STALKING AND TAKING A BATH

I wrote back the person that referred the previous info to me.  I have taken some heat on it.  The submitter also noted that the rest of what the material presenter had said was "off".  So, duly noted that she seemed to be a little off base.  However, this blog casts a broad net - and then your job (as the reader) is to have the Spirit put his stamp of approval on it, or not.  You are not forced to read the blog.  If you disagree with the content - yet keep coming back, you might find yourself a hobbyist schill..... 

Were it not for this broad net, I would not have almost any relevant data for the blog - because there is a famine in the land of prophetic utterance.  The Church today is not the same Church of 1832 - where this type of thing was the rule, and not the exception.  The general membership is grossly wicked, though.  This famine, however, is the reason most people come to this blog.  They sense all is not well in Zion, nor in the Promised Land (USA) - and they are looking for answers.  They read the scrips, hear what the rank and file leaders are saying and there is some cognitive disconnect in their minds (and spirits).  When many are crying peace and saying all is well - and the dust clouds from the approaching armies are visible on the horizon - there is a great sense of dread and confusion by the average citizen of Zion.  Where are the sounds of the trumpets blaring - calling all able bodied to arms?  Many are in a panicked state.  When I hear the grating sound of my leadership calling me to repentance and saying we are in a world of hurt - just as I heard in my younger years with ETB - I feel like someone has my back and is doing the heavy lifting.  When I hear "peace in our day" as the British did from Chamberlain - while knowing one of the most evil sacks was openly talking of the complete change of the world order of the day - that is a dread-inducing realization......

Here is what I wrote back to the person who turned me onto the previous information:

I remember you and your husband well.  I guess I was being overprotective when I was trying to vet you out when you approached me about a spot at the "Conference".  I am always worried someone who is hostile will crash the party instead of just politely leaving if they did not agree with the material.  So, when I realized you were a "friendly" and more preparedness-minded than I am, I was kind of laughing at myself.  I have found that the more I tell people that "all is not well in Zion", the more hostile I am treated.  I begin to understand what Lehi, Samuel (the Lamanite) and others came up against when they sounded the alarm.  Hope the last month of your pregnancy is going smoothly.

Glad you sent that to me.  I like virtually any different perspective - and then rely on the Spirit to filter out the stuff that does not work.
I have to say though, I am taking a bath on the author of that article - people calling her out as apostate.

The more outspoken I am, the more heat people apply if something is not perfectly above board.  Jesus had many people who "sought occasion against him" - he, of course, was quite the lightning rod back in the day.  I have a few schills who have been stalking the blog looking for any detail they can find "offensive".  Not sure if they are paid or just hobbyist schills.  When Denver Snuffer began stating the same thing I found (that the Book of Mormon was written for us - members of the Church and 2 Nephi 28-31 was a smack down of the general membership of the Church - and not a random stab at the world), the schills suddenly started showing up and shooting him down.  That one eventually landed him in a disciplinary council when he started taking pot shots at SL.

I am leaving it up, though - it is interesting that she arrived at about the same date as many others have.  The premise of the blog is that I throw the stuff out there and let the people decide whether it is worthy of wasting  their time on.  I do not hold it out there as doctrine, only that it MUST NOT contradict the existing doctrinal set - and it must match my world view - or it gets tossed.  This includes commentary.  If this blog were just another vanilla perspective, it would be just another blog.  When cooking, I like to heavily spice my food.  My wife usually cooks, I usually show up at the end if busy, and spice the heck out of the dish.  My kids love me in the kitchen for that reason.  When I write and think about stuff, it is usually pretty spicy.  I cannot stand a weak, watery gruel.  Meat and potatoes for me.....  Doctrinally and at the dinner table.

I think this will be my blog piece for the day.
