I feel so blessed that the Canadian saints are so willing to pay for my child to attend the Lord's university, where he can learn to be a leader in the Kingdom of God, as well as graduate with a business degree so he can take over my business someday.<br /><br />A few weeks ago, we took our travel-bus down to a warmer climate in another State and spent a few nights on our houseboat at the lake. I mentioned to my son how much money the Saints of Canada have given so he and other LDS students can attend BYU. He was very humbled.<br /><br />Thank you, oh Saints of Canada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753591549042633617.post-34974545696852917132011-12-14T14:37:09.705-05:002011-12-14T14:37:09.705-05:00I thought I would finally post a comment regarding...I thought I would finally post a comment regarding the transfer of tithing funds from Canadian saints to BYU. I am in an excellent position to make such a statement as I live in Southern Alberta, Canada (commonly known as 'the Utah of the North')! I love you, true brothers and sisters, who defended the right for Canadian saints to donate, even without our knowledge, to BYU. I have compassion on, and will pray for, those who mock.<br /><br />During the year in question, I donated 0.015% of the $102,900,000 that went to the Lord's University in the USA. I do not feel bitter about having these funds leave my country, as this was the will of the Lord. If this was not so then the mouthpiece of the Lord on earth would have been struck down! Clearly, Thomas S. is still alive, and doing very well by all accounts, just look at that youthful dark head of hair he sports -- it has not changed colour since I was born in the covenant over 40 years ago.<br /><br />Just the other day, as I was cleaning a particularly sizeable 'donation', left in the Church toilets, I thought about how I could donate more funds. I spoke with my Bishop and he suggested that I give a generous fast offering. Although I was already doing so, I gave a little more. I have also agreed to pay for all of the cost necessary to send our young women to Girl’s Camp and all of the youth to EFY. Although the Lord can simply create money out of thin air, as he did with the loaves and fishes, He wants us to prove our worthiness. Oh, it is wonderful that I have the earthly means to help prop-up the Lord’s one and only true Church on the face of the earth!

I think if we close our eyes, and imagine ourselves in a prayer circle in the temple we can get the same miraculous results temple prayer circles get. Ready, repeat these words:<br /><br />Dear Heavenly Father. We thank thee for Brother Fred, who loves thee so much that he wishes to defend thee from thine own servant, President Paternoster and P. Paternoster's friends. We pray, Father, that Fred's heart will be softened, and he will see the truth. We pray that he will no longer affiliate himself with evil websites. But if he does, Father, we pray that the people on such websites will have a little fun with him. Father, we ask you to bless Fred's family, that they will never find out that Fred has visited those websites. We ask thee to help him remember to clear his internet history after each use. And, oh Father, we pray that he never repeat what he learned upon looking at the Canadian Government's official records, because in they true country, the USA, they true people are not allowed to know where their donations go. We pray for Fred, Father. In the name of they beloved Son, even Jesus the Christ, Amen.James Mitchellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753591549042633617.post-34428495317201446382011-10-27T12:04:15.930-05:002011-10-27T12:04:15.930-05:00Freddy,

It just depends on how you personally wish to internalize it. I don't think you should judge "President Paternoster" by the comments people make on here either. That is unfair. Just because I chose to take the good from this blog (ie the information that gets sited and referenced)and not be offended at it does not give you or anyone else the right to make accusatons of whether or not I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint. I have no idea what you mean by "active in the Lords administration of His Church". I am not an administatin staff I'm just a member trying to learn. I would rather know what seemingly "outrageous things" are out there for people to try to attack about my church and deal with it in a possitive way then be all angry and judgemental. So Canada gave BYU 102 million dollars, so what. I pay tithing because I feel it is a commandment, what happens to the money is not a determination as to whether or not I should pay it.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753591549042633617.post-73427422882061271322011-10-26T19:17:17.217-05:002011-10-26T19:17:17.217-05:00Rob--[Fred, what is it that President Paternotster...Rob--[Fred, what is it that President Paternotster does that a Stake President of the Church of Latter-days would not do?]<br /><br />Invest the time to read and study the comments in the last few threads for part of that answer.<br /><br />If you were a member of the "Mormon" Church and active in the Lords administration of His Church, you would have no need to ask that question.

I have seen the value of putting names through the temple many times in my life. I know that putting someones name on a piece of paper and sending it though the temple to be prayed on can truly work miracles! Many prayers joined together increase the chance of success. I have found that putting a name in only once frequently attracts little attention to the problem. If putting a name through once, does some good, doing it 1000 times is 1000 times as good.

Oaks said: "It is wrong to criticize the leaders of the church even if the criticism is true!" I know that President Paternoster will receive inspiration on how to help you with your crisis of faith. But you have to believe. So if he helps you is because you exercised your faith and if he is unable to help if because your lack of faith. Another thing is that if you continue questioning the veracity and validity of President Paternoster's calling You are calling for Satan to possess you.<br />Be careful not to fall on that. remember how Laman and Lemuel complained about the calling of their father and how their lives were destroyed due to thier lack of faith. <br />I boldly testify to you in the name of Jesus Christ even our savior that these things are true. Follow the advice of your leaders or you will be damned. but if you follow their advice you will be blessed. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ AmenJoseph K.

What if 100 of us each put in 20 pieces of paper with fproy222 scribbled on them? Surely the Lord could not hold back his power against 2000 requests that he personally intervene and rebuke the evil spirit that has taken possession of fproy222. Please send a request to everyone you know to write fproy's name on as many pieces of paper at the temple as is humanly possible.

The gospel was not meant to be easy but that does not mean it's wrong. I agree with JohnGalt_UT that many on here do not take what President Paternoster is saying seriously but that does not mean that what he is saying isn't true. fproy2222 I'm not sure what you meant when you said that President Paternoster didn't have the authority to say what he said. Are you telling me that somewhere in the rules of the church it says if you are a Stake President that you can not discuss tithing on line with others? Or are you refering to how in a privite conversation with Bro. Hare he perdicted the church would be able to donate more money the following year? Have you ever predicted something to a friend? Both seem to be pretty lame reasons for determining whether or not he is or ever was a Stake President. <br />Making the statement on here that everyone who posts is disaffected or an exmormon would have to include yourself. I am neither. I enjoy the posts, I enjoy the things I learn from them, I don't see anything wrong with what is being said and I find it in harmony with the teachings of the church. I'm not surprised that there are people on here making fun of it through satire.
