May I take this opportunity on behalf of myself and family to wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year! The beginning of a new decade! We made it through the last one, finally! It seems almost that a curse is lifted from somewhere. God only knows, but we all hope so. Tomorrow is a whole new day!

In case you may be interested here are some of my targets for the new year. 1. I want to go to England and see where my grandfather was born and where he came from. I want to write a story about his life for my children. 2. I want to write a story about “Shorty” our famous shetland pony that passed away a couple weeks ago. He has been in our family for a long time. 3. I have 96 days to finish my mothers house and get her moved in by her birthday April 6. Lots to do there still. 4. I want to build a chicken coop and start raising our own eggs again. 5. I want to help build an activity center so that we have a place to watch plays, dance, have concerts and maybe the odd conference or two. 6. I want to go to at least three conferences this year. I think we should have one in Missouri with our friends over there. 7. I want to introduce two languages besides English into our school system. From the beginning to the end of our school program I would like to see us graduate tri-lingual students. That would be something very exciting and very useful and worthwhile. If our students were fluent in French and Spanish besides English, that would be so nice. My children could help me learn French and Spanish. Hurray! 8. I want to send three more children to college. One already speaks French so she needs to hurry and get her teacher certification. 9. I want to help build 2-3 more houses. (I really don’t do much but I like to think I do.) Sam and Mary have the roof on their new house and I am going to help them with it. 10. I hope to see some more of my family get married off. They are getting quite old these days.

Thats just ten things. I know there are more but I will happily target those ten things and see how it all goes. So once again. Happy New Year to All!

I came from the society of the Fundamentalist LDS believing people. They make up many groups nowdays and are called by many different names. Too many of them in their fever to celestialize themselves prey on the little guy, like King David did to Uriah in the Old Testament. They will discredit and plunder their own faithful warriors in an effort to destroy them so they can enjoy the spoils, all the time tricking themselves into believing that there is something beautiful and right about that.  My reference has everything to do with those people. They have presidents, officers, bishops, etc. and my prediction is one for them. Over two hundred families of my friends have been destroyed by those officers, bishops, presidents, councillors. Enough is enough as far as I am concerned! I think that nothing is more useless than a police officer that is dishonest, or a president that watches porn by night and takes peoples families away the next day because they have looked at porn. A nasty bishop who wastes away the peoples means, a lying spokesman or an untrustworthy trustee who get their jollies by watching the very people suffer that support them and that they should be protecting and serving, are the ones that I make a reference to.

It has been just about a year since I was arrested. Our government broke their own law and hurt a lot of people in the process. The officer that did so was dealt with by the voice of the people. Our justice system seemed to work and proved it to be so. I have known some prejudiced police officers over the years. They made ugly jokes about the local First Nations community, they ridiculed us, and I was glad when they were transferred out of here. But their hurt was nothing compared to the thousands of people that have been hurt by our lost religious society. Lost boys, lost girls, lost fathers, lost mothers, lost grandfathers, lost grandmothers, lost decency, lost dignity, lost honor, lost money, lost truth!

I think it is time for LDS believing people to practice what they preach! It is definitely time for every Christian to stop looking for reasons to injure their neighbors. It is time for everyone to do better. Do you know what Bob? That includes me as well!

As for the Justice System. If you are a Fundamentalist practicing LDS person and involved in the Justice System of Canada or the United States then my prediction includes you as well.

Yes, those were the days. I quit because it took a lot of energy to predict a year in advance. I am much lazier now than back then. No really, I have learned how to live just one day at a time. It really isn’t that hard to make a few simple predictions but we need to give the credit to Jesus Christ. Here are a few of his predictions.

Anyone who lays a snare for his fellow will be taken therein. If you judge a person you will be judged the same way back. If you take away a persons family then you will lose yours. If you believe a lie that you know is a lie then you will be damned. Maybe I will make one prediction. Here goes.  This coming year will not be a good one for all you officers, presidents, bishops, counsellors, trustees,  spokespersons, or any other responsible persons that deliberately break up families, interfere with the free agency of men, women and children, and cause an attack or assist in an attack, religious or otherwise upon any person or his family. This year will be the beginning of your end and in the end you will be single, lonely, desolate and damned.

You folks that are so stuck on the One Man thing should be aware that Christ is the one man that you should be strictly obedient to and you should follow Him and no one else. He said if you build a church on the teachings of a man then you belong to the church of that man. When whole congregations bow to new teachings that contradict what Christ has already said then they are shifting their foundation from His church to their new man. Holy Cow! Why were we so dumb?

I certainly do enjoy Christmas, though I do not celebrate it in the traditional way. This year my family are doing a Christmas/New Years concert for anyone who wants to come listen. We have lots of friends and will advertise it for one day, the day we do it. We plan on singing our favorite Christmas songs along with some others. There are many people in my family and most plan on attending and participating.

We have so much of everything that we do not need to spend thousands of dollars on useless plastic toys or things that only keep the Chinese employed. Dad used to use Christmas as the time to get us all some socks, shoes, shirts or pants if that is what we needed. He came from a family that did the big tree thing and so he did. The fun left it all when he passed away in 74. My mom has a tree with all the lights, in her apartment. She enjoys it very much. I will put a small gift for her under it tomorrow night. And–on Christmas day we will surely eat lots of good things. Fruit, nuts, fresh baking, roast turkey, beef, ham and chickens. Lots of mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and more pies than any fat Mormon should eat. I am getting tired of the annual same old Christmas shows that I have watched forty times, so this year I am watching something new. If there is a football or hockey game somewhere I will watch that.  Oh yes, the book. I plan on getting started on some book I have never read. I am not going to read any books that talk about sad abused FLDS or any other abused folks. Don’t plan on a romance novel either. I am going to let the Bible rest a day or two as well. Maybe I will add to Larry Kings fortunes by buying a copy of his book and reading it. I’ll let you know.

Yes, at the time in the world when all Christians take a few days, sing some nice songs, go to church and talk of Christ, I will as well. He is no baby and isn’t asleep in a barn anymore but those are sure sweet songs that help us remember that he once was. That memory hurt no one.

So Merry Christmas to all the Christian world! May you think, sing and act like Christ would even if it is just one day. Call your parents, grandparents, siblings! Renew your friendships, forgive your enemies and show kindness to the needy. Give to the poor, heal old wounds and act like a better person. Sing good songs until your voice is hoarse. Don’t forget to pray and have that prayer in your heart. You all will be glad you did.

I don’t know if I could sort that mess out for you. Let me start from the front. There is nothing dishonorable about widowhood. Having your husband die is a sad thing. As far as I know, a widow has every right to choose to marry again, but if she does not want to then she should not.

If a woman is married to a man that is abusive to her then she should try and help him get some counselling. If he physically hurts her then she should get some protection. He will also be hurting the children and she should make sure that he does not. I have told different people over the years to call the police and get some help against violence. No one needs to be afraid of their spouse. If there is nothing that can be done then do something else. Being divorced does not make a person dirty if they have kept their vows, and it also does not make them free to jump into bed with the next person that comes along either. If you are the partner that has maintained your vows while the other has forsaken theirs then you are still virtuous in the sight of God. I counsel couples that have loved each other to reconcile if they can, clean up their lives by faith, repentance, and baptism, and then recommitting if for nothing else than for their children. It is the hardest thing of all to do, but is still the right thing to do. That is of course, if the one who broke their vow promises to never do so again.

If a man or woman is married and courting someone else’s husband or wife or daughters, watches pornography and goes to the beach oogling the girls or men, then they should quit it. Being holy on Sunday and thinking you automatically have some divine communion with God(Priesthood) after doing all of that is silly. It was Christ who said, “he who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery in their heart”. That applies the other direction as well. Time will take a toll on folks like that and in the end they will have no one who wants them.

The Priesthood is the authority that God gives to ordinary men that they may participate in the saving principles of the gospel for their family. He also gives some men the authority to perform those saving ordinances for a community or a church. That tender sacred contract with God is kept alive in a man that builds his foundation on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost, which must be present in the authorized man, is the spirit of God and the binding messenger sent from his presence. It will not abide with a man or woman that watches pornography, chases the girls, abuses his family and commits adultery. That is how it has always been.
