Uh... having a detached retina re-attached with Laser surgery?
It would have to be, for I had BOTH retinas detached in 3 places each, stuck back on with the older technology of FREEZING them!
Yes, I was awake and drugged but the scene was like something out of the film Marathon Man, if the 'doctor' had NOT used dental equipment!
My first kidney stone was incredible, but those retinas were, shall we say, unique!
“Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?”
Have you found the link to Obama yet?
WHAT!!??
You listen to others tell you about Fred?
Do your OWN research, Man!
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I bsaw two cPersonages, whose brightness and dglory defy all description, estanding above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My fBeloved gSon. Hear Him!18 My object in going to ainquire 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 awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: “they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the gpower 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 alying 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, bmother 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.”
I'm reminded of a scene from Analyze This
...but I'm conflicted about it.
I think you meant CHOICE!!!
I've done NO checking, but I read something... somewhere...
Acts 17:26
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
Have been receiving the newspaper now for a month to try to brush up on the language. Will be doing a lecture at one of the museums; don't know which one yet.
Come with us!
Hmmmm. I too have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true. that’s why I’m Catholic. Is this posting part of your missionary work? Careful you dont accidently convert someone.
Ans this part “they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”” ... wow, just wow ...

“In June, the General Assembly passed an action calling on Presbyterians to live a carbon-neutral life by reducing our use of fossil fuel energy and purchasing offsets to make up for the amount we still contribute to carbon emissions, the main cause of global warming.”
I wish! Christmas is a time for family and I have a very large one right here!
ABSOLUTELY!
A series of these prayer events would be the precursor to a national prayer breakfast led by Gov. Romney via satellite simulcast.
Be sure and invite President Bush to this breakfast.
I would like to organize a prayer Breakfast on behalf of Mitt and invite local leaders of faith, it should be ecumenical, and, if possible, include Hindus and Islamists, if they should be led by a prompting of their inner voice to come.
I see you include Hindus and Islamists..where are the Jews? The Community of Christ? The Bhuddists? The Unitarians?
Where are the rest of the presidential candidates in this ecumenical group? Are you inviting the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton?
And as amazing as this is, it is more amazing that our country is in such a fragmented and selfish place that such a man as Mitt is not readily embraced.
While I'm sure you believe your intent is pure, this post is amazingly star-struck IMO, to the point of zealotry. One would have to ask, "If Romney were President and put out a call to arms to all mormon priesthood holders to mass at the Capitol in Washington, would YOU question for a moment the intent of the command?"

The apologists would be ecstatic if ALL of us quit posting to them...that has been the goal for months.
[Rudy and Mitt gives us the best chance to beat Hiliary!]
Rudy McRomney all have a coterie of conservatives who WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM. Fred is the only one who does not split the Republican party ideologically. So I don’t understand how starting in the hole with your base is going to win the election.
(Grin) Riiiiiight ... one of your best drag and paste jobs exposing the foolishness of Mormonism and the demonic influences therein. When the Jews came to BYU to discuss geneologies, did your handlers expose this bit of foolery to them then? I'm sure that would have gone over very well. (chuckle, chuckle ... hey, don't get mad at me for grinning and chuckling, some of your idol(s) do it on FR posts!)
We are supposed to ignore this same trait of Mormonism when it applies to a man in consideration for POTUS? I don’t think so!
Because of your blindness of your mind there are and have been many leaders in the Church that are of the descendants of the house of Judah as well as Joseph which are all children of Abraham!
May I remind you also the first Christians were Jews.
You like to label it as Mormonism but you know this and yet lie that Mormon to the LDS is a prophet of God and the covneants and commandments the LDS keep are of Jesus Christ. Mormon was only one of many messingers of God.
