Al Gore meeting with First Presidency today

[Col. Flagg]

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7052 ... cials.html

Former Vice President Al Gore will meet with LDS Church leaders in Salt Lake City late Thursday afternoon, but apparently will not make any public appearance while in Utah.

A Washington, D.C., public relations firm referred press inquiries about the meeting to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Gore, now an environmental activist who shared the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming, is believed to have requested the meeting with the LDS Church's First Presidency. It is not known what he wants to discuss.

Think he can persuade the First Presidency to buy into global warming? Maybe he’s going to try and sell them his 'Inconvenient Lie' 'documentary'? He’s gotta make more millions to pay for all the power his mansion in Nashville uses so he can save the world from a non-existent threat.

Why in the world would the First Presidency want to meet with this fraud and bozo (of all people)???

Does anyone think it is a coincidence Gore is making his visit two days before general conference? Watch for his influence when the Prophet and First Presidency speaks to us this weekend.

Influence... about what?

Maybe it has something to do with the Gay protest or maybe he is reading the book of Mormon and wants to know more.

Al Gore does not influence the Brethren, God does.

Hadn't considered that... maybe? But how and why would Al Gore come here to do that? All he would have to do is pick up the phone and why would he be the one issuing the warning anyway? He's not a part of the Fed Gov anymore. If anything, a warning would come from law enforcement... not Al Gore.

[jbalm]

I think he was trying to warn the brethren about Manbearpig.

Not sure. But I have learned to be highly suspicious of these sorts of meetings/visits... Of course you know of the meeting right after 9/11 - http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?v ... &hideNav=1

I have just been handed a note that says that a U.S. missile attack is under way…You are acutely aware of the events of September 11, less than a month ago. Out of that vicious and ugly attack we are plunged into a state of war. It is the first war of the 21st century. The last century has been described as the most war-torn in human history. Now we are off on another dangerous undertaking, the unfolding of which and the end thereof we do not know…

…Recently, in company with a few national religious leaders, I was invited to the White House to meet with the president. In talking to us he was frank and straightforward. That same evening he spoke to the Congress and the nation in unmistakable language concerning the resolve of America and its friends to hunt down the terrorists who were responsible for the planning of this terrible thing and any who harbored such.

Now we are at war…We do not know how long this conflict will last. We do not know what it will cost in lives and treasure…Those of us who are American citizens stand solidly with the president of our nation. The terrible forces of evil must be confronted and held accountable for their actions…It is the terrorist organizations that must be ferreted out and brought down.

The Brethren can be influenced apparently. As to Chavez, watch the video linked in my signature.

I did, and am sorry to see a child of our Heavenly Father fall for the false alternative to God's plan.

President Gordon B. Hinckley's Visit to the White House
A Report from the Office of the First Presidency

On Tuesday, September 18, 2001, President Gordon B. Hinckley received an invitation from the White House to come to a meeting of American religious leaders. He attended this meeting with President George W. Bush in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Thursday, September 20, 2001 at about 1:30 p.m. ET. Also present were Cardinal Bernard Law, Archbishop of Boston; Archbishop Demetrios, Primate of the Greek Orthodox Church in America; Reverend Franklin Graham, son of Reverend Billy Graham, and others representing a large diversity of religions - Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Evangelical, Jewish, etc.

[Cardinal Bernard Law, Archbishop of Boston] offered a moving invocation and then indicated to those gathered one of the main reasons for their coming together in this unique manner. Archbishop Law presented a proposed public statement which he hoped would represent the feelings of all present regarding the recent tragic events in America. After reading the statement he called for suggestions as to how it might be improved. President Hinckley voiced his opinion that it was an excellent statement and that he would not hesitate to sign it. Several others offered their suggestions and the statement was finalized for release through the White House.

The group was then lead out of the Executive Office Building, across the way to the West Wing of the White House and into the Roosevelt Room. Following a short wait, President Bush came into the room through the door leading from the Oval Office.

President Bush indicated that he wanted to say a few words and then would seek input from those assembled. "I have never felt stronger," he said, "and that strength comes from God." He went on to say," This is a struggle against evil. Fortunately, the good is bigger than the evil. We have an opportunity to find some good out of the rubble. This campaign will create a spiritual renewal in America." President Bush looked well and said that he was feeling fit and sleeping soundly. "I feel good," he said, and added, "I do not feel the heavy burden of the office that some of my predecessors wrote about."

President Bush then asked for responses from the religious leaders. President Hinckley quickly spoke up and said, "I just want you to know, Mr. President, that we are behind you. We pray for you. We love this 'nation under God.'" President Bush responded, "Thank you, President Hinckley. I'm glad that you could come."

…At the conclusion of the forty-five minute meeting, the Primate of the Greek Orthodox in America, Archbishop Demetrios, offered a tender benediction. The entire group then stood and sang the first verse of America the Beautiful. President Bush lingered to shake hands with all who wished to do so.

The invited party then went out to an area on the north side of the West Wing where reporters and cameras were placed. Archbishop Law and a few others made comments as the group was photographed. The White House later released the signed statement of the religious leaders.

President Hinckley immediately left Washington and flew back to Salt Lake City, arriving at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Bircher, no need to tread lightly with me. Tell me your concerns with Chavez and we'll see if we can separate truth from error. I'll start a new thread and take votes on who likes my Avatar.

Let's take the Chavez discussion over here: http://www.ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6979

Al Gore does not influence the Brethren, God does.

Not sure if you're putting the Brethren on too high a pedestal, or Algore on too low of one.

Putting it another way, the PTB do have a say in the affairs of the Church, else Dr. Jones would still be teaching at BYU.

[Bircher]

I don't think that is putting them on too high a pedestal. I just know that the Savior runs The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, not Al Gore.

Do the Brethren get fooled sometimes? President Benson said yes.

If we receive direction from the Brethren that may seem different than what is right, I chalk it up to my lack of understanding or the Samuel principle.

Other than that would be to say the Lord is not running His Church and it should be changed to the Church of Latter-day schmucks. IMO

#1 Gore is reminding the brethren that global warming is not a myth and they better start preaching it from the pulpit so LDS will start buying into it and prepare to be taxed till you can't run your home buisnesses any more.

#2 Gore wants to make sure the brethren are preparing the flock when the transfer of authority takes place after the dude Share International is pushing takes over.

#3 Gore wants to make sure the brethren go easy on the gays and start towing the line that AIPAC, ADL and the Hates laws have drawn in the sand.

#4 Gore has information, from one of the plants that has infiltrated the church, about something the brethren are going to talk about in conference and wants to make sure that they do not talk about it because if they do, they will not like the consequences.

#5 Satan just wants to glad hand the brethren to make the flock nervous and start spreading rumors.

Very good post, I think that there is probably more truth to these statements than I would like to believe

[shadow]

Knowing Al Gore's type, he probably asked if he could grace us by being the keynote speaker this conference.

[pritchet1]

He wants to give the church a share in his Catholic Indulgences (Carbon Credits) business, as a gift for penance of his sins.

He wants to become baptized to receive absolution for his sins.

He wants to buy into the priesthood.

He seeks marital counseling.

He seeks a priesthood blessing.

[Nan]

I believe in Global warming. Does that make me evil? I think Jesus is going to make it dang hot for the wicked.

[pritchet1]

It makes you rather naive. The globe has been in a cooling trend for 8 years.

Even Al Gore had to change his tune to "Climate Change", once he realized he could not get away with such rediculous statements.

Good one.

[pjbrownie]

On Fox 13 they stated that BOTH the Church and Al Gore wanted the fact of the meeting to be made public, even though the contents of the meeting would be private. I'm pressed to think that the topic will eventually be made known, but perhaps they're not ready to make it known yet.

Brilliant, that is how I would start off: Mr. Gore, are you aware that the day cometh that shall burn as an oven? Or how about "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. " Looks like the environment will be OK, but the dud(e)s like Gore will not.

Al Gore talks to LDS Church leaders about climate change
April 2nd, 2009 @ 9:05pm
By Carole Mikita

SALT LAKE CITY -- Former vice president, Nobel Prize winner and environmental activist Al Gore met with leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Thursday night. Gore requested the meeting, and the topic was climate change.

He was met by Elder M. Russell Ballard, Elder Quentin L. Cook, Presiding Bishop H. David Burton and other members of the Church' Public Affairs Committee. Before this meeting, church officials say Gore also met with Church President Thomas S. Monson.

According to a statement from the Church, Gore "gave a 30-minute presentation and expressed his concerns about CO2 emissions, which was followed by several minutes of questions and answers."

In 2006, Gore came to Utah to introduce what would become his Academy Award-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth" at the Sundance Film Festival. Since then, he often takes the opportunity to meet with civic, corporate and religious leaders around the country talking about the dangers of and solutions to climate change.

His next stop will be Las Vegas, where he will address a wireless communication industry convention Friday

[Truth will Prevail]

When these types of meetings take place, do you think that the members have some sort of right to know exactly what has taken place in these meetings? (So its not kept as a "secret meeting") I mean, there shoudnt be anything to hide right? Then why cant we know what was discused such as "the minutes" of the meeting?? Are we not a Free and open society?? I dont like these meetings the feeling that comes with it is not a happy warm fuzzy feeling, its more of an empty cold feeling? I just think when high up officials get together in meetings that it should be made public and if you disagree then your saying there is nothing wrong with having these types of meetings then how would you see the Latter day Gadiantons meeting in Bilderburg groups and Bohemian Grove and so on, the world knows they all meet but know one really knows what was discused??? The meeting itself the world always knows about but we never know what went on? Some one please enlighten me on this so i dont have to see it this way? I would rather see it another way if someone can give me a good satisfactory answer?
