While I believe this particular comment was a troll, I'm old and experienced enough to avoid claiming that no one is really that stupid.
Oh believe me, people really can be that stupid. Just direct traffic once on a crash.

God taking it away is by far the most likely explanation.
Not really.
The most likely explanation is this was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young that was never canonized because it was an opinion strongly held by Brigham Young.

@Maverick are there any issues with the line of authority passing from Joseph Smith to Brigham Young?

It’s just as plausible that he isn’t receiving these types of revelations and that’s why he isn’t telling us.
Do you think that is what is happening?

Not since 1847? Why not? What do you think is holding us back?
But wasn’t this also the case prior to 1847 (or 1918)?
Why do you think those two years are significant?

@JohnsonJones If you have the experience you say (I'm taking you at your word that you do) then you know how safe that child was and how ridiculous your concerns are.
Timestap 7:40 so you can see clearly what you will also see in the next picture. Rifle slung downwards.
Time stamp 7:42 the rifle is slung. Non threatening. Puh-leeze JJ...puh-leeze.
My bonafides on the topic:
I am 26 year officer (still working.)
I am a building clearing instructor.
I am an active shooter/rapid response instructor.
I am a MACTAC instructor (counter terrorist active shooter stuff.)
You are really reaching JJ.
-
@JohnsonJones you are either ignorant of building clearing tactics or looking to complain. With your expressed attitude about the topic you are wrong in either case. I really do not think you want to understand the reasons or care. Your attitude shows. See @Just_A_Guy's first point. Nope, NO APOLOGIES for practicing proper building clearing tactics.

Sure. Is it like California or some nutty place where criminals get a slap on the wrist?
Not really.
QuoteOr do the punishments generally fit the crime?
Most of the convictions and sentencing I've seen have been proper.

Is Utah known for harsh sentences?
Define what you mean by "harsh."

Horrible women, I hope they get lengthy prison sentences.

Weird position to have when trying to find kids in a house. If I were that kid I'd be afraid as well. Still holding the gun as they talked to the kid at first also??? What were they thinking the kid was going to do???
Not sure it's a good look for the department on that point.
Thing I think was the scariest were Police were going through the house at the ready position, as if they were ready to shoot someone or expected someone to come out attacking them.
Standard building clearing tactics. I think you're looking for a reason to complain about the police.

I really appreciate the support. I'm a little odd in that I moved to a rural area that is predominantly LDS but working for an organization of a couple hundred people that are 95% from other parts of the country. There is an anti local, anti Mormon attitude that is common amongst my co workers. As I've been here a while and have become friends with more and more locals ive realized that these are good people and that a lot of their positive attributes are due to their beliefs.
Interesting. Where do you live?

Think of "they" in context of an organization.
Example: Officer Mirkwood works in Utah. He is part of the police. They work together to solve crimes.

I must correct myself. There is a second time our leaders have referenced a sign of the times.
“If 9/11 (September 11, 2001) was a wake-up call, then the earthquake and tsunami in Southeast Asia (on December 26, 2004), was a kick out of bed. We need to pay attention to the signs of the times.” (Boyd K. Packer, meeting of the Twelve and the Seventy, January 11, 2005).
Possible explanation for why the baby boom began in the 1950s.
