The Pump - The Parable of "Choices and Consequences"

This film also suggests a strong tie between faith and works and shows the dangers of one who has no faith in the revealed plan as it is revealed to the individual. It is my hope and prayer that you enjoy this video. This is something that affected me greatly as a youth!

"The Pump vividly illustrates the importance of considering long-term consequences when faced with short-term temptations."

@naturevalley10 - Oh yeah... I sat in my couch just STUNNED afterwards when I was a teenager. I imagined the dude as a skeleton and EVERYTHING!

[goblinrogers]

I wish I knew what the melody was called

[ToThisEndWasIMormon]

@goblinrogers - I had just about EVERYTHING else included in the "Video Description" but I'm not sure that the SONG name was included. My apologies. I bet if you did some more digging with the info provided, you'll get that answer. (Just don't say TOO much that you saw it on YouTube... it's used with implied permission and not ACTUAL permission.)
