The pass away of our beloved prophet Hinckley was a difficult moment, but the work of God don't take breaks. President Monson, we love you too before of the death of president Hinckley; you are a smart man and a man of God. God be with you.

@AdonaiShamgar You are funny but you are playing with fire.

@AdonaiShamgar read and you will know the truth

[pinadulce69]

@AdonaiShamgar read the book of mormon and you will know as i do the truth of it.

[pinadulce69]

I know that the book of mormon is true and holy. open, read, study, ponder and you will know also. don't persecute something unless you study, read, and ponder. the old testiment prophets all of them testified of the coming forth of the book of mormon and the restoration of the lamanites to the truth in the latter days.

Mr. Monson is not a prophet neither was joseph smith, i'll tell you why if you message me

[AdonaiShamgar]

Mormons and catholics are both following falsity, catholics disobey God by making graven images, mormons following a false prophet. may i say that the ROman catholic church is babylon the great harlot in revelations, they aided hitler and mussolini in WW2 with money. in revelations 17 says the city stands on 7 mountains, ROME ITALY stands on seven mountains, i can go on and on. message for questions

I hope they *DO* build one of their butt fugly temples in the Eternal CIty of Rome. Who's going to attend it? It will stand out like a turd in a bowl of milk.

Besides, everyone else will be too busy seeing St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel.
