  1. Our so called allies have been tariffing us blind for decades, it is time for that to end.
  2. It is all about encouraging these countries to drop the tariffs they use against us.
  3. A friend of mine was just made a seventy. Very cool
  4. I would love if they announced that all members can attend baptisms in the temple, regardless of age, 8 and up. My 9 year old can't wait until she is 12.
  5. John C. Whitmer’s 1878 account of this story is third party hearsay. I am beginning to feel that it was never even told by Mary until well after her excommunication in 1838, if ever. Not only this, her son David once said he wanted to bathe his hands in the blood of Joseph Smith and I believe he made up the story of Joseph using the stone in the hat to translate. He was not one of the scribes of the translation, so how would he have known how Joseph did it? The descendants of Mary could have made up anything they wanted. If someone has older, more reliable sources for this story of "brother Nephi" or "Angle Moroni," then I would love to see them.
  6. It was not one of the three: 4 Nephi 1:19 And it came to pass that Nephi, he that kept this last record, (and he kept it upon the plates of Nephi) died...
  7. Is anyone also bothered that the story of “Moroni” showing the plates to Mary is her grandson’s account? She said thru her entire life that the man was named “brother Nephi.” She never said it was Moroni. https://interpreterfoundation.org/another-account-of-mary-whitmers-viewing-of-the-golden-plates/
  8. Bridging the gap would be fine if the creeds did not scream in our face that we are going to hell, with every fiber of their being. Yeah, the creeds are destroying the teachings of peace that Jesus taught.
  9. I sat in Sacrament meeting this morning listening to the prelude music. “This little heart of mine” started plying and I almost pulled my hair out. Why is the church adding Creedal Christian nonsense songs? I now expect “he has the whole world in his hand” to make an appearance in the next group. Can we stick to our LDS hymns instead please?🤮
  10. How does an illegal alien get a temple recommend? Seems rather dishonest and a violation of ones covenants to break into our country. It is breaking the law.
  11. Amen and Amen.
  12. If Ukraine is unwilling to deal then we should remove all support from them and let them figure it out on their own. We should not be involved in what is by definition a regional conflict. It is not our business. We should bring all of our forces and materials home and let Europe stand on their own. Our military should be used to protect our interests, now someone else's. We are not the police men of the world.
  13. Steel, well used is able to remove evil from the earth. Notice that Conan removed Thulsa from the earth, using a broken sword.
  14. Which section of the D&C talks about the angel with a sword? seems like hearsay.
  15. The only reference to a seer stone is the incident with Hiram Page. D&C 28:11 And again, thou shalt take thy brother, Hiram Page, between him and thee alone, and tell him that those things which he hath written from that stone are not of me and that Satan deceiveth him; I guess you can say that Mosiah also references the Urim as a pair of seer stones as well.
  16. They think they know everything. Pride goeth before the fall of most scholars that are excommunicated.
  17. from my research, it seems that Joseph used the U&T to translate the plates and the seer stone for regular revelations like the D&C. They seem to confuse the two as the same thing, because not very much detail was given by Joseph and Oliver.
  18. I will stick with the statements and scriptures from Joseph Smith and Oliver on this topic. The so-called 'seer stone' story is all based on hearsay from people that were not involved in the translation process.
  19. Unless he repents. That is why we are all here.
  20. I believe Outer Darkness is just my Grandparents old basement. It was super creepy and dark down there. We kids avoided it like the plague.
  21. They have become nothing more than another liberal rag. Pretty sad to see the state of journalism.
  22. It's almost as if the Earth was created by someone very powerful and place here.
