Re: [ZION] How Do You Interpret Hymn 220 In The Light of Earthly ReligiousJu
you are refering to verse 2, "Who am I to judge another when I walk imperfectly?", yes? 1. Elder Dallin H. Oaks gave a talk on judging, I wish I could provide an exact reference for his address. He stated we are all called upon all the time to make judgements. 2. the scriptures do not prohibit judgement, only unrighteous judgement. 3. Bishops and other church leaders, in my understanding, do not act as judges for themselves, but for the church.

[ZION] How Do You Interpret Hymn 220 In The Light of Earthly Religious Judgmen
As I was listening to this popular hymn I found myself wondering if it contradicts judgment which must automatically be made by bishops, stake Presidents and the like. What are your takes on this sort of thing?

Re: [ZION] Saints or Sinners?
He's speaking of affordability. Right now, he has no medical plan -- which is one big reason for the day job that he hopes will become full time Real Soon Now. There's a lot of people in that boat nowadays. If it weren't for my VA benefits, I would be too. *jeep! --Chet On Sat, 16 Aug 2003 17:21:32 -0500 "Ronn!

[ZION] Saints or Sinners?
Here's an age-old quandry (expressed in the 5th paragraph, but the previous paragraphs set it up so I thought I'd include them) that I recall being discussed in General Conferences during and after World War II, and used to be discussed during the Great Days of the Zion list (back when we weren't too uptight to let our hair down and have an occasional food fight).

Last Saturday I had to work. But ti was for a good cause. A techaer at Ainsworth elementary School had been murdered by her husband 9who then fatally shot himself) and we were preparing the school for her funeral. In reflection, it was a great service I was able to perform in helping a community say goodbye to a beloved teacher. It also cuased me to relfect on the strange combination of the world's cruelty and Heavenly father's mercy. I will never know what demons drove that terrible act, but knowing that both of these people who the world treated so cruelly will get a second chance at salvation was a great comfort to me. Seraphim Guard has had a very busy week. We just got two projects for the mutants & masterminds Superlink program approved by Green Ronin and work will begin on them as soon as a writer is under contract. Since I am becomign so much of a freelance house and will soon have many more writers under contract than i did previously, I'm wondering if I still qualify as an independent publishing house. I just wish I had the money to go with my position so that I could do regular print runs in addition to my e-publishing. I'm still taking PayPal sponsorships for HeartQuest Second Edition, by the way. One of the new M&M projects I'm farming out poses a very interesting question about the superhero genre. What is an ethical superhero to do if he lives under a corrupt or despotic regime? Basically the plan is to do a book about the "superhero scene" in seven real-life cities around the world, including several cities that were either formerly or presently under the sway of dictators. One of those cities, in fact, is recently-liberated Baghdad. From an LDS perspective this poses some disturbing questions. The Articles of faith urge us to obey kinbgs, presidents, principalities and potentates. Yet if that potentate was a man like Saddam Hussein of F.W. DeKlerk (one of the other cities int he book is Johannesburg) we cannot expect them to return the favor. the question is posed even more strongly in a book i want to publish about a world ruled by a supervillain. (To do that book, though, I'd need to get the rights back -- I had originally tried to write that book over a decade ago long before I started my own company). it doesn;t help that this supervillain is trying to set himself up as a God-on-Earth -- Michael Hopcroft, Publisher Seraphim Guard: http://www.seraphimguard.com LDS Gamers Mailing List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mormongamers Coming soon: Hopcroft Hobby Games -- Online RPG Sales with the Personal Touch [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / --^ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
