South Jordan, Utah -- Police shot and killed a man after he refused to drop his shotgun and headed toward a group of people on a Christmas Day stroll outside a Utah Mormon Temple, authorities said.
The man had been in an altercation Saturday afternoon in the parking lot outside the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, South Jordan police Lt. Dan Starks said.
Parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends, Primary leaders—each of us can reach out to hold on to the children. We can stop, kneel down, and look into their eyes and feel of their innate desire to follow the Savior. Take hold of their hands. Walk with them. It is our chance to anchor them on the path of faith.
My beloved brothers and sisters, it’s somewhat amazing to realize that an entire year has passed since the First Presidency Christmas Devotional of 2009. It seems that time goes by ever faster as the years pass.
I wonder what BOGUS you believe, since, as a wise man said, when you cease to believe in God (or in His word, or work, or prophets) you do not cease to believe, you merely start believeing anything. So, what's the bogus fable you believe in? You keep insulting our beliefs, which would be wrong in any case, even if they were wrong or false (respect and freedom of worship mean anything to you?), and you keep insulting us even if we try to defend ourselves? Isaiah said something about this...
Besides, I see you are fond of Extreme Makeover Home Edition... I like to program, too, and your channel is not like all those Anti- hateful out there. So, why losing your time bashing somebody's faith? Do something positive, lift others, search for the truth as you see fit and let others do the same. Isn't that a wise idea?
Woops! Yes I am a EMHE fan like many others around the world. I have my issues with Mormonism ever since I found out they did baptism for the dead on behalf of my father. Nobody from my family is mormon! Mormosim is a creation of smith's. No evidence what so ever exist not even the Plates. You have no prophet or apostles just men in business suits.
The Good - she never knew smith and young were polygamist along with other church leaders - she never knew smith was a mason and the similarities of the mormon and mason endowment ceremony - the changes in temple ceremonies etc.
The Bad - majority of her family are members - She communicated with some of the nicest and honest people I have ever met - Her Bishop was a very good friend of mine(things are not the same) - branded for leaving
ALL hard evidence points to Joseph Smith having one wife. DNA, Court documents, OFFICIAL marriage records, first hand accounts by those who knew him best and declarations by Joseph Smith himself many many times.
@omiolo But how could Joseph require Brigham young and other church leaders to practice the polygamy principal and not do it himself? Merry christmas by the way. Could i see the declarations made by joseph that he only had one wife?
@TheOptimusprime9 "But how could Joseph require Brigham young and other church leaders to practice the polygamy principal and not do it himself?"
You have VERY faulty information. Brigham Young testified many times that Joseph Smith NEVER practiced polygamy. Brigham Young instituted polygamy in 1852 per a proclamation.
@omiolo Uh, are you saying that Joseph never told Brigham Young to practice polygamy? That's pretty bold. I believe Joseph smith was a prophet and all but I'm pretty sure he practiced polygamy. Just saying.
@TheOptimusprime9 "Joseph never told Brigham Young to practice polygamy?"
Obviously I could NOT know EVERYTHING that was said between the two. Brigham Young testified to the Senate that polygamy started with him. Emma Smith testified that Joseph Smith taught that polygamy could only be practiced if certain conditions were met.
Do the 10 Commandments tablets exist? As for baptism for the dead, if somebody did wrong, baptizing him without any right to do so, for any reason, then you may be upset, even if: if this biblical and LDS practice is true, then your father may well choose to accept or reject it. If it is NOT true and it's a fantasy, then why bother? If some ancestor of mine were to be baptized Catholic posthumously, I'd give no care. It wouldn't have any effect. As for prophets and apostles: John 7:17, simply.
I will I could live up to his standards. The patience, the longer suffering, and the desire to do the will of God no matter how vilified he would be and was!
What a great mastery of the English language you show, to say nothing of respect for what other believe... You're so full of it, go ahead and break yourself against the truth, as Cecil B.DeMille would have said. People like you keep bashing him and his work since 1830... and the only result you got is making the cause of truth grow stronger and larger, whilst making your soul weaker. Not a smart move, I'd say! I guess you'll keep going until somebody called Christ comes, then you'll understand.
"Uh, you can use these to 'check up on facts' just don't read 'em cover to cover." Hilarious!

"The adult male armed with a shotgun had become involved with at least one other person on the temple grounds," Starks told The Associated Press.
He said police arrived shortly afterward and repeatedly ordered the shotgun-toting man to drop the weapon.
"While carrying the shotgun, he fled from the officers toward where there were other people," he said.

I believe that God saw to it, NOT to include too much physical evidence as part of his experiment.
I have found that in the last days (our days) that all one has to do is a brief study, Then ask with pure intent.
The windows of heaven are then opened to a unmistakable answer of Spirit, Joy, Guidance, Love and Direction.
All the things men seek?

I agree with all of that except Smith being a polygamist.
The evidence is strongly to the contrary.

@omiolo1 What evidence shows that Joseph Smith was not a polygamist? I was reading on fair that he had lots of wives...
