http://www.thirdage.com/news/roseanne-barr-announces-presidential-run_08-05-2011
Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr is joining the race for the White House in 2012
The more the merrier, we need all kinds. Playing? after all, if Obama II could, anyone can. I guy with practically no experience in politics becomes president. A secretary of state who never had any active experience, is playing the big girl’s role. And, they are doing just as good as Bush did. So, why not another know-nothing, for president. The closer they are to professional politics the worse they are.
On the other hand, will she be just a distraction to help Obama II. This could be very interesting. Not running in the primaries? thus, not hurting the birthday guy. Sometimes there are games played only for appearance, but with a planned affect. Could this actor just be playing the actor in politics as a favor to her movement?

The Mormon church and the media’s ‘cult’ box
-----------------
My Take
It is amazed, when society evolves and people get more educated and thus more reasonable, there are still some who either by bigotry or by ignorance are still falsely labeling the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-- LDS (Mormon) Church as a cult. That is precisely what the Pharisees did when Jesus exposed the truth, without self-gain.
Such accusers could appear more educated if they would only research the LDS church. Such finger pointers, would find that the LDS Church follows the bible entirely- both old and new testaments. On the contrary, professional religionists preach for profit. There is where they get into false accusations, there is a conflict of interest.
Normally, those who say that the LDS Church is cult, have not researched the LDS church. Such people normally quote other people. Also, the anti-LDS groups, need to oppose the LDS church to maintain their daily bread. For, the LDS preaching is done for the love of following Jesus’s Counsel and helping others to study and return to God, if they choose. On the opposite side, those who normally oppose the LDS church, are full of hate. They have nothing good to say.
At the same time while the LDS church remains a victim of hate since near two centuries ago, when Joseph Smith first told people that he had seen a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ. The LDS Church helps even other faiths in times of need. They did so by helping others faiths rebuilding their houses of worship after WWII. When there are catastrophes The LDS church helps even non Christians.
The DLS church focus only on the good in others, such qualities are Christ-like. The answer remains on what Jesus said: “By their fruits who shall know them.” Unfortunately, the media many times focus on output rather than quality. That is why the media is still in the “box”.

The Lord Invites ALL to Come Unto Him (Haight)
----------------
My take
That puts the ball on your court. It is your move. But, there is a humbling word that is the key to be able to return to Him. It is called "repentance"; each of us needs to consider repenting. Than, the big question arises, repenting about what? Well, we can check the Lords, desires, and His commandments, to be able to know what to repent from. Thus, it comes to square one. Study the scriptures, change as you learn, and you will find yourself on the way to returning to God, through Jesus Christ. For, Jesus said: "No one comes to the Father but through me." It takes courage to return to God, but each one of us can do it, it is called change.

---------------------------------------
My Take
Research shows bias in Women-defenders.
We men have been and still are being discriminated by everyone from religious leaders to politicians; and, worse by the courts of divorce. Professional preachers, especially tell-evangelists, and the media, have been the enemies of the male gender, in top of what we suffer at home. Now, research by a women, brings more light to the nature of women.
Will the bigots repent? I doubt it. That is how they keep themselves from sleeping in the doghouse. By blaming other men for domestic violence, they show their oppressive wives that they are OK; such men have joined the feminist movement in male-bashing.
Bigots have always known the truth; but they did not have much evidence thrown at
them. Thus, biased people kept their crusade. If any man brought up evidence to show that women are culprits of domestic disharmony just like men and sometimes worse, those men who brought evidence, were chided and belittled even by other man; especially those in leadership positions, who benefit from numbers in population.
I had to prove my take on a journalism class in the University of Massachusetts in 1993. After being told that I “was going against the grain”. My bibliography was not enough. I was invited to bring in the research books and professional magazines. I did not see such requirements from other students’ research. I was the only-one who had to bring in the evidence—I am a man; and I was writing about equality on domestic violence.
In that research, I found that married, men have a greater chance of getting killed by their own wives, by 10%; I was threatened my “Ex-wife” while married. Also, I found that women start most of the violence at home. That complimented my own marriage that was in the midst of a divorce. The violent spouse got custody of the children, even after the judge knew that mom (My “EX”), had bitten our four year old daughter in the face.
The book in reference that lead me to write this piece, appears to be obscure to me. I did not yet read the book. I did not see any news about the topic; but the info in the add-info gives enough to know what is in the book. Granted, I sometimes go a few days without checking the news on the WEB; but, I normally surf the news.
However, I have about half dozed of main media publishers, sending me daily headlines. So, this info does not qualify for headlines. Well, it appears to be because the book exposes “women as being like or worse than men”. The major media appears to have disregarded the great book – it exposes feminism’s distortion. I bumped into the book Women's Infidelity by Michelle Langley, in a Google’s ad.

If You Desire to Know the Truth (Hinckley)
Posted July 30, 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My Take
-----------
It is All Based on Deciding
Though, the message by Hinckley may appear as a dream or as a wish, it is not. I can testify to the simplicity of it. I mean simplicity. Having the desire to know the truth about what makes life being what it is. Also, having the desire to understand that from the material perspective it is impossible to learn about spirit. Such understanding is the key to understanding the spiritual answer that lies within each of us; but, can be reached only by following the simplicity of life like the prophets of old—focused on God.
My own experience sums to a few things mentioned by Hinckley. First, having the desire to know more. Second, being sincere about the intentions for searching. Third, being sincere to allow room for change as the evidence is discovered. Forth, being firm on the knowledge received. And, fifth, as it was said before by Hinckley, paraphrasing “The decision is only made once.” In other words, once a person decides on what the evidence a person gets from God, that stays firm.
All clues are in the bible. Evidence can be: On what made the prophets of old have access to God’s information. If we use the prophets of old as a measuring rod, then, we need to understand how those prophets lived.
Being ready to leave the material desires behind, is next on the line. Jesus Himself, had the same needs as we have. According to the Gospel he was a man like each of us—as I see it. But Jesus’ priorities were on doing the will of Him who sent Him—The Father. If we too try to do the will of God, we too can be like He was and is. Jesus said so.
There is not secret about it, there is only the desire. Once we have a sincere desire to be better that what we are, we automatically are able to see greater spiritual things. The path of growth continues until we allow ourselves to get entangled with negativity such as hate, lack of understand to forgive, and greed, and arrogance, and physical distractions such as lust. The change is called repentance—condemning the act, while knowing that Jesus already paid for it; and strive to avoid doing it again.
To be more specific, the rules is easy: Would I do it if I was in the presence of God?
Did the prophets or Jesus ever do this? Is it in the commandments? Or, like Jesus said in His greatest decision, “Not my will, Father, by thy will be done.” When we deny ourselves, we are ready to receive greater knowledge. And when we get it, we will also learn that greater knowledge is at hand. As Jesus said, “All that my Father has is theirs”.
I am not a prophet, nor claim to be. Rather, I am a sinner who has tried to learn; and I have made many changes on my life at great sacrifices in order to learn more about God. Such changes came as I learned about what a few things are in the bible, by studying it. Though I am a poor man, I feel peace within me, even in the face of worldly conditions as we all have to face. It is part our learning process, deciding based on what we have learned.
