Funny thing about a sailboat, it can be rigged with a motor and with a sail simultaneously.  In this fashion the captain of the ship has two options.  A) decide personally where he wants the boat to go and fire up that engine to go straight there as quickly as those horses can roam, or [...]

My next four short posts will be on the topics of Idolatry that we are ‘immersed’ in today as illustrated by this statement from Brigham; “When God spoke from heaven to Joseph Smith, the people were bound down by priestcraft, doctorcraft, kingcraft and lawyercraft, the four grand crafts that uphold Satan’s kingdom.” (Brigham Young, Des. [...]

Our perception and lifestyle do not match what the prophets had in mind; “Brother Joseph Smith gave us the word of the Lord; it was simply this: `Never do another day’s work to build up a Gentile city never lay out another dollar while you live, to advance the world in its present state; it [...]

So, after about 2 weeks of technical troubles I seem to have control of the site again, other then the spam or hackers.  Sorry about the lack of content, replies, etc… one question that has been asked is whether or not we can use upper case in this theme.  The answer is no.  I keep [...]

Herse a link to a paper written by a like minded Zionist about the end of the LDS, the gentile times and awakening.  anyway, thought I’d help spread the word for this paper.  Never can have enough resources! http://www.lds-awakening.info/Repent/Introduction.html

This can be brief.  I have found value in Sunday School, as it gives a sort of rigid structure to my studies that I don’t generally have.  Perhaps that isn’t good, but whatever.  IT gives me something to look at for an hour or so before Sunday anyway! This last week we covered 1 Samuel [...]

I’ve been thinking of doing this post for some time, and have indeed written several thoughts on it in the past.  Its rather imperative that we come up with a concrete definition, being that we throw the idea around quite a bit.   We could go about it several ways, like just copy pasting the words [...]

I was preparing a rather lengthy diatribe on this matter, but have since decided against it.  Beginning to feel this as a very personal area of thought.  In other words, though there are TONS of scriptures on the matter, that of clothing, it seems really to be quite simple of an idea, one worth pondering.  [...]

The first portion of the promise in the word of Wisdom read like this; You “shall receive bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones” The very first blessing is the most obvious, health.  Your body, your insides, your stomach and digestive parts, etc. will receive health from this lifestyle, as opposed to colon [...]

So I thought that perhaps I could discuss a few of the interesting portions (I know, entirely subjective) of the Word of Wisdom, and how they apply to us today who are seeking to come out from Babylon and establish Zion.   I have decided to just go with the present D&C version, as the only [...]

This will likely be a heartfelt rather mushy message. If you are the squeamish type, be forewarned. I’ve not planned this ahead of time, it just feels right. It is late, again. Sitting in front of a computer screen studying, again. Hating everything that is Babylon, again. Oh what a rut. Bemoaning however briefly (very [...]

———————————————————– I thought I would ponder for a minute that incredible moment in Nephis life when he broke one of Moses Commandments. Our story begins with Nephi “creeping” into the city Jerusalem, not knowing before hand what he should do.  He does so following the spirit.  Like the perfect Tom-Tom that spirit takes him exactly [...]

This being a time of year when Babylon cries from the dust with celebrations like Ishtar, I find it very relevent to discuss a holy-day which the Lord set apart.  The observance of which has much to do with coming out of Babylon, waiting on the Lord and bringing Zion.    Enjoy and God Speed Guest [...]

I’ve recently had an interesting experience that I think engrained something into my head I thought I already knew.  Be careful.  Be careful what you hear, be careful what you feel, etc… In the paradoxical story of Adam and Eve Satan appears to Eve and presents himself essentially as God, and as Christ.  HE offers [...]

There’s a husky at the end of my road who has done exactly what his owner wanted him too, lived a long while, never wandered off, and was not an imposition.  To keep him cool during the day and safe from pests his owner shaves his beautiful coat, leaving him naked.   Since the owner [...]

“If you meet the Buddha, kill him.” — Linji This may sound a bit frank for you, but a great and real principle it is.  A doctrine of the Tao to go with this is ““The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.”  Or perhaps, In the Kalama Sutta Buddha says, “Do [...]

The doctrine of and reliance on men will never provide true spiritual nourishment and rest.  Our symbolic last supper served by boys today provides a stark example of the vain striving to eat and drink we see in the church and world around us.  The Last Supper performed by the savior Anciently too provides a [...]

Everyone, take 3 minutes and watch this video. http://www.raisingsmallsouls.com/wp-content/themes/animal_school.swf And remember that the key as always is in application.  This is  mainly about wordly education but the application jump is easy to the Gospel, Church, etc… We are all children of God afterall.  I was going to embed it, but that costs $49!!! for such [...]

The following is a little piece of a chapter out of Gileadis last days types and shadows discussing the nature of these terms in Nephis writings…I consider the Book required reading, however here is another a link to chapter 2 in its entirety. The Terms Great, Marvelous, and Work In the end, Nephi’s description of [...]
