NYNYS Mission June 23-25, 1996

This is the lady we were never able to teach long ago. 3 months ago. Anyhow, she’s interesting. She couldn’t have children and drank a lot, smoked a lot, and did a lot of cocaine. One day she prayed to God and told him if she could have a child, she would quit all that stuff. 2 weeks later she was pregnant. We happened to come by the first time just after she had the baby. Now she is a lot more comfortable with it. This is a very good time for her to get baptized.

Fanatics

I watched a program by Cwic Media on YouTube where Greg Matsen was talking about a woman who had become an end of the world fanatic. The basis of the discussion was this:

“Active Latter-day Saint Mother and daughter take unsuspecting son, Blaze Thibaudeau, to an unknown wintery gathering in the north. They leave without the father’s knowledge. The Mother, her brother, and the adult daughter appear to have gotten involved with an end-times cult. The Davidic Servant is supposed to be someone who is to prepare the way for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.”

RESPONSE – Pastor’s HONEST Response to Latter-day Saints: Baptism

OK, here is my response to Pastor Jeff’s response. That sounds link of funny. Let me start by saying I really like Pastor Jeff. I also really enjoy how he breaks down and articulates he beliefs in comparison to LDS beliefs. He has done this enough now that he is really gaining a strong understanding of LDS theology and I think does well articulating the differences. Even though I will be somewhat critical of him, I really do love him and what he is doing. I just think he is wrong.

NYNYS Mission June 17-22, 1996

So, a few things. I didn’t write about it, but I remember the baptism at Rockaway Beach. It was the only baptism I went to at the beach. I remember there being a dozen missionaries there and the beach was loaded with hundreds of people if not more, all in their swimming attire. After the person was baptized, everyone on the beach started clapping. Yes, we did have pagers. I had one. I thought I was cool beans.

Unexpected Revelation

Then this sweet young sister missionary got up saying if she didn’t stand, she felt she would explode. Without going into too much detail she explained how she had been struggling and gone in to meet with the mission president. Her mission president asked her to read the following scripture:
