(It) seems by such remarks (that)
help is really needed when one echos such bitterness

... well, awkward to be sure, but I think it does parse.

The clause “help is really needed when one echos such bitterness” is grammatical, and I don’t see anything preventing it from being the dependent clause of “seems”. The awkwardness is in the semantics.

Evidently it means, “The bitterness of your remarks indicates to me that you need help”.

Evidently it means, “The bitterness of your remarks indicates to me that you need help”.

Thanks for the clarification.

FWIW, I think that if resty would just lay off the booze, then maybe she wouldn't need your help.

Why would Jesus pray to Himself?

The LDS pro-trinitarian-word that serves as a replacement for trinity in order to come across as "anti-trinitarian" is "godhead." So, why would Godhead pray to Godhead, Himself?

Do not let this thread become "about" individual Freepers. That is a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I have no problem with our canon of scripture.

So!

You've finally decided to read and study the JST?

Oh! WAIT!!

That is not SCRIPTURE - is it!

Then maybe YOU can tell us just WHT SLC Headquarters has FAILED to include the LAST 'translation' that Joseph Smith did - at the URGING from GOD Himself - into THEIR 'canon' of 'scripture'.?

Go COLTS!!!

[Elsie]

I have no problems with the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

O... K...

 

But how are you with some of the things that it's LEADERS have SAID??

Speaking of BITTERNESS...

Was Joseph Smith BITTER when he penned THESE words:

 http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1/17#17

  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,

“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”

 

Do you agree with the LACK OF evidence against PRESBYTERIANism as it is presented here?

must be too much booze ....

 

You KNOW you are NOT supposed to sip the BATH WATER!!

 D&C 89:7 And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

I misread the TITLE...

AGAIN!

OOPS!!

I got here just a few minutes ago and have used the word "you" in some of my posts.

Please feel free to replace it with "ANY MORMON" where I have erred.

[Elsie]

But; speaking of COLTS: does ANYONE want a really good team?

Due to inept city - county - and state goverments; our brand spanking new STADIUM has turned out to be TOO EXPENSIVE to operate!

Well, just not it; but when one considers ALL the other things that the TAXPAYER has been saddled with in Indy the last decade or so - a new PACERs playhouse - City Center - loss of businesses fleeing to the suburbs to get away from the THEIVES with their PENS!

Now the ‘leaders’ and ‘shakers’ are trying to get the PRO sports folks to actually pay for USING these fine facilities!

What a concept!

***Well, we recognize four: The Book of Mormon, The Doctrines & Covenants, The New Testament as far as it is translated correctly and The Old Testament as far as it is translated correctly. That’s where our scripture is now.***

This is a lie.
