Elder I am so sad about what has happened. It was such a great mistake that this resolution has passed.

BobDylan, did you know that if you used Firefox as your browser it has a built in spell checker? You're a smart guy and typos are inevitable on boards like this, but using Firefox would probably enable you to work more efficiently.

Just some thoughts that I hope will be helpful. Thanks.

please explain why...

I mean this seriously... Why is some rule some men got together and made in the 70s somehow infallible??? When did we become Catholic and capable of sitting down and making absolute, unquestionable dogma???

I can't explain to you, because you don't care.

Much untruths are spread about California.

Not by me. Book it if I post it, it is a fact.

Isn't it a part of the Google Toolbar, built INTO FF?

no, I do care...

If someone can show me how a television set is, in and of itself evil, I'll get rid of mine... I don't think you can do it, but you are more than free to try...

I just really want to know when we became Catholic and decided we could sit down and make laws and then say God made them and they are infallible....

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to just send them a slip of paper with Acts 2:38 on it???:sshhh

If you are breathing you already have uncontrolled access to sin. It's everywhere. It's on the billboards driving down the road. It's on the radio in your car. It's on the newstand where the girly magazines are. It's on the internet where every sort of sexually deviant porn is freely available...

You know, it's only uncontrolled to the person who does not know how to be in control through the Holy Spirit. Temperance is a fruit of the Spirit
