would do anything, legal that is, to ensure it remains viable and want you to have a decent life to boot.
Take care and God bless you and your family of hard working patriots.
Abortionists, homosexualists, wacko environmentalists, militant feminists, pacifists, gun-grabbers, globalists, statists, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, Marxists, traitors, cowards, RINOs, and other assorted and sundry leftist or political whores can all stay the hell off of FR!!

I’m sure that only discussing your faith with those who share it 100% is what God has commanded you to do.

Not even close. God has commanded me to share my faith with those who are lost, and those who are ignorant of the tricks and traps that cults use, tricks I once fell for.
I don’t hang around people who agree 100% with me religiously, the Flying inmans are made up of a broad group of Christians, Catholics, several protestant denoms, ex-mormons, never mormons, evangelicals. We don’t always agree on doctrine and we don’t have to.
But we DO all agree on the basic tenets of Christianity, the person work and nature of Jesus Christ, something the Mormons do NOT do.
Happy Birthday, by the way!
Oh yeah. And sitting in someone's living room. :-/
I love pics of babies in Daddy’s hands. It’s a statement on life. Or the way life should be.
Never heard of him.
Yes, its annoying when someone makes a post and then never returns. I’ve seen others, besides bloggers do this as well.
