Maybe they can be roomies at the Federal Country Club.

Seems to be a pattern.

How much do those rungs on the “Ladder” cost, anyhow?

Convicted already? For what?

Oh, Golly Gee. Let me see, how many money-grubbing people are there who claim to be “ministers” in the protester faiths? Ever seen the TV scam TBN?

Right, you don’t claim them, do you?

“YOUR church leaders claim contact with GOD before making CALLINGS FROM GOD for everything including ward janitor.”


Did Christ ‘call’ Judas?

Ex-Mormon bishop . . .

This is news.

I didn't know the ex-Mormons had bishops.

Everyone needs at least one Bishop along with a few pawns.
Now it is kind of confusing was he an ex-bishop or an ex-mormon. Or was he really an ex-mormon-bishop.

This is one more thing that shows that no one’s actions hurt or help just themselves. No one is exempt from the devil’s tangled web.

As you go through life you have spiritual ups and downs, Satan gets no enjoyment from entangling a man while he is down, in fact that is when men are least likely to be tempted. So the fact that this man used to be a bishop means he was constantly being tempted by Satan and somewhere during that time allowed his material goods to come between him and his relationship with God. The rest is history.

Thank heaven he wasn’t another religion, we would never have known if he even had a religious affiliation, much less what it was. Since say he was an Ex Mormon Bishop Republican, he must have been a Democrat.

This surprises me since I’ve always thought Mormons were pretty honest.

"I met with a pair of LDS missionaries yesterday for an hour of conversation.
I was very impressed. Good kids. Great attitude. Convicted. Intelligent.
They are going to visit again in 2 weeks.
Bless them for putting up with my endless queries."

LOL!

The "queries" are indeed endless. It's Joe's fault; bottom line.

Hey, here's a lot of good questions to ask. :)

>>>But this story does prove that the Stake President who appointed him DID NOT receive a "Revelation from God" before he did so.

Following that logic... would also "prove" that when Jesus chose that one Apostle who sold him for 30 pieces... oh wait never mind, lets not follow your faulty logic.
