Hello All!
As you might imagine; something must have upset me drastically to
send an email out to the majority of my contacts. Tonight, I went to
see "The Invention of Lying" by myself. I thought I would warn all of
you and hope that you in turn will warn those you know about this
movie. It has been taught to me in lesson after lesson that one person
can make a difference...well, I felt tonight that I would take the
chance of looking a bit obsessed if it meant that we could gather
as brothers and sisters to protect our children, our families, and our
friends from material such as this movie. Let me begin by telling you
all the premise of the movie:
It's a story of a world where no one lies (sounds innocent enough,
right). Well, this man lives in this place. Instead of lying, everyone
says everything they are thinking - no matter how unkind or cruel or
inappropriate it is. Then, the man loses his job and doesn't have
enough money to pay his rent. He goes to the bank and goes to withdraw
the last of his money but suddenly lies about the amount he has. The
bank claims error and gives him the money. So, then, the man has money
to pay his rent. Then he goes on a date with a beautiful girl, but she
claims to be out of his league. So, he lies again and tells everyone
that there's something they don't know about what happens after death
and that a man in the sky told him what really happens. Everyone wants
to hear, so they gather at his house to hear what he has to say. He
spends all night writing his "lie" out and then posts it on pizza boxes
like "tablets". He then delivers his speech to everyone and they all
start believing in the man in the sky, etc. But the girl, while loving
the man, decides to marry another. So, the man gives up and grows his
hair out long and grows a beard because he's lazy and drinks himself
into oblivion each day. All the while, he's teaching that the man in
the sky is talking to him - but it's all a lie to get the girl and be
rich. In the end, he does get the girl and the big house and all the
money he wants because he told this lie about the man in the sky.
The mockery the movie made of Heavenly Father, His plan, Our
Savior, and the Prophets was stomach turning for me. The onslaught of
ridicule that those who believe or even KNOW that Heavenly Father is
real and living, that this is His plan for his children was terrifying
throughout the entire movie from beginning to end. I was shocked, as
were many who saw the movie with me at the implications this movie is
suggesting...that it's all a lie told by a man for worldly gain.
I urge you all to refrain from supporting this movie. I am sorry
to say I made the mistake of going to see it, but wanted to give you
the warning that ultimately this is Satan's way of trying to convince
the world that all we hold dear is worth nothing. Not that Satan
doesn't have a thousand other ways, but that this is definitely one we
have the choice to stay away from.
Please accept my apologies for being so straight forward, however,
after watching the movie; I felt I had an obligation to all my brothers
and sisters to warn you of it, as I would hope you would do the same
for me. I have felt for the longest time that it is time, we, the
believers, take a stand for what is right. I mean no offense to anyone
and hope that this isn't taken in that light.

Ted Kennedy died today of brain cancer and he now believes in God.
Whether or not he believed before is no longer relevant because now
that he is dead, there is no doubt in his mind that there is a God and
Ted now realizes that he alone is responsible for everything single thing that he did in life, from his
unabashed liberal behavior and politics to the drowning of Mary Jo
Kopechne in the tide channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts,
after which he fled the scene of the crime.
(CNSNews.com) - Georgetown University says it covered over the
monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was
inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the
university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover
up all signs and symbols there.
