tubaloth Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ok lets say you are on a Deserted Island... Okay you have your scriptures and manuals and all the normal stuff. But you could only take one talk, be it General Conference, BYU devotional talk or what ever other talk that has been published. You could only take one talk with you, which one would it be?

bytor2112 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Gene England's "Why the Church is as True as the Gospel" Why the Church Is As True As the Gospel |"We are the ones who must constantly remind ourselves that the Church is not a place to go for comfort, to get our own prejudices validated, but a place to comfort others, even to be afflicted by them. It is a revealed and effec*tive opportunity to give—to learn and experience the meaning of the Atonement and its power to change us through uncon*ditional love. It is a place where we have many chances to re*pent and forgive—if, for a change, we can focus on our own failings and the needs of others to grow through their and our imperfect efforts."- Gene EnglandMost excellent!!

brycematheson Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 His Grace is Sufficient - Brad WilcoxI'm sure many of you have read this already, and if not, READ IT.

Lakumi Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 WILSON!!!!!!! WHY HAVEN'T YOU CLEANED UP THE HUSKS WILSON!?!?!?!?!!!!!! WILSON!!! you know I saw at a flea market someone had made these neat plaques with bible verses on them, but they weren't very detailed, I should make one, but paint it, all the words and little flowers, with a saying or verse on it (while the subject is here) though with the poem I like, it'd be more picture sized and probably best on paper vs wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSG Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Probably something on basic raft building from one of the Backwoodsman Magazine conferences. You didn't specify that it had to be a talk published by the Church Of course, considering that "all the normal stuff" for me would mean I have it all on my Nook, there just might be a book on simple boat building in there already.

MarginOfError Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is there a talk that tells me how to desalinate water? Because if I am stranded on a desert island, I can't think of anything more useless than a conference talk. At least the scriptures are useful fire starter (the lds scripture pages are so thin that they would ignite easily under a magnifying glass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's inefficient, but works in a bind. Solar reflection can be used in a similar manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
