RE: [ZION] hand shakes
Maybe LSD causes a hand shaking/germ phobia. I know it can cause hallucinations and such. --Jeff. >>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/20/2003 10:40:57 AM >>> It seems to me that the tradition of hand shaking is diminishing somewhat in LSD social circles, the ones I'm in, that is. And for that, I'm quite glad. I don't want to shake hands with anyone, quite frankly. It's just a germy thing to do and it should be discontinued, in my noble opinion. Think about it; handshaking spreads germs, disease, and simply more pain to make our already miserable earth lives more miserable. So why shake hands with germy people? They put their fingers in their noses, cracks (various ones), and rub there oily skin. I simply can't stand it when I see people in church rubbing their faces, yes, and mouths--then they want to shake hands with me?? God forbid. Does anyone feel like me? I feel my complaints are noteworthy.It's a good idea to wash you hands after shaking. Wouldn't you say?

[ZION] Nature of God

RE: [ZION] "Social" Mormons

To me that > clearly means > that we should not limit our use of these things to winter or > hunger. But > that we are to eat meat sparingly at all times. > > John W. Redelfs Your comments piqued my curiosity because I had always had a different interpretation of that verse. You neglected to include the comma in your quote and I'm wondering if you think it changes the meaning. D&C 89:13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine. With the comma after "used," I interpret the verse to mean that the Lord is pleased when we use meat in times of winter, cold, or famine -- not as you said, "sparingly at all times." --Jeff. // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^

I agree that publishing phone numbers taken from any church-published stake or leadership directory is inappropriate. I have not done so.

RE: [ZION] High Priests have money

I'm right and you're wrong. John: > I think that Paul is being deliberately provocative in order > to stir up a > discussion.

I think Paul's statement from above: "I'm right and you're wrong." is the former but not the latter. For the sake of healthy discussion and spiritual growth, may I suggest that we refrain from the provocative when it is not also clearly productive. --Jeff. / /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^

My former stake president was a public school teacher and later an administrator and my current stake president is in a similar income bracket. Both of them are most likely below the 50th percentile with regard to income within the stake boundaries. How can you justify statements like that, Paul? The Lord will call whom He will call, income notwithstanding. --Jeff. / /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
