All over we're starting to pray to jesus and develope that personal relationship of prayer. This is very contrary to the doctrine. We pray to God the father. This is the only proper way to pray. He holds those keys so to speak.
This makes it more important now that OW wants to pray to mother in heaven. It is not proper. By addressing it like they did it stopped it through out the church.
BTW. I was in brother paces class the next hour after the devotional. He stood in front of the class and said "I was wrong" and said that if anyone had any questions he would go over the text of the Bruce R talk with them, explain where he was wrong hand help them understand.
He responded like he should and it taught me a lot about religious and doctrinal speculation and conjuncture...., it's ok to do but when you are wrong you get in line and don't fight it. If you can't play by these rules don't do it
Brother pace was a great man and example throughout this time
