Correcting Past Posts

[SpeedRacer]

I was looking at some older posts, of mine and some other members on this forum and have a question.

If a member of this forum has made a post in the past that is now contradictary with what they have come to learn, is there an obligation to correct the previous post?

I found some posts that were quite adamant, with scripture references etc. to the effect of establishing the truth from a certain point of view even professing their testimony of such principle. As futher light was gained, and an upgraded truth was established, there became an incongruency between the current and the former.

What say ye?

1. Don't pretend to knowledge you do not have.

2. Don't palm your opinions off on the Lord.

Jules volunteers to fix my old posts...she needs help doing so. And because I insist they are all completely correct, I will not be helping her.

Since posting this, Jules has notified me that the effort would be to much to handle. She is not going to undertake the burden.

I think you were on the list of those to whom I refer...

I cited sources which on investigation proved a bit more complicated, and presented my findings in separate posts.

So I'm not sure what you mean to say; can you please clarify your intended meaning?

All of my previous posts have been made lacking the proper inspiration. That should just about cover it.

I am not familiar with the post you are referring to, but there was a post on the HG that you did a double take on after reading lecture 5.

But I have to tell you, I do appreciate the majority of what you put up here log. Happy that you put in so much time on things of gravity then come and share.

It was many months later that I heard the instruction about keeping a journal. By that time I had no way of knowing the date of the visit, and therefore assumed it reckoned from the year I was baptized in 1973. I wrote it down.

I lost track of time as the years came and went. I'd finished serving in the military, had graduated from law school, and had a family. When I remembered and reconstructed the events, I renewed my anticipation early in 1982, waiting for March 1st. That day came and went and nothing happened.

I concluded I hadn't prepared for the ministry, and therefore lost the opportunity. I felt rejected and mourned at my failure. I tried to renew my devotion, and wondered what would have been given if I'd met the standard I was supposed to meet. But then again, I also thought that if the Lord had been more clear, perhaps I could have met the standard. I wanted to blame the Lord for my failure. He hadn't answered the questions about what it was I needed to do. At a minimum, I wanted the Lord to share in the blame for my failure. I also wanted to conceal it. I went to my journal and took out the pages dealing with this and destroyed them. This is why the journal now begins on page 14. But with the passage of time, I let it go and gave it no further thought. There was so much to do in life with family responsibilities that unpleasant thoughts of personal failure can be abandoned if you want.

On March 1st of the following year I was visited by President Tolman (the Sunday School President and at the time a Seminary Teacher in the Pleasant Grove High School Seminary program) and Bishop Harris. They called me to be the Gospel Doctrine teacher. It was not until after they left that I remembered the significance of "the first day of the third month" and rehearsed it all again in my mind. I realized that the visit must have happened in 1974 and not 1973. I had the chronology wrong.

It was many years later that I remembered destroying those pages from my journal. I had to explain all these errors in a re-creation of the events. From this I have learned to leave all the failures, all the mistakes, and any hard lessons which I have had to endure and suffer complete and recorded. There can be no attempt to shield myself from criticism in these journals. The truth of matters should be left, and my pride should be abandoned. No man elevates himself by pretensions to being more than they are.

I say, thank God that over 3000 of my old posts were accidentally deleted (long unnecessary back story there)!! =))

Sounds like you also have the gift of intention, and really didn't want those posts to exist anymore

[TZONE]

yea, i have read some of my past posts, they were awful! , can only imagine how bad they are now... but for now they are true. in the past they mostly were not, and the future, that will be seen.

[FoxMammaWisdom]

I had old posts where I PASSIONATELY fought against things, that NOW - I utterly embrace and testify of :ymblushing: . I guess we are all learning and progressing.

[AshleyB]

Yeah, Im pretty sure I have plenty of old posts to be embarrassed of. Maybe tomorrow I'll be embarrassed of the ones I made today. Eh... such is life for me. LOL :))

Let's listen to the words of a man who seemed to err just a little more than we all ;)

"I count not myselfe to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things whih are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before"

So, forget your Saul and become Paul ..
