My kids read "The Tuttle Twins" growing up, too. -

Sadly, the "woke" crowd are among us, too. -

Indoctrination. It gets worse in some schools. -
So they want to protest Christ? Good luck.

The Elder's Quorum move that left a mark.

We had a discussion about this on the way home. We also talked about why she might behave that way. Kids aren't intellectually mature, but they are smarter than we often give them credit for. -
Charity - 5th Sunday Lesson Missing the Mark

Thank you for this. There are so many things I could be better at. -

Thank for sharing. Since I joined the Church, I've always taken my children on every service project I've done. We've laughed, cried, and learned. I remember one particularly good lesson where we were helping someone move from her home after a divorce. We showed up and the house was destroyed. Lots of pets, smelled horrible, and hadn't been cleaned in years. It was very disgusting. Nothing was packed, and the only people that showed up to help were her ministering brother, the bishop, and my boys and I. She sat on the porch without helping, and the entire time we packed and loaded her things she swore at us for being church members, criticized the Church, smoked, and was just being a pretty crappy person to those of us that helped. At more than one point I asked her to stop swearing in front of my children, and my boys asked why we were helping her. It was a great opportunity for me to share the nature of service, why we serve, and blessings. To this day when one of my boys complains about doing something, they will bring up that day and talk about how we own our attitudes and the effect we can have on others through cheer and good-tidings when confronted with grumpiness and bad behavior. -
My wife was issued her first Temple/Living Ordinance Recommend today. I'll tell her to keep it with her license.

Baldwin, gun safety, freedoms and responsibilities
Grunt replied to Traveler's topic in General Discussion
I care not whose "responsibility" it is. I was taught to check every firearm I'm handed and have instilled the same in my children. I can think of very few times, mostly military related, where I didn't check a firearm immediately after assuming possession of it. -
I'm a skydiver and fly Paramotor, but that looks like a good way to die.

Well, that is going to make a few people sad.

Inviting people to repentance because we love them
Grunt replied to Fether's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
Boy, that's a kicker. At times I've "acted" with love and it's changed the relationship. Other times it didn't, and I have such a hard time loving. It's even harder when it's people I believe are actually doing harm. -
I don't think it's a particularly appropriate activity for the Sabbath. Some Saints are doing this as an alternative. https://www.facebook.com/shekinahholiday/

What if the Church’s Position on Homosexuality Changed?
Grunt replied to clbent04's topic in General Discussion
I'm sure you'll grow through this experience, as you seem to have approached it with an open heart. We can be kind and loving without sacrificing our principles. -
I bet she knows some of the missionaries that taught me, then.

I wouldn't know 10 bpm difference if it was drummed on my head.

Me too. My TBR list is getting long.

You're supposed to do what the spirit directs. If you were given the topic, and that's it, I wouldn't worry myself with what I think the Bishop wants. I'd ponder and pray, then speak what needs to be spoken.

25th Amendment

You're just now figuring out they are two sides of the same coin? Your SS is now set to be slashed in 12 years.

And yet people keep lining up to drink the government Kool-aid.

Sooooo, Christ is unjust. Not a hill I'd want to die on.

Ivermectin has been prescribed to humans for decades.

It doesn't. All your articles state "not approved and higher concentrations". All that means is "we don't approve it and you need to be aware of your dosage". Here's some for you. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8088823/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/ It makes a rational person wonder why they rushed a vaccine through to approval and yet they are ignoring clinical trials and reports of success with ivermectin.
