There are at least five reasons why our Church leaders have urged us to avoid gambling and to fight this evil practice in our communities. First, gambling weakens the ethics of work, industry, thrift, and service—the foundation of national prosperity—by holding out the seductive lure of something for nothing. By the same token, gambling encourages idleness, with all of its resulting bad effects for society. President Joseph F. Smith, sixth president of the Church, gave this emphasis to the importance of the ethic of work in the gospel of Jesus Christ: “We do not feel that it is possible for men to be really good and faithful Christian people unless they can also be good, faithful, honest and industrious people. Therefore, we preach the gospel of economy, the gospel of sobriety. We preach that the idler shall not eat the bread of the laborer, and that the idler is not entitled to an inheritance in Zion.”6 President Stephen L Richards of the First Presidency (1879–1959) said that gambling “proceeds upon the assumption that one has to lose for another to gain.” He then declared that the element of chance in gambling leads those who indulge in it to believe that chance is the controlling and dominant influence in life. “And so obsessed do some people become with it that they cannot contemplate or think of any other way in which to increase their means and their income except by taking the chance that gambling affords.”7 A second evil of gambling is that it promotes greed and covetousness and inevitably involves and encourages the base practice of overreaching and taking from one’s neighbor. A Methodist minister, Lycurgus M. Starkey, Jr., of the St. Paul School of Theology in Kansas City, Missouri, concluded an attack on gambling with words that every Latter-day Saint should recognize as familiar doctrine: “The good Christian’s love of neighbor will stand against every practice which hinders the growth of the human spirit toward the likeness of Christ or which breaks down the structures of justice in society. The Christian will himself refrain from gambling and from publicly endorsing it in any form, realizing that gambling is detrimental to the purpose of life as revealed in Jesus Christ.”8 A third evil of gambling is its tendency to corrupt the participant. We are all familiar with cases in which trusted employees have ruined their lives and brought disgrace and tragedy upon themselves and their families by stealing their employer’s money. All too often the sordid story is traceable to a desperate attempt to pay gambling debts or to finance further gambling activities. The temptations of the gambler are such that persons in responsible positions in government and private industry will not hire or retain as employees those who are known to gamble. In recounting the undesirable side effects of gambling, mention must also be made of the fact that gambling is often accompanied by indulgence in alcohol and other vices. A fourth disadvantage, one cited by persons not concerned with the moral effects of gambling, is the extraordinary waste of time involved in it. Those who while away their hours gambling frequently do so to the neglect of family and work. Time wasted in gambling becomes more significant when we reflect that many persons who indulge in gambling become addicted to it. The late Elder Richard L. Evans of the Council of the Twelve (1906–1971) made this statement: “The spirit of gambling is a progressive thing. Usually it begins modestly; and then, like many other hazardous habits, it often grows beyond control. At best it wastes time and produces nothing. At worst it becomes a ruinous obsession and fosters false living by encouraging the futile belief that we can continually get something for nothing.”9 The fifth and final condemnation of gambling follows from other disadvantages already discussed. Whenever we as Latter-day Saints engage in any kind of conduct that is inconsistent with the companionship of the Spirit of the Lord, we pay an enormous price. Left without the sustaining influence of that Spirit, we are vulnerable to temptation, prone to criticize, and subject to being tossed to and fro and buffeted by the forces of the world and the works of the evil one. There can be no question that gambling dulls the spiritual sensitivities of those who participate in it. In that terrible effect we may identify gambling’s most far-reaching and evil influence. Elder John A. Widtsoe of the Council of the Twelve (1872–1952) gave vivid expression to this thought: “They who gamble, who walk with chance, suffer degeneration of character; they become spiritually flabby; they end as enemies of a wholesome society. A gambling den, however beautifully housed, is the ugliest place on earth. The tense participants live in a silence broken only, over the tables, by the swish of the wings of darkness. There is an ever-present brooding spirit of horror of an unknown evil. It is the devil’s own home.”10 What I have said about gambling should be understood to include playing cards for money, betting on horses and athletic contests (including office pools on the world series), casino gambling in all its forms, lotteries, raffles, bingo for money, and dice. I further suggest that the same spirit of gambling, the same reckless wagering on the chance turn of events, characterizes some forms of investments. The same evils that attend a throw of the dice for money can attend the person who casually puts his money on a highly speculative stock or commodity investment. I know of no better test in this area than that suggested by President Joseph F. Smith, who remarked: “The element of chance enters very largely into everything we undertake, and it should be remembered that the spirit in which we do things decides very largely whether we are gambling or are entering into legitimate business enterprises.”11 |

What i am about to reveal to you is one of the guaranteed way of making money online this year. All you need is just consistent work on social media and you will start seeing the rewards sooner. This is a no brainer, if you have a product or service to sell, and you find ingenious ways to promote on social media, you will make money. But then,which social media is the fastest growing right now, and very dynamic in how you can make money with it? I will say, it's Instagram. That is the hottest place at this moment where all the big brands go to engage with their customers. Services and Business targeting fashion, food, cars, music are making it big over there. Well, for you to become a big brand on instagram is not a child's play, you will have to work hard for it. This is the reason why i like instagram because you really have to engage to be able to make sales, this means even when people do use bots, you must still have to engage in the community to break even. You will understand as you read on. But you just want to make money with instagram, and you are thinking if there is a much faster way. Yes, there is. Let me show you how you can get started right away. Instagram is the fastest way to grow your brand right now. Its also the fastest dynamic way to make money,for example, with cpa marketing. It is easy to open an instagram account, edit your profile, start posting pictures and start growing your community. Yes, normal social media activities will steadily grow your popularity, but you also need to know the required strategies to actually get directly to the potential customer and close the sales. First is deciding what niche you want to fit in. More in a realistic way, i would call it your passion, but should still qualify for a niche. E.g Coupons. If your passion is about giving out rewards of free gifts to people then this can be a niche to work with. You now create an account with a username like "thecouponking". To make the account standard, you will have to edit description,and include your website in the profile bio. There are great niches you can take on like fitness, food, sport gears, cars, teen, latest gadgets, fashion, music and some more. Ok. Before you even start bringing in traffic, you will need to make some posts. Instagram updates are only about pictures and videos. That means you need to get some high quality photos about your niche. There are methods you can use to get stock pictures for free, and they would be enough to get you started. Don't just go to google images and start lifting pictures. Then its time to think of your approach to getting traffic. You must first find the cpa offer which will convert the most for your choosen niche. Using the coupon niche above, i would find a cpa offer like the "Get Free $150 Amazon gift card" in maxbounty for example. After getting your cpa offer link, then you have to decide how you wan't the link to be: will you build a landing page, collect leads and redirect to it? or buy a domain and do direct redirection? Both approaches are better, but if you are looking to bank in short term, then domain redirection would do, while you will lose leads. After fixing your domain, edit your profile and insert your website in the url field. If you have your bio description checked, name and website field checked, then you are basically set to go.

KingyKing:I don't know if i should still feel sorry for you guys.. Because the level of lazyness and stupidity you guys portray is out of this world Even the first idiots in the First century A.D would be jealous of how you guys reason. So if you had N2million in there, you would not be matched until you provide another help again? What is the guarantee you will even get the payment from the matched person, even after you provide help with another money to this scam,everyone is rushing to get out their money and say goodbye to this scam for good. And then you want to keep on sending your money to these mmm scammers? |
The OP has not even made that much per day so he has nothing to prove other than rewriting info from other threads. To make it with Instagram and CPA usually takes a little time. If you want to go the long route then you would have to build up your page, posting pics and stuff. But if you want to go the short route, then follow users who are followers of your target niche. Then you will have to build your profile well, profile pic - description and indirect linking of cpa url to a domain. You will need to follow more than 300 users to 500 daily and keep at it continuously everyday. If you do that by hand, you will gas out quickly so you need a software to automate this for you. The learning curve is not a fast one, to be honest with you. But if you want to learn faster, i can guide you through - whatsapp 07052463115 To be sincere, if you are looking for fast cash, bro, this is not for you. |

Propaganda. I think the FG should arrest some of these journalists and editors to give up their sources, and where they got the purported video. There is no video, some people are trying to hard to derail the defeat of boko haram terrorists |
