Try not to take it so personally Leann. I don't think anyone is trying to attack you or make fun of you personally. Some were just trying to be funny. If they're attacking you then aren't you also attacking all of us by what you've posted, calling us school children and telling us to wake up or we will be damned? We could easily take it that way and be offended but we don't have to.

A Christian went to visit a prophet. While the prophet quietly served tea, (herbal tea), lol, Christian talked about truth. The prophet poured Christian’s cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. Christian watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. “It’s overfull! No more will go in!” Christian blurted. “You are like this cup,” Prophet replied. “How can I show you truth unless you first empty your cup?”

"We cannot learn anything if we already feel that we know."

"Preconceived ideas and prejudices always prevent us from seeing the truth."

"Sometimes we have to unlearn before you can learn."

"Even though we may be full of knowledge, we should always be open to the fact that there is still more to learn."

"Sometimes another person has to catch us with our guard down in order to teach us something."

If were too intellectualized about ANY subject, often we will miss the boat."

"I would tell this story to anyone who believed something about me that was untrue."

"Christian isn’t really looking for truth. His prejudices are preventing him from seeing clearly. This is what Prophet is trying to show him."

Note: This wonderful object lesion is not my original work and neither is it the original story. I adapted this story to bring my point home.

What a powerful story to teach us one thing. Humility is the empty cup all of us need to become teachable and pride is the cup that will forever keep us living in a box that we can never break out of even if we wanted to.

Thus sayath Leeann

P.S this will be my last post on this thread. I have said what I have said. It’s all there in pretty pink for you to read at anytime you wish to do so. My only regret is what this post could have been.

Love Leeann

Maybe it's just me, Leeann, but I'm really thinking "physician, heal thyself"...

But hey, I love you as much as any little school child who needs to grow up and wake up can love anyone.

Read the truth for yourself. I totally agree with Gwen, whenever you receive and email "Warning"- check it out at Snopes first.

It's quick, it's easy - it's the smart thing to do.

Elphaba- great to see you are feeling better and are back. Check out your personal emails, go back about two weeks okay
This is great..but gwen..truely real id act is a true thing. Just got homeland secruity website and read about it.. or turn on fox news when they are talking about...or have you ever heard of michael chertoff give the states a deadline on this.. I have. This is a very very serious thing happening in or goverment right now. obama does not support it. Huckabee did not support it..Mccain and Hillary support some forms of it. Everyone should educate themselves on where we are going on taking away our freedoms little by little.

Endtime.com is a great scource..but for the record I don't agree with all his teachings..but he keeps you current..or rapturealert.com are some places to check out that will give you up to the minuet of what is happening.

i find most of the emails sent to "warn" us are not entirely true. they get so blown out of porportion and sensationalized that it's not true anymore, reguardless of the roots. one thing i like about checking it out on those sites, they will tell you where it originated if it has any ligitamacy to it at all.

i recall someone else using half truths and twisting the truth to deceive ppl.

i'm not saying we shouldn't be informed or watch for the signs of the times, but i don't see a need to sensationalize and try to scare ppl. i just don't pass around email warnings without some research or proof. i trust the prophets to warn when it's vital.

When they want your .50 BMG . they'll know just where to find it (because the Real ID act says your home address _must_ be revealed). When they want your evil "scoped sniper rifle" (you know, the one you hunt deer with), they'll know just how to get it. Ditto with you "Saturday Night Special" or your "assault weapon."
I hope this would not include my BFG 10K, or stash of thermonuclear weaponry I use strictly for deer hunting purposes.


On a serious side, what about when folks in the south end of Salt Lake County start making and distributing ricin poison? That part has a much greater foundation in reality and is personally much more frightening.

I hope if you are listeing to guys that talk on these things that you also are glued to the tv in regards to israel as well.

I don't believe the Israel of today is the Biblical Israel. The Israel of today was founded by a decree of the United Nations, and therefore is not just. The United Nations has no right to create nations or destroy them by decree...

i'm not sure what your stance is exactly. I only brought up watch israel. Because in the last days she will be a cup of trembling as described in scripture and other prophesices will be unfolded in israel.

Section 666 of Title 42 (the Social Security Act) (42 USC Sec. 666)

The number of the Beast? aren't Americans required to have a SSN to effectively function in US Society? Interesting coincidence, (i'm not necessarily supportive of this idea, but it is very interesting).

Quote:
Section 666 of Title 42 (the Social Security Act) (42 USC Sec. 666) -- now requires every state, as a condition of Federal Revenue Sharing, to obtain "the number of your name" before you can receive any state services (e.g., a license to work, a license to drive, a license to marry).
IOW, we can not get a job, or open a bank account, or drive a car -- in short, we can not buy or sell unless we are marked by the beast and show the number of our name. Section 666 of the Social Security Law now requires all states to obtain the mark of our loyalty to the beast we worship -- all for the lofty purpose of locating "dead beat dads" who won't pay child support.
How subtil and crafty. Under the guise of caring for the "fatherless," the Gadianton gang now forces us all to be marked with the federal number of our name -- and show our mark of loyalty every time we seek state administered services. Section 666 of the "Work Oppotunity Law" requires it!
Section 666 sounds like something straight out of 3 Nephi 3, when Giddianhi, the commander and chief of the Gadianton robbers, sent Governor Lachoneus an Executive Order. This Executive Order was written as an invitation to participate in Federal Revenue Sharing -- or else. In truth, it was a surrender or die ultimatum to Governor Lachoneus from the Gadianton government. Yield up your cities, your lands and your possessions -- and become acquainted with our secret works, and become (political) partners in all our substance, not as slaves, but as our brethren.
Or else we will visit you with the sword. As you may recall, shortly before his voice of thunder went silent, the Lord's prophet, ETB, urged us to read 3 Nephi and liken it unto our day. In 3 Nephi 1 we learn that the Gadianton government set apart a day on which all those who believe in the coming of the Moshiach will be put to death unless a sign appears in heaven. By this time, the Gadianton robbers had taken over sole management of the government, with the help of wicked Nephites who had "dwindled in UN belief."
The Gadianton commander and chief then writes his surrender or die ultimatum to Governor Lachoneus, inviting him to submit to the new laws for Federal Revenue Sharing -- Section 666.
3 Nephi 3:6
6 Therefore I write unto you, desiring that ye would yield up unto this my people, your cities, your lands, and your possessions, rather than that they should visit you with the sword and that destruction should come upon you.
3 Nephi 3:7
7 Or in other words, yield yourselves up unto us, and unite with us and become acquainted with our secret works, and become our brethren that ye may be like unto us--not our slaves, but our brethren and partners of all our substance.
3 Nephi 3:8
8 And behold, I swear unto you, if ye will do this, with an oath, ye shall not be destroyed; but if ye will not do this, I swear unto you with an oath, that on the morrow month I will command that my armies shall come down against you, and they shall not stay their hand and shall spare not, but shall slay you, and shall let fall the sword upon you even until ye shall become extinct.
3 Nephi 3:9
9 And behold, I am Giddianhi; and I am the governor of this the secret society of Gadianton; which society and the works thereof I know to be good; and they are of ancient date and they have been handed down unto us.
3 Nephi 3:10
10 And I write this epistle unto you, Lachoneus, and I hope that ye will deliver up your lands and your possessions, without the shedding of blood, that this my people may recover their rights and government, who have dissented away from you because of your wickedness in retaining from them their rights of government, and except ye do this, I will avenge their wrongs. I am Giddianhi.
- - - - - - - - - -
How very much like the ultimatums of our day -- in the contest over state sovereignty. Have we all dwindled in UN belief, like the wicked Nephites

so we can share in the Gadianton spoils? How much longer will we worship the beast that has marked us all with the number of our name?
