The only way? I don't remember ever hearing this doctrine. I've always been under the impression that savings, wise investments, and staying out of debt are also part of the plan.

Yeah. Those three things are common sense, and any finance person will tell you that. It's like the fitness guru who sells weight loss pills. As long as you combine diet and excercise with them, they're guranteed to help you lose weight. Of course, you can also lose weight if you diet and excercise without buying the pill.


Last I checked, the gospel encompasses all truth. Do you not understand the promise in Malachi 3? You have to actually be doing something in order to be blessed. You can't just sit around on your duff after paying tithing and expect to reap temporal blessings.

Couldn't agree more. Come prepared to hear talks on the sanctity of marriage, paying tithing, keeping chaste and obeying the Lord's messengers!

My biggest question is whether the new Apostle will come from the usual suspects or from the broad diversity of the world wide church.

Pay your tithing. PAY your tithing. Pay YOUR tithing. Pay your TITHING. Tithing, pay it. Even if you have been foreclosed upon and your savings have dwindled to zero, PAY YOUR TITHING. We don't care what your family's situation is, PAY YOUR TITHING. tithing tithing tithing (prop 8), (don't look at p0rn), (Monson is awesome), tithing and more tithing.

and did we mention TITHING???



that is what will be heard this weekend

I hope Your words were preprogrammed into the teleprompter, weeks before. ( Checked scrupulously/meticulously by the Correlation Committee and by the Strengthening Church Members Committee, so it should not poelmanize later. )

Ya, count me in...
The world tomorrow will learn nothing from these Morons, you faithful sheep will hear same old,
regurgitated BS as teleprompter prescribed to parrot for them months ago.

I have more wisdom in my pinkie finger than all these old farts brains put together.
If any of them challenge me, they could do so raising right arms to square.

They have been acting as cowards in unison lying through their teeth, shielding themselves with FAIR Apologetics,
ducking all important doctrinal & socioeconomic issues.

Talk about a substance-less event.
This one takes the cake.

Mmmmmm. Cake! Did KA bake it?

Sugarcoating?
You want the information chewed-up given to your mouth like a baby?
I have a better suggestion; take off that magic helmet and live the real life! Don't let it pass you by!
This is the only opportunity you will have and you already blew half of it by believing this crock.
