New "Ministering" Example
https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.or ... -in-brazil
"Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, accompanied by his wife, Lesa, ministered in Recife and São Paulo, Brazil, May 20–26."
Follow Elder Stevenson's example of "ministering"-
1. Make a bazillion dollars in stock options.
2. Do not sell it and give the funds to the poor and needy.
2. Travel the world meeting and sucking up to religious and government leaders and discussing how to help the poor and needy.
3. Do not actually visit and bless the poor and needy.
4. Have the PR department toot the horn about how you are "ministering."

Per the article: Sheikh Mohamad Al Bukai, Director of Islamic Affairs of the National Union of Islamic Entities of Brazil (UNI), and Sheikh Jihad Hassan Hammadeh of the Abu Bakr Mosque, at the Mesquita Brasil in São Paulo, Brazil, on May 24, 2023
No poor were needed for the event. He got in a full day's ministering like the Apostles of old would have, rubbing shoulders at swanky Sanhedrin HQ.

An easier to understand word for minister. Help people. Also teach them to help themselves.

Re: New "Ministering" Example
I think that’s probably why most members worship the church over God/Truth/Righteousness. It benefits THEM to go along with a cult that rewards obedience (even if obeying evil) & punishes dissent (even if dissenting to prioritize God). Narcissists find ways to make it appear they are helping others when really they are doing it for their own benefit. Of course, we all - especially as children - have some degree of selfishness - & ideally work on it & other weaknesses continuously.Good & Global wrote: ↑June 1st, 2023, 11:03 pm An easier to understand word of modern ministering helping yourself feel like you are helping people
Recently, I came across an interesting interpretation of the greatest commandments. It may sound obvious when I put it into words but it spiritually made an impression on me, as a glimpse into what I want to grow into. When we feel really close & loved by God, we then feel almost 1 with God & others - so then we naturally love others as if we are loving ourselves because we see the connection.
On a related note, there is a somewhat verified assertion that conscious focus itself produces influence. Ie the double split experiment, but also it’s suggested just by looking at & appreciating beauty of plants, animals etc, they are enhanced by it & as if your awareness & appreciation of them makes them slightly more aware & appreciative of their own goodness. And how much more impactful that’d be with our brothers & sisters!

And it also means the human qabal ultinatrly has power only bevause humans allow them power. Like a co dependent relationship.
Or stockholme abusive relationship. The victim has learned to love their captors even if it means kilking more victims.

This is true on interactions within our physical world and makes me think of how everything even the earth has a spirit.Thinker wrote: ↑June 2nd, 2023, 1:23 pmI think that’s probably why most members worship the church over God/Truth/Righteousness.

It is hard to have a THEM group when you have the true love of Christ.
