GC Repetition...

[_Drifting]

Consig, you are welcome to move on and learn more any time you'd like. Mormonism is simply designed to get you to actually speak with God and learn directly from him. Unless and until you are willing to make that step and truly do as the Lord commands in all things and follow the gospel - you will stay in diapers so to speak.

No. Mormonism is designed as the only Church that can 'save' everyone from an eternal fate of not residing in the Celestial Kingdom.

[_consiglieri]

Little wonder Hugh Nibley said the one trait all Mormons share is an almost infinite capacity for boredom.

Repetition?
OK, then I repeat two of my comments about repetitions...

About two identical article:

...
From the Ensign:

- Ensign » 2001 » October / First Presidency Message - Hallmarks of a Happy Home
By President Thomas S. Monson First Counselor in the First Presidency
and
- Ensign » 1988 » November - Hallmarks of a Happy Home (Conference!)
President Thomas S. Monson Second Counselor in the First Presidency
The two article are word by word identical.

- Ensign » 2006 » August / First Presidency Message - Led by Spiritual Pioneers
President Thomas S. Monson First Counselor in the First Presidency
and
- Ensign » 1997 » May - They Showed the Way (Conference!)
President Thomas S. Monson First Counselor in the First Presidency
There are two little difference:
1. The first two paragraph
(2006) This summer we mark 159 years since the pioneers, under the inspired leadership of Brigham Young, entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake and proclaimed: “This is the right place. Drive on.”
Often we honor the great leaders and followers on this historic journey, but I wish to call attention to other “pioneers” who preceded that trek.
(1997) This year, 1997, commemorates the 150th anniversary since the pioneers, under the inspired leadership of Brigham Young, entered the valley of the Great Salt Lake and proclaimed: “This is the right place. Drive on.” Much will be said at this conference concerning that epochal event, and thanks will be given to God for His watchful care and guidance.
On this beautiful Sabbath morning I wish to make a few remarks concerning “other pioneers” who preceded that trek.
2. The title ...

The target audience don't watch / don't read.
If they read, don't understand.
If they understand, don't remember.

About one sentence repeated at least ten times:

...

Remember that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.

Eternal truths may be repeated from one eternity to another.

Recycling, with the little help of text editors.

Why not?
The target audience don't watch / don't read.
If they read, don't understand.
If they understand, don't remember.

[_PrickKicker]

no problem at all - except for the obvious myopia by prickkicker.
Who says the HG was not involved in the preparation for the talks and for the prayers offered?
The idea that each talk is to be inspired in the moment is rather out of step with church practices. Sacrament talks are quite often prepared, accompanied by notes, etc...

So, whatever prickkicker is trying to insinuate is way off the mark, because he conveys inadequate understanding of the principle involved.

It is as if he expects there to be a hat full of topics and only after an inspired seat number is called out and that person approaches the podium are they allowed to retrieve their topic...sure that would be entertaining, but if its a light show and spirit band you are after then go to a baptist church.

as for magic, that wholly depends on him and quite obviously that "magic" has long since withdrawn.

Is my question incomprehensible?
I read it over and as far as I can see it is a direct question in plain text so the insinuation is not hidden...

My follow up question already preempts your lame excuse, in the form of a rhetorical question.

I see you need the question repeated, but in even plainer and more direct speech, which I predict you will ignore as you always do (an observed modus operandi) when you're asked a direct question, with which you rebuffed... I also preempt your favoured acronym, 'CFR' and refer you to all of your old posts, and call everyone who has ever asked you a direct question as my witnesses.

I will Reword and clarify my concerns that provoke my questions for those with difficulty reading plain English.

Since when was reading, the prewritten, same old stories, over and over, inspiration, seership, revelation, and, prophecy, from, or through, the Holy Ghoul?

And Do they not have faith, that the Lord God will inspire them at the time of the address, through his messenger the Holy Ghost right there and then or must it be prewritten and analysed through proofreaders and legal teams first?

What's the problem? He thinks there should be magic involved? Heh.

Why is it so hard for believers to admit that magic is the core of their entire paradigm...
