Institute notes

If you do not remember a name just say John. :)

The next teacher is using a power point, my lectures are powerless and pointless.

If you were going to miss a lesson, this would have been the one.

Deliberation as is needed by the church where each opinion is considered so it is slow to make a unified stance, reminds me of of Ents.

Trial of tranqulity from the book trials shall give you experience.

Book this week. Called the book of the week, likely by the writer and publisher.

240 maps and graphical representations of fact of.

Mapingmormonism.buy.education perfect coffee table book.

102 not revelation but minutes of a meeting from organization of high counsel.

Living churcand we can through study of history see how it is fundamentally grown line upon line.

High counselor is not a counselman but a counselor, and cannot function without quorum.

More love then in disciplinary counsel, than even in the temple.

Reasons for discipline.
1) help people to repent
2) keep the church in line: the story about Bill O'reilly talking about his church and the lack of discipline caused.

Discipline means to teach not to punish.

Reitterated over and over how loving and helpful disciplinary counsels are.

People in Missouri were trying to be good, but they were being prepared and they needed more learning to live higher laws.

A group lead by Hyrum from Pontiac, MI.

Went to travel to relieve saints in Missouri.

A mob was disbanded by a storm.

Govenor could not hold true to his word to help after they did as asked.

In 105 united order is necessary way to function.

9 of the 12 apostles came from Zion's camp. It was a trial and a training.

Published books of information that will help provided the needed money, also used to build temple. But, the press was destroyed, so it could not become the Zion that was intended.

Debts were entered into but need to be repaid. Brigham Young paid all of Josephs incurred debts.

The Lord takes care of his own.

He blessed those who assist others.

Our wealth is tied up in places and people.

(I have heard that poor people are poor because they are Lazy and consecration seems to make people lazy, but I think this is true).

We need to humbly endure to the end, it is not enough to have been good for a while. And, no one knows when the end will come.

Early church did not have experienced members to call upon as leaders, but this is
Very much like the way the savior called people, do not put new wine in old vessels.

Church organization was not changed much from original architechture. Because inspiration comes from God (makes,me think of the king Follett discourses.)

If you do not learn but are slothful is not counted worthy.

We are not always most talented but are given opportunities to grow.

Each generation works harder than the previous.

Piano lessons or paper routes because not everyone lives on the farm.

Not right to assume that things should go well for you.

We need resistance to grow the needed spiritual muscles.

(Conflict seems to be a very popularly spoken of thing everyone can relate to.)

Everything.g is true in my notes, as far as it is translated correctly, reminds me of the ways that I am misunderstood, I was perfectly correct.

Not, a church of volunteers.

Amulek knew but would not know.

Young man, keeps all the commandments but doesn't think church is true. So told the story of companion who got in fights with companions, that boy never learned to work, but he needs help. The companion could not fast. He said he did not know his lesson, but he did know. His companion said that he did not know the church wad true. So did not teach. That boy wanted to go home, I do not want to ruin his mission. He wanted to die, he told him that there was an option better than death. These things have to be true or having a testimony was just a rouse. They decided to die together, they vowed to not eat.his companion knew something he felt something was true. The boy who wanted to go home was made a zone leader. And on his end of his missing he got to choose his companion, he chose that guy.

I can totally relate to wanting a personal story, but I am not sure I can endure what is required to get there. In his story the sacrifice was fasting.

(Not to detract from the spirit of Brother Poll's testimony that he bore regarding the truthfulness of the gospel which was powerful and convincing - it was obvious that he believed those things - but, I kept thinking that maybe that was the trouble with Nick. He never has worked at anything, so if a thing is difficult he avoids it and it's really bringing me down, and even if that wasn't so and he became the equivalent of a zone leader,
