    Isaiah 5:20

    Approximately one in six from America's youngest adult generation now identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, headlining a trend of increased LGBT identification in the country, according to a new Gallup survey. The survey, conducted throughout the last year, found that 16% of U.S. adults from Generation Z identify as something other than heterosexual. Those surveyed were born between 1997 and 2002. Generation Z is defined as those born between 1997 and 2012; the survey did not include those who have not reached age 18. Of those 18- to 23-year-olds who identify as LGBT, 72% of them classified themselves as bisexual. "Thus, 11.5% of all Gen Z adults in the U.S. say they are bisexual, with about 2% each identifying as gay, lesbian or transgender," Gallup stated. Additionally, the percentage is poised to grow, since many individuals from Generation Z have not yet reached adulthood and thus were not surveyed. https://www.theblaze.com/news/1-in-6-gen-z-lgbt

  3. Well, I think venting here and elsewhere and getting some feedback is helping. Today I did partake in an act of service of delivering some clothes to a family who said they didn't have cars. Now, of course when I got there, there were three cars. But it occurred to me, by the state of the home and the family, that "I don't have a car" can be code for "we honestly can't afford the gas to get to your place".

    Isaiah 5:20

    If we listen to the prophets and the spirit we will realize that in the Last-days there will be an assault on the eternal principles that directly effect social interactions. The strength of a nation lies in the strength of its social principles and foremost to a stable and enduring society is the family. It is my personal view that the stability and endurance of our freedoms and liberties are currently at great risk. For example the masculinity of males and the caring nurturing side of females (especially towards children) are being redefined as evil - specifically xenophobic, bigotry and definitely homophobic. I find it interesting that currently it is thought that the way to stop bullying is to bully the bully. Our super heroes are worshiped in entertainment because they are violent against those that are evil - evil being defined as someone that is violent???? This is the outcome from the destabilizing notions that we ought to love our neighbor (those that agree with us) and that we ought to hate and are vengeful towards our enemies. I believe that it is this kind of thinking that is the engine of "Secret Combinations". That we love (love meaning to support and to accept whatever it is that a person we love intends to do) and that we condemn and hate whatever it is a person that disagrees with us (our enemy) intends to do. In the D&C section we are warned about evil that will lie to make it look like those that are righteous (righteous meaning to uphold the covenants of G-d) are lying and corrupt. In short it is good to lie or make false statements before a court of law (FISA court) to bring legal accusations against your political enemies. I agree with @scottyg and @Still_Small_Voice but I believe that what they are referencing is just a very teeny weeny tip of a colossal iceberg. The Traveler

    What is charity?

    A simple example would be the adversary, who indeed did have valuable talents (i.e. gifts), but lacked charity. That is one example of how a person can have and still be nothing.

    Views on Stimulus

    You probably know this, but one of the traps in evaluating any government expenditure is that we can clearly see the “good” that is done by money government spends. It’s a lot harder to see and quantify the “good” that those same dollars would have done in the hands of their original owners, the taxpayers. No one counts the investments that aren’t made, the new businesses that don’t open, the meals and hotel rooms and travel tickets that aren’t purchased, the gifts that aren’t given, the home renovations that aren’t undertaken, and so on. And what’s even more sinister is that these opportunity costs are, to a very great degree, being borne by a generation that is still children. Millennials are fond of pointing out how the Boomers screwed then over economically—but they’re turning around and demanding we do the same thing to the next generation so that they, the millennials, can get theirs. Take a look at the second link I put in my previous post, and bear in mind that the link is nine years old and the national (“household”) debt has doubled since then.

    Isaiah 5:20

    https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/hasbro-rebranding-mr-potato-head-gender-neutral Another article from nbc states that the toy will also be sold in a family pack with accessories for two sets of "same gender" parents for the baby potato. Our children need to be taught how to feel the Holy Ghost and discover truth for themselves, because the world is ready to sweep them up in sin.
