I left the Church when I was 16 & the Lord brought me back 20 years later. We need to be careful with our Patriarchal Blessings & they are sacred but we can have blessings taken away when we are not obedient. I’ve had blessings taken away & some blessings don’t come until the next life. I was surprised what the Patriarch said about me & I never meet him before. How did he know those things about me? Did he ask others or followed me around? I was surprised & somethings did come true. However when I was disobedient the Lord took my Patriarchal Blessing away just like when the Liahona stopped working for Lehi. I wanted answers now to see if I should merry this girl & I was going to share it with her but when I went to my desk it was gone. It was supposed to be in this pile of papers & I searched that pile three times. I even shook every paper & made sure it wasn’t stuck to another paper. I was dumbfounded & knew it was supposed to be there. A thought came to mind that I needed to pray. I prayed asking for forgiveness because I was upset at the time. I went back to look one more time & when I took off the first piece of paper there was the envelope my Patriarchal Blessing was in but I didn’t share it with her because she was stirring me away from the Lord. The only reason I stay in the Church is because it helps me with my mental illness. Dr’s could not figure me out an I was diagnosed with severe depression & violent behavior. I gave Church another chance after the Lord came into my life. He told me to get off meds & to stop seeing therapists because He will help me. He did help me & I found out I was Spiritually sick. Church isn’t easy & I’ve got into it with Church leaders before because I know what’s best for me & I only follow the Lord. I hate to say this but the Church is being destroyed from the inside out from hearts being turning away from the Lord. Why are all the Temples being built? A lot of members are leaving the Church & they want a lot of Temple work done before people stop flocking to the Temple, also before the second coming. One reason I left the Church was because of members & when I came back I was deceived by Bishops. Also I had a Bishop get up after I gave a talk & told everyone I was wrong but I proved him wrong & I don’t think he liked it. Now we are being told by President Nelson to give priesthood blessings when we are sick. I told the Bishop the Lord wanted me off meds & he told me to listen to the Dr. The Dr. didn’t believe me either but with the Lord helped me get off & I proved them wrong. I thought about leaving again after that until I was on my way to Prison in 2012. I made a promise to the Lord if He saves me I will always follow Him. After I prayed I knew what the Judge would say to me but I thought that was wishful thinking. Sure enough the Judge could not get himself to send me & he didn’t know why lowering his head. There was alot of witnesses who knew it was the Lord saving me. I always tell others to put your trust in the Lord & not man. I was deceived by President Nelson when he took the jab. I prayed about it & it didn’t feel right to me but I did it anyway or I couldn’t go to a family reunion. After the jab I never felt the same & I should have listened to the Lord. I don’t listen to any Church leaders unless the Lord manifests to me that it’s coming from Him. The other day I was asked to see the Bishop & I laughed in his face. Before I ever get a calling or asked to give a talk the Lord lets me know before I’m even asked but I told him the Lord mostly would tell me first but we had a good talk. The Lord wanted me to see him because of some family matters I was dealing with. I’m still new to the temple & I stopped going just before the first adjustments. I always hated the sessions because I didn’t understand but I was always blessed when I go & my Uncle came to thank me for doing his Temple work after he passed away in 2013. I stopped going to the Temple because something bothered me. Why was the Lord alowing this in His house? Do I go talk to the Bishop or Stake President? No because I don’t trust them & I prayed about it. A couple of weeks later I heard about the new adjustments & went back. Those things that where bothering me where removed & I can’t remember what bothered me but the Lord was preparing me for the adjustments. I know it’s the Lord’s Church & I go because of Him & not because of others. I’m so blessed when I go & it’s my protection from the adversary & I don’t want to end up in the mental hospitals again. “The Lord is my Therapist & His Gospel are my meds”. I’m proud of others who know what’s best for them if it be right or wrong because we have free agency but we should always follow the Lord if we know Him. He won’t lead us astray but man will. I don’t know why I’m sharing this but I know the Lord Loves You. I just had a tender mercy the other day when my heart aches for America. I was texting my neighbor about it & he was fired up. The next door neighbor kids seen me outside & they came over to share a new song with me. I played it on my phone while all three of them 2, 5 & 7 sang along. It brought tears of joy & I sent that song to my friend who I was texting, The Liahona song. I was going to ask the little ones if they heard about Patriarchal Blessings & tell them it’s like the Liahona but they had to go in to take naps. Always do what’s best for you.
I will go to hell and back for my kids. I hate.....hate the way churches discrimination against gay's. We are all Gods children no matter what you are. He made all of as perfectly the way we are.
IF YOU KNOW GOD AND UNDERSTAND HIS WAYS…MOST LIKELY YOU ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT HEAVEN AND HELL GO TOGETHER HAND AND HAND…YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ONE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER.
This planet is hell, the telestial kingdom, the world in which we now live. So says the endowment and Section 76. Want to know what it is like? Look around you? I don't know why this is so controversial. Joseph Smith said he would follow Emma to hell, and the way most Mormons are living, it looks like hell is going to be their natural home, unless they repent.
He knows he has a daughter, but he’s never met her. I don’t know if his wife or daughters know. The thing that blows my mind is that he was an absolute DOG in high school. For real. I mean…at the hospital where they went for the pregnancy test, he took her into the bathroom for one more time before the parents finally got involved & knew the truth…this guy needs therapy for all the problematic behavior of his teenage years & I have to wonder if he is an extremely protective dad because of all the sh** he did in high school
Military brat here. My dad was a Navy Chaplain. We were stationed overseas & my sister ended up getting pregnant by a Mormon boy in our department of defense high school. Hormones are hormones in any religion. I just thought it was so crazy that his “punishment” was a talk with the bishop. Then his dad got transferred & he went on to serve the mission, marry a Mormon & is raising his daughters as Mormons….He has a daughter he’s never met.
It’s quit obvious that you don’t believe he is a prophet so take your disrespectful attitude somewhere else like say the Catholics. LDS policy doesn’t have to go through you nor do you even have a clue. Oh and whose your prop there saying nothing. You probably won’t let him talk. Maybe he wouldn’t speak bad language like you.
Actually they do, but they excommunicate the advocate for change first. Examples include, Sam Young (thanks to him youth aren’t alone in interviews with leadership.) Kate Kelly (thanks to her, women have a few more roles in previously “make only” responsibilities and they got rid of priesthood only GC sessions.
I taught Gospel Doctrine for 2 years. My class was always full. I taught early morning seminary for 3 years, I am still close with many of my students. I’ve been a YW President, Primary President and Bishops wife. The term “if” was kind. Nelson IS a liar.
