LDSGator got a reaction from NeuroTypical in Russia-Ukraine conflict
This won’t satisfy every one of course, but it’s a good indicator of bias in the news.

LDSGator reacted to prisonchaplain in Someone flirted with me…
Let's try a different set of numbered points:
1. You passed. You were tempted but you stayed true to your marriage, your vows, your faith. Not only did you not break the Law of Chastity, but you were tested and passed.
2. We men should value the women in our lives more. If we don't treasure our treasures, there are always others who will.
3. It speaks well of you that your husband trusts you take such long journeys without him. His discernment appears to be spot on.
4. Don't allow your desire for more attention to turn to bitterness. Again, we men should do better. Perhaps your husband should.
5. Nevertheless, don't underestimate what you have. 16 years? Three children? Blessings all! You did it together. Love/respect him openly. You'll be reassured.

They’ve always been pretty shady.

LDSGator reacted to Ironhold in The Berenstain Cross-dressers
What happened was that when Filmation was about to ship He-Man out the door they realized that the violence in each episode was on a rather higher level than what kids' shows of the era normally contained.
As a result, they devised the PSA bit at the end of each episode in order to put the violence in some sort of context as part of a larger moral bit.
This "halo effect" concept caught on, and soon a number of cartoons were doing some sort of PSA or educational segment at the end of each episode.
These initially faded away around the end of the 1980s as most of the shows that did these segments got cancelled, but briefly reappeared in the mid-1990s when Congress passed laws requiring that all over-the-air broadcast television stations had to air three hours of "educational and informative" kids' programming a week as stations used these segments to justify tagging whatever show they were attached to as E/I compliant.
Nowadays they're more of a meme than anything else, although there are G. I. Joe fans who are open to the idea of the PSAs returning at the end of future content.

This is the most famous example, but it was first invented by Max Fleischer of Fleischer Studios back in the late 1930s / early 1940s. It's why so many of his action cartoons, like Superman, seem so lifelike given the technical limitations of the day.

C'mon Gator admit it, this is the only reason you never burned yourself on a stove, or bullied people, or huffed the marijuanas.

LDSGator reacted to Jamie123 in The Berenstain Cross-dressers
I remember the He-Man/She-Rah cartoons where at the end of each episode the moral lesson would be pointed out. It was usually something like "Don't kick the bad guy when he's down, even if he is a jerk" or "you won't have your grandparents forever ever, so appreciate them while you can". Not bad really, for a franchise that was mostly about selling plastic junk.

LDSGator reacted to mikbone in 52 Churches in 52 weeks
We got another one.
My wife was following him prior to his baptism.
He loved the temple open houses. Our clear communication. And Robins (the birds).

GI Joe was my thing and I still collect the comics. I don’t like the “Now I know” socially responsible stuff either. I found it silly, even as a kid.

LDSGator reacted to NeuroTypical in The Berenstain Cross-dressers
The Berenstein Bears was a staple of my childhood, and my kids' as well. Honest look at family life, dealt with real issues. Before congress got involved and made GI Joe devote a portion of each episode to some stupid messaging directed at how kids shouldn't bully but should brush teeth or whatever.

LDSGator reacted to ZealoulyStriving in Question concerning “Continuing Revelation”
To be clear... I've tucked that securely back on the shelf behind all the towels.

LDSGator reacted to Maverick in Question concerning “Continuing Revelation”
I only brought up Adam-God in this particular discussion because I was pressed to provide a tangible example of something that supports the possibility that changed teachings in the church can be due to God taking away light and truth from the church because the majority of the members couldn’t handle it.
In a general sense Adam-God is important to me personally because I believe in searching out and embracing all truth. The Adam-God doctrine was taught as truth and a mystery of God by the president of the church for 25 years from the pulpit in General Conference, in priesthood meetings, and in the temple. To me this makes it significant.

It's actually quite fascinating and was a major draw for me towards fundamentalism during my wilderness journey.

LDSGator got a reaction from Backroads in Movie/show thread! What are you watching?
And, to top it off, Big Brother starts in the summer and I’m glued to that show. Been a fan since 2001!

LDSGator got a reaction from Phoenix_person in The War in Israel may be at it's end.
That’s right up my alley. Thank.
There was a whistleblower for Madof that tried calling the SEC several times as well.

To be fair, I’m sure some people probably did see it coming, but it’s like a historic college football game-more people say they were there then actually were there.
