Comment on How Mormons Are Buddhists & Vice Versa by Cord Sharp

I don’t see why one can’t be Mormon and Buddhist. Mormons belive in God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Buddhists belive that Siddhārtha Gautama achieved enlightenment through meditation and following the Noble Eightfold Path. These beliefs shouldn’t conflict in any way, proving one follows Mormonism as a religion, and Buddhism as a philosophy (which I’ve always found it more of anyways). Besides they both tend to create genuine good people.

Comment on On Bearded Bishops & Avoiding The “Appearance Of Evil” by ditchu

In many cultures facial hair and how it is shaved/unshaved ect. is a status symbol and in some cases is like a badge displaying the peoson’s affiliation or even duties. In the Celtic culture prior to the angel invasion a beard representes a station of Cheif of King, the one who is responicible for the safty of his community, and shaven cheeks only signified celtic nobility, those who are issued the protection of their people.
As one who has assumed these kinds of responcibility it would be almost offensive to ask for their facial hair to be removed. It is like saying their culture is not valued and that they need to drop that status they have held.

This is not wise to do just because some few think it is an apperance of evil. Understanding goes a long way when dealing with people of mixed culture.

As far as I know, the calling for male temple workers is the only calling in the Church which officially requires no beard. That’s according to one of my leaders. Anywhere else that has that “rule,” ie: wards/stakes, is under the direction of a stake president, who is given authority to conduct the affairs of the congregations in his jurisdiction. I must say I don’t really understand why this is such a big deal. I certainly hope no one is so attached to the idea of facial hair that he (or she) would become embittered and jaded by a standard his or her leader has chosen to adopt. If it’s not a big deal to have it, it’s not a big deal to shave it off. Right?

I wouldn’t have let that newspaper incident stand. Guest to the Ward or not. I would have objected at the inappropriate nature, and invited anyone who wanted to know my take on it to come over to my place anytime.

Comment on The Appropriateness of Blessings by Lynn Jensen

Lynn Jensen — Sat, 31 May 2008 05:05:16 +0000

We are told in the scriptures to pray always, over our fields and flocks and everything. Asking for blessings is not a way of expecting God to eliminate the trials but of asking him to help us through them. I have asked for blessings before surgery and then find out that my life was in grave danger during the surgery. My recovery showed me that my Heavenly Father is watching out for me even when I’m not aware that the need is so great. Sometimes the answer to a request for blessing is “no” and we have to be ready to understand, at some time, that God has good reason to let things happen beyond our expectations. Don’t wait to ask until the need for a blessing is great. Would you not help your own children with the ‘little things’ as willingly as with ‘big things’?

Comment on Extra! Extra! Sister Smith’s Geneaology Disproves Science! by James Carmichael

142 generations in about 6,000 years? That averages about 40 years per generation. Mind you, that's not the average age of the father when the next generation was born. Forget the father's age. That's the average age of the mother when the next generation was born, whether first or last child. Someone is gullible, stupid, or just plain lying.
