In Mormonism this “truth test” can best be summarized by Moroni 10:4-5, “And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would a ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not b true and if ye shall ask with a c sincere heart, with d real intent, having e faith in Christ, he will f manifest the g truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. Lyndon talks about how the “truth test” in Mormonism is unreliable. I mentioned him earlier when I posted a link to the recording of his excommunication. ![]() He was excommunicated from the LDS church for sharing freely the things he felt the church was hiding: ugly aspects of church history and religion. I recently was reminded of this issue in the book Standing for Something More by Lyndon Lamborn. I’ve already discussed this a little bit, but I wanted to talk about one particular “big picture” issue I am struggling with. The more time goes by, the less most church history issues bother me, but the more some of what I would term “bigger picture” issues trouble me. ![]()

Elizabeth Gaskell died suddenly in 1865 and was buried at Knutsford. She also authored a well-known biography of her friend, Charlotte Brontë. Her most acclaimed novels include Cranford and the unfinished Wives and Daughters. It also drew the admiration of Charles Dickens, who invited her to submit stories to his periodicals, Household Words and All the Year Round. Her first novel, Mary Barton (1848), drew attention to the plight of Manchester’s working poor. ![]() ![]() ![]() She turned to writing as a distraction from her grief. Elizabeth had four daughters, though her only son died of scarlet fever at nine months of age. They settled in the rapidly growing industrial city of Manchester, where Elizabeth engaged in relief work among the poor and taught Sunday school. Her mother died a little more than a year after Elizabeth’s birth, so the infant Elizabeth was sent to the country town of Knutsford, Cheshire, to be raised by her aunt, Hannah Lumb, whom she later described as “more than mother.” Elizabeth married William Gaskell, a Unitarian minister, in 1832. Her parents had eight children, but Elizabeth, the last born, was one of only two who survived.

It took a long time for Roddy Doyle to be accepted in his own country as a ‘serious’ writer. The Woman Who Walked into Doors by Roddy Doyle ![]() ![]() ![]() Most humans living in society experience huge stress and anxiety in the working environment, indicating that working stress is common in the current social system. In social life, humans frequently encounter a wide variety of stressful conditions. In conclusion, these results indicate that ASMR sound reduces the mental stress induced by mental workload. ![]() When applying ASMR sound, alpha- and gamma-band activity under the induction of mental workload by mental tasks was restored to the level of the resting condition. ![]() ![]() Our results showed a significant decrease in alpha-band activity and a significant increase in gamma (high beta)-band activity under the induction of mental workload by mental tasks compared to the resting condition. We investigated the effect of ASMR on the mental workload induced by mental tasks by the evaluation of EEG activation patterns in normal subjects. In the present study, we focused on autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) sound, which is known to improve the human mental condition through its comforting and relaxing effects. Investigations into monitoring mental stress and reducing stressful conditions are, therefore, important for its prevention. Stress is divided into physical stress and mental stress the latter is induced by heavy mental workloads and has become a huge social problem, leading to mental disorders and possibly suicide in the worst scenario. Humans frequently encounter these stressful situations in social life. In a social environment, various types of stress can be overwhelming. ![]() ![]() ![]() Leslie Lehr thanked her for doing Stand Up To Cancer.
