The Most Important Decision

[Deren]

After completing some research for a writing project, I came across something during the research provided by the LDS Church which piqued my interest. In it the Mormons consistently pointed to one thing which absolutely assured everyone who partook in it the joy of eternal life. Do you know what it is? Please make your poll selection and comments, and after a while I'll share their imperative assurance with everyone.

All the laws of God are summed up in loving your neighbor.

Ah, but that is not one of the selections, and that certainly is not what Mormonism tells us. So, please make a selection. The answer is there, and then we'll talk about it later.

I bet it was 'joining the true church'

Only Joseph Smith knows for sure.

Dang it and I thought it was getting a business degree from BYU and representing the LDS church.

(Mind you I'm joking and I mean no offense to any of the LDS members. Well joking about the business degree. I am half thinking about working on a philosophy degree at BYU.)

 

[Deren]

Interesting results so far. Our Mormon neighbors should get this one hands down.

Methinks that some people aren't taking this poll seriously Whatcha think, Daren? Did you mean this thread to be a joke

You're probably right, Sven, but the Poll is to be taken serious, since it stems from something that I discovered along the way to writing a paper on the existence of God. What I think may be the real problem is that many of our LDS neighbors are leary about what they're going to discover, not only about LDS beliefs, but about themselves as well.

The one I voted for is the one I see most often when I watch BYU TV for no more than 5 minutes at a time. It is often said several times in someones speach, in regards to a co-op effort.

Not funny t'all.

 

[SayWhat???]

Deren,

I have to admit that I've never heard of "fast tithes" before. Are they the opposite of "slow tithes," or what???

BTW, how have you been?

Thankfully, I don't have cable. And when I have viewed BYU-TV, it was for even a less amount of time that what you've watched it. So, I can't relate to what you're saying, except that obedience is a big-time theme as you suggest. But, just a slight hint, when I was researching, and as important as obedience was, it even took a backseat to this definitive principle.

Only if you don't have a sense of humor.

Actually I should have said "fast offering," rather than "fast tithing."

In addition to tithing, we have in the Church what we call fast offering. The members of the Church fast once a month and contribute the equivalent of the meals not eaten—and anything in addition we would like—as a fast offering to help the poor and the needy.--Ensign, June 1998.

As for how I've been, oh, just finer than frog hair.

Well, I've got satellite, and yet, there is still nothin on many times.

However, you've peeked my interest, so spill it soon.....
