President visits Prophet

"Mr. President, the Prophet would like an interview with you.  Can you come down and meet with him, oh, say Thursday morning?"


http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_4271005#


"Bush's motorcade sped by the building's entrance at 47 E. South Temple, entering instead from an underground parking lot on North Temple. A group of onlookers waved at the train of passing cars. 
LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley greeted the U.S. president in his office, but neither the White House nor The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' spokespersons would confirm any details of the scheduled 40-minute meeting."


So, I don't want to wait until next general conference to find out what calling was extended - anyone here know?

The bible is full of leaders of nations consulting with the prophet.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that meeting!

Amen to that!  Wow.  I really wonder what President Hinckley would say given 40 minutes with the leader of our country. Just wow.

Probably something about the New World Order that so many are afraid of... Next thing you know, we'll have folks claiming Pres. Hinckley's in on the conspiracy...

There are those who would claim that, but hopefully not any that are in the church.
There are those who say that any organized religion is bad, because they get the tax break from the government. In their mind getting a tax exemption is the same thing as being subsidized by the government. I couldn't disagree more.
Jews are frequently blamed in conspiracy theories, but I don't think that jews tend to be conspiracists more than any other group out there. I actually think that jews, as a group, are great people.

Maybe Pres. Hinckley was filling Pres. Bush in on the whole Armaggedon scenario, and what the U.S.'s next move in the Middle East should be. :crosses fingers:

Wouldn't it be something if our current leader would actually take advice from the Lord's spokesman?

I suspect, however, that Bush is too much of a "Christian" to take anything a mormon leader says seriously. But that's just the cynic in me talking.

It is rather unfortunate that the religion would get blamed for the actions of select few individuals in that religion.  Just because the Rothschilds (aka the Robber Barons of the 1800s and 1900s) are Jewish doesn't mean the Jewish religion is in on the conspiracy, lol!


Yet it is a very interesting coincidence that 7 of the 8 major shareholders of the US Federal Reserve are Jewish, but it still says nothing of the Jewish religion at all.  The 8 shareholders are:



  • Rothschild Bank of London & Berlin

  • Warburg Bank of Hamburg & Amsterdam

  • Lehman Brothers of New York

  • Lazard Brothers of Paris

  • Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York  (this bank also funded the Communist Revolution through Jacob Schiff)

  • Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy

  • Goldman, Sachs of New York

  • Chase Manhattan Bank of New York  (the Rockefellers, who are not Jewish)

To answer in scriptural form, Revelations 2:9.


Now back to the original topic ... this is very good news, and I can only hope and pray that Bush will obey Hinckley's counsel.

Wouldn't it be neat if Pres. Hinckley gave Pres. Bush a priesthood blessing?

I heard of causing the deaf  to hear and the blind to receive their sight, but is there a cure for idiocy?

It could either be very helpful for Bush or very damning. If Bush were open to following the counsel of the Lord, then it would be wonderful. If he did not follow the counsel given, it would be counted against him as sin.
