Granted it's unconsecrated oil but still How is it any different than selling bottles of olive oil? If they were selling it pre-consecrated I would have a big issue with it. Des Book sells vials and you supply your own oil. Don't see it as an issue. 2

bluebell Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I don't see that it's any different than selling the empty oil vials. Plus, its awesome that you can keep it for 2 years and the oil won't spoil. Nothing is worse than going to use the oil in the vial and have it be rotten. 3
stemelbow Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) A drip of oil for 2 bucks? Sounds like a great deal. 160 bucks for 100 drips? I think I get only about 900 drips from a 8 dollar bottle, so the math seems to work out about right. Edited May 18, 2016 by stemelbow 1

Granted it's unconsecrated oil but still Saves time for people who are in too big a hurry to go buy the oil and bless it themselves. Or who don't feel worthy to do it themselves. Or don't know how to do it themselves. Or think it would be a great gift for someone. Maybe we need to get the word out about how easy it is to do it, and maybe do it for others for free. We're always looking for opportunities to serve others in my priesthood quorum.

JAHS Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I'm having one of those "Why didn't I think of that !" moments.
Duncan Posted May 18, 2016 Author Posted May 18, 2016 I just don't see the need, I mean you have to open the packet and bless it and so what's so different then using a vial of consecrated oil that you already spent time blessing? it;s the same but different, like Burger King and Wendy's
Mars Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 topic says 'consecrated' original post says 'unconsecrated' please fix. 1

I'd forgotten that. Let me see if I can remember what I learned in primary... We believe that the first principles and ordinances of Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ: second, Free-market capitalism... Edited May 18, 2016 by ksfisher

If that's true, these guys are just lengthening their strides. That's about as true as someone saying communism is a gospel principle, thinking of communism as a form of charity. I prefer the idea of buying without needing any money to buy.

I used to carry one of those little vials on my keychain. I guess these packets are slightly more convenient, but kind of pricey. Totally unnecessary, IMO.

Perhaps I'll start a line of moist towelettes which the person performing the anointing can wipe any excess oil off their fingers.

What's next, individual packets of pre-broken bread for the sacrament? On second thought, that would be way more sanitary.
Mars Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) a ponderize quip and two shots over how some people might think free-market capitalism is a principle of the Gospel? (i wouldn't agree that it is, but still...) snark level: orange Edited May 18, 2016 by Mars

Just curious as I don't notice these things and I have seen and been a part of blessings..does the oil have to go in a specific vial or can you use any small clean container?

Okay, and maybe as a way to set yourself apart (yes, pun intended) from others who offer to sell "wipes" you could put the letters "LDS" on the label, somewhere, and mention that they would be useful for priesthood functions. Marketing usually plays a key role in a product's success. Just accept the fact that you'll have competition in just about everything.
