The Weightier Matters of the Law

Posted by Connor on August 31st, 2006

Mark Hudson, who is running for Congress in District 1 in Utah, has recently written/compiled an e-book titled “The Weighter Matters of the Law”. You can download it here. This book says it is “a plea for the Latter-day Saints to awaken”. The introductory paragraph is as follows: This booklet was written for the sincere [...]

Sustain’d is Born!

Posted by Connor on August 30th, 2006

Two days ago, I started creating Sustain’d. It’s already come a long way (thanks to some long nights and an otherwise-occupied girlfriend) and hopefully should launch soon. I’m coding it all by hand in PHP/MySQL. Yeah, I could probably use some of the frameworks out there, but it’d take me just as long to learn [...]

Follow the Prophet, He Knows the Way

Posted by Connor on August 28th, 2006

(Cross-posted at Blogger of Jared) In recent weeks I have been pondering about the role of the prophet. Some people in the “bloggernacle” seem to doubt the inspiration, direction, and words of the prophet. They seek to “critically analyze” what he says before choosing to obey, and often use secular knowledge and understanding to discredit, [...]

JFK on Secret Combinations

Posted by Connor on August 25th, 2006

From “The President and the Press” (April 27, 1961): The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent [...]

Who am I?

Posted by Connor on August 25th, 2006

I’m not sure who is the author of this, but I agree with it: I have destroyed more men than all the wars of all nations combined. I massacre millions of people each and every generation. I have wrecked more homes than all other causes known to you. I cause the downfall of the greatest [...]

RFID chips seem to be all the rage as of late. Some applications and uses of RFID: Track and monitor livestock Waterproof wrist bands Management of a food network Inventory control for retail store chains And coming soon to a country near you:

Wicked Gentiles and Salt Lake City

Posted by Connor on August 23rd, 2006

From the mouth of Heber C. Kimball: An army of Elders will be sent to the four quarters of the earth to search out the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All kinds of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the very elect if that were possible. Our [...]

Consequences for Courses Contrary to God’s Commandments

Posted by Connor on August 23rd, 2006

Referring to the Book of Mormon, President Hinckley has recently said: I know of no other writing which sets forth with such clarity the tragic consequences to societies that follow courses contrary to the commandments of God. Its pages trace the stories of two distinct civilizations that flourished on the Western Hemisphere. Each began as [...]

Jill and Jill Ran Up The Hill

Posted by Connor on August 21st, 2006

From the Campaign for Children and Families: The Democrat-controlled California State Assembly today passed SB 1437, one of four bills that would sexually indoctrinate schoolchildren and college students. SB 1437 would alter K-12 public education textbooks, instructional materials, and school-sponsored activities to positively reference transsexuality, transvestitism, bisexuality, and homosexuality, including homosexual “marriage.” The Assembly floor [...]

BYU: Stone Cold Sober

Posted by Connor on August 21st, 2006

For the ninth straight year, BYU has received the title of being the “most stone cold sober” school. Not surprising. I’ve already talked about the importance I see in mixing temporal and spiritual learning together. Both are hindered when the person has a hangover or a buzz from a recent indulgence. Some may criticize it, [...]

Social Security Sucks

Posted by Connor on August 18th, 2006

I just received my “Social Security Statement” in the mail. This is the first one of these that I’ve seen. I almost ripped it to shreds and threw it away. That’s how much I am opposed to this ridiculous program. I forced myself to read the statement in its entirety while suppressing the urge to [...]

Congressional Crop Rotation

Posted by Connor on August 18th, 2006

From the Utah Valley Review: Ask yourself, “How do I feel about the two term limits applied to Presidents of the United States?” We feel term limits are a good thing. In fact, we really feel that the lack of term limits poses a serious threat to the democratic process. One of the highest criterias [...]
