https://www.yahoo.com/news/french-canadian-newspaper-cover-trump-193418460.html Well, the Canadians at least canât hate us anymore than they already do. -
Thatâs awesome. For those of us who are adopted (me!)-itâs a life saver. I have zero desire to be sealed to my bio family.

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/canada-justin-trudeau-resignation-01-06-25/index.html He already announced heâs going to step down. If he doesnât, his party is going to get trounced in the next election. -
I donât have a problem with releasing names and âdoxxingâ hubots and scammers. While it feeds their persecution complex hopefully it warns the next person that the hunbot canât be trusted. I didnât do it here because 1) itâs not allowed and 2) the odds that anyone here are in the same Disney FB groups that I am are essentially zero. But she was exposed on that group for a time.

Thanks bud. Itâs a question a lot of us have. Families can be together forever but for some people thatâs a terrifying thought. Not being funny.

Is there a way to keep someone from getting sealed? Ie-if someone had an abusive parent? (not speaking for me. My parents are great)

Iâm a barely functional narcissist, so Iâll just be quiet on that one. But, for what little itâs worth, I think most LDS are extremely, well, nice. They donât like saying no their stake president-even when he asks for their life savings. One of my closest friends in the church died in a canyoneering accident. His parents were screwed out of their life savings by a church leader who went to jail for fraud. He spent his adult life warning seniors of these frauds.

@Jamie123-please forgive my ignorance, but in the UK does a âwhole life orderâ mean it or is the criminal released in a decade or so?
-
Totally fair. Believe it or not I understand that itâs a complex and somewhat gray issue. When I hear about horrific crimes I also want justice and for the perp to be severely punished.

Thank you. True. And two more things to remember. 1. You ainât Jesus. 2. Just because you are fine with being led to your death for the sake of âhumanityâ doesnât mean everyone else is okay with that option, or that the death penalty is swell and just.

I'll just open a potential can of worms... Can ICE enter temples?

Do you honestly think they care about âethicsâ? Bloodlust. Not being funny. -
All true, so I guess people on both sides use the scriptures they agree with to prove their point and ignore the scriptures that donât. There are plenty of secular, conservative reasons to be against the death penalty though.

Yes, his turning the other cheek, forgive your neighbor 7X70, putting the ear back on a solider, forgiving the second thief⌠all His teachings on forgiveness come to mind, actually.

Agree. Itâs always been a big issue for me-when I was 18 I told Helen Prejean she was wrong and the death penalty was the only appropriate punishment. She was a speaker at my first college. She wrote Dead Man Walking. Now, Iâve swung vehemently to the other side. Fascinating what age/maturity/introspection does.
