EPHRAIM SIGNAL +++ एप्रैम सिग्नल : THE STICK OF EPHRAIM OR JOSEPH A record of one group from the tribe of Ephraim that was led from Jerusalem to America about 600 B.C.

Welcome !

The Mormon Church - LDS - Rich and Powerful - Worldwide Presence - a strong Missionary Volunteer Force - Impressive and Captivating - I was just drawn to it I took everything too serious and at face value for far too long - but life is not a nice fairytale and I paid a heavy price for it ... When life is gray and you are promised a more meaningful higher life (it costs you 10 Percent of your total monthly income) be a part of a higher purpose - marriages and sealings for all eternity ... The General Authorities are living a comfortable life ! - the Missionaries have to save for their mission ...
Always a special time when meeting Pres.Hunter at HDQ in Salt Lake City or BYU Jerusalem	I saw myself as "Watchman in Zion" beholding the signs of the times, the winds of war, something big in the making .... Jerusalem - Salt Lake City - LDS Headquarters - VIP - a deep connection to President Hunter and the Holy Land .... it was overwhelming while it lastet but I was never a devout Mormon and chore teachings never made really sense to me ! My biggest mistake was to take everything too serious and at face value for far too long - and I payed a heavy price for it ! .....
From my personal notes - while still in "Mormon Mode from 1975" Conflict and domestic difficulties mark the coming years due to my church involvement Aug 1984 - turning point - a visit to Germany and death of my father make me kneel again and pray - I remain a loner, LDS life in Israel just goes on without me, except for the ..... - wonderful friends, that also includes the ...... 1985-1988 - BYU Center construction - supervised by my good friend Fred A. Schwendiman May 1989 - Pres Howard W Hunter dedicates the new BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies Oct 1989 - Finally - the long dreamed of trip to UTAH takes place. we have a wonderful time with our friends Apr 1991 - General Conference - Salt Lake City Feb 1992 - Another special and important visit to Salt Lake City - celebrating my 44th birthday, visiting my good friends, meet with Pres Hunter and Spencer J. Palmer the author of Mormons & Muslims, he presents me with his book "Religions of the World" and writes : Happy Birthday - May the Lord be with you in your commendable work - Spencer Palmer - Feb 1992. 1993-1995 - further visits follow, the saddest being April 1995, my good friends had passed away, LeRoy on 18.Feb and Eva on 22 Mar. , also Pres Howard W. Hunter had died just weeks before on 3 March 1995. It was a sad, although spiritually uplifting conference, still in the Tabernacle Building.
