This guy happens to be my favorite nonogenarian around, so I was excited to hear his talk. I know a mention of it was posted earlier, but I thought I'd put out the full text. Earlier he also gave a talk on Loyalty. I won't post it, but here is the link.

STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD- It is in the breaking news sidebar!

Thank you very much. I need reminding from time to time, too, that political differences don't justify hatred....

Does anybody have stats on what percentage of Mormons join the military (especially as compared with the population at large)? I am inclined to believe that it's much lower than the general population; but correct me if I am wrong.

NOTE: This is for serious and courteous discussion only. Please note that there is a small but determined group of people on this forum who will take every opportunity to insult and denigrate anything containing topics related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

They will be on this thread as well. Experience shows the only way that these threads can be of any use is if these people are completely ignored, no matter how provocative their replies. Please adhere to that policy.

The Admin Moderators will be asked to delete those replies that do not conform to the standards of the FR Religion Forum as determined by them. The afforementioned group will, if replies are deleted, also attempt to make the Moderators actions a topic on this thread.

Again, I ask that you not allow that, by ignoring any and all provocations by them.

Thank you.

Gordon B. Hinckley confirmed my belief that the Church is a center of hypocrisy when it advocates the support for War. It is clear he follows scripture writings instead of the teachings of the Lord. The Lord neither said he did not bring peace but the sword, but was written by Matthew, someone who was quite distraught to seeing his Savior freely go to the cross. As a matter of fact Jesus told them to put away their swords as he healed the soldiers ear they cut off before taking him away.

It is my belief (and have left the Church because others do not agree) that Religion represents nonviolence even in the face of persecution, for it is Jesus who followed that same course. He conquered hate by love, not by acting in violence toward his aggressor. He lives today. I say we who believe without works have no faith. Those who act in War have no faith. I stand to believe that War from Government has made Churches in America no better than the Islamic Jihad whom we claim to be antirelgious. Is not the Mormon Church the same! It is not a question but a revealed fact, as leaders and Church Presidents talk in riddles and support the framework of hypocrisy. Thanks I will not accept the model of War, let alone accept the tatoo medal of freedom from War inspired Presidents.

Please seek the Lord in his example, and you will see your error. The Lord is not hypocrisy!
