“What is Correct (or how to understand what’s going on today) (short essay)

Was asked what I meant by PC – my reply: Bringing politics into one's behavior - wearing of offensive clothing  against the police - I've been involved in Civil Rights from the 1950's - was with Martin Luther King for an evening in Harlem in 1964 (I was 18 at the time - we spent over 8-9 hours discussing some of my essays and white/black issues - at my age it irritates me that the education and political correctness is re-writing history to be non-recognizable - teaching hatred and separatism rather than getting education - keeping families together - rather than having the government being one or more parents in some sections of our nation. Watching riots when criminals commit crimes - and get caught.

Smile - went off a little - by the way I was most likely the only white kid in Harlem at 4AM - when Dr. King had his driver take me back to the Naval Receiving Station in Brooklyn - chuck

My Friends reply, “I believe we have to agree to disagree”  “I’d prefer to think that I stand during the anthem and hold my hand across my heart to recognize the ideals that we aspire to, not the reality of what we are.

I recognize, however, that I’m a middle-aged white man, and it’s easy and painless for me to do so.  I recoil in horror at the reality of how minorities are treated in some parts of this country.  I know how it offends me, and if I were a young athlete, I’d be sorely tempted to find a way to speak out on the issue.”

My Reply: We don't disagree! I've great empathy for the situation in this nation - especially for those who've been subjected to a different type of slavery - one by our government and those who believe their the minority leaders (who only care for themselves). I've lived and worked with migrants - have been into the worst ghettos of this nation - hitch-hiked the complete east coast and across the south to the west coast before I was 19 years old - at the age of 11 and again at 15 I ran away from my adoptive home to see what it was I was supposed to be learning.

Anyone anywhere can change - it has to come from within - not without - attitude makes all the difference - incentives and fear do absolutely nothing but keep the norm temporarily - or influence others to stay where they are - i.e. both are external and can be increased or cut off at the will or dementia of the other.

Not understanding why what is happening to one in their choices is the fault of those who desire to keep them subservient. When I was with Dr. King (Dr. McLean, Dr. Abernathy, Dr. Brooks) in Harlem we were discussing the essay I'd written at 17 entitled, "Man's Right to be a Human Being." We spent nine hours asking and answering questions. What Dr. King wanting the other leaders (JJ and Big Al) didn't want - they wanted power - Dr. King and those close to him wanted rights and understanding.

The murdered Dr. King and then took over his movement - till what we've got today - a lying media - corrupt politicians - and a distortion of most everything in this nation. Therefore - anyone who wants to do the right thing for the right reason at the right time is considered a racist - and need to be destroyed - i.e. police - law abiding citizens - and make heroes of the criminals - illegals - and other who are the parasites of our nation.

This has become so insidious in our nation that more and more white families are one parent - into the 3rd and 4th generation - taking and giving nothing - using the system - having granny raise the kids or simple living together without either marriage or commitments.

Lest you think otherwise - I used to care in South Africa for the children (we were in the hospital at the same time) of the owners of the one transsexual bar/night club in Durban. Thus I knew many who were gay/lesbian/transsexuals - and many were easy to get along with - while at the same time as we've idiots in the straight community and they've theirs caring not for the privacy of a relationship - but selfish/demanding and difficult to get along with. Life is difficult when one doesn't want to be responsible or accountable for their actions but demand others to notice them and provide for them.

We speak out on various issues by the example we set and gaining a better understanding of what is really going on. Minorities have choices - which those we read about daily - and see profiled in the news - have abdicated. BLM and others of their ilk who riot - destroy - demean - are not minorities but parasites - those who defend a violent criminal who's shot during a crime - and then incite the community to riot and destroy - to attack whitey - or those who wander the streets and play the 'knock out' game - are the same only worse - because they could change their act to being productive. When Huey N. and the Black Panthers were first organized they went into their communities and helped - but not today!

Yes the conditions which many are raised - drugs - prostitution - filth - is a choice - not always made by those who live in it - but those who have or had responsibility for them. All the government dollars go into the pockets of others - for it indeed they went to the needy - there'd be no reason they'd all not have homes and families without the drugs and other crimes. We've spent as a nation for every single person in the inner-cities to have over a half-million dollars per family - only to see it go up in smoke and mirrors.

What this QB was protesting was his ignorance of what is really going - yes there's bad police - some white - some black and other races - however for the most part most are honest with families - caring for their community.  The msm only focuses on the evil - and then not even them just that a cop shot a black person. Remember when a cop shot a white teenager in SLC - who was bringing out his cell phone - there were no riots or even media coverage. Or when the 5 year old white girl was sexually abused by illegal aliens transported into our nation - everyone has tried to cover it up.

Please understand we don't disagree - we do agree - chuck

"Withdrawing Our Wrath" (short essay)

“Withdrawing our Wrath”

cji

5/2/16

Too often we speak too loudly before remembering the council given throughout the ages from the Scriptures. We speak of fighting back – taking it the enemy or adversary but forget history! Anger is one thing – righteous anger is the Lord’s – not ours and unless we’re in tune with him any exercise of anger on our part could and must likely would misguided. We’ve no right to cast final judgment on another – only the judgment which would protect ourselves; our homes; our families; and our nation.

This judgment is called intermediate judgment, i.e. we don’t let foxes in the henhouse it’s not good for them and especially not good for the hens. Therefore we build protections to keep them out. The same within our personal lives we don’t want criminals (of any kind) invading our personal space – therefore we lock our doors – and have other means to protect our personal loved ones. In deed in some states we’ve laws such as the Castle Doctrine and others which allow us to use ‘deadly force’. Each of these instances are where our personal space has been attacked – self-defense is both appropriate and understood.

Throughout history – those attacked by an adversary have the right to defend themselves – and only then – for the righteous have only been successful when the Lord is on their side. Righteous means those keeping all of the Commandments all of the time. Otherwise the Lord will use the wicked to by usage of force clean up those who profess Him but don’t keep His Commandments. Then he turns around and allows other wicked to fight against the wicked. (Note: A good review of the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon will validate this completely.)

There’s a rule of thumb called never cast the first stone! Another way of saying don’t fire the first shot (unless another has said they’re going to kill, rape or otherwise attack you and have the ability to do so). We need to remember all in this world will have tribulations and especially the righteous!  And in our nation we are surely facing massive tribulations. What we’re experiencing has been experienced in the past as well – so we are not special in this respect other than it is us and not someone somewhere else in history.

One can look at the current protests in our nation as we seek to find a candidate to run for president. Of those running several are seeking to further destroy the Constitution – others are doing most anything to win – and the protesters appear to be hirelings of both the political left and the political correct. If these were honest protesters who didn’t want to leave the US as they’re here illegally they’d be doing it peacefully to set a good example. Instead they’re out to riot and bring shame to themselves and especially those from Mexico bringing shame to their forefathers. They invited themselves to be made to leave the US as they’ve nothing to offer except contempt, hatred and destruction. However, in saying this we’ve to remember as average citizens we can do very little about this situation. We cannot are ourselves and march across the nation to encounter them. (Note: At least three or four states would have us arrested for carrying guns/weapons across their states.) Therefore what we can do is continue to set a good example of a good example – saying true to the covenants we’ve made.

We’ve to withdraw our wrath – we’ve to pray for these enemies of our nation and our freedoms! And we’ve to let Heavenly Father handle this is his way and especially in his time. He didn’t elect selfish, corrupt politicians – we did! He didn’t force anyone to break the laws of the land – they did of their own free will and choice. He didn’t tell us to go out and get vengeance – using man’s religions – ignoring His Prophets – they did. All we’ve been Commanded to do is to be obedient to Him and His Son our Lord and Master Jesus The Christ.

We’re commanded to clean up our selves – our families – our homes – our neighborhoods and thus affect our nation to become more righteous. The problem is too few place too little trust in the Lord and therefore have little faith and understanding of what is really taking place in our world today. We’re in the latter-days for our civilization – whether it be sooner or later we don’t know – only the Father – but we’re to know and understand the Scriptures – we’re to know Our Father in Heaven and His Son – Jesus Christ – personally – to honor them – respect them (which means to be obedient to them in all things – and nothing less) being accountable and responsible to them fully.

Below are lists of Scriptures for our observation – of course they’re out of context but one can go back and read them fully. Remember he who initiates the fight or conflict is usually never in the right – we’ve a right to defend ourselves. Remember it is the citizens of this nation who’ve elected unrighteous leaders for decades – going against all of the teachings of the Founding Fathers – when one says I’m picking the lesser of two evils they’re still voting for evil – and this nation has surely voted for evil. May we repent – most likely doubtful that many will – but individually we can bring our families back into the garden or vineyard of the Lord – I pray in the name of Jesus Christ – amen – c/ork

"Unable to Fight Back"

“Why Can’t we Fight Back”

c/ork

Prologue: Over time our nation has become an Oligarchy One Party System run by the elite. All of the Federal Government positions are elected – and this requires money and political correctness. The Constitution is being destroyed by those it was meant to protect the average citizen from – the unrighteous, selfish, and those who desire power, wealth, greed, lusts fulfilled and as a previous president in answer to why he did the hedonistic things he did, “Because I could!”

In a nation run by an oligarchy one can never fight back with the exception of the ballot – and this is sometimes almost impossible – thus we’ve to understand that the worldly will have their way up to a point – remember in the New Testament – the Savior said, “I came not to bring peace but a two-edged sword” – thus with our agency to choose right or wrong – no one will be denied their choice! However, in the same breath those who choose not to obey all of the Commandments will have no excuse – none! Throughout history – the Lord’s vengeance has been shown over and over – and this generation will have to face theirs as well.

Many who claim to be on the side of the Lord will find that they are not – not because they don’t want to be but the rules haven’t been clearly taught to them. After the early 300’s most of the doctrines of God’s Law were fully destroyed the same as our Constitution is being destroyed – from within the nation. This was foretold early in the history of what we know as the US – by the Founding Fathers and also astute persons from around the globe who studied the US in its infancy. Thus with none teaching correct doctrine since before 300AD is it any problem to understand why most today do not know or understand it?

Alfred the Great – truly understood it – but after he died William the Conqueror destroyed the last vestiges of it in 1066. Not until the early 1500’s did some of it again came to the light of the day – especially after the printing press in c.1440. Even then the wording and understanding was left to the translations of men who were severely punished for their acts. Thus politically correct language even then had to be applied and especially in the interpretation. The clergy of the day never really let go of the teachings of Augustine and Origen the early fathers of modern Christianity. Greek philosophy mixed with acceptable doctrine ruled the days of the awakening and still for the most part even today.

While the rules are simple – obey the Commandments (all of them and there are more than ten) – Love the Father and the Son – and to Love one’s neighbor as oneself – are but two. When one is selfish – seeking altruistic justification for their actions after the fact – lusting rather than loving – destroying others and their beliefs – allowing the same sins as Sodom, Pompeii and others – found today throughout the world and especially the USA. The ability to fight back becomes as impossible for one stopping a raging river or a speeding bullet.

Therefore what are the solutions when one cannot fight back. There are several: 1) vote when you can for the best candidates; 2) raise a righteous family studying the Scriptures in common sense; 3) being obedient to all of God’s Laws, Statutes and Commandments (this requires one to know them – and they are found in the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon and Latter-day revelations); 4) understand the love of the Father and the Son for us – and therefore – believe them‼! and 6) Trust in the Father and the Son – enduring to the end!

The destruction of the wicked has taken place repeatedly over the history of our mortal being or since Adam and Eve. What took place before that we can understand to be the same as God is unchanging! It’ll take place in our day in varying degrees – most without many of us knowing. Storms kill many – Earthquakes even more – we don’t know who of those lost were righteous or evil – we do know that many criminals are killing each other daily. Does this restore the Constitution or God’s Law – not to our understanding but we’ve to trust in Heavenly Father that some of those lost could’ve made things even worse.

Trust in the Lord – therefore you’ve to know him personally – many choose to be more attracted to idols and legends in their time – than to learning and knowing the Father or the Son. Many are taught they cannot know them in spite of what the Scriptures tell them differently. Sadly – most will not accept that they both have physical bodies of flesh and bone (testified to in the Scriptures and especially by the Son after his resurrection) – and therefore refuse to feel they can know them as a Father, Brother and especially as a Friend.

Why can’t we fight back – because we believe fighting back is going after a wicked system run by a selfish group of elitists – which is not within our power or ability. The Savior said, ‘Fear not the world for I’ve overcome the world’ let us believe him – trust him and therefore obey him. In his name even Jesus the Christ – amen!

Hi Chuck: This article and the one I sent just before it scare me a lot.  What do you know about this information? –

Purging and Transforming Our Military

One can go and read the full context of the below – but I’ve edited it simply to give the gist of what is being stated. c/ork

Posted By Matthew Vadum On November 8, 2013 @ 12:56 am In Daily Mailer, FrontPage

President Obama hasn’t just been hollowing out the military since taking office, he’s been gutting it, purging it of ideologically hostile personnel, and fundamentally transforming it into something other than a war-fighting force, military experts say.

… This is, of course, the same through-the-looking-glass administration that goes out of its way not to label actual Islamic terrorists as terrorists, that calls terrorist attacks “man-caused disasters,” and refers to the Global War on Terror as the “Overseas Contingency Operation.”

… The former officer said that President Obama is getting rid of experienced war fighters for no apparent reason.

… The military is being turned into a laboratory for radical social engineering experiments. They’re wrecking the finest military force the world has ever known — brighter, better educated, trained, led, and now the most combat-experienced military force in the history of the world. And they’re not standing up and saying, “stop wrecking it.” This administration is intent on wrecking it.

… Americans ought to be alarmed that the administration is now using the same heavy-handed, un-American tactics to turn members of the nation’s armed forces against its domestic political adversaries. We know, for example, that a January 2013 Department of Defense (DoD) diversity training center “student guide” entitled “Extremism” instructs soldiers that conservative organizations are “hate groups” and Tea Party supporters are potentially dangerous extremists.

… This is what happens when you make a radical left-wing community organizer Commander-in-Chief of America’s armed forces.

My Reply:

Yup – remember he’s a zealot with a mission – think of him as a sleeper agent of the Oligarchical Left. Between Carter, Clinton and he they’ve destroyed one of the best trained and equipped militaries in the world – till not it cannot even complete 1/3 of its overall mission to protect and defend the Constitution of the US. Remember also he’s had many inner-city youth in a ‘Brown Shirt’ program for several years now – and indeed the massive ammo purchases. In line with this is the UN goal (Ezra Taft Benson) to disarm the US – without worrying about China, Russia or any other nation adverse to the US. A couple months ago I wrote an essay referring to this and various detention centers already built around the US – think of the land grab of the EPA and others – making normally state or privately owned lands – federal. In the West you all see this much more than we do here on the East Coast.

Any within the military – who do not pledge their ‘souls’ to him and not to the people/Constitution are either forced to retire or kept from promotions. One forgets the overall mission of the FBI is not just spying on the American people but building a ‘black book’ to blackmail anyone who opposes POTUS – this is in keeping with Chicago Politics – one would guess this is why Congress (even in Athenian Democracy this was not allowed c. 5^th Century BC) – Judges and others are afraid of him. He also retains a lawyer team (it used to be at $6 Million per year) to defend and advise on how far he can go – and this has been broadened continuously over the past five years. That the MSM give him a free pass (most likely because they’ve been threatened with blackmail) and also that they’re part of the liberal education they’ve received on the evils of capitalism and the wonders of Socialism/Communism (of which their definition has nothing to do with what they really are) and thus the totalitarian dictatorship oligarchy is slowly coming into being. Currently he’s bypassed both Congress and the Courts with over 1000+ Executive Orders with no regard to the Constitution or the nation.

The world game of King of the Mountain has been going on for ages (refer to many of the writings of Hugh Nibley) – and it still continues today. What most forget is that the needed allies to become king – become the next series of enemies for the current king. What they all forget who’ve lived and been raised up in a free society – is that China is playing the game of ‘Go’ – and there are no allies – or contenders for the thrown when the game is over. If anyone doubts this China has a puppet state called N. Korea – where they try everything out. i.e. anyone who appears to be a threat – is a threat – might grow up to be a threat is eliminated – and as in the old mafia – all of their family with them; which we’re witnessing at the current time.

Most continue to ignore the book, “Unrestricted Warfare” written by two Chinese Colonels in 1998 and translated to English in 1999. Satan was most likely a third co-author as it is his plan as well. The overall premise is to fund, encourage and initiate division and conflict whenever and wherever possible – and to keep it going – such as a forest fire of destruction. Whatever can promote China to a higher rung one or many at a time is in China’s best interest and thus warfare or conflict further helps them in the game of ‘Go!’

The US and other nations who seek to disarm – dismantle freedom – stable governments – financially ruin ones economy – are playing not to win but for China to win. Treaties or agreements between nations are treated like the 19^th Century treaties the US made with the Native Americans – not worth the paper they’re printed on then or now. Thus when the GOP breaks their contract with America – China laughs and turns over more pieces on the board. When the current administration pushes the US further into debt, China turns over more pieces. When Iran offers to make a deal – China turns over more pieces on the board when the US and others believe it’s an honest offer.

One must always remember – who has the most to gain and the least to lose. This is the premise behind all acts of disruption – warfare – and criminal activity. In the US at the current time – the American People have the most to lose – their freedoms and the Constitution – which is a reflection (or was) of Gods Law. Who has the most to gain – those who would destroy personal freedoms anyway that they can – thus they’ve also the least to lose because they too enjoy all of the freedoms provided under the Constitution. They also know with the media on their side most likely they’ll lose little because they had nothing to start with.

Think of it this way – when a hardened criminal goes to prison – what have this lost? Very little as they never consider freedom as something they’ve ever had or enjoyed. Someone who’s a hardened criminal has been hiding and thus does not have the freedom of open movement – while in the prison system they enjoy free meals, room and board, the company of those intimidated by their reputations – remembering there’s a class society within the prison itself and the more hardened the higher class to which they belong. Thus when they commit a crime (as long as it is not rape, child abuse or something which could bring the death sentence) they much to gain if not caught – and little to lose if they are caught. With the current legal system they actually have a good chance of never going to prison or if they do for a limited time.

The politically correctness of our current society is a great incentive for the current administration to expand their powers and dominion – having the media given them positive press for the more politically correct they are found to be – i.e. kids in school being sent home for praying, pointing a finger, wearing a tee shirt deemed offensive, or otherwise thinking aloud; while those who use four letter foul language – threaten kids for their lunch money – dress with their pants around their thighs – are consider models of being politically correct. This is part and parcel of the intimidation used by those who seek to become a totalitarian dictatorship oligarchy (TDO) within the US – and thus they need only enough military to support their causes.

The current administration could care less about the military – and keep them in contact with the enemy outside the US to continue the destruction of those loyal to the Constitution. Where they are set up for ambushes by the administration and left to fend for themselves when all or most are killed. The media whose liberal agenda hate the military – hate conservatives – hate the Constitution – while not understanding the first to go in a TDO is the free press! Too late seduced many who’ve now sold their souls – find they’ve only marked themselves for death or worse.

Hopefully this addresses your concerns – we’ve to remember this has been the game since the murder of Able (within our human generation on this planet) – the actual warfare started in the Spirit World – and will continue until the Second Coming. And as in most warfare the further into the battle the worse things will become. What differences do we see between the last of those Ether wrote about and today? Almost none – little children – women and everyone in some nations of the world are involved in the combat – carrying weapons of all kinds – with no regard for human life. Within the home there is no longer a solid foundation as the purpose of marriage eternally is lost among all of the religions of the world except one. The eternal family is not taught as a reality except by one religion. The Bible and other Scriptures are not believed literally except by one religion.

Should it come to pass that those seeking a TDO become successful – they will then try to go worldwide and China will pounce – turning over the last token on the board. There’s no such thing as a defensive war which can be won. Thus while China and others claim their military buildups are needful to protect their homelands – in reality they are set up for offensive warfare to increase their power and dominion over others. We must never forget the military and finances are married one to the other – and the result of the marriage is power – and the goal is absolute power.

Finally – one must remember – those who’ve sold their vote to such as our current administration are also paying for their own subjection to not only TDO – but to the dole – which is worse than any addiction known in the history of mankind.

“What is Going On?”

“What is Going On?”

cji

3/25/16

Over the past two plus days I’ve been pondering how to address what happened on Tuesday in Utah. This has been very troubling to me in that in many who know me – I’m the only Mormon that they know. Several have asked questions about the apparent fraud which took place. Much of it is on the news and in the media but it’s much more than even this. First it was reported record crowds showed up in Utah to vote – yet there were only 175,000 votes cast on the GOP side. In 2012 there were over 237,000 votes cast (in a no contest primary). Indeed in Utah there are over 1.2 million registered voters who usually vote. This alone is a cause for concern in that record crowds would mean a considerable amount of votes were never counted or lost.

But there’s a bigger problem in that several prominent members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints used their recognition to actively campaign against one of the candidates with material which was less than credible. Indeed they implied they were representing the Church – which they were not and cannot! However, to the rest of the world and especially the disaffected anti-Mormon crowds have found great fertilizer in what they did and the shame of the Utah Primary.

First, a couple of notes: 1) approximately 50% of Utah’s population is Mormon; 2) of this % about 40+% are inactive; 3) the membership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is higher outside the US than in the US; 4) with over 14 million members world-wide the Church is not a cult; and 5) what the Church does for those within the US and outside represent much better the view of the Church.

Personally I cannot understand the reasons of why two normally sane people would say and do what they did! I know that it is not the way I think – and it is not the way many of the membership of the Church who I know think. So there’s something deeper and more sick going on. The elite of the GOP/DEM (one must remember they are both funded by the same people) want the status quo – i.e. we are allowed to believe we’re free and have rights – we wake up in the morning – go to work – pay our bills – but they control our laws and therefore are our prison keepers. We can go to the malls – drink – or do anything we want to do – but they’ll think and act for us in all things they can get control of from us. This includes the election process. This has been going on since Adams/Jefferson – got really bad under A. Jackson and then came to full frustration with the advent of the Federal Reserve System – followed by the direct election of Senators – into a full scale oligarchy. Reagan upset their unrestricted control and he was forced to take Bush as his VP or the elite would’ve destroyed him.

Throw in the msm who hates anyone and everyone except those who own them (part of the elite) and you’ve the perfect watchdog to contain any and all who confront the elitist in our nation. Of course the msm forgets the first to go will be them and free speech (which they surrendered long ago). 

Thus, please understand what is going on is the destruction of the US Constitution and the rights guaranteed by it to the people, the states and fully corrupted to the federal government and their masters. Teddy Roosevelt started this in the early 1900’s by changing the concept of the Constitution which was understood by one and all of the Founding Fathers to be that the powers not delegated specifically to the Federal Government belonged to the States. He reversed and said any powers not delegated directly to the states in the Constitution were the responsibility of the Federal Government.

How do you explain this to a non-Mormon – simple – to me at least – when my wife and I joined the Church it was because the Church was true – meeting every aspect of the Holy Bible – and not because of the people or membership. Some of the people are very good people as there are many very good people throughout the world – and some are not! Not everyone is a Mother Teresa and not everyone is a criminal – and most are somewhere in-between.

I’ll end this here and am willing to discuss further if there are questions. Clear, common-sense – means we try to understand – but do not judge the actions of others (in final judgement) but we do remember in our intermediate judgement we must look for truth and not just opinion of the mob. c/ork

“Somewhere In-between”

3/25/16

Most of us maybe almost all

are neither perfect or even close

we try to do our best always

(and as Winston Churchill said;

“Sometimes our best isn’t good

enough, we just have to do

what gets the job done!”)

and as such we do must do this

get the job done properly

attacking the enemy and sin

embracing the good and truth

somewhere in between extremes

each of us are found this day

hoping closer to Mother Teresa

thus being closer to the Savior!

"Denial and Reclusion" (a short essay)

“Denial and Reclusion” cji 2/20/16

In a world living in denial and reclusion men/women have chosen conflict, confusion, contention as their road to traverse this mortality. Making everything difficult, almost impossible, valueless, committing to the worldly way of justification. Never at any other time has it become more apparent the number of those who can see being blind, those who can hear being deaf, those who can feel being cold and non-responsive to the truths of why we’re here, where we came from and where we’ve the potential to go. Replacing self-responsibility and accountability is the socialistic plan of Satan and his minions – called welfare, entitlement, excuse for obedience – and the denial of absolute truths. Men/women who rather join their peers – follow the crowds – avoid being different – thus becoming reclusive to their true nature as children of the one and living God and his only begotten Son. Having ignored the basics – embracing to be put under dominion of another either government or in slavery to the masters of their fates.

We need to get back to the basics. Back to the basics would mean to simplify truth. To simplify truth one must know what is true and what is not. One must take the Scriptures (all of them) literally! Doing away with the interpretations/translations and misrepresentations of men/women. Sadly the men/women of this world are in denial and reclusion when it comes to truth. Therefore it comes to the issue of the basics. Common sense - reason - and what's been repeated over the centuries - 'if it doesn’t make sense it most likely isn't true' and that when confusion/contention come into play it is not of the Lord!  

When one reads Isaiah (a commandment from the Savior for all men/women to understand) - the message is pretty clear - so very few will and even fewer who do read will never understand. Isaiah speaks on two themes: 1) the Mortal and Millennial Lord; and 2) the Covenant people (men/women of this world). The presentation on the mortal and millennial Lord are clear and concise leaving no grounds for misunderstanding what is being said. Now to deal with the Covenant people - you and I - everyone born into this mortality. Understand this is very concise: 1) Isaiah gives a diagnosis of what is going on: 2) he then gives a prescription of how to correct the problem/illness/what is wrong; 3) then he presents the prognosis - what is going to happen if one obeys the prescription or if one ignores part or completely the prescription. The choice is always ours to be obedient and willing or to follow men/women instead.

The world is corrupt - very much so - outside of the educated probably 90%+ haven't a clue what's outside their villages. So what the top .05% or less do (those who supposedly lead) matters less to them - and as a result power corrupts and thus they thirst at any cost for more power. Satan sub-contracts (i.e. 'let me play the devil's advocate') has so many helpers they even appear idle (but they are never allowed to be idle). Satan is a very demanding task master - so those who have it easy feel he's resting when in fact he's already got them where he wants them. Those who on the other hand are in the Refiner's Fire daily understand the meaning of 'enduring to the end' and therefore make applicable that what the Lord wants and not men/women. I'm pretty forward - something is either right or wrong - there is no gray - not any - for gray is just a part of black/darkness/illusion/illusive/opaque/non-transparent and therefore cannot be clear/white/transparent or make common sense.

A simple common sense type test:

1. God is not a God of confusion - so would there be one church or many?

2. God is unchanging - so what would he teach if he were here?

3. God is eternal and we're made in his image - what might we become if we become like him?

4. God has no contention - therefore what in the world of contention is from God?

5. God is a God of miracles/revelations - then why do men/women teach these have ceased?

6. God has always and always will work through Prophets he's called - not who've called themselves - has this changed - making him a changeable God?

7. When men/women repetitively repeat the "Lord's Prayer" what do they ask for? 'Thy Kingdom Come...' if this is the case we've been told in the Scriptures the Kingdom will be established prior to his coming so he has a kingdom to come to ... where is that kingdom?

8. How would this kingdom be organized?

9. Is there such a kingdom now on earth organized the way the Church was organized during the meridian of time? If yes - where? If not - why not?

10. If God is perfect - and men/women are not - why do men/women follow other men/women and not God?

Each of these questions has a definitive answer - if you understand the Scriptures literally - having read them yourself - and pray to understand them - and do what they say to do - however, most pay someone else to interpret them for them - pay them to practice 'pure religion' - to act in behalf of them (governments - clergy - Inman - clerics - rabbis - priests - college professors - and the list is endless who men/women follow and pay well in most cases). Thus we learn men/women put their trust/faith/love in the worldly rather than in their God. This leads to sub-contracting - which leads to larger organizations - which leads to government - who then feel empowered to practice 'Pure Religion' making the people pay for it indirectly skimming off the top more and more for their own uses and it is not for the general welfare of neither nations, people or the world.

God has been replaced by organizations - not created or authorized by him - but self-assumed by men/women. This was done not by 'delegation of authority' but assumption of authority by those unauthorized to do so and it's been going on for several thousand years. People don't want a Prophet (unless he's a dead one) to lead them - therefore they reject those called by authority from God - to establish his kingdom on this earth. He inspired the Constitution so there could be freedom in the land for his kingdom to be restored in these latter-days - and it has whether men/women choose to believe it or not. All of the time one can hear about the 2nd Coming - and this can only occur after his Church (Kingdom) has been restored first. Let's understand - the Lord knows what has taken place - he sees how men have rejected him as they did throughout history - but he also knows that the few who've believed them can receive all of the saving ordinances covenanted with his Prophets in the past and those on the earth today. Men/women have their agency to choose the right or wrong - but once choosing the wrong they've to repent - come back into full obedience with the Commandments and the Covenants they made in the pre-existence with the Father and the Son prior to coming to this earth. Now we’ve a world choosing denial and reclusion – rather than truth and covenants based on obedience.

Read Isaiah – ponder and study – read the Bible – the Book of Mormon – why because they testify of Jesus Christ – of Heavenly Father – of the Holy Ghost – three separate and distinct individuals. Indeed they make two witnesses – (TWO) – and the only reason most read neither is because men/women disciples of the adversary tell them not to – and that they’ll teach them, provide for them, rule over them, make their decisions for them which is where the world is headed – and will be completed upon the destruction of the Constitution of the US. Let’s understand – as long as there’s righteous men/women – obedient to the Commandments and Covenants – the Constitution will stand. Nothing is easy – trials and tribulations will be numerous – enduring to the end is essential – and most will not endure but will submit, surrender, give up – but still a few will endure to the end.

Answer Guide:

1. God is not a God of confusion - so would there be one church or many? One

2. God is unchanging - so what would he teach if he were here? the Scriptures and the Prophets

3. God is eternal and we're made in his image - what might we become if we become like him? Eternal

4. God has no contention - therefore what in the world of contention is from God? Nothing

5. God is a God of miracles/revelations - then why do men/women teach these have ceased? only because men/women have told the world so - (Miracles and Revelations are continuing always)

6. God has always and always will work through Prophets he's called - not who've called themselves - has this changed - making him a changeable God? He is not a changeable God and His Prophets are still alive and well today.

7. When men/women repetitively repeat the "Lord's Prayer" what do they ask for? 'Thy Kingdom Come...' if this is the case we've been told in the Scriptures the Kingdom will be established prior to his coming so he has a kingdom to come to ... where is that kingdom? The Kingdom is on this earth today - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - with a Prophet and Apostles

8. How would this kingdom be organized? The same as when the Church was organized during the Ministry of the Mortal Messiah.

9. Is there such a kingdom now on earth organized the way the Church was organized during the meridian of time? If yes - where? (See 7 above); If not - why not? - Because men/women say it is not

10. If God is perfect - and men/women are not - why do men/women follow other men/women and not God? Because they follow the plan of the adversary men/women running governments and using socialism/dictatorships/demi-gods/kings/queens exercising unrighteous dominion (or what we've got today in the world)

“Denial and Reclusion”

2/20/16

Living a fake life of meaning

pretending to be in love

loving the Father and Son

without the Commandments

then praying for peace

leaving behind the reality

embracing entitlements

including as they wish

welfare, salvation, heaven

believe one goes either

to heaven or to hell

forgetting Paul’s teachings

ignoring what they read

in denial of the basic truth

in reclusion from the right

a fake life of meaning living!
