Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the News

I was sort of joking, Frank. The church's statement said that protests should be peaceful and according to the lasws of the land. Gandhi and MLK both utilized civil disobedience which, while peaceful, intentionally broke the law.

Ok, not a good joke. Sorry

I wasn't swift enough to get it.

This was inevitable, I suppose:

[Moliere]

That's.... horrible.

Yeah, that's horrible. Is that one of the Hammonds? If not, why is being called a goodbye video?

That's what is taking up half my FB feed. I guess they didn't get your memo on consistency not being a valid argument.

[frank ryan]

Has anyone posted the goodbye videos yet?

He's the same loon who has confronted Muslims outside of mosques and tried to set up a draw-muhammad event. http://www.abc15.com/news/national/j...protest-videos

Exactly!

I didn't know Ghandi or MLK carried weapons and took over gov buildings.

My openly racist brother routinely uses "dope dealer" when referring to blacks all the time, and usually with a reference to Obama mixed in. You might want to pick a different comparison.

Or not. Whatever.

And ... boom. Right on cue.

From David Bundy's FB page. He is going to disregard today's directive from the church and follow other modern and ancient prophets, thank you very much.

Its is real easy to idly stand by, say all is well ye zion prosper standing idle in carnal security looking tuff speaking bold, but when there is an opportunity to stand up against the evils and tyranny that is encircling around all of us, your types are nowhere to be found but behind the scenes scrutinizing those who have the patriotism, zeal for country, commitment to the constitution and understand the devine responsibility that is ours to defend what we fought for so valiantly in the pre mortal, AGENCY. I fully believe in Edler Oaks's talk, we must be cautious not to fall into extremism, we must seek the spirits guidance in all we do. However I also believe in obeying the thousands of other Prophets and Apostles warnings and pleadings to stand for agency, freedom and with the divine U.S. Constitution. I believe that we should be law abiding citizens, so far as it is Constitutional as we are directed so in the 98th section of the Doctrine and Covenants. I have personally questioned the recent strategies taken by my brothers. However let me make it very clear that I 100% agree and will defend the principles that drive there commitment. There have been aggressious act of blatant tyranny upon many multiple land users in Carney Co. OR. Including the Hammond family. Tyranny that has violated there God given unaliable rights as human beings, many of there state/civil rights, including their pre-emptive rights. All by a bureaucracy that Constitutionally has absolutely no Authority and Jurisdiction over them or their ranch, all in an effort to take their ranch, rights to the land and livelihood away. ( I also must mention the treason committed by their County Sheriff, the coward made an oath to protect the life, liberty and property of those within his county, his oath is not made to the BLM.) Old man Hammond will most likely die in prison before his release in four years. Over the past few years he and his son have been persecuted and Imprisoned for a common practice of burning for weed control and fire protection that has been a practice used by Ranchers for centuries. Remember, the Hammonds are a God fearing, Christian family with grandchildren and a way of life they love and cherish and have been good stewards over the things God has given to them. It would truly be a tragedy if we the people failed to do something in there behalf. Don't get hung up on the medial spin that they took over a federal building and have guns. First of all who's building really is it, second don't we have the right bear and keep arms? I think our heavenly father is pleased with those who put forth effort to preserve the most divine principle of Agency. It is evident now what president Benson said in a talk titled "not commanded in all things" he said many and I emphasize many priesthood holders will be led a stray like a bull with a nose ring regarding defending the constitution in the last days. I'm paraphrasing so go look it up and read it for yourselves. this is not the time to climb upon your high horse and cast criticism upon your family, rather it is the time to support and pray for their protection and for the Hammond family and the people of Harney County. Go captain Moroni.

My brother's in-laws live in southeastern Oregon and say the BLM and Forrest Service are pretty heavy handed. One of them just posted this on FB and stated that this is a pretty good take on what has happened. I'm not really into news sites from either the left or the right. However, I think this was an interesting read:

can't wait until someone shoots at these surplus gi joe manlets. i suspect most are not as eager to die as they say, but i wouldn't mind if they were -- especially members of the bundy clan. wonder what the median income of the dorks occupying the place is.

I'm glad the government appears to just be "ignoring" them for now. I fear what turning these guys into martyrs will do to the country.

So we want to call these yokels terrorists? This is the debate in America? Good hell, people.

IIRC, if the government as property holder keeps ignoring them in 21 years they might have claim to the facility. That's not the action of a terrorist.
