Click colored article areas below for further info
Recent (click: reports have detailed how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints posted an (click: essay on its Web site in late October 2014 formally admitting for the first time that its founder, Joseph Smith, had multiple wives — including one who was a teenager and others who were married to other men.
What's interesting is not just the formal acknowledgement by church leaders of Smith's polygamy, no longer practiced by Mormons, but their reason for the disclosure.
"There is so much out there on the Internet," said Elder Steven E. Snow, a member of the senior leadership of the Mormon Church, in an interview with the (click: New York Times, "that we felt we owed our members a safe place where they could go to get reliable, faith-promoting information that was true about some of these more difficult aspects of our history."
That is: The digital age is having a profound impact on religious leaders' need to be transparent.
Some former high-ranking Mormon leaders had gone (click: public with concerns about their organization, after coming across unsettling information about Mormonism circulating elsewhere online. One (click: survey of more than 3,000 disaffected Mormons found that, indeed, many who left the church in recent years had actually previously held leadership positions, suggesting that disillusionment has reached even into the church's most active ranks.
The Mormon Church, of course, is hardly the only religion seeing departures and doubt. In November 2014, the Pew Research Center released a (click: study showing that this year in (click: Latin America, a traditional stronghold of Catholicism, Catholics comprise 69 percent of the population — a significant drop from 92 percent in 1970. People in the region who have left the Catholic Church mostly have turned either to Protestantism or say they are unaffiliated.
That rise in the unaffiliated, or the "nones" as Pew has (click: called them, is also happening in the United States. A Pew (click: poll from 2012 found that the percentage of Americans unaffiliated with a religious group grew from around 15 percent in 2007 to nearly 20 percent five years later. Among those under the age of 30, the trend is even more pronounced, growing from 26 percent to 32 percent over the same period.
Some say the Internet has played a key role in that increasing disaffection. A professor at the Olin College of Engineering conducted a (click: study using data from the General Social Survey, and found that increased Internet use — (click: controlling for things like education, income and rural/urban environments —was (click: associated with a lower likelihood of religious affiliation.
The Internet has also helped disseminate (= spread, circulate) information about the clergy (click: abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, as well as connect survivors and empower them to learn more about their perpetrators, wrote (click: Marci Hamilton, a Yeshiva University scholar on church-and-state issues, at (click: Justia.com. "Given the size and global scope of the Catholic Church," she wrote, "it is inconceivable that, without the Internet, connections could have been made between survivors across countries as they have."
It is still hard to clearly parse (= analyze, state, know) just how much the information age has changed the Church's approach to transparency. While Pope Francis has gotten (click: high marks for bureaucracy reforms at the Vatican and a movement toward more (click: openness, for instance, there has also been (click: criticism of his (click: handling of the sex-abuse scandal.
What does seem clear, however, is that blind faith in the digital age is much harder to come by. To keep a following intact, religious leaders must take the same approach as others in charge. They need to be transparent, get ahead of the problem by opening up, and recognize that one of the best ways to build relationships with followers is to answer their questions about disturbing truths, rather than leave those revelations to somebody else.

The First Online Worldwide Community Church with Biblical principles for all people
by Dr. Christian von Christophers, Ph.D., N.D., D.D., Founding Pastor
Our country is based on the Christian, Biblical Principles - that's the statement by the historians.
The Bible was in the hands of our founding fathers.
The Bible, (two of them: (1) MLK's & (2) Pres. Lincoln's), was used in President Obama's inauguration ceremony.
Mr.Obama states his religion is the Biblical Christian.
A huge question for all of us humans: How to have a mentally, physically, financially happy & successful life?
As the founder of Successology ® (Reg.US.Pat.Off.1991) - the new science for life success - I am honored, no matter what your background, homeless, a President or a King or anything between, to show light for finding a road to your worthy goals and getting them fulfilled for your success in life.

"How to apply the biblical success guidance for your lasting success"
By applying the biblical success principles you & your whole family will have a healthy, happy, long life with great financial success - so will your children in their own adult life and in their own family - that's the best gift you can give to your children
Selected Bible statements for your and your family's success in life
A few lines below you'll see several numbered citations from The Bible
Place the quotes in your home in a visible place for everyone to see & read daily 2 times (am/pm)
- your kitchen may be a good, neutral location to keep the quotation list
Make a decision that every family member will read these 7 Bible quotes
(1) the first thing in the morning and (2) the last thing in the evening before bedtime.
The first 2 hours in the morning are called the golden hours as the mind absorbs material in an effective manner, the evening reading improves your sleep quality. Read the Bible quotes either aloud (when alone) or softy, quietly whispering in any other situation. The more senses are involved in the reading, the more effectively the mind absorbs the messages and the faster the results will manifest in life. In your daily routine, when everyone is home, read once a day together these Bible quotes (also your babies & toddlers present - the earlier in life they adapt these positive habits, the more successful they will be. Everyone's life quality will improve. These quotes will help produce the result-bringing positive attitude & beliefs - discuss their meaning together as a family.
Every family member should have their own Bible. The Bible has 2 main parts: The Old Testament and The New Testament.
Use only Bibles that have modern, today's English or your other first language Bible using today's language; e.g. not an King James version with old-fashioned language from the 1700. (It can be King James version if it is updated using today's language). Today's language is what you speak and 1700 language would be hard to understand. Give also the toddlers and the babies their own Bible (and save them as their first own Bible - the same with every family member). Update the Bibles as needed. If finances is a challenge, you can have free (1) New Testaments with the Revelation part from the Old Testament (small pocket size but with the full text) and full Bibles (Old & New Testament). Search the web, ask a local church and see what the "street" missionaries have available free.
The selected 7 Bible citations to start with - discuss & analyze their meaning together as a family; add other Bible quotations as you go forward and feel important for you and for your family:
(1) Jesus says: "I came so that you could live life to the fullest" (John 10:10)
(2) "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"
(Jeremiah 29:11)
(3) "In fact, this is your respect & love for God: to keep his commands. His commands are not burdensome"
The 10 Commandments = "10 success laws" in today's English; a few lines below a web link to the 10 commandments*)
(4) "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4)
(5) "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23)
(6) Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed" (Proverbs 16:3) **)
(7) Jesus said: "Yes, you can! All things are possible for one who believes.” (Mark 23:9)
*) Relating to #3 above
To find out more about God's 10 Commandments = 10 success laws,
click: 10 Commandments List - Life, Hope & Truth lifehopeandtruth.com
The link gives several Bible sources for God's Ten Commandments, compare them. The site has also an option to download a free e-booklet "God's 10 Commandments". Study the booklet all together as a family and download for every family member their own copy. There are other 10 Commandments sites - study only those using today's English or your home language as it is spoken today. All languages develop, words die and new words are born). The older Bible versions use English spoken in the 1700's - hard to anyone to understand.
**) Relating to # 7 above
It is interesting to know that most (or perhaps all) motivational writers and speakers say that they took and take their material from the Bible, modify it with their own views and teach them in their books and seminars. As an example, compare this motivational quote with the #7 biblical quote above:
Napoleon Hill: "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve"
Click: Napoleon Hill Quotes Click: Napoleon Hill Click: Napoleon Hill Foundation
When you go forward in your studying add new Bible verses and new quotations (1) on the family list and (2) on your own personal list. On your personal list add Bible verses and other quotations that are important to you personally and add on the family list together as a family group. Often the same verses are important to every member in your family. In addition to the Bible verses add any other quotations you feel are important. Share your own quotations with other family members - the other members may want to add them on their own list.
Have a regular time where you and every member of your family studies these list. The best time is in the morning during the golden hour (the first 1 - 2 hours after getting up) or latest on your way to work or school in the public transportation. In case you have to drive, record these verses and quotations with your own voice and listen to them every morning while driving - but: pay attention to the traffic.
In your home you can also make these quotes in a bigger text (either printed or by hand & use color) and perhaps in a way that every family member has prepared some part of the list. Then everyone can feel being more involved and will be more motivated to apply the success principles together in your family. Especially the smaller children are excited when they are involved - then they also learn deeper and learn better to handle life's difficulties in the future. Doing new things together as a family will bring more meaningful results, bring more harmony & create better relations in your family. These activities, including the weekly family learning & discussion meetings, introduced a few lines below, will help everyone feel more united as a family. That leads to less arguments and to more peace & then to higher success together as a family.
If you want to add some other Bible quotes on the family list, decide on the addition(s) together (without arguing) and only add on this "family master list" what everyone has agreed. Every family member can create their own extended list with quotes & statements the person her/himself desires and read the list daily or a longer list perhaps 1 -2 times a week.
In addition you can, and it is a good idea, to have a 2nd, separate family master list filled with success & motivational quotes that are created more by "humans" and are accepted by all family members to be placed on the family list. Together as a family go daily (or regularly less often, if a longer list) through the quote/quotation list(s). Many common sayings or quotations originate from the Proverbs section in The Bible.
Create another new family tradition, important for every member of your family.
Weekly, year after year (until your children are gone) have a weekly family learning & discussion meeting lasting 1 - 3 hours. Have the meeting at home or take, the weather allowing, a pick-nick trip outside in the nature (take a car & visit new places). The real nature will also give strong healing power for the body & mind.
In that meeting discuss together the material you have agreed as a family to study during the week. In a rotating basis, someone leads the group discussion (then your children learn the group leading skill and can shine with that new skill in their school and any where). Have this weekly family learning & discussion meeting year after year until the children have their own place. Even after that continue the same meeting with your spouse - that will further strengthen your marriage. Your children will continue the same meeting in their own family life. If they are not married, they can continue the tradition alone or create a weekly study group in a similar manner with their friends. Start this weekly study group when your children are still young (even toddlers or babies) - then they benefit most as they learn new knowledge early and realize that such a meeting is a blessing in their future family life - the meeting will strengthen the family union, will strengthen your marriage, will guide everyone to a healthier and more successful life style leading also to higher financial success.
From where to take the material for your family's weekly discussion & learning meeting?
You decide together (parents taking suggestions but deciding) as a family what you all will study during the week. Then in the weekly family meeting you discuss and handle the material (all family members present in the meeting, also the ones who do not read, yet, including the baby and the toddler.
Combine (1) the biblical material and (2) the modern human science material.
Take weekly study material from (1) the Bible, (2) from the Global Church of God - GCG website and (3) from this affiliated science website: Save The American Family - STAF, Inc., not-for-profit. In STAF, Inc.'s website take the material first from the tab: "Services", there from the sub-tab "Restoring Any Marriage" - RAM which is the family tab in that website, and then from any other tab - all excellent material & important for everyone to know
(click) www.staf1org.weebly.com
The STAF,Inc.'s website is huge and material will be available "for ever = endlessly". STAF, Inc.'s website (if the above link does not connect) - copy, paste, search: www.staf1org.weebly.com
Start The Bible studies by taking the material from the Proverbs because it is full of practical, easy to apply and easy to understand every-day life success guidance. Then later, when you feel, your family (or your other group) is "ready for a wider material", take study material in The Bible (1) from the Old Testament and from (2) the New Testament and from (3) the Proverbs until you have gone through the whole Bible (that will take 5 - X years).
Use a modern language Bible - study GCG's website (home tab) for advice or search the web to find a modern English version Bible - search the web with "show the Bibles with the modern English language".
If English is your second language, use a modern language version in your first language and use the modern English language Bible - then you and your children can learn English at the same time - combine both as best fits for your family. All solutions depends on how old your children are and how much English has been studied before.
Combine all these elements to learn (1) The Bible, (2) learn the science material from The STAF, Inc.'s website in English and (3) learn material from the GCG's (= Global Church of God) website (which is in English). You can also combine the modern computerized, free translation internet services and see how they could be used most beneficially in your study group. It is easy: just ask the computer & web to translate anything into any language available.
Global Church of God - GCG will guide you to achieve these precious goals
