I offended somebody in college when I referred to “The Squirrel of Great Price”. This is the same guy that one time I walked past his dorm room and complimented his excellent picture of Barry Gibb, that didn’t go over at all.

Years ago National Lampoon had a “Religious Sacrilege of the Year Award” contest.

The winner was, “Make instant coffee out of freeze-dried Mormons”.

Did you tell your college friend that the successor to Joseph Smith was widely known as “Bring ‘em Young”?

;^)

“Stroke of the pen; law of the land.”

Kinda cool!

It’s GOOD to be the; uh; mayor.

[Elsie]

The returned-missionaries like to puff out their chests and talk to you like you’ve never been anywhere or done anything if you’ve never been on a mission.

Well; who can resist THAT; after you've been taught by THIS man!?

$1000 fine, huh? It seems the governor has discovered a new fundraising source from the Chinese Flu.

[Elsie]

The Navy was required by law to provide me with one meal and one hour of sleep a day.

SLC is supposed to offer something like that to it's mishies; but headquarters somehow manages to trick the parents of the kids to support them on that long vacation.

And it's right there in their Scriptures; too!

The

Doctrine and Covenants

 Section 75

---

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Amherst, Ohio, 25 January 1832 (see History of the Church, 1:242–45). The occasion was that of a conference previously appointed. At this conference Joseph Smith was sustained and ordained President of the High Priesthood. Certain elders, who had encountered difficulty in bringing men to an understanding of their message, desired to learn more in detail as to their immediate duties. This revelation followed.

1–5, Faithful elders who preach the gospel will gain eternal life; 6–12, Pray to receive the Comforter, who teaches all things; 13–22, Elders will sit in judgment on those who reject their message; 23–36, Families of missionaries are to receive help from the Church.

1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I who speak even by the ^avoice of my Spirit, even ^bAlpha and Omega, your Lord and your God—

2 Hearken, O ye who have ^agiven your names to go forth to proclaim my gospel, and to ^bprune my vineyard.

3 Behold, I say unto you that it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be ^aidle but ^blabor with your might—

4 Lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, ^aproclaiming the ^btruth according to the revelations and commandments which I have given you.

5 And thus, if ye are faithful ye shall be laden with many ^asheaves, and ^bcrowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life.

6 Therefore, verily I say unto my servant ^aWilliam E. McLellin, I ^brevoke the commission which I gave unto him to go unto the eastern countries;

7 And I give unto him a new commission and a new commandment, in the which I, the Lord, ^achasten him for the ^bmurmurings of his heart;

8 And he sinned; nevertheless, I forgive him and say unto him again, Go ye into the south countries.

9 And let my servant Luke Johnson go with him, and proclaim the things which I have commanded them—

10 Calling on the name of the Lord for the ^aComforter, which shall teach them all things that are expedient for them—

11 ^aPraying always that they ^bfaint not; and inasmuch as they do this, I will be with them even unto the end.

12 Behold, this is the will of the Lord your God concerning you. Even so. Amen.

13 And again, verily thus saith the Lord, let my servant Orson Hyde and my servant Samuel H. Smith take their journey into the eastern countries, and proclaim the things which I have commanded them; and inasmuch as they are faithful, lo, I will be ^awith them even unto the end.

14 And again, verily I say unto my servant Lyman Johnson, and unto my servant Orson Pratt, they shall also take their journey into the eastern countries; and behold, and lo, I am with them also, even unto the end.

15 And again, I say unto my servant Asa Dodds, and unto my servant Calves Wilson, that they also shall take their journey unto the western countries, and proclaim my gospel, even as I have commanded them.

16 And he who is faithful shall overcome all things, and shall be ^alifted up at the last day.

17 And again, I say unto my servant Major N. Ashley, and my servant Burr Riggs, let them take their journey also into the south country.

18 Yea, let all those take their journey, as I have commanded them, going from ^ahouse to house, and from village to village, and from city to city.

19 And in whatsoever house ye enter, and they receive you, leave your blessing upon that house.

20 And in whatsoever house ye enter, and they receive you not, ye shall depart speedily from that house, and ^ashake off the dust of your feet as a testimony against them.

21 And you shall be filled with ^ajoy and gladness; and know this, that in the day of judgment you shall be ^bjudges of that house, and condemn them;

22 And it shall be more ^atolerable for the ^bheathen in the day of judgment, than for that house; therefore, ^cgird up your loins and be faithful, and ye shall overcome all things, and be ^dlifted up at the last day. Even so. Amen.

23 And again, thus saith the Lord unto you, O ye elders of my church, who have ^agiven your names that you might know his will concerning you—

24 Behold, I say unto you, that it is the ^aduty of the church to assist in ^bsupporting the families of those, and also to support the families of those who are called and must needs be sent unto the world to proclaim the gospel unto the world.

25 Wherefore, I, the Lord, give unto you this commandment, that ye obtain places for your ^afamilies, inasmuch as your brethren are willing to open their hearts.

26 And let all such as can obtain places for their families, and support of the church for them, not fail to go into the world, whether to the east or to the west, or to the north, or to the south.

27 Let them ^aask and they shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto them, and be made known from on high, even by the ^bComforter, whither they shall go.

28 And again, verily I say unto you, that every ^aman who is obliged to ^bprovide for his own ^cfamily, let him provide, and he shall in nowise lose his crown; and let him labor in the church.

29 Let every man be ^adiligent in all things. And the ^bidler shall not have place in the church, except he repent and mend his ways.

30 Wherefore, let my servant Simeon Carter and my servant Emer Harris be united in the ministry;

31 And also my servant Ezra Thayre and my servant ^aThomas B. Marsh;

32 Also my servant Hyrum Smith and my servant Reynolds Cahoon;

33 And also my servant Daniel Stanton and my servant Seymour Brunson;

34 And also my servant Sylvester Smith and my servant Gideon Carter;

35 And also my servant Ruggles Eames and my servant ^aStephen Burnett;

36 And also my servant Micah B. Welton and also my servant ^aEden Smith. Even so. Amen.

... a Mormon cop would have ticketed you for violating the Word of Wisdom,...

Well; it's not like he bought some ribs to cook on the Barbie in this warm weather!!

What's for dinner?

 

D&C 49:18-19  18 And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God; 19 For, behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance.

D&C 89:12-13  12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; 13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

 

 

 

It must be tough; being a Mormon.   Having to face Scripture that state two oppossing ideas and somehow managing to believe BOTH of them!  It's no WONDER that Utah leads in Prozac usage!

 

 

 

[Vigilanteman]

Umm, Mormon voters are the main reason it is conservative. Mitt Romney fooled them as well.

Did you tell your college friend that the successor to Joseph Smith was widely known as “Bring ‘em Young”?

THIS guy??

They changed the liquor laws in Utah. Selling real beer now. The profit had another revelation. I have to be here in SLC five days a week as I undergo the radiation. Five hours of tumor removal last month but all is well!

[elcid1970]

“Stroke of the pen; law of the land. Kinda cool!”

That was Paul “Forehead” Begala gloating over Bill Clinton’s ruling the nation by executive order early in 1993.

[arthurus]

That is certainly the effect, though.

[Elsie]

Praise the Lord!

And doctors; too!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Oh yeah. That or Breed ‘em Young.

[glock rocks]

Wow. Didn’t know. Prayers for you, brother.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

They’ve definitely cornered the market on arrogance. I’ve told a few of them, “With a head that big you should be a Naval Academy grad.” They were baffled by that. I’ve also told a few, “Why so upset, is it because daddy wasn’t rich enough or didn’t have the church position to get you into BYU?”

Seriously, with their army of missionaries all over the world, I thought they were about getting people into the church. At the other state U that I attended, they treated the non-mormons so badly that the join-rate was about zero. I went in thinking, “I’m not at all into their church but we can coexist, it’s all good.”

Nope, you’re “one of THEM” and you are crap in that town. I didn’t transfer to another school because that would be letting them win. USU has a damn good engineering program even if the moes there are turds to deal with. You learn pretty quick which moe instructors to avoid. My engineering programs started with 400-ish students, Mech. Engineering 101 was held in an auditorium. By the time I got to graduation, there was 40 of us. I admit I took pleasure in seeing moes fail out. I had to be hard-headed SOB to get through the Navy nuclear power pipeline, I wasn’t about to let these bastards run me off. Prof. Millet thinks he’s hard, he only deals with scared kids who are taught their whole life to OBEY. I’m glad that I stayed and beat them at their own game. When the U calls me up these days asking for money, I just laugh and laugh.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Wow! Hang in there!

[Utah Binger]

Thanks I’m in good hands in both cases. The Huntsman Institute is very thorough. Problem is going in there every day not knowing what might be in the air. And dear wife is here keeping tabs on me so I can’t sneak down to the liquor store where they control entry with wipes etc. Not that I would, LOL.

[glock rocks]

My wife and mother were treated at Huntsman. Jon senior came into the chemo room and sat down and talked to my wife and I for a half hour. The chemo room is an indoor amphitheater sitting at the base of the mountain to the east of the U of U. He designed it for his wife. Amazing man, RIP.
