I was realy touched by what prophet monson said.... he was the only one I used to listen to when I was small....I'd fall asleep for the other ones...but I never missed a singel speach of monson in my life:)

[@minehelen2]

A perfect commentary on the church...by those who are qualified to comment! Loved it!

[@go4it2108]

All should listen to and consider these messages, and if agreeable, then acting as these inspired men have suggested. Messages like these have been consistent over the 50+ years I have been listening to these men and others in the same position. It has been my experience that hearing and following such counsel has consistently yielded happiness and improved my life and that of my family.

[@sw6349]

This is a wonderful video briefly showing the positive messages preached by leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). We need much more of this kind of thing to combat the many lies and prevailing ignorance about this church's teachings and behavior.

[@panwasmom]

Thanks for this video. These are truly men of God.

[@Chevrobert]

I love your video's this is one of the best videos I have ever seen that shows the truth of the LDS church and what we really teach. Great work and many blessings to you and all who watch this video.Amen

It is 6:40 a.m. on a recent Tuesday, the second day of the second week of seminary, a program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"By being obedient I mean that we should cultivate a desire to be good, to be clean, be reverent, be kind, be consistent and be diligent," Elder Clayton said. "We control what we watch and the things to which we listen. We don't press our luck by taking risks physically or spiritually. We build controls and precautions into our lives. We are faithful. We manifest to the Savior that we are willing to take upon us His name

[@lkmsax]

Yes, thank you for your concern. I believe that it is a continual process, as well as an event (such as baptism). It means to me that through the Atonement, I have been able to repent and have the Spirit of the Lord with me. If I die tonight...well there are some other issues there but I have hope that after judgment I will. These are my answers. Thank you, He does.

[@omiolo]

As I listened to their answers, I discovered a consistent theme that I would summarize as follows: I have come to understand better the protection available through our temple covenants and what it means to make an acceptable offering of temple worship. There is a difference between church-attending, tithe-paying members who occasionally rush into the temple to go through a session and those members who faithfully and consistently worship in the temple.

The same qualities that make Brother Stacey so successful professionally also helped him effectively serve as a bishop for six and a half years in the Fort Collins Colorado Stake, where Russ McClure is stake president.

[@motomibo]

Excellent questions. I believe they are true prophets because following their words has brought me closer to Heavenly Father, just as the words of Moses, Isaiah, Matthew, John, and Paul have done. The Spirit of the Lord, or Holy Ghost, is what confirms truth, so as we seek to know what is true, we have to do what brings the Spirit into our lives. Faith, obedience to God's will, and sincere prayer are ways to feel it. I know God answers prayers: He answered your same question for me. Ask Him!

Before daybreak, before this north Fulton County community is fully awake, 17 high school students gather to study the finer points of Scripture and thus build their faith. They sit barefoot in a circle of sofas and chairs in a spacious basement family room -- eager soldiers studying. Welcome to seminary everyone, says Brenda Yates, the woman of the house and class instructor, taking her seat.

Good video. Video's on Mormonism should focus on the Prophets and Apostles, as opposed to speculation and other such things. Thanks for posting!

What great people and wise counsel. Help share this video with everyone you know by emailing it, blogging it and putting it up on your own pages. Good work, LDS9999!

"When we were on our mission we were looking for those people who were interested in hearing the gospel," he said, noting that he was focused on his Church assignment. But, in so doing, his wife also taught him to look into the hearts of the people. On one occasion, President and Sister Schwitzer came upon an elderly Russian woman. She used two canes to walk. President Schwitzer looked into the woman's weather-beaten face, which had deep wrinkles, and walked on by.

"I was asked to serve as the secretary -- the arms and the legs as it were -- of three very busy members of the Quorum of the Twelve," Mortimer said. The Scriptures Publication Committee was led by Elder Thomas S. Monson, of the Quorum of the Twelve and committee chairman, and Elders Boyd K. Packer and Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve.

Starting with nothing, Robert began to create a new life for himself and his family. The first years were hard, but gradually things improved as he and his brother Archibald began to develop mills on Mill Creek and the Jordan River. A few years later he suffered a reversal of fortune. The water powering his mill was taken upstream, leaving his portion of the stream dry. An attempt to build a six-mile (10-km) canal to the mill failed.

Six of the Brethren released have been given other assignments throughout the world. Elder Douglas L. Callister and his wife, Sister Jeannette M. Callister, have been called as president and matron of the Bountiful Utah Temple.

mormonchick011: Wow!!! So unBiblical, so unChristian: Believe the Bible! Get the Holy Spirit sense of what John is saying in 1 John 5:12-13. I feel so sorry for Mormons believing all their lives that they cannot have the assurance of salvation issuing forth to the living with Father in His house eternally.

mormonchick011: Please, get the sense of what the Holy Spirit really is saying to you in 1 John 5:12-13. I feel so sorry for Mormon folk plodding through life ignorant of the reality that every true disciple of Christ can & should have the full assurance of living in the very presence of Heavenly Father forever.

[@StrengthenMarriage]

It's hard to imagine how anyone can't see and feel the difference between faithful members and leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and those who are antagonistic to us. Listen to your heart if you can and you'll know what's true.

[@Bibl3Thumper]

Faith in the Rock of Revelation? That seem to me like he is saying put faith in modern prophets? What about Jesus

[@Radioposting]

Blacks were denied the priesthood because they were not valiant in the per-existence (before they were born)... Err, I mean, forget we ever taught that... We were just kidding around for 100 years. We were also kidding that Adam is actually God... And that silly thing about the kinderhook plates, and money digging... Those are just rumors...

[@BigTallOx]

No, I see no paradox. The leaders are trying to portray the church as something it is not, ie that it's a Christian church. Just like how LDS say joseph smith was just a man in explaining away the completely different versions of the first vision. This leader is also just a man, and although his words sound kind and inviting, people looking into joining the church need to learn the real doctrine.

[@ChristopherMillsLDSAuthor]

Excellent! I love General Conference! Hearing the words of the Apostles always invites the Holy Spirit and makes me feel closer to Jesus Christ.

But Sister Schwitzer pulled on her husband's sleeve. She went back to the woman and said, "I just want you to know that God loves you."

[@omiolo]

This becomes even more important when you are surrounded daily with profanity, socially accepted immorality, immodesty, pornography, and other inappropriate material in the media, including television and the Internet, and widespread availability of drugs and alcohol. In a word, not a day goes by that we are not asked, in one form or another, "Who's on the Lord's side? Who?" I have two simple suggestions to help you prepare your answer to that question.

George shared three main points, beginning with the Catholic understanding of religious freedom, which he said is shared by Mormons and must be protected in order to maintain the public good. "It cannot be reduced to freedom of worship or even freedom of private conscience," George said. "It means that religious groups as individuals have a right to exercise their influence in the public square."

[@PierzStyx]

A "scarament" is a religious rite. Marriage is a religious ritual, not a civil one. Judges redefining marriage to include homosexuals, is judges using the law to interfere in religious beliefes, or a "sacrament". This is un-Constitutional and wrong. On the other hand President Monson is a religious leader, a Prophet. He has much more of a right to get into teh defense of a religious ritual form the force of politics than judge sdo to force change in it.

[@batterdown]

BigTallOx seems to indicate that different versions of JS's first vision negate and nullify it's validity, therefore making it and the church false. If so, then using his test, all the teachings of Christianity and the Christian church which are based on what Paul taught should also be negated and nullified since in the NT he (Paul) relates three different stories concerning his conversion. How does he handle that disparity? By their fruits...

[@jjohansen86]

I love the simple logic of a friend on this one. While Jesus is the Son of God in a narrower sense, He is also, of course, a Son of God in the broader sense, as the scriptures teach. Now in this broader sense we may say that angels, also, are children of God. Satan is a fallen angel, if you believe the testimony of Isaiah or John the Revelator. That Christ and Satan are brothers is not an important teaching, but a secondary conclusion, and a Biblical one. But Satan fell, Christ stayed with God.

[@ArcticWhiteZ]

Dude im not one to start arguments, but Paul also stated that one should also give reason for your why u beleive... Dude mormonism is not biblical Christianity as the early church was rooted in the old times! There are many things wrong with Mormonism, it is not preaching the same Jesus, and its doctrines are very different! If you dont believe me send me a message, and i will listen to your defense if u will only listen to me this is important! please respond!

[@GiftoAll]

Yes it does say to test anyone claiming to speak for God as a prophet. Joseph Smith failed on several occasions. The LDS gospel is not the same gospel of Christ. It is a works + worthiness = living with God instead of Gods Grace = salvation and to live with God. Members of the church praise Joseph Smith and his new gospel. The notion of Josephs new gospel must be repeated over and over again. example - I know the bofMormon is true..Is repetition brainwashing? YES!

As Sister Oaks spoke on each topic, the six panes of the window graphic revealed a portion of a painting. Put together, the image was of the Savior. Sister Oaks said if we remember these six precepts, we will gain a powerful testimony of God. "I love this church," she said. "And I love you. You are such brave souls."

"It's leaning that way, toward more like a hate crime, but we wouldn't know until we made suspect contact and interviewed them to determine exactly what their intent was," he said. The police investigation would be conducted in a similar way whether it was a hate crime or not, but if it is found to be a hate crime, a suspect could face enhanced charges, Smith said.

They were thrown sometime after the last checks by church members at about 10:30 p.m. The incidents were reported between 6 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Sunday, when members began arriving for early-morning church activities. The note may push the investigation into hate-crime territory, depending on whether the vandals intended to "intimidate or terrorize," Smith said.

[@lkmsax]

I think you should look into the LDS church a bit more. If you are referring to hell when you say tortured, you should know that in LDS doctrine, children are all saved and that the majority of people will be saved. They only go to "hell" if they make the wrong choices after knowing the right ones. Now doesn't that seem better?

President Stephen L Richards taught that a quorum is a class, a brotherhood, and a service unit: a class where a young man may be taught the gospel of Jesus Christ; a brotherhood where we can strengthen, build, lift, and friendship each other; and a service unit to give service to quorum members and others

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints encourages a charitable spirit and unity in remembrance of the attacks of Sept. 11. Bishop Ted Werner is extending an invitation to people of all faiths to join with his congregation in this commemoration to honor all those who died.

"Well really, I really wanted to help Haiti in some kind of way and I thought just making skirts would help," Sarah said. Gail Poyner, Sarah's grandmother, taught her how to sew the pillows when she got her machine and was thrilled when Sarah asked her to teach her how to sew skirts for girls in Haiti.

"The people of the Church sense all this and they want to be a part of it. They want to give," he added, noting that most of the money enabling members of the Church to better live the charge to "be one" comes from the wards and branches of the Church in small amounts.

The notes were printed on a single sheet of white paper, and the rocks were baseball-to-softball size. The double-paned, tempered glass was broken in only one of the churches. In the others, the rock broke through only the first pane of glass and landed outside the buildings.

In contrast, a wise friend wrote: Years ago, I changed my attitude about going to church. No longer do I go to church for my sake, but to think of others. I make a point of saying hello to people who sit alone, to welcome visitors, . . . to volunteer for an assignment. . .

Do you HONESTLY think that threats are going to make us suddenly change our beliefs? You know, I'm not from California, and I don't know how I would have voted on prop 8, but, more and more now that I see this sort of stuff, I think I would have voted for it in a hot minute.

"Everything points from the Old Testament to the New Testament," observed Russell T. Osguthorpe, who, with his two counselors in the Sunday School general presidency, discussed this year's course of study in a recent Church News interview.

Ummm, dude, not to be defensive, but the LDS church didn't come up with Prop 8, nor were they the only ones who supported it. If you're gonna bash on one group for Prop 8, do that group a favor and bash the other groups while you're at it. Be fair.

Cold storage is a high priority. In fact, Turley reports that the space used to house the refrigeration equipment is almost equivalent to the space used to store the actual records.

I think you'll find that most LDS are aware of the doctrine and history of the church. And many of us are aware of teachings given by leaders in the past, which are true, but are not officially part of the doctrine of the current church. Its all true and its all good. You can gain a testimony of the work. You should try it.
