"There is no 'conspiracy theory' in the Book of Mormon. It is a conspiracy fact." (Ezra Taft Benson) From the Introduction of the Book of Mormon: From President Ezra Taft Benson in a General Conference address: When the Book of Mormon was abridged, Mormon took those things he thought/was inspired, as most profitable to us. This includes the book of Ether. The heading for Ether 8: The chapter tells us the story of Akish and his rise to power using murder and Secret Combinations. Moroni proceeds to tell us about the horrors of Secret Combinations. In verses 23-26 he is speaking to us. The modern church members. Take particular note of verse 24.

It dumbfounds me the lengths members of the LDS church will go to write off the dangers of modern SC's in our world.

Sadly, our profession has about a 2-1 suicide vs. line of duty death rate every year.

FTR, this is a screenshot @LDSGator texted me of the music he was playing on his way to the grocery store.

The Ostler's are heavily involved in the Mormons Building Bridges group.

*sigh* This is wrong on either side of any issue.

Nope. I never take flu shots. I don't need to talk to a doctor about flu shots. Covid-19 is a flu. I have never yet heard a doctor say not to take the flu shots. They always say take it. In my 54 years of not taking flu shots, I've had the flu maybe 3 times. Neither did I receive any promptings from the spirit to take the shot.

This. This times a million.

Popcorn, chips, crackers are the top of my list.

That is a good question. I don't know. I do know that the numbers (deaths) given are not accurate. They have fudged the numbers. I also have never taken a flu shot. I do not feel the need to start now either.

Ok, Half that we know of and half we don't know what they did.

5 have had the vaccine. 10 have not said what they did. The OFFICIAL handbook of the church says: 38.7.13 Vaccinations Vaccinations administered by competent medical professionals protect health and preserve life. Members of the Church are encouraged to safeguard themselves, their children, and their communities through vaccination. Ultimately, individuals are responsible to make their own decisions about vaccination. If members have concerns, they should counsel with competent medical professionals and also seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost. Seems like an awful lot of finger wagging going on in the Church these days.
