Worlds Without Number

…all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and call things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator. (Alma 30:44)

Posted by Connor on October 28th, 2006

Nicragua has become the the third country in Latin American (in addition to El Salvador and Chile) to ban all abortions without exception.
In the U.S., approximately 47 million abortions have taken place since Roe v. Wade.
The Family: A Proclamation to the World declares:

Triviality and the Prophet

Posted by Connor on October 27th, 2006

A few years ago President Hinckley said that women should only wear one pair of earrings.
Many women have disregarded this statement. Some, I assume, have chalked it up to the opinion of an old man, “out of touch” with the latest fashion trends of society. Others think it to be a […]

Posted by Connor on October 27th, 2006

Movies are a highly popular form of entertainment and a very lucrative industry. Members of the LDS Church have a standard against which they judge a movie to determine if it is okay to watch.
What is that standard?
Some members will tersely reply that we cannot watch rated R movies. This is […]

Wake Up, America!

Posted by Connor on October 27th, 2006

This is disturbing:
(CNN) — Most Americans do not believe the Bush administration has gone too far in restricting civil liberties as part of the war on terror, a new CNN poll released Thursday suggests.
While 39 percent of the 1,013 poll respondents said the Bush administration has gone too far, 34 percent said they believe the […]

A Lost Ten Tribe Returning?

Posted by Connor on October 26th, 2006

CNSNews.com is reporting that a “lost Jewish tribe” in India is soon to return to Israel.
More than 200 members of a “lost” Jewish tribe are set to immigrate to Israel next month from northeastern India in what some here say is nothing less than a miracle of biblical proportions.
“This is a project of national and […]

Celebrities and Stem Cell Research

Posted by Connor on October 25th, 2006

In the latest attempt to sway the American public, celebrities are again coming out of the woodwork in commercials in support of or against a certain topic. The topic du jour? Stem Cell research.
In this corner, weighing in at who knows how many pounds, we have Michael J. Fox:

KUTV reports that the State of Utah has introduced a new iteration of the official driver’s license.
Officials from the state’s Driver License Division announced the new look and added security features today. The division says the new temporary permits are already in circulation but the new cards could take until November first before […]

Parental Coaching

Posted by Connor on October 25th, 2006

Do you have some misbehaving children, and $1,200 to burn per day? Then parenting coaching is for you!
The JBS raises an interesting point, regarding the included video:
Their home is huge and luxurious. The mother is fashionably gaunt, with chiseled features suggestive of cosmetic surgery; she also very obviously spends a lot of time in […]

View Freedom to Fascism

Posted by Connor on October 24th, 2006

A couple months ago I saw Aaron Russo’s documentary “Freedom to Fascism”. I took notes and looked up the more interesting quotes when I got home and posted them here.
They’ve now made the movie available on Google Video, here.
Watch it. You’ll be glad you did. [voice of Men’s Warehouse dude] “I guarantee it”. […]
