SABBATH





The Seventy came over again January 1st . It was a Sunday. He served himself and me Communion and we studied the Inspired Version, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants, plus I asked him a lot of questions.



I went to a church twice the week of January 7.

On Tuesday, January 3d, the day of the church's meal and Bible study, Dad had given me a ride there and a church sister gave me a ride home.

MONDAY



Less than a half hour before 2:12 a.m. on January 23, 2012 I dreampt that I was sitting in a Community of Christ congregation, and behind me someone stood up and spoke under the influence of the Spirit. While that person spoke I felt God's Spirit very, very strongly, but since I was in a CoC congregation I thought I might not be feeling God's



Spirit but some other spirit. I decided that it wasn't the Spirit of the Lord I was feeling and said “It's not the Spirit,” but God's Spirit remained heavily upon me as I sat and thought.

Then I thought, 'maybe it could be the Spirit,' and asked to see a copy of the message. At first the priesthood man said “not now,”[or something to that effect] but I insisted and he started to give me a very abbreviated version with only a few lines, but I saw the whole thing in a desk [or other piece of furniture], which was scrawled most sloppily. I obtained it somehow and read it. It seemed like whoever took the notes added to them and something [probably more than one thing] that the Lord had said was missing: that we were supposed to continue worshiping in the Methodist style. I asked several members of the congregation if they remembered that and one black woman said she did. Then I was so happy and proclaimed to the entire congregation that God spoke to all groups of the Restoration – the Restoration Branch Movement, the JCRB, etc., and he spoke to all Christian groups, whether it be the Wesleyans, etc. Then my dream ended, and when I woke I felt the Holy Spirit burning in my heart.

THURSDAY



I am 29 years old. I am still young. I have to develop my mind more. I still have lots to learn.

Right now my spirit is still growing, though my body, though still very youthful in appearance, is no longer in its prime. I have nothing to boast of.

Yet God, the Infinite and Eternal One, in his unsearchable wisdom, chooses to use me. Lord, I cannot thank you, praise you and bless you enough for this!

Today I fasted, prayed, studied, went to a church which although it is not the true church, must needs suffice for the time being, and discovered fantastic truth and read the Book of Abraham and studied the facsimiles and their explanations (at home) for the first time.



"The Other Bible" has much good and much bad. It is not for the new Believer. I enjoyed, in it, what I read of the excerpted Haggadah (The Original, not really part of the Kabbalah).

UNDATED, PUT UNDER OCTOBER


We receive those circumstances that reflect the thoughts we secretly harbor.



Sheba is probably, might be, modern Yemen.





Psalms 42-83 are addressed in the Hebrew Text to Elohim rather than to Jehovah!



Those were notes on TV watching.

TUESDAY





Excerpts from first log (04/16/2013-05/04/2013)







Tuesday, 4/16/2013……..



10:13p.m. Continued watching TV. EWTN[.]



writings concerning religious



expression in the arts.



Architecture, music, poetry, painting, etc.



Michaelangelo [Michelangelo] made a statue of



Moses.



This man claims that they the Catholics



don’t worship statues. I know that



they kiss them. And they have statues



of every saint (or most many of



them.)



Now he’s claiming that the Catholic



church never tried to keep the Bible



out of the hands of the lay people.



I know that’s a lie.



Mike Muzzerol used to be a Catholic……….



Mike was told by a priest when he



brought a Bible to him to be



blessed, a Bible with the Vatican



seal, he was told, “What are



you doing with this?... /\/\/\/



I’ll tell you what you need to



know.” or something to that



effect. And his is not an



isolated case. Never stopped



watching TV.



Like the Mormons, the Catholic



church spins their history.



The RLDS holds nothing back. We



are honest about the mistakes made



in the past and we are not afraid



of the truth.

WEDNESDAY                                  

Approx. 11:59p.m.-12:08a.m. Putting groceries

away and listening to EWTN. Good

divorce advice. Also discussed a saint,

Constantine’s mother. Drinking pint of chocolate milk.

12:09a.m ………..Daily Mass is on EWTN[.]………

12:19a.m. put Red out. The priest just kissed

the Bible after reading X it and singing in Latin.

I admit I’ve hugged the Scriptures before

but I don’t think it’s right to kiss them.

One thing I like about the Roman Catholic church

is that the church is always open.

12:26a.m. let Red in

……..

12:30 a.m. – 12:30 a.m. [likely 12:26 a.m-12:30a.m.]

Finished putting groceries and bags

away, finished chocolate milk.

Father Wade Menezes is giving the sermon.

12:30- 12:3 1:32 a.m. (approx.) Watched TV.

approx. 12:38 a.m. My stepmother called me to tell me

to bring the dog in.

Catholic Christians believe they have the

fulness of truth.

That^\’s/\ the first time I have ever

heard the term ‘lay apostle’.

It is a misunderstanding of Scripture.

All The laity are not apostles.

The scriptures say [Christ] “in

whom [Christ] we have apostleship….”

but that is talking about those

with the holding of apostle, not

the Members. non-priesthood

Members.





They’re using fermented wine

diluted with water. The priest

ceremoniously washed his hands. That

part may be legit, for the priests

in Moses’ day had a laver to

wash in. Also I like the burning

of candles, which we did once in

Israel’s Gathering Restoration Branch.

The ringing of bells during service.

They rang them while the priest prayed

the transubstantiation prayer.

They It rang before and after he said it,

and a third time after the prayer

for the wafer sun god wafer .and wine.

The bishop of the church is called Robert.

FRIDAY



Today is the first day of writing in my second computer journal. Really it’s my third but the one I wrote on the netbook I had for a few days doesn’t really count.

I went out with my Dad to lunch and then did a lot of walking today. I also drank a lot of lemonade today. Today was a nice day.



Back from church. Every sin has its origin in our heart.

I walked to and from the Library today and checked out 3 books. I have 7 books checked out. See documents on Cicero and on A Divine Revelation of Heaven. The other book I took out today is The Rage Against God: How atheism led me to faith. (I didn't finish Rage Against God til many years later) I turned on my TV today around 6p.m. and took notes on SonLife Broadcasting Network and Catholic television Network.
