From My Cuz:
THE EAST COAST EARTHQUAKE APPARENTLY WAS CAUSED BY AN UNKNOWN FAULT LINE
RUNNING UNDER DC & THROUGH VIRGINIA. IT IS NOW BEING CALLED, Obama's Fault,
THOUGH OBAMA WILL SAY IT'S REALLY Bush's Fault. OTHER THEORIES ARE THAT IT WAS
THE FOUNDING FATHERS ROLLING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES, OR THAT WHAT WE ALL BELIEVED
TO BE AN EARTHQUAKE WAS ACTUALLY THE EFFECTS OF A 14.6 TRILLION DOLLAR CHECK
BOUNCING IN WASHINGTON!!!!

Hidden
Treasures of Knowledge
Elder Spencer W. Kimball
Of
the Council of the Twelve Apostles
General Conference » October » 1968
The title for this paper was created by me as in 1968 they did not title the talks but just gave the speaker’s name. So as you will see as you read it, the title represents an overview of what this talk is about. Champ
President McKay, we have all appreciated and enjoyed your presence at this conference.
Brothers and sisters: I sat one day with an attorney friend, Guy Anderson, across the directors’ room table of my office in Arizona.
In his slow, pleasant drawl, he said, “I came to congratulate you on your call to the apostleship and to visit with you before your move to Salt Lake City.” We talked about what my call entailed, and then he told me of one of his experiences as a law student at George Washington University.
Discussion
of Word of Wisdom
A number of young members of the Church were students there. Since there were no stakes in the East at that time, they held a Sunday School class in a rented residence, and Congressman Don B. Colton from Utah was their teacher.
This particular Sunday morning, they were considering the 89th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord’s law of health.
Brother Colton had made an impressive presentation on the Word of Wisdom, which is “the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days.”
He emphasized also the further statement of the Lord:
In
consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of
conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving
unto you this word of wisdom by revelation
[D&C 89:4].
The
Lord is displeased when his earthly children imbibe in wine or strong drink. He
said,
“.
. . tobacco is not for the body . . . and is not good for man. . . . And
again, hot drinks, [tea and coffee] are not for the body. [D&C 89:
8-9]
Brother
Colton emphasized the promise made by the Lord to those who did observe this law
of health and other commandments. Hear these rich promises:
.
. . all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in
obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to
their bones;
And
shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden
treasures,
And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them” [D&C 89: 18-21].
And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them” [D&C 89: 18-21].
Then
came a question from one of the students:
Brother
Colton, the promise is that if one observes these laws, he shall find wisdom and
great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures. Many of the men in this
university use tobacco and liquor and break all commandments, including the law
of chastity. Yet in some cases they excel academically. So far as I can tell my
obedience to the Word of Wisdom has not made me superior intellectually to them.
How do you account for that?
Since
closing time had come, Brother Colton held this difficult question for the next
week.
Experience
of Congressman
On
Friday, as usual, several of the congressmen were eating luncheon at the House
of Representatives’ restaurant when Brother Colton joined them. The others began
to joke in a friendly fashion, “Here comes the `Mormon congressman; this man
from Utah won’t drink nor smoke a cigarette nor even drink a cup of coffee.”
A congressman from a western state came to the defense, saying, “Gentlemen,
you may joke at Mr. Colton and have your fun at the expense of the `Mormon
Church, but let me tell you an experience.”
He told a story something like this:
He told a story something like this:
I
was back in my home state, building political fences, shaking hands with voters,
getting acquainted with my people. Sunday overtook me in a country
town.
I sat in the lobby of the hotel, reading the paper, and through the plate glass window I saw many people going in the same direction. My curiosity was stirred. I followed them to a little church and slid unobtrusively into a back seat and listened and observed.
This church service was different. I had never seen one like it. A man called `bishop’ conducted the meeting. The singing was by the congregation, the prayer by a man from the audience, apparently called without previous notice. Soft music was played. All was silent as one young man knelt and said a prayer over bread, which he and his companion had broken into small pieces, and then several boys, probably 12 or 13 years of age, took plates of broken bread and passed it to the congregation. The same was done with little cups of water. After the choir sang an anthem, to my amazement (for I expected to hear a sermon), the bishop announced something like this: `Brothers and sisters, today is your monthly fast and testimony service, and you may proceed to speak as you feel led by the Spirit. This time is not for sermons but to speak of your own soul and your inner feelings, and assurances. The time is yours.
The western congressman paused and then continued.
Never before had I experienced anything like this. From the congregation people arose. One man in a dignified voice said how he loved the Church and the gospel and what it meant in the life of his family.
From another part of the chapel, a woman stood and spoke with deep conviction of a spectacular healing in her family as an answer to prayer and fasting and closed with what the people called a testimony — that the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by the Church was true; that it brought great happiness and a deep peace to her.
Still another woman arose and bore witness of her sureness that Joseph Smith was truly a prophet of God and had been the instrument of the Lord in restoring the true gospel of Christ to the earth.
A man from the choir, evidently a recent immigrant, seemed sensitive about his language. He was struggling with his v’s and his w’s and verbs and construction. Two years ago, two young missionaries in far-away Holland had taught him the restored gospel. He told how happy his family had been since embracing it, and what a transformation had come in their lives!
The old and the middle-aged and the youth responded; some were farmers, laborers; there were teachers and business and professional men. There was no ostentation, no arrogance, but a quiet dignity, a warm friendliness, a sweet spirituality.
Then came in succession several children. They spoke less of their knowledge of spiritual things but more of their love for their parents and for the Savior, of whom they had learned much in Primary, Sunday School, and family home evenings.
Finally the bishop stood and in a few appropriate words of commendation expressed his own sureness; then he closed the meeting.
The western congressman noted that all around the table were intently listening. He continued:
Never had time passed so rapidly. I had been entranced. And as each additional speaker had concluded in the name of Jesus Christ, I was moved — deeply stirred — and I pondered: How sincere! How sweet and spiritual! How sure these people seem to be of their Redeemer! How much at peace! What security they have in their spiritual knowledge, what strength and fortitude, and what purposeful lives!
The congressman said, “I thought of my own children and grandchildren and their helter-skelter existence, their self-centered activities, their seeming spiritual vacuums, their routine lives in search of wealth and fun and adventure. And I said to myself with an enthusiasm new to me, `How I wish my own posterity could have this sureness, this faith, this deep conviction. Why, these humble people seem to have a secret that most people do not enjoy — yes, that is it — something worth more than all else, real treasures, hidden treasures.

The
luncheon ended. The congressmen went back to their offices.
Hidden
treasures of knowledge
Elder
Colton was now again before his Sunday School class of young college men. He
retold the Friday afternoon story and said that what the congressman had
observed were “hidden treasures of knowledge” promised by the revelation.
These
mysteries of the kingdom relate to all truths, not merely to scientific
accomplishments and legal cases and other secular things. He said that
“treasures of knowledge” extended far beyond material things, out into
the infinite areas not explored by many otherwise brilliant people. He repeated
the Prophet’s statements, which are proverbial among members of the Church:
Knowledge is power. The glory of God is intelligence.
Knowledge is not merely the equations of algebra, the theorems of geometry,’ or the miracles of space. It is hidden treasures of knowledge as recorded in Hebrews, by which “the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Heb. 11:3); by which Enoch was translated that he should not see death; by which Noah, with a knowledge no other human had, built an ark on dry land and saved a race by taking seed through the flood.
Knowledge is that power which raises one into new and higher worlds and elevates him into new spiritual realms.

Knowledge is that power which raises one into new and higher worlds and elevates him into new spiritual realms.
Knowledge
Not Unfindable
The
treasures of both secular and spiritual knowledge are hidden ones — but hidden
from those who do not properly search and strive to find them. The knowledge of
the spiritual will not come to an individual without effort any more than will
the secular knowledge or college degrees. Spiritual knowledge gives the power to
live eternally and to rise and overcome and develop and finally to
create.
Hidden knowledge is not unfindable. It is available to all who really search. Christ said, “. . . seek and ye shall find.” (Matt. 7:7.) Spiritual knowledge is not available merely for the asking; even prayers are not enough. It takes persistence and dedication of one’s life. The knowledge of things in secular life are of time and are limited; the knowledge of the infinite truths are of time and eternity.

The knowledge of things in secular life are of time and are limited; the knowledge of the infinite truths are of time and eternity.
Knowledge
of God
Of
all treasures of knowledge, the most vital is the knowledge of God; his
existence, powers, love, and promises.
The Christ said:
The Christ said:
“He
that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself unto him.” (John 14:21.)
He
further said:
If
a man love me, he will keep my words: . . . and we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.
(John 14:23.)
And
the Prophet Joseph Smith explained:
And
this means that the coming of the Father and the Son to a person is a reality —
a personal appearance — and not merely dwelling in his
heart.
(D&C 130:3.)
This
personal witness, then, is the ultimate treasure.
Knowledge
That Saves
One
may acquire knowledge of space and in a limited degree conquer it. He may
explore the moon and other planets, but no man can ever really find God in a
university campus laboratory, in the physical test tubes of workshops, nor on
the testing fields at Cape Kennedy. God
and his program will be found only in deep pondering, appropriate reading, much
kneeling in devout, humble prayer, and in a sincerity born of need and
dependence.
These requirements having been fully met, there is no soul between the poles nor from ocean to ocean who may not positively obtain this knowledge, this hidden treasure of knowledge, this saving and exalting knowledge.
President Joseph Fielding Smith, speaking at Brigham Young University, quoted from latter-day revelation: “It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance” (D&C 131:6), and then asked the question:
“Ignorance of what? By that, do we mean that a man must become proficient in his secular learning — that he must master some branch of education? What does it mean?”
We mean this: “That a man cannot be saved in ignorance of the saving principles of the Gospel. We cannot be saved without faith in God. We cannot be saved in our sins. . . . We must receive the ordinances and the covenants pertaining to the Gospel and be true and faithful to the end. Eventually, if we are faithful and true, we shall gain all knowledge, but this is not required of us in this brief, mortal life, for that would be impossible. But here in faith and integrity to the truth, we lay the foundation upon which we build for eternity.”
Real intelligence is the creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts.

Real intelligence is the creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts.
The
Greatest Knowledge
The ultimate and greatest of all knowledge, then, is to know God and his program for our exaltation. We may know him by sight, by sound, by feeling. While relatively few ever do really know him, everyone may know him, not only prophets — ancient and modern — but, as he said:
“.
. . every soul who forsaketh his sins and cometh unto me, and calleth on my
name, and obeyeth my voice, and keepeth my commandments, shall see my face and
know that I am.” (D&C 93:1.)
If
men qualify, they have this unalterable promise from their Redeemer.
Among the numerous people who have had manifestations is Moses, who saw and knew the Lord:
Among the numerous people who have had manifestations is Moses, who saw and knew the Lord:
“.
. . the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his
presence. (Moses 1:2.)
Moses
tells of this transcendent experience:
But
now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes,
for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died
in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was
transfigured before him.
(Moses 1:11.)
And
then in his dialogue with Satan, whom he saw also, Moses said:
For
behold, I could not look upon God, except his glory should come upon me, and I
were strengthened before him. But I can look upon thee [Satan] in the natural
man? Is it not so, surely?
(Moses 1:14.)
Again,
the Lord spoke of hidden treasures of knowledge when he prayed to his Father to
glorify him:
And
this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom thou hast sent.
(John 17:3.)
And
he promised:
My
sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish. (John 10:27-28.)
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish. (John 10:27-28.)
Key
to Knowing
The Savior of the world gave this key:
If
any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God,
or whether I speak of myself.
(John 7:17.)
Nicodemus,
a highly trained man, failed to know the hidden spiritual things, being
unwilling to perform the works. He could not have the Holy Ghost, since he would
not humbly bow in baptism. The Holy Ghost is the testifier. It is he who teaches
all things and brings to our remembrance all things the Lord has
taught.
Nicodemus asked:
Nicodemus asked:
How
can these things be?
Jesus answered . . ., Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
. . . I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (John 3:9-11.)
Jesus answered . . ., Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
. . . I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (John 3:9-11.)
In
one of his prayers Jesus said:
I
thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
babes.”
(Matt. 11:25)
The
Mysteries of the Kingdom
Again,
the Lord said: “Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the
kingdom, but to them it is not given.” (Matt. 13:11.) Such
must be earned.
And then Paul speaks of hidden wisdom:
And then Paul speaks of hidden wisdom:
But
we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God
ordained before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes of this world knew. (1 Cor. 2:7-8.)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Cor. 2:11.)
Which none of the princes of this world knew. (1 Cor. 2:7-8.)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Cor. 2:11.)
Secular
and Spiritual Knowledge
To
have both the secular and spiritual is the ideal. To have only the secular is
like Jude said:
“.
. . clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
withereth.” (Jude 12.)
Desirable
as is secular knowledge, one
is not truly educated unless he has the spiritual with the
secular.
The secular knowledge is to be desired; the
spiritual knowledge is an absolute necessity.
We shall need all of the accumulated secular knowledge in order to create worlds
and to furnish them, but
only through the “mysteries of God” and these hidden treasures of
knowledge may we arrive at the place and condition where we may use that
knowledge in creation and exaltation.
It is my prayer that we learn to master ourselves by obedience to the Lord’s commandments by the control of our physical appetites, and by placing first in our lives service to God and our fellowmen, so that the hidden things of the spirit may come to us and that we may attain perfection with the Father and the Son. Many have seen God in the course of history. All of us may do so eventually through our righteousness.
I add my witness to the numerous ones already spoken and written and talked of through this conference of the divinity of Jesus Christ and his work, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Wall
Street Journal Sizes Up Obama
A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America .
Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Alan Caruba:
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group (George Soros anybody?) took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska . It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, 3 full years into his presidency, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain .
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America . He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States .
We the people are coming!
Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.

Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain .
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his communist ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America . He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a birth certificate, this man spent over a million dollars to deny access to his. Most other documents, the paper trail we all leave in our wake, have been sequestered from review. He has lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of the United States .
We the people are coming!
Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.

From JR:
One should be
thinking about this seriously. I'm sending this because I know you are bright
and I care about you.
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called "Gonorrhea Lectim." It’s Pronounced "Gonna re-elect em" and it is a terrible Obamanation. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...But now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-3 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is. It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose now and the second dose in Nov. 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.
You may want to pass this important message on to all those bright folks you really care about.
