Practical completion is a state of affairs in which the works have been completed free from patent defects, other than ones to be ignored as trifling We were discussing Job, and his whole story about how God gave Satan permission to take away everything he has. Our teacher told us how his wife lost faith in God, and then she said “I don’t know what would be worse: having a spouse die faithful or live and lose their faith.” This basically is telling all members with exmo spouses that their spouses would be better off dead. … Encyclopedia of Mormonism - Apostate are not loved by the Lord, Angels, or Saints and are despised by Satan

Apostates sometimes become enemies of the Church. Leaving the Church, which claims to be God’s official church, containing the fulness of the gospel, often results in feelings of guilt. While many return, others develop a need to defend their actions, “disprove” the Church, or become hostile enemies. The fruits of apostasy are generally bitter. Such apostates seek, in all dispensations, to bring destruction on the innocent and to shed innocent blood, or consent thereto. For such, I again repeat, I know no forgiveness. To say, as a parent, “I won’t force my kids to go to church. I’ll let them decide on their own.” sounds so enlightened. But its the most dangerous thing a parent could say. It would be safer for you to let your children play on the highway in rush hour traffic than to let them decide whether or not they wanted to go to church. One of those options carries temporary consequences (if you let your child play on the highway in rush hour traffic they will die); and the other carries potential eternal consequences.These circumstances are often described collectively as a novus actus interveniens. Novus Actus Interveniens

Teachings of Presidents of the Church, Brigham Young Chapter 12: Preventing Personal Apostasy left because they get into darkness The potential for questions in this area is clear. You must be aware of the distinction between Jordan and Smith for practical questions. Also, consider whether you think the Jordan or Smith approach is better. Is it possible for them to be reconciled? But whoso breaketh this covenant after he hath received it, and altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world to come.

Factual causation is often alternatively known as ‘but for’ causation. The question that is asked is whether ‘but for’ the defendant’s actions, the harm to the victim would have occurred. In R v White [1910] 2 KB 124, the defendant laced his mother’s bedtime drink with potassium cyanide. When the mother was found dead the following morning, the defendant was charged with her murder. It subsequently came to light however, that the defendant’s mother had actually had very little of the drink and that her death was coincidental. The result was that the defendant could not be considered to have caused the death and was only guilty of attempted murder. The general position in respect of acts of victims is that an individual should be held responsible for acts that they undertake freely. In R v Kennedy(No 2)[2007] UKHL 38, for example, it was held that a person who provided another will a syringe containing heroin could not be held liable when the victim injected themselves with it. This was because the act of injection was carried out freely and therefore broke the chain of causation from the act of providing the drug. The defendant would have only been liable if the drug was jointly administered, meaning the conduct was not solely the victims. potentially implied] Drugs, drink, pornographic materials, and subculture associations are also escape routes. …Shun those who would build themselves by destroying others. Religion professor at BYU I claimed in class today that his exmo sibling is “working for Satan” because this sibling tries to engage in rational discussions about the veracity of the church

No doubt you can,” said his spouse, laughing outright, and approaching him with a merry air, she clapped her hands so firmly over his eyes that he was completely blindfolded, “now can you see?” exclaimed she. When the Prophet had ended telling how he had been treated, Brother Behunin remarked: ‘If I should leave this Church I would not do as those men have done: I would go to some remote place where Mormonism had never been heard of, settle down, and no one would ever learn that I knew anything about it.’ The most frequent causes of apostasy are failure to maintain strict standards of morality, taking personal offense (real or perceived), marrying someone who is of another faith or who is irreligious, neglecting to pray and maintain spirituality, or misunderstanding of the teachings of the Church. More than at any time in our history, your students also need to be blessed by learning doctrinal or historical context and context by study and faith accompanied by pure testimony so they can experience a mature and lasting conversion to the gospel and a lifelong commitment to Jesus Christ. Mature and lasting conversion means they will ‘stay in the boat and hold on’ throughout their entire lives. Avoiding Personal Apostasy Ensign, June 2009, By Elder Claudio D. Zivic have become entangled in the mists of darknessAnd also that God hath set his hand and seal to change the times and seasons, and to blind their minds, that they may not understand his marvelous workings; that he may prove them also and take them in their own craftiness; He immediately got mad and told me he would disown me and will have nothing to do with me if I leave the church. He continued by saying I won’t go to heaven and I won’t be with the family. Come try, then!” replied her husband sportively, taking what she said as the mere prelude to some little innocent matrimonial frolic; “come try then, my dear. I believe I can see as far into a millstone as most people.” Well THANK YOU LDS CHURCH for convincing my parents that it would be better if I had died. Sounds like the true church of Jesus Christ to me. It is advisable if procuring a building, that employers ensure the requirements for practical completion are made explicitly clear so that arguments as to what is required/not for required for practical completion are minimised.

Perhaps a preferable stratagem, Your Grace, might be to harry him amid-ships as he leaves the Mediterranean. LDS scripture, leaders, lesson manuals, and other material published by the Church speak fairly extensively about those who leave the Church and apostasize (leaving the Church seems generally synonymous with apostasy). Some of this communication is direct, while other communication is more indirect (i.e., requires some modest inference to apply to former members). The Scriptural Precedent Daniel Tyler recalled: “Soon after the Prophet’s arrival in Commerce (afterwards Nauvoo) from Missouri prison, Brother Isaac Behunin and myself made him a visit at his residence. His persecutions were the topic of conversation. He repeated many false, inconsistent and contradictory statements made by apostates, frightened members of the Church and outsiders. He also told how most of the officials who would fain have taken his life, when he was arrested, turned in his favor on forming his acquaintance. He laid the burden of the blame on false brethren. … Conflicts between Church members can also lead to apostasy. Faultfinding can be another source of personal apostasy. When we look for faults in others or begin to think we could make better decisions than our leaders, we should remember the experience of Oliver Cowdery, the second elder of the Church…Stoke! Muzzle! Wrench! "Congratulations on choosing the Armstrong Whitworth four-pounder cannonette.
