Although the church had told the members to conform to the Nazi regime, anyone who had truly read and studied the Book of Mormon should have known full well what tyranny truly was. This story is yet another prime example of how so many members seek the praise of the world, and in doing so, allow so much evil to fester in the process. When the day comes in the United States, when the heathen and degenerate secret combine that currently runs this nation demands an oath of allegiance, it will be interesting to see just how many members of the church, as well as the secular Christian world will go along with it. It is painful to see how Satan has perverted the meanings of the articles of faith, as well as sections in the Bible, such as Romans 13, to where members do not question anything. If there is any doubt to what I am saying, all one has to do is look at captin Moroni as an example. We tolerate so much from government now as it is, I don't believe people will put up much resistance to even more tyranny.

I, too was excited to hear that the missionary ages were moved down. Hubener's story is also a very touching one. But I feel the need to point out where the church was when this courageous youth was facing death. The church had announced before this incident that the people of Germany were to be upstanding citizens. In other words, the church told them to conform to the Nazi regime. The boys did not. In the days before the execution, Helmuth was excommunicated from the LDS church. Only after his death did they reinstate his membership saying it was a mistake. I am a proud member but it is still important to give the full story to honor those that it is about.
