Most things that you have to be old to take a stroke but that are not the case at all. It can happen to anyone at any time and it is so important to make sure that you are completely ready with the right knowledge so that you are protecting your body and others from the possibility of having a stroke

If you’ve read the Book of Mormon, you know he sometimes does.

What is unspeakably arrogant on the part of Mr. Robertson is that he claims authority to proclaim just what the Lord is doing and why. You’ll notice that President Hinckley has studiously declined to identify recent natural disasters as divine punishments. He’s the one who WOULD have authority to make such a proclamation, if there were one to be made.

One of my Primary girls was just baptized and her name is Ariel and her gramma is named Sharon and that was how I read it… goes to show you can’t always go by what you read :)

To imply that God punishes individuals in this way. He doesn’t. Robertson might be a might surprised at the judgement.

Robertson is the lowest form of life, and would say anything to justify his own existence.

The sad thing is that many people listen to him and actually believe what he says…

Scary.
