That would be so cruel!

You are all distracting from the purpose of this thread.  Hmph.
 

 
 

So to speak. Also a fashion officianodo.

I've read through this string. We appear to be doing scary scenes, and given my ministry assignments I thought this would be appropriate:

I think I agree with this guy.

(Please note that this person's quote is primarily from Harold B. Lee in 1970. He includes President Nelson's photograph, but this is not President Nelson. It's just some guy who goes by "gogogoff0" and who coined a new term that he thinks is fitting. As I wrote above, I think I agree with him.)
    gogogoff0   There is a growing schism (division) within the Church fueled by Social Media Influencers. It is not a left vs. right, nor is it an American vs non-American. It is those who follow the prophet vs those who I've dubbed as Protestant Mormons. They claim to believe *most* doctrines of the Church, but protest against the prophet and seek to set up their "personal authority" that they derive from their own "personal revelation" as an alternative to prophetic teachings.

As I am prepping to write about this, I found this mic drop quote:

"We have some tight places to go before the Lord is through with this church and the world in this dispensation, which is the last dispensation, which shall usher in the coming of the Lord. The gospel was restored to prepare a people ready to receive him. The power of Satan will increase; we see it in evidence on every hand. There will be inroads within the Church. There will be, as President Tanner has said, "Hypocrites, those professing, but secretly are full of dead men's bones." Matt. 23:27 We will see those who profess membership but secretly are plotting and trying to lead people not to follow the leadership that the Lord has set up to preside in this church.

Now the only safety we have as members of this church is to do exactly what the Lord said to the Church in that day when the Church was organized. We must learn to give heed to the words and commandments that the Lord shall give through his prophet, "as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me—as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith." D&C 21:4-5 There will be some things that take patience and faith. You may not like what comes from the authority of the Church. It may contradict your political views. It may contradict your social views. It may interfere with some of your social life. But if you listen to these things, as if from the mouth of the Lord himself, with patience and faith, the promise is that "the gates of hell shall not prevail against you; yea, and the Lord God will disperse the powers of darkness from before you, and cause the heavens to shake for your good, and his name's glory." D&C 21:6"

Holy crap everyone is sure pointing fingers back and forth on the hospital.   I like Daniel Rubenstein's take:
Here's the video of a misfiring rocket from 2022:
 
Here's information gleaned from IDF radar footage, tracking missile trajectories:

 
Here's some video released by the IDF, claiming to be footage of the rocket:
 

I try hard to take in two PIO-released dashcam videos for every one 1A auditor video I watch.

Like KSL comments aren't the beacon of insight?

FTR: @Just_A_Guy and I are totally joking.

Become a police officer...we get lots of media attention. 

You're gonna need to bump up that offer...a whole lot!

Sometime ago, some coworkers and I got so far as to brainstorm about how we could operate a drug cartel from within the ranks of our government jobs.
Purely as an academic exercise, naturally.  

I’m currently involved in a high-ish profile case at work that has developed quite a Reddit following, which I’ve been keeping a jaundiced eye on (but not posting to, obviously).  As it pertains to our case I’ve seen precisely one Reddit post that was sheer brilliance (and which very slightly affected the trajectory of the case), a couple dozen that were marginally insightful—and the other few hundred posts were nearly all utter nonsense (but still entertaining in their own way).

I come here to practice loving my LDS neighbor, I go there to practice loving my non-LDS neighbor.   
It's absolutely a more spicy version of LDS content than you get here.  Full of people engaging in mutually consensual online combat.

From my extremely limited interaction with mormondialogue.org, it seems they don't care too much about enforcing their site rules.
