Self-Reliance Spiritual and Physical. PP. 48-65.

The ten virgins parable has been defined a spiritual in nature. Food storage is not the oil. Those who keep claiming it is are not understanding the parable and using it as some scape goat to not keep the true commandment of loving your neighbor like unto yourself

Regarding Pres. Benson's remarks. If the Lord chose at that time to create a famine of a years duration it could wipe out some members. How would it wipe them out? Would it kill them or just make them go inactive? Would they be too proud or embarrassed to seek help from those that prepared? Would they be asked to do hard things (work for the food) and refuse? Would they take the mark of the beast as an alternative to seeking help from another member? Would they go to a fema camp? You don't know and neither do I, but to say that it means that no one is allowed to share their blessings with them is a bit naive to me. God has always been a merciful God.

I know where kathyn lives!! HAHAha

Well, guess what. I know where ndjili lives. So there!

Anyway instead of teaching food storage he went into some crazy rant about mana. About "if you (wait wait we need inflection here so imagine an old evangelical pastor, with a bad tupee shakin his hands up at heaven and doing his best evagelical praisin' ok now we're ready) "If you take Jesus (need a slight southern accent on the Jesus part here) If you take Jesus as you personal Savior he will rain mana down from the sky in your time of need and then when the time is right you will be raptured into Heaven. can I get an Amen." Yeah so apparently most Christians think that they'll get mana and then get raptured. Um wouldnt it be easier just to rapture them? Ok I went off on a crazy rant but other Christians see it coming but their leaders are telling them not to prepare.

Don't even try to twist it to justify the Lack of being unprepared.

Moroni 7:45. Get it? Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, Godliness, charity, humility, diligence. Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Which qualities do you plan on forgetting when times get tough? Is it charity or brotherly kindness? Maybe it's Godliness? Certainly patience is out of the question. Faith too. Am I close?


If you don't plan on giving that's fine. More power to you. But I do and that should be fine too

IF I am going to live plural marriage someday, I would like you to still be HOT HOT HOT!

I know in Isaiah chapter 3:24 he mentions that the unrighteous daughters of Zion in the last days shall be bald, stinky and ugly.

I wonder if this will be because they fail to purchase the above mentioned items as part of there emergency preparedness items.

What do you think?

Attention: ALL HOT single sisters.

Pease purchase plenty of the above mentioned items.

That was great. I'm married so I dont have to worry about it, my hubs is stuck. sucka. Oh yeah wait I already got all that stuff.

P.S. Hum actually I hope girls will be ugly, then my hubs will think twice about plural marriage. He doesnt like the idea of it either though. He says one woman is enough aggrevation for him.

Amazing. What a selfish attitude.

Aren't we supposed to wish for the best for others?

And you wish for girls to be cursed with ugliness?

Repentance and a change of heart regarding what you wish for others would probably be a good thing for you.

Um in case you couldnt tell I was KIDDING (hence the laughing faces, people have been alittle cranky lately and well I thought we were having a light moment. my bad). And arent you just as selfish for wishing ALL the girls to be HOT HOT HOT!!
