What's the De-Neutralize Zone?

I guess some explanantion is in order as to the title of my blog -- the DeNeutralize Zone?

I believe that the prophets have clearly stated that it will be the elders of Israel who will step forward to help save the Constitution.

However, many of the prophecies referring to America's preservation are conditional. That is, if we do our duty we can be preserved, and if not, then we shall be destroyed. This means that a good deal of the responsibility lies with the Priesthood of this Church as to what happens to America and as to how much tragedy can be avoided if we act now.

I believe if we would do our homework and were faithful, we could step forward right now and help save this country. The sad fact is; most of us are unprepared to do it. And why are so unprepared? Sadly, I believe sadly that the devil has concentrated his effort, to a large extent successfully, in neutralizing much of the priesthood.

How has he accomplished this? Well, there are two unrighteous ways to deal with the numerous prophetic statements of warning: you can fight them or you can ignore them. Either course brings disaster in the long run.

I believe that by and large, most of the priesthood doesn't fight against the prophets warnings; rather, they simply ignore them. This site will be a place to analyze some of the fallacies and lies that Satan uses to deceive us, to lull us to sleep. Here are a few of them I can list right off: (In a future post, I intend to address them each individually and in depth, and why I believe they are lies)

We haven't really received much instruction about freedom.
baloney

I'm too involved in other Church work.
manage time better

I want to be loved by everyone. The freedom battle is too controversial. I might be accused of engaging in politics .
this didn't fly in the war in heaven

I'll wait until it becomes popular to do, or at least until everybody in the Church agrees on what should be done.
you might wait till heck freezes over

It might hurt my business or my family. I'll let others save the country -- they aren't as busy as me.
I'm glad George Washington didn't say this

As long as we are righteous, the Lord will protect us, whereas the world is so corrupt and heading toward destruction at such a pace that we can't stop it, so why try.
this is "carnal security" see 2 Nephi 28:21

There's no need to do anything in the fight for freedom until the Church sets up its own specific program to save the Constitution.
might never happen. "Be not compelled in all things"

I will admit, that there are times when #6 gets to me. When I get feeling overwhelmed, and that there's nothing I personally can do to stave off the constant onslaught of wickedness, war, homosexuality, divorce, immorality, violence, etc. etc. I sometimes feel like 'calling it quits' as far as any efforts to 'save the world, if only a little', and just clam up and climb into a safe little shell of making sure my own family is righteous, that I'm doing my church calling, and the Lord will protect us, and the rest of the world be damned. But I truly believe the prophets have warned us that we *must* stand and warn our neighbors (see previous post).

But I digress. Back to the title. Basically, most of the Priesthood has been lulled to sleep and **neutralized** by Satan's deceptions. This blog is for quotes and other tidbits that I hope will help others to AWAKE and de-neutralize.
