Comments on: The Internet and the Church http://www.connorboyack.com/blog/the-internet-and-the-church Rants and musings about things political, philosophical, and religious.

I have looked into some of the programs for the mac, and I have decided that I'm just going to save my money and buy a MacBook so that I can run windows as well, and use the church's (excellent) PAF program, rather than a "wanna-be" program. The other ones are good, but not as comprehensive as the church's. I love that quote by Joseph Smith. Oh so true. It's funny to see how quickly the criticisms and persecutions of the church wash away. I'm convinced that with the internet, people will become more informed about what LDS people are really like, rather than how their bitter, axe-grinding critics portray them. Then again, it's all in the eye of the beholder. If people want to see us a certain way, nothing I say or write will change that, unless they have an open mind and are willing to sincerely observe and inquire. Nathan,

If it were written in Java, then it most likely would work on everything. I cam across your blog searching for information regarding that dumb lawsuit thingy. I'm very grateful that the Church is true too. It really makes a difference! I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that President Hickley is the only true and living prophet on the earth today, and I know that this statement from Joseph Smith also is true: "No unhallowed hand can stop this work from progressing. Persecutions may rage; mobs may combine; armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country and sounded in every ear; till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say, 'The work is done' . . ." So there is nothing to fear if we have faith! Thanks for sharing the Gospel on the Internet too! I should do that :) http://www.macgenealogy.org/personal-ancestral-file-paf-for-mac/ I just did a google search and found this :) I’ve always wanted to make my own PAF program in Java, but figured that the Church has everything in order probably.
