Mandating that homosexuals be able to serve as scoutmasters . . . would be like having a male Girl Scout leader.  I can't imagine any parent that would allow a male to be primary chaperone for an outing where the girls are undressing and taking showers and baths out in the wild.

Great nations die when they cease to live by the great principles which gave them the vision and strength to rise above tyranny and human degradation. Unless the abortion decision is reversed . . . the future of America is in grave doubt, for no nation can remain free or exercise moral leadership when it has embraced the doctrine of death.

5 And thou shalt continue in calling upon God in my name, and writing the things which shall be given thee by the Comforter, and expounding all scriptures unto the church.

7 For thou shalt devote all thy service in Zion; and in this thou shalt have strength.

9 And in temporal labors thou shalt not have strength, for this is not thy calling. Attend to thy calling and thou shalt have wherewith to magnify thine office, and to expound all scriptures, and continue in laying on of the hands and confirming the churches.

-- The Lord, to Joseph Smith (D&C 24:5,7,9)

        "At one point during Khrushchev's visit, the Soviet Premier boasted to the Agriculture Secretary that Benson's own grandchildren would live under Communism.  Benson replied tartly that he expected to do all in his power to assure that Khrushchev's and all other grandchildren would live under freedom.  The Communist leader then responded in essence, according to Benson's personal account: 'You Americans are so gullible.  No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism.' "

"Physicists have already brought most of the forces of nature into a single underlying theory. The ultimate theory will incorporate gravity as well. ....The discovery of the final theory could have a cultural influence as well, one comparable to what was felt at the birth of modern science. ...Learning how the universe is governed by the impersonal principles of a final theory may not end mankind's persistent superstitions, but at least it will leave them a little less room."

-- Steven Weinberg, TIME, April 10, 2000; pp. 86,87

The new unified field theory being set forth by David W. Allan which includes a new model for gravity also introduces a fifth field -- the spiritual dimension. The theory (not yet published) shows how the spiritual dimension ties into the physical, in essence providing scientific means of verifying the spiritual realm.

37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies--because of the praise of the world?
39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?

"The custodians of 'respectable' opinion seek to induce public amnesia regarding the crimes of Communism....

"In the 1997 edition [of Guinness Book of World Records], the section describing 'Worst mass Killings' indicted Communist Cambodia for the worst genocide 'as a percentage of a nation's total population'; Red China for the largest aggregate body count (between 26.3 and 63.7 million victims) in state-sponsored killings; and National Socialist (Nazi) German for 'the most extreme extermination campaign against a people.' The 1998 edition, however, dispenses entirely with any mention of Red China."

"Yet in this scenario there was less of that turmoil on the western portion of our country. There was even a certain amount of prosperity, and it was there that I could see the new seat of power, if that is what it could be called. This area, or city or whatever, while on the eastern edge or shore line of the western portion of land, was located in almost the exact center of the combination of both halves of the country. Later when I looked at a map of the United States, I realized that it would have been very near present-day Kansas City.

"From this location I could see power radiating outward, almost like light flowing out to strengthen and stabilize other areas. This power was what I called patriotism or strong moral character or spirituality -- a true spiritual force that was the only real governing power over the whole land. This is why I called that area the seat of power.

"But I must state this power was totally spiritual -- a true power of spirit such as the angel beside me was exhibiting, or that I had felt emanating from Christ while I had been in His presence."

        "I knew my being in Christ's presence was only temporary, for I was not fully prepared to remain there.  I remember the phrase 'higher laws and ordinances,' which I knew meant at least proper baptism, filling my mind, and I knew I would have to go back to mortality and take care of those things before I could remain in His presence forever."

"Now I want you to sit here and learn two very important lessons. The first lesson is that even in the making of a simple think like a pencil, we use a lot of the world's natural resources. When we throw them away, we are throwing away the world's natural resources, and that is violence against nature. The second lesson is that because in an affluent society we can afford to buy all of these things in bulk, we overconsume these things, and because we overconsume the resources of the world, we are denying those resources to people elsewhere who have to live in poverty. And that is violence against humanity."

In 1996, there were 1,260,000 babies born to unmarried women, or 32.4 percent of all births. Back in 1960, only 224,300 children were born out of wedlock, or 5.3 percent of the total.

"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." (Mosiah 3:19.)

        There are 435 hits for the word "revelation" in the New Testament, including each verse of the book of Revelation. Those of the outlying areas of Utah are far more prone to be interested in receiving personal revelation as well as studying the book of Revelation, than are those of the central 801 area, who say to "let the Brethren do all the revealing for us," which amounts to virtually nothing, for their primary revelation is to "leave the mysteries alone."

"Let's call a spade a spade.  The W.T.O. is nothing other than a vehicle for managed trade whereby the politically connected, campaign contributors and fat cats get the benefits of exercising their position as a preferred group.

Here is how this shell game works. Congress gets a wish list from the State Department asking for $22 billion. Congress holds hearings, looks it over and cuts a few items here and there that they do not want to fund. Let's say they end up giving the State Department $21 billion for next year's "international affairs" operations. Congress naively expects the State Department spend the money as outlined in the budget. But that isn't what happens. Once in State's hands, all Clinton has to do is issue a Presidential Decision Directive (PDD), the specific wording of which is always kept secret, and this big pot of money can flow in any direction he directs.
