First, a brief miscellany of links related to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
“The willful ignorance of Jonathan Neville”
I have to admit that this second one absolutely amazes me, too:
“Heartland site in Palmyra refers people to anti-Mormon website”
I posted a link to this story a few days ago, but I’m not sure that the video was there at the time. I any event, I didn’t see it. Now, though, having seen it, I like it and I would like others to be aware of it:
From the non-Latter-day Saint news-analysis site Get Religion: “What does faith have to do with it? Romney is on a moral crusade, for some vague reason”
And, finally, there’s this important piece that was first published back on 25 March 2015:
“I’m Tolerant of All Religions, Except the One I Was Raised With”

And now two quotations from previous members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — Elder Kimball also served in the First Presidency, as a counselor to Brigham Young — on related subjects:
Let me say to you, that many of you will see the time when you will have all the trouble, trial and persecution that you can stand, and plenty of opportunities to show that you are true to God and his work. This Church has before it many close places through which it will have to pass before the work of God is crowned with victory. The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand? (Heber C. Kimball [1801-1868])
How can you and I really expect to glide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ (Neal A. Maxwell [1926-2004])
