BRENT'S LONGER DIARY 34

03/28-
MONDAY

Last night there was a presentation on the Book of Testimony 23 Minutes In Hell by Bill Weise, which a couple of people in the Church rejected because of false RLDS traditions.

Today at Work I cleaned bathrooms, did towel buckets, cleaned under the cabinets beneath the drink station and picked up some trash outside, and changed one trash inside. 

When I got home, I got on PalTalk and sent user iron rod the link to the forthecauseofzion website, but when I looked at the latest news on it, my thoughts were that Joseph F. Smith sees Mauricio as an unlettered inferior because he speaks Portuguese and not English, and sees him as an outsider trying to wrest control of the Church from him, because he thinks Mauricio has his own ideas. I agree with Mauricio that Samuel S Gould and Peter P Gould are still Apostles in whom the Lord is well pleased even though Joseph F Smith silenced them because the reason they turned against the Restructured Church was because they did not find the direction the Restructured Church was going in is pleasing to the Lord. Also one of the Restructured Apostles, I think Albert Fike is not supposed to be an apostle according to the Angel Moroni because of his past of childhood sex u al abuse. If not Albert Fike, then it is probably one of the ones who fell away, hopefully not Jeff Johnson because that is the one who married Gina Johnson, who is still an active Apostle in the Restructured Church. Now I don't know if Mauricio has repented of thinking that he was the Spiritual carrier of the essence of Joseph Smith and III yet, for this was rebuked in a Revelation given by Joseph F. Smith, before things started going downhill, before he told us to lay aside the Word of God to this generation, the SBOM. As I said, Joseph sees Mauricio as an outsider with his own ideas, when the ones he is resisting actually come from the Angel Moroni himself--the "ideas" are Moroni's and the fact that Joy Soper reports, that there are blessings and miracles, is no proof that the Church is going in the right direction. The proof is obedience and Moroni is trying to reach out through Mauricio to rein in the Church, but Joseph F. Smith sees it as a power struggle.


Satan apparently started some rumor about Joseph F. Smith having a special ring he used to validate the Brazil Plates, a rumor calculated to cause strife and division, and attributed by the forthecauseofzion website to Mauricio Artur Berger or his associates, and there is a strife of words based on pure misunderstandings in emails between brothers Joseph and Mauricio. As Wilhuff Tarkin said, this bickering is pointless. The Brazil Work shall succeed and the work in America will eventually be overtaken by it, according to the Prophecies of the Lord. If I am to be Baptized and Confirmed, to what shall I be Baptized to?? To this mess of a Restructured Church? Perhaps it was good that I was expelled. Perhaps it is good that I need to be rebaptized and reconfirmed, and that I haven't been yet. O that angels would come to my door and take me to be baptized to Jesus Christ, and that God Himself would Confirm me! Amen!


I just introduced myself to my new neighbors who just moved into the house next door.

I believe in the Ultimate Ensemble.

It is supported in the Scriptures, in the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, where it says, All things must come to pass in their time.

When did Mormonism NOT support particle physics?:

The Endowment: Creator of stupendously vast universes

Moses: Many earths, many Adams, many Eves.

Joseph Smith: All spirit is matter.


From Quora.com:

Why are the Star Wars Sequels good?

I like some things about the sequels, and there are other things that I think could have been done better.

What’s good about them?

One thing I really like is the way they are a reaction and reflection by the characters about the previous movies. Kylo Ren is a Darth Vader groupie desperately trying to imitate his grandfather. Rey playing with Star wars toys. Finn looking up to Han. Poe admiring Leia. The First Order trying to imitate the Empire. Snoke trying to imitate Palpatine. Luke examining his role as hero, and the role of the Jedi Order. I think it’s an interesting and inspired approach.

The characters and character interactions are interesting, though they were not always used as well as they could have. Rey’s struggle with the role of a hero. Kylo’s struggle with his role as a villain. Luke’s struggle with his role as legend.

Another thing is the acting. I have a lot of criticism for Abrams, and a little for Johnson, but they were able to do the one things Lucas couldn’t do in the prequels — get really good performances from good actors.

Also, The movies are also beautiful visually. Say what you will about bringing back Palpatine, but the visual image of the decaying Palpatine was pretty cool.

I'm listening to more of the Audiobook Europe in the Middle Ages.

Many atheists cite the existence of a multiverse as proof there is no God:


Wallace G. Smith of Tomorrow's World Magazine, writes:

"....Yet even the multiverse and its vast, probabilistic resources are not enough to explain God away.  Scientists such as Paul J. Steinhardt, who first introduced the hypothesis of "Eternal Inflation" to the world, has noted that inflation still requires unexplained fine-tuning to generate a multiverse.  Physicist Alexander Vilenkin and colleagues have proven that an inflationary universe cannot be projected eternally into the past--so even a multiverse must have a beginning."
