Great micro-essay @Vort. I didn't even realize it was an old thread but nonetheless exactly applicable to us right now. Thumbs up to the weirdo Latter-day Saints!! P.s. Wasn't aware of the tattoo/piercing slave connection until now, cool fun info.

Then they look at the parents and say, "What are you all so upset over!?!"

Thought of your post @mordorbund when I saw this.

Bingo! We sold our home and moved to a different school district 4 years ago. We home schooled our kids until Middle-School. We have one home schooler left and the other two are in a very conservative school district for now. @person0 I hope my last post didn't come off as something directed at 'you' specifically... it was generic. I tried to edit/clarify it just in case.

What are conservatives establishing as of late? What 'action' are conservatives willing to actually do about issues facing us as a nation OR are 'we' (myself included) sitting on the sidelines neutralized simply watching things play out? Every time I see a parent stand up at a School board meeting and voice their concerns over issues like CRT, I witness some glimmer of hope. We need more of this, more action. Are you (generic you), are we members of the Church? Want a kick to the groin? (of course!) President Ezra Taft Benson said:

Goes on to share her Paypal address to send her money. Classic race hustlers, in it for the money.

Zing-a-roo.

This 15 year old shares some insight on what CRT looks like at his school.

Amen.

A friend sent this over and I thought it applied nicely to this thread.

I'm not saying always, but many times... we simply just need someone (set of ears) outside of our circle of friends/family/associates that we can vomit our feelings/thoughts upon. No worries of it coming back to bite us. I struggle with X, I think about Y, I'm great at A but fail at B, I hate M and don't give a rat's behind about L, so on and so forth. Over the years, I'm less and less under the illusion that the person needed to accomplish this needs to be a 'therapist'. Especially with the caliber of therapist I see more and more. There is a great weight that can be lifted by simply verbalizing things out loud. This in part, is a small reason, why I think Bishops are such a valuable tool to many members... they just need to share X with someone in confidence.

Just having fun for a moment... In the Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 11-28 we read about the people enjoying about 200 years of peace and Enoch type bliss, after the Savior's visit. The next 100 years, call them years 201-300, we are told they did “dwindle in unbelief and wickedness, from year to year” By time we get to year 301, they have fallen all the way to: * I don't know what trafficking they are specifically referring to, but I have my guesses.

Thanks 😂

(I'm just poking the bear for a moment... 😉) Couldn't all of those things also be done without any love for your fellow man, but rather simply out of self interest/gain? Ex. 1. To avoid a peasant revolution, the monarchy decides..."We better get these villages clean water before they come slaughter us in our sleep". 2. We better pass out free money or reparations to the masses under the flag of fighting poverty, only in an effort to secure their votes. 3. War can be avoided or halted out of self preservation, wiriness or blood shed... but not because they love their enemy. Love could be the 'cause'. But... So could self interest. I think I'm getting old and pessimistic about govt. & organizations. I don't want to be this way and definitely didn't go looking for it, but I feel like they have brought this upon themselves.

I suppose a lot of it depends on what we all define as 'better'. Is it: 1. Poverty levels dropping, clean water, living standards, access to goods, etc. OR 2. Moral compass, desire to follow God, service to mankind, adherence to the commandments, loving your fellow man, etc. OR Both I believe #1 is better while at the same time believe #2 is unfortunately getting worse, namely here in the USA.

The EUA use vs. full FDA approval, is only one factor among several reasons why I will continue to decline the vaccine(s). If EUA is synonymous with full approval, then they should label them as full approval and remove this obstacle for many hesitant individuals. If they are not synonymous, then we can't pretend that EUA products are just as good as fully approved products that have had longer follow up periods for efficacy. Q: Anyone know if I got the jab today, how long would I be protected for? In other news... Should those in a low-risk demographic risk Covid or risk injecting themselves with these exported doses of J&J?

This, among other reasons, is why many of us won't take it. I naively already thought everyone knew they weren't approved by the FDA. (Thanks Facebook, Twitter, Youtube for suppressing things.) This is the argument about being involved with the largest trial test ever conducted on humankind.

No point hiding it any longer.

Years ago there was a Stake Pres. Counselor, doctor, who: had every part of the temple recommend memorized, very direct and never broke eye contract... ever! By time it was done I confessed to being a Russian spy and for stealing a lolli-pop in the 3rd grade. AWKWARD to say the least. He was a family friend too. Soon as the interview was over, poof! right back to being his normal ol' self. He did it with everyone and all of us jumped for joy if they got the other counselor instead. Good times.

Has anyone else heard this story before? If so, was it recent? I'm trying to figure out why it has come to my mind, and trying to rule out if 'we' all recently heard it for some reason like in a General Conference talk??
