"God is presented to the world in different ways in many other religions that had an inspired beginning.  Notice that each religion has a different name for God.  This is because the name has a particularly important message for their consciousness that will help their particular group or race progress."

John the Revelator, to J.J. Dewey
Book I of The Immortal

          "It is sad that the ancient science of names and the power of their meaning has been lost to the world.  But this loss is temporary. Mankind will soon learn the power of names again."

John the Revelator, to J.J. Dewey
Book I of The Immortal

          "This is perhaps the most important advice you will ever receive: Always live by the highest light you have already received.  If you do, you will receive more, worlds without end.   If you do not, your progression will come to an end and cannot proceed until you go back, review the last light you have received, and then live your live according to the standard of that light."

John the Revelator, to J.J. Dewey
Book I of The Immortal

        "And they had power given unto them, insomuch that they could not be confined in dungeons; neither was it possible that any man could slay them; nevertheless they did not exercise their power until they were bound in bands and cast into prison. Now, this was done that the Lord might show forth his power in them."

-- Alma 8:31

The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people'' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital. -- Neal Barnard, M.D., President, PCRM

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

"U.S. businesses and government agencies are spending about $100 billion to keep the Year 2000 glitch from crashing their computers, making a simple two-digit programming 'bug' the most expensive peacetime catastrophe in modern history.   'The Y2K price tag works out to $365 for every U.S. citizen,' said Commerce Secretary William Daley."

        "The church will not be aligned with the Christian right as a political action group. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints limits its involvement in politics to issues the church deems to have religious or moral implications, such as abortion or same-sex marriage.  For everything else, the political process is fine as it is."

First Quorum of the Seventy

        "And now it came to pass that all this was done in Mormon, yea, by the waters of Mormon, in the forest that was near the waters of Mormon; yea, the place of Mormon, the waters of Mormon, the forest of Mormon, how beautiful are they to the eyes of them who there came to the knowledge of their Redeemer; yea, and how blessed are they, for they shall sing to his praise forever."

-- Mosiah 18:30

The word "Mormon" is used in an overtly redundant fashion -- six times -- in Mosiah 18:30.  1830 is the year the Mormon church was founded.

"Throughout history, the chief impediment to the growth of the total state has been the family. Now, in a torturous twist of irony, the Family Voice-organized coalition proposes to facilitate the growth of a global state in the name of protecting the family."

66 x 66 = 4356.  Word 4356 in James Strong's "Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary" appendix in his Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is on page 66.   See "435 and the Mormon Remnant Outcasts." 

It means, "A pen (for flocks); (sheep) fold." 

Word 4356 in the Greek NT means "a taking to oneself, acceptance, receiving, admission," which calls to mind the image of the awakened Remnant who receive that which they have and hence are given greater things until they receive a fulness, being taken into God's presence and sealed as his.

Internationalism Itself Not Evil

Helaman 6

5 Yea, and many did preach with exceedingly great power and authority, unto the bringing down many of them into the depths of humility, to be the humble followers of God and the Lamb.

7 And behold, there was peace in all the land, insomuch that the Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they would, whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites.

8 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would, whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites; and thus they did have free intercourse one with another, to buy and to sell, and to get gain, according to their desire.

9 And it came to pass that they became exceedingly rich, both the Lamanites and the Nephites; and they did have an exceeding plenty of gold, and of silver, and of all manner of precious metals, both in the land south and in the land north.

The saints are not always the church,
and the church is not always made of saints.

"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:18.)

"I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them." (Daniel 7:21.)

"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." (Revelation 13:7.)

"But inasmuch as they keep not my commandments, and hearken not to observe all my words, the kingdoms of the world shall prevail against them." (D&C 103:8.)

       "Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to [*turn to the Lord] when he is afraid; one who will be [**submissive] in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in [***righteous] victory."

-- General Douglas MacArthur
"A Father's Prayer," quoted in MacArthur, His Rendezvous with History by Courtney Whitney (1955)

*MacArthur's said, "face himself," but it takes more courage to be vulnerable enough to turn to God, when the world around us places such an awful stigma of weakness on religion.
** MacArthur said "proud and unbending," but I take the liberty to improve upon his testosterone-heavy paradigm which resists correction.
***Victory in this world is often had by the brute beast, so I added this qualifier.
