He looks pretty neat.
Right now, at the end of summer, he looks pretty DIRTY!!
(And goats HATE to get wet!)
I grew up on a big ranch and we had all sorts of critters.
We had a big old billy goat that we’d try to ride when we were little. He smelled to high heaven.
I've also seen it stated somewhere that you yourself don't know how to operate a glue gun. Does someone else stating something make it true?
This is Stourme btw. I haven't been on FR in a number of years.
Why did you come back and start posting under another account? It's not like you lost the other one.
Does that mean it's true that you don't know how to operate a glue gun?
Killing the body is but one form of death...
Ah you are a retread...
'Tis good to have ya back...
ALWAYS glad to "host" Mormons on this thread.
As for your personal queries, they didn't happen to come from a Baptist-Apostate-turned-Mormon who's overly fascinated with these Lds threads & postings on FR, do they? (LOL :) )
[I seem to recall the apostate-in-question also surmised at one point that I was a former Mormon; a former Mormon missionary...of which I've never been -- either ... as I've said multiple times on FR...I am a descendant of Mormons...but never was one]
As for supporting any pro-abortion politicians, I've NEVER been pro-abortion or willingly given to pro-abortion causes [I say "willingly" because the govt has in a variety of ways found all kinds of ways to give our taxpayer $ to pro-abortion causes and hence ALL of us in the U.S. have been both gullible and culpable on that]...I've been an active pro-lifer for a lengthy period...and have long criticized Romney's pro-abortion record in detail seen nowhere else...You should know that Stourme...
So, hey, certain non-Freeper ex-Baptist-turned-Mormon sources have a pattern of lying/inventing fabrications -- and not repenting of such lies and/or mythical mistakes. But, hey, I forgive your untrustworthy source. Anybody who endorses myths like the Book of Mormon is vulnerable to be a "quick-draw McGraw" on embracing other fairy tales, too.
It'd be admittedly helpful if...
(a) Your source openly repented for his own mistatements re: counterfeiting my identity...This would be a "good thing" in order to keep his spiritual conscience clean before God on this matter...I have sinned toward others, too -- more than I care to mention -- so who would I be before the Lord to claim any less need of forgiveness than your source?
and (b) ...you, too, prayerfully pondered also repenting...as false gossip has never been endorsed, sanctioned, or commended by our Lord. [And, Stourme, I forgive you, too]
And to put the best construction on this, I do thank you for this opportunity that allows me to set the record straight.
Thanks again for "resurrecting" yourself on FR! And a Biblical precedent exists along these lines IF you make it to heaven, Stourme. I've heard Biblical rumblings that such recipients of God's unqualified grace will be given new names by Him!
Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it. (Revelation 2:17)
(No, I have NEVER given $ to Barbara Boxer or ANY Democratic candidate...No, I have NEVER even voted for a Democratic candidate...The question is more why you believe such utter nonsense from a highly questionable source who makes up stories wholesale...and why your supposedly “holy” Mormonesque ethics allows you ... by innuendo & outright falsehoods to continue to engage in disseminating false gossip ...please repent (a) for your own spiritual benefit; and (b) to lower the flow of constant prevarication by the Mormon Klan, which, btw, isn’t good PR — or good apologetics)
But there's a foundation there for such phrasing. It's not developed out of thin air. And, at least I can cite Mormon leaders who've established that foundation...unlike your innuendos & false gossip derived from lies.
Just yesterday I finished reading the second half of a Deseret Book. Co published book (1972; original 1950)...As you know, Deseret Book Co. is owned by the Mormon Church...'Twas a book by Lynn A. McKinlay based upon a series of four lectures delivered to The Young People's Temple Group of the South Davis Stake (Bountiful, Utah). In his lecture to the Bountiful Second Ward Chapel (8/12/49), he stated:
"The distinct physical characteristics of the Negro race, the Yellow race, and various nationality demarkations, [sic] no doubt did not exist in the pre-mortal spirit life, because we were all children of one Father and a Mother in heaven." (p. 174)
Let's unpack this quote, shall we?
The implication of such a statement is that the fair, delightsome & white unnamed entities who allegedly appeared to Joseph Smith in the "first vision" gave birth in "the pre-existence" to spirits who, altho having no mortal bodies, whatever "spirit body" traits existed, these traits certainly weren't "negro" or "the yellow race" [whoever that is].
See, McKinlay says, in effect, we "pre-existent ones" were all children of one Kolobian Klan -- one Father and a Mother. There couldn't possibly be heavenly traits of what we see in these other races, could there? (Implies this Mormon leader)
(1) Where does your precious Mormon church get off publishing this kind of tripe crap?
(2) Why is it when I consistently read Lds authors who want to talk about unrevealed aspects of the Mormon "pre-existence," they try to justify such wild speculation with words like "no doubt"? (as McKinlay & other Lds authors do) It's so highly unusual for a church claiming to be guided by "direct revelation" to have its authors speculating "no doubts" about the pre-existence!
Finally got it, am reading it now, enjoying it very much.
Thanks
