NOM

My newsfeed says no.

I'd love to comment on it, but that would be "persecuting" people, right?

Please, for the love of Easter bunnies, people stop adding me to your fasting/MLM/whatever groups. I don't invite you to my stuff I know you're not interested in.

Matt 6:16 anyone?

Statistically, it won't matter either way as far as the desired outcome of any improvements across the world or personally.

How many souls does it take to get action - I think individuals fasted, then our local ward had a fast, then our stake, then the whole church, now our church combining with all faiths......will it be enough? There must be a magic number needed to get the almighty's attention? So possibly FB is needed in order to get the numbers up to the threshold for action.

On a personal note, I haven't been on this site for a few months, but I've always loved your posts Glass Shelf - along with others here - it's good to have a place to come and get some laughs.

No I don’t believe you are persecuting them. Please tell people the truth, that Mormon Inc has $124 B + about 100B more in real estate. Tell them NOT to give their hard earned $ to them, but to give to real charities who need it right now. And to save for their own “rainy day” fund like
the church does.

I am hardly on FB anymore, and I’ve unfollowed most of my Mormon friends who gush about gen con etc. But if I get an invite to something like that I am so angry after conference that I am going to say something.

Good to hear from you SIWL!

It seems to me that one really good faster should be able to do the job. Maybe the leader of the the one true church or something.

No. Nothing seems to count in Mormonism at an institutional level unless there is some press that can come out of it, and nothing counts on an individual level without being able to brag about it on Facebook or at fast and testimony meeting.

So much for praying in closets in secret and not doing alms before men. Reminds me of a childhood friend who I invited on a hike and it turned out he was fasting but still went anyway without telling me until I offered him water. That's true suffering for the cause.

I fasted and didn’t post it on Facebook. If I did, it would have read “After a delicious lunch, I spent the rest of my day and late into the night working in my garage. When I went to bed, I realize I had fasted since lunch, and having skipped two meals, dinner and supper, I dreamed of what I would eat for breakfast. Leave Coronavirus!”

I wonder about a God that likes his children to go hungry. Why is it constant sacrifice and begging to get Gods attention? These are characteristics we would condemn in ourselves yet we constantly ascribe them to a loving God.

In my world god will not intervene. He may give direction even inspiration to achieve an outcome but there will be no magic. We have to work things out.
