I agree with most people's concern that without the approval of the first presidency this nation would have a very difficult time gaining acceptance. I hope the Standing Chairman will join us here, I haven't heard back from him.

I love the comments that have been made about the priesthood.

I do disagree that the church will be the governing body during the millenium. I'm not saying that the Nation of Deseret will be, I'm just saying that it doesn't seem to be an appropriate form of government. How will those who are not of our faith have representation in the church? There must be a way for them to participate in the governmental process.

I don't believe that when the Saviour returns there will be a big poof and everyone will be converted. There will still be other faiths. There will still be other nations. The church is equipped for a welfare role but it is not equipped for a legislative role, in relation to those who are not members of our faith.

I'll ask the SC if anymore efforts have been made in contacting the Church.

P.S. I just recieved the Nation of Deseret flag mug I ordered from cafepress. It's AWESOME!
