		<description>THIS IS IN THE MORMONS SCRIPTURES CALLED THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE---&gt;

AFRICANS CURSED BLACK &amp; CURSED FROM THE PRIESTHOOD

&quot;..CURSED..to the Priesthood..being of the(BLACK AFRICAN)lineage by which he could not have the right of PRIESTHOOD(Abraham1:26-27)&quot;

24..from(BLACK AFRICAN)Ham,sprang that race which preserved the CURSE in the land(Abraham1:23-24)

&quot;..the LORD shall CURSE the land..A BLACKNESS came upon all the(BLACK AFRICANS)..of Canaan,that they were despised among all people..(Moses7:8)&quot;

&quot;..seed of Cain were BLACK,and had not place among them..(Moses7:22)&quot;


THIS IS IN THE BOOK OF MORMON---&gt;


THE MORMON GOD CURSING PEOPLE WITH DARK BLACK SKIN AS A CURSE The point is the SKIN COLOR IS DARK BLACK &amp; it&#039;s A CURSE now go up to a BLACK OR DARK SKIN INDIAN MANS FACE &amp; SAY THIS

&quot;...the Lord God did cause a skin of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)&quot;

&quot;And the skins..were DARK,according to the MARK which was set upon their fathers..which WAS A CURSE upon them...(Book of Mormon,Alma 3:6)&quot;

&quot;and the CURSING which hath come upon their skins...(Book of Mormon, Jacob 3:5)&quot;




THIS  IS MORMON PROPHETS BACKING UP WHAT I AM SHOWING YOU ON THESE LDS MORMON SCRIPTURES


LDS MORMON PROPHET Brigham Young: &quot;WHY are so many of the inhabitants of the earth CURSED with a SKIN of BLACKNESS ? It comes in consequence of their fathers rejecting the power of the holy Priesthood, AND THE LAWS OF GOD.(Journal of Discourses 11:272 &amp; The Way to Perfection Pg.107)

&quot;...the Lord God did cause a SKIN of BLACKNESS to come upon them (Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)&quot;

&quot;..A BLACKNESS came upon all the (BLACK AFRICANS)..of Canaan..(PEARL OF GREAT PRICE Moses7:8)&quot;

&quot;being of the (BLACK AFRICAN)lineage by which he could not have the right of PRIESTHOOD,(PEARL OF GREAT PRICE Abraham1:26-27)&quot;



...Canaan,the son of Ham...hence the NEGRO or AFRICAN RACE...
(LDS MORMON APOSTLE Orson Hyde,
Nauvoo.April 27th,1845,printed in Liverpool, page 30)

&quot;...The negro is damned...till God chooses to remove the curse of HAM&quot;(LDS MORMON Prophet Brigham Young,New York Herald,May 4, 1855)


24..from(BLACK AFRICAN)Ham,sprang that race which preserved the CURSE in the land(pearl of great price Abraham1:23-24)


&quot;...the LORD shall CURSE the land..A BLACKNESS came upon all the(BLACK AFRICANS)...of Canaan...(pearl of great price Moses7:8)&quot;






LDS MORMON APOSTLE MARK E. PETERSON SAID LAMANITES &amp; NEGROES HAVE THE SAME CURSE OF BLACK SKIN

 &quot;Who placed the Negroes originally in darkest Africa? Was it some man, or was it God? And when He placed them there, He segregated them....The Lord segregated the people ... At least in the cases of the LAMANITES and the NEGROES we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that He placed a dark skin upon them as a CURSE ... Race Problems--As They Affect The Church
by Mark E. Petersen 1954: Page 14




Key words are WHITE and DELIGHTSOME which means the SKIN!

&quot;...wherefore, as they WERE WHITE...and DELIGHTSOME, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS to come upon them (2 Nephi 5:21).&quot;

LDS PROPHET Spencer W. Kimball said: I saw a striking contrast in the progress of the Indian people today...they are now becoming WHITE and DELIGHTSOME, as they were promised...General Conference Report, October, 1960. Improvement Era,December 1960, pp. 922-923


LDS PROPHET Joseph Fielding Smith:&quot;Ham, through Egyptus, continued the curse which was placed upon the seed of Cain. Because of that curse this dark race was separated and isolated from all the rest of Adam&#039;s posterity before the flood, and since that time the same condition has continued, and they have been &#039;despised among all people.&#039; This doctrine did not originate with President Brigham Young but was taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith .... we all know it is due to his teachings that the negro today is barred from the Priesthood.&quot;   The Way to Perfection, pages 110-111.



THIS IS LDS DOCTRINE!

LDS PROPHET JOHN TAYLOR:&quot;...after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain was continued through Ham&#039;s wife,as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the DEVIL should have a representation a upon a the earth...&quot;Journal of Discourses, Volume 22, page 304.

24...from Ham,sprang that race which preserved the curse in the land.(The Pearl of Great Price the Book of Abraham 1:23-24)






THIS IS NOT OPINIONS THIS IS LDS DOCTRINE

LDS MORMON PROPHET Joseph Smith:
&quot;...The Lamanites,through transgression, became a loathsome,ignorant and filthy people,and were CURSED with a SKIN of DARKNESS yet, they have the promise,if they will believe, and work righteousness...they shall become a WHITE and DELIGHTSOME people...&quot;
:The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star,vol.14, p. 418 &quot;

&quot;...they WERE WHITE...and DELIGHTSOME...Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS to come upon them (2 Nephi 5:21).&quot; 





THIS IS NOT OPINIONS THIS IS A LDS MORMON PROPHET SPEAKING ABOUT HOW HE KNOWS THE SEED OF CAIN CANT HAVE THE PRIESTHOOD BY QUOTING HIS MORMON SCRIPTURES!

...LDS President David O McKay in 1961 about the basis for the policy of restricting blacks from priesthood&quot;he replied that it rested solely on The Book of Abraham That is the only reason,he said It is founded on that &quot;(&quot;David O.McKay and Blacks,&quot;)

&quot;being of the lineage by which he could not have the right of PRIESTHOOD,(Abraham 1:26-27)&quot; 






THIS IS NOT OPINIONS THIS IS A LDS MORMON PROPHET SPEAKING ABOUT HOW HE KNOWS THE SEED OF CAIN ARE BLACK BY QUOTING HIS SCRIPTURES!

President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote,&quot;It was well understood by the early elders of the Church that the mark which was placed on Cain and which his posterity inherited was the black skin. The Book of Moses informs us that Cain and his descendants were black&quot; (The Way to Perfection,p.107).

&quot;...for the seed of Cain were BLACK...(Pearl of Great Price Moses 7:22)&quot;




AND JUST TO ADD IN A MORMON APOSTLE TALKING ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE TO THE WHITE MISSIONARYS 




LDS Mormon General Authority Alvin R. Dyer

 “...you may have often heard missionaries say it or have asked the question: Why is a Negro a Negro?...The reason that spirits are born into Negro bodies is because those spirits rejected the Priesthood of God in the pre-existence. This is the reason why you have Negroes upon the earth.

(“For What Purpose?,” a talk given by Alvin R. Dyer at the Missionary Conference in Oslo, Norway, March 18, 1961, printed in The Negro in Mormon Theology, pp. 48-58)


“...I want to talk to you a little bit now about something that is not missionary work, and what I say is NOT to be given to your investigators by any matter of means.... Why is it that you are white and not colored?...and not born a Chinese or a Hindu, or a Negro? Is God such an unjust person that He would make you white and free and make a Negro CURSED under the CURSING OF CAIN that he sould not hold the Priesthood...
( Alvin R. Dyer at the Missionary Conference in Oslo,Norway, March 18, 1961)




THEN A LDS CHURCH PAPER TALKING ABOUT BLACK SKIN IS BAD AND WHITE SKIN IS GOOD

“...A BLACK SKIN IS A MARK OF THE CURSE OF HEAVEN... Some, however, will argue that a black skin is not a curse...In fact, some have been so foolish as to believe and say that a black skin is a blessing, and that the negro is the finest type of a perfect man that exists on the earth; but to us such teachings are foolishness. We understand that when God made man in his own image and pronounced him very good, that he made him white...”
(LDS MORMON Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 3, page 157)




AND A MORMON PROPHET SAYING CAIN IS CURSED WITH BLACK SKIN

LDS MORMON PROPHET JOSEPH F. SMITH &quot;Not only was Cain called upon to suffer,but because of his wickedness he became the father of an inferior race. A curse placed upon him and that curse has been continued through his lineage and must do so while time endures.Millions of souls have come into this world cursed with a black skin and have been denied the privilege of Priesthood and the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel.These are the descendants of Cain...&quot; The Way to Perfection,pages 101-102.









THIS IS MORMON DOCTRINE THAT BLACK AFRICAN MEN THE SEED OF CAIN CAN NOT HOLD THE PRIESTHOOD IT IS FROM YOUR MORMON GOD!

1947 the First Presidency (supreme council) of the Church issued an Official Statement:

    &quot;From the days of the Prophet Joseph Smith even until now, it has been the doctrine of the Church, never questioned by Church leaders, that the Negroes are not entitled to the full blessings of the Gospel.&quot; (Statement of The First Presidency on the Negro Question, July 17 1947, quoted in Mormonism and the Negro, pp.46-7)

In 1949, The First Presidency issued the following statement:

    &quot;The attitude of the Church with reference to Negroes remains as it has always stood. It is not a matter of the declaration of a policy but of direct commandment from the Lord, on which is founded the doctrine of the Church from the days of its organization, to the effect that Negroes may become members of the Church but that they are not entitled to the priesthood at the present time.&quot; (The First Presidency on the Negro Question, 17 Aug. 1949)




THIS IS MORMON DOCTRINE THAT BLACK AFRICAN MEN THE SEED OF CAIN CAN COME DOWN TO EARTH AS NEGROES AND THAT HANDICAP KEEPS THEM FROM HOLDING THE PRIESTHOOD

Official Statement of First Presidency issued on August 17, 1951, reads:

    &quot;The position of the Church regarding the Negro may be understood when another doctrine of the church is kept in mind, namely, that the conduct of spirits in the pre-mortal existence has some determining effect upon the conditions and circumstances under which these spirits take on mortality, and that while the details of this principle have not been made known, the principle itself indicates that the coming to this earth and taking on mortality is a privilege that is given to those who maintained their first estate; and that the worth of the privilege is so great that spirits are willing to come to earth and take on bodies no matter what the handicap may be as to the kind of bodies they are to secure; and that among the handicaps, failure of the right to enjoy in mortality the blessings of the priesthood is a handicap which spirits are willing to assume in order that they might come to earth. Under this principle there is no injustice whatsoever involved in this deprivation as to the holding of the priesthood by the Negroes.....

&quot;Man will be punished for his own sins and not for Adam&#039;s transgression.  If this is carried further, it would imply that the Negro is punished or allotted to a certain position on this earth, not because of Cain&#039;s transgression, but came to earth through the loins of Cain because of his failure to achieve other stature in the spirit world.&quot;




THIS IS A MORMON PROPHET VERIFYING THE MORMON DOCTRINE THAT BLACKS DID SOMETHING WRONG IN THE pre-mortal existence and were PUNISHED FROM THE PRIESTHOOD

JOSEPH F. SMITH
    &quot;There is a reason why one man is born black and with other disadvantages, while another is born white with great advantage. The reason is that we once had an estate before we came here, and were obedient, more or less, to the laws that were given us there. Those who were faithful in all things there received greater blessings here, and those who were not faithful received less.... There were no neutrals in the war in heaven. All took sides either with Christ or with Satan. Every man had his agency there, and men receive rewards here based upon their actions there, just as they will receive rewards hereafter for deeds done in the body. The Negro, evidently, is receiving the reward he merits.&quot; Doctrines of Salvation, Volume 1, pages 66-67.
    
    

    &quot;That negro race, for instance, have been placed under restrictions because of their attitude in the world of spirits, few will doubt. It cannot be looked upon as just that they should be deprived of the power of the Priesthood without it being a punishment for some act, or acts, performed before they were born.&quot; The Way to Perfection, page 43.</description>

    &#8220;There is a reason why one man is born black and with other disadvantages, while another is born white with great advantage. The reason is that we once had an estate before we came here, and were obedient, more or less, to the laws that were given us there. Those who were faithful in all things there received greater blessings here, and those who were not faithful received less&#8230;. There were no neutrals in the war in heaven. All took sides either with Christ or with Satan. Every man had his agency there, and men receive rewards here based upon their actions there, just as they will receive rewards hereafter for deeds done in the body. The Negro, evidently, is receiving the reward he merits.&#8221; Doctrines of Salvation, Volume 1, pages 66-67.</p>
<p>    &#8220;That negro race, for instance, have been placed under restrictions because of their attitude in the world of spirits, few will doubt. It cannot be looked upon as just that they should be deprived of the power of the Priesthood without it being a punishment for some act, or acts, performed before they were born.&#8221; The Way to Perfection, page 43.</p>

		<description>I hope that this event will somehow change the climate of Northern Utah in the early Spring... I am sick and tired of the cold.</description>

		<description>I really do not care if anyone impeaches or validates my opinion. Tom Grover has this bizarre obsession with me, which may or not be sexual in nature---but is nonetheless bewildering. 

If any one person believes that the hyperbolic claims of enviromentalists, which become more dire as they are ignored year after year, then by all means turn over control of your lives to them. They will thank you.</description>

		<description>I very much doubt that the temple turning off its lights imply an agreement of anything climate related.  But the LDS Church does encourage being good stewards of the planet and I&#039;m sure would have no trouble with a symbolic gesture towards that end.  

&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-57718&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@Tom Grover&lt;/a&gt; 
Tom: It is hard to take him seriously, in that same link you provided Mr. Caines  &quot;finds the Mormon church offensive for an endowment film shown in the temple that heavily implied that all other churches are agents of Satan&quot;  but is willing to claim organized religion the biggest fraud.</description>

		<description>Neither Blake nor Harry supply any links or sourcing for such sweeping declarations of absolute knowledge.  Why are you guys letting the powers that be know you&#039;ve sorted this one out when the whole of the scientific community wasn&#039;t able to reach such a declarative consensus?  How irresponsible to keep your research genius under wraps, you two!

Mr. Grover did supply a link for his comment, and the sourcing there is pretty sound.  Proposal of impeachment of Mr. Caines views seconded by me.</description>

		<description>I think the LDS church is just taking the opportunity to conserve energy, not necessarily jump on board with Al Gore, who is a monsterous, pompous, bull frog.  If the climate is changing, then it&#039;s changing.  But it&#039;s not man made.  That idea is a hoax.</description>

		<description>Before anyone takes Mr. Caines seriously, remember that he impeached his views with his candid statement that Mormons are &quot;second class people&quot;.

		<description>An act of pious symbolism that accomplished only one goal: To see who is with and against the ALGORE crowd. This is eco-McCarthyism.

Given that organzied religion is the only fraud bigger than global warming, it does not surprise me if the Mormon church climned on board this spaceship to nowhere.</description>
