Why a former high priest left Mormonism

Mike and Lynn Wilder joined the Mormon church in 1977 after Mormon missionaries knocked on their door. Lynn would go on to become a professor at Brigham Young University, and Mike eventually became a high priest in the church. They raised their children according to the precepts of the Mormon religion but would eventually come to believe the Gospel and learn the truth about the Mormon church, also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS.

In 2001, Mike and Lynn's oldest son, Micah, left home to serve a two-year LDS mission. "Micah wrote emails home while he was on his mission, dropping hints about the internal faith questions with which he struggled ... Lynn's own concerns regarding her church became a 'burgeoning internal conflict.'" Micah ended up meeting the real Jesus and being born again through faith in Christ. (Watch Micah's compelling testimony.)

Continued below.
I met Micah here in the midwest when he was serving in "Adam's Road." :D Ironically the Wilders became Mormons while I was pulling away from it.

Generally you can't distinguish a high priest from other Melchizedek Priesthood holders. They all wear dark business suits.

Do you believe in the continuation of speaking in tongues and the manifestation of spiritual gifts?

Thanks for the reply.
When The Holy Spirit confirms a teaching to me inside, it really doesn't matter what some "professor" has to say about it, does it?
In his case, I don’t know. I’ve lost track of the man. He may well be an integral position of leadership somewhere by now, worthy of “double honor” (1Tim 5:17). Now that is not meant to derail your 1Cor 15:10 being added to, lest you want to set out and refuse such honor.

The Holy Spirit’s amazing gifts can guide the work of law

WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Just as the nation’s founders relied on God’s providence, so too must all those serving in the U.S. legal profession and government today depend on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, said the homilist during the 72nd annual Red Mass Oct. 6 at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington.

These gifts are essential to maintain and thrive as a good and just society, said Deacon Darryl A. Kelley.

“What we pray for today is no mere aspiration,” he said. “No, the gifts of the Holy Spirit can be an efficacious reality in our lives, personal and professional.”

Can demons read our minds?

Well, one effect was that the town people came out, saw their dead pigs, and asked Jesus to leave. So the demons seemed to be trying to play a chess game, and the pigs were pawns in their power play. However, Jesus sent the freed demoniac into the town and he spread the news of what God had done for him -- circumventing the attempt to keep people on that area from learning of the life and love that Jesus offers.

Kevin

but remember He went back to that area and healed their sick. But I remember that’s all they wanted.

"Indeed, you won the elections, but I won the count." — Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza (1896-1956), Guardian (London), 17 June 1977.

From your article


"A former federal election official on Thursday called the $400 million-plus that Mark Zuckerberg spent to help finance local elections a “carefully orchestrated attempt” to influence the 2020 vote — and recommended that all states ban private funding of election offices."

Mark spent $400M in 2020 to try and influence the elections - but this year he is not promoting democrats so the assumption is he will not be doing the same under-the-table influencing as he did in 2020... because Republicans don't work that way.


And your question is "will his 400$M in influencing" be missed in our election process.

I suggest it will only be missed by those who prefer election meddling...
I Agree Bob, just a small part showing how large donors have been stopped through the legal channels including Mark Zuckerberg

To think Zuckerberg created a shell organization to control the 2020 elections $400+ million with strings attached, and he pulled it off in your face election meddling, something the average Joe is completely unaware of

Tom Fitton Judicial Watch has sued many states and voter roll cleanup has been seen in many states, dead, moved, etc

Indian police hunt for Hindu man who allegedly disrespected St. Francis Xavier

Police in the Indian state of Goa are on the hunt for a Hindu man who allegedly publicly disrespected St. Francis Xavier and disputed the saint’s title as protector of the state, leading to complaints from the state’s Christians, who deeply venerate St. Francis.

Catholic news outlet UCA News reported that Subhash Velingkar, a former state-unit chief of the powerful Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, publicly questioned the authenticity of the relics of St. Francis Xavier housed in the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa.

The relics are only exposed for veneration every 10 years. The next period of exposition and veneration is due to start on Nov. 21 and end on Jan. 5, 2025.

U.S. bishops praise Biden administration’s expansion of refugee resettlement program

Let me expand a bit.
He is evidently Muslim, but does not say it. He came in under Obama. I asked about if there's a problem over there by saying 'there was a problem in North Africa' and he said no.

Him and another woman [and another] all from Algeria, talk to family and send money.

OTOH the folks who came here who live near Russia [one came from Crimera when Putin took over under Obama] say their family is concerned because Putin loves weak democrats because he gains more area.
Is communism the fall of mankind? Does Russia spread their errors?
Indeed democrats are weak.

So although Bishops are calling for our charity, people coming from all over are not necessarily refugees.

I checked and Haiti is not at war.
So why are we bringing them in?

The problem with Haitians is they are Catholic in name but their culture allows voodoo.

There are no refugees.
They are immigrants who are by passing our system to conform to our language and laws.

However; democrats like to say refugee... but if the whole world is a mess right now, they need the Lord and not leave their countries just to send money out of our country.

As I work with mainly 90% 'immigrants' I am not finding any who were desperately leaving.
Except maybe the lady from Crimera.
So democrats are lying to the Church.

Just change the name to refugee.

St. Michael Prayer: A Better Translation?

The English translation of the prayer to St. Michael leaves a little to be desired.​


The Romans, as any first-year Latin student can tell you, were in the practice of ending their sentences with verbs. Regina agricolam amat, for example—literally, “The queen the farmer loves.” Unless you are Yoda, however, you would speak this sentence in English this way: “The queen loves the farmer.” (Something tells me this relationship is not going to work out.)

In any case, Latin word order often (not always) proceeds this way: subject, object, verb. In English, word order often (not always) proceeds this way: subject, verb, object. Because Latin nouns are declined—that is, they are assigned distinct endings for how they function in a sentence—it is easy to identify the subject and the object.

The Church preserves the practice of ending sentences and clauses with the predicate. Indeed, here is a sentence from Benedict XVI’s renunciation of the Petrine Office.

Nunc autem Sanctam Dei Ecclesiam curae Summi eius Pastoris, Domini nostri Iesu Christi confidimus sanctamque eius Matrem Mariam imploramus, ut patribus Cardinalibus in eligendo novo Summo Pontifice materna sua bonitate assistat.
And here it is in English:

Minnesota GOP endorses antisemite Royce White in Senate Primary

Trump vows to ‘remove the Jew haters’ if reelected during event commemorating October 7 attacks

"We’re going to remove the Jew haters who do nothing to help our country, they only want to destroy our country,” he said during the event at his golf course in Doral, Florida.

"I will tell you that [anti-Jewish hatred is] not in the Republican Party,” the former president added.

The former president said at an event last month that he had not been “treated properly by voters who happen to be Jewish” during the 2020 election and said Jewish voters would hold some responsibility if he is defeated this year, while touting his record on Israel.

Trump and White Supremacy Language:


This is a repeat of the old conspiracy theory used by white supremacists,
that crime is caused by people who have "bad genes".

The unspoken part of the argument of the eugenecists, is that it is the
non-white peoples, who tend to have these bad genes.

For some reason, Trump can't keep away from completely discredited
eugenics theories.

For a much more intelligent coverage of why people do terrible crimes,

Port Workers are Set to Strike Tuesday 10/1

Wow, you really are bitter. But whoever is forcing you to pretend that it's OK obviously isn't doing a very effective.job. And the ILA still doesn't have as good a contract as the ILWU. The automation part of it still hasn't been worked out, though, so we'll see. Harry Bridges, founder of the ILWU once said, "Even if it comes down to one person pushing one button to run a whole port that person will be union, and the richest SOB in the world..”

It's because the kinds of stuff the dockworkers union(s) are pulling, is what a lot of people advocate for as a model to be emulated much more broadly because see it as some sort of noble economic populism just because "workers got a win over corporate". (when, in fact, it's not, they've made it clear that they'd be perfectly willing to screw over other laborers both union and non-union in order to carve themselves out a sweet deal...and the model they have wouldn't be even remotely sustainable if expanded to several other sectors)

Advocates for labor shouldn't be cheering this if they have any vested interest in seeing organized labor as a sustainable entity.

Stuff like that is what eroded public support for unions in the past.

Growing up in the northeast Ohio area, I had multiple relatives who worked at the plants in Cleveland (one still does).

The kinds of things they used to brag about were the kinds of things that turned the public against them. They used to gloat about playing cards with their buddies on the job (and taking turns checking the machines they were overseeing), sneaking way to the "gentlemens clubs" for extended lunches (those ones that used to be all up and down Brook Park Road), bragging about how they can tell plant management to <bleep> off with no repercussions when the "suits" would get on them about their frequent smoke breaks... which may have gotten some laughs at first, but as car prices started increasing and the Japanese car companies started kicking our butts, people started becoming less enthused with the stuff that was going on.

They had to curtail that sort of stuff (it's different environment in those factories now from what I hear)...but it took a long time for them to claw back that public support.

Rev 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: *and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Unsaved Dwelling upon Tribulation Earth

Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bond-man, and every free-man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; Rev 6:16, 17 Rev 17:5 MYSTERY, Babylon

Different Time Lengths of the Second Forty-two Months of the Seven-year Tribulation of Earth

Rev 12:6 the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Four Steps to not Dying

Those Days in the Seven-year Tribulation

Trouble of Jacob Jer 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he will be saved out of it. Math 24:21 Rev 2:2

The vision Hab 2:2 the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it. Rev 7:14

Joel 1:3 Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

The appointed time Hab 2:3 For the vision is out for an appointed time, but at the end it will speak, and not lie: thought it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Dan 8:17, 12:9 Isa 13:11 Hour of temptation Rev 3:10 Dan 9:27

Corrupt Individuals of Earth

Rev 1:7 he comes with clouds; every eye will see him, and they also pierced him: and all kindreds of earth will wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Rev 9:20-21 the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorcery, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Rev 11:18 the nations were angry, and your wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that you should give reward unto your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear your name, small and great; and should destroy them which destroy the earth.

Rev 16:9 men were scorched with intense heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which has power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

The Shapes of the Locusts

Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

Rev 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts (fallen angels Rev 12:4) were like (similar) unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as (similar) it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as (similar) the faces of men.

Note: Demonic Locusts (Rev 12:7,8, 9:3-5) retain sharp transfixes forming circlets upon their heads (Rev 9:11), paralleling Golden Crowns upon Pentecostal Earth, and the sharp circular transfixes lacerate the hands of Individuals grabbing Demonic Locusts by their heads (Rev 9:8).

Note: Golden Crowns identifies a parallel explaining sharp golden circular transfixes upon the heads of Demonic Locusts identifies their Restricted Authority (Rev 9:3,4) during the Five-months (Rev 9:5) of the 5th Trumpet upon Tribulation Earth. (Restricted Authority of Four Fallen Angels Rev 9:17-19, Restricted Authority of the Seven Remaining Capital Cities Rev 12:3 17:3,7,9-11, and Restricted Authority of Ten-kings of the Ten-king Confederacy).

Four Demonic Angles of the 6th Trumpet prepared for war

Note: Shapes of Demonic Locust (Angels Rev 12:7,8, 9:3-5) is similar to war-horses (parallels Rev 9:17) prepared for battle having a larger front chest area (Rev 9:17) tapering toward the tail (Rev 9:5), heavy colored materials (Rev 9:9) hanging from their bodies, withstanding hard direct hits (Rev 9:8-10).

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Rev 9:15 the four (fallen) angels were loosed, that were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Fallen Angels of Tribulation Jerusalem

Rev 18:2 he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Three Demon Frogs of the Sixth Vial Prepare for War

Rev 16:13-14 I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the entire world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

The Hair and Teeth of the Locusts

Rev 9:8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

Rev 9:8 And they (locusts fallen angels) hair as (parallel) the hair of women, and their teeth were as (parallel) the teeth of lions.

Note: Demonic Locusts (Rev 12:7,8 9:3-5) retain long black (Rev 6:5,12 17:3-5) hair paralleling long hair of women (Rev 2:20) upon Pentecostal Earth.

Note: Long hair (paralleling teaching Rev 2:20, 17:3-5) of Demonic Locusts (Rev 9:3-5) becomes entangled in the body parts of Individuals (Rev 11:7-12 9:20,21, 11:18, 16:9,11,21) making it difficult for Individuals to get away from torment caused by the Demonic Locusts.

1Cor 11:14,15 Does not even nature itself teach you (Saints), that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him (Rom 1:24-27 homosexuals)? [15] But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her (John 12:3 wiped feet of Lord with long hair): for her hair is given her for a covering (Gen 3:16 desire of wife to husband 1Pet 3:3 1Tim 2:9 adornment of woman).

Teeth of Demonic Locusts

Rev 9:8b (Apostle John describes Rev 9:1) and their (Demonic Locusts) teeth were as (parallel) the teeth of lions.

Note: Apostle John discloses sharp scissoring eyeteeth and strong grinding cheek teeth of Demonic Locusts (Rev 12:7,8 9:3-6) parallel sharp scissoring eyeteeth and strong grinding cheek teeth of lions piercing, cutting, and shredding flesh of Individuals upon Tribulation Earth.

Note: Apostle John discloses teeth of the Four Horses (Rev 9:17), similar to lions’ teeth, paralleling the scissoring eyeteeth and strong grinding cheek teeth of Demonic Locusts (Rev 9:3-5).

1. Isa 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that will not profit them.

Why did Jesus not explicitly spell out that he was God in the Gospels?

Mr, Spock, true pure faith is superior to logic anytime.
Heartily agreed. The word "logic" is merely another word for "words". Its use is as a synonym for "reasoning", and Christ the Lord did not respond encouragingly to "reasoning" between people who are not God. Rather, He simply delivered the words worthwhile to have faith into. I shall prefer His example.
