When I read your article I thought about what President Russell Nelson said in General Conference on Sunday: "If you have doubts about God the Father and His Beloved Son or the validity of the Restoration or the veracity of Joseph Smith’s divine calling as a prophet, choose to believe and stay faithful. Take your questions to the Lord and to other faithful sources. Study with the desire to believe rather than with the hope that you can find a flaw in the fabric of a prophet’s life or a discrepancy in the scriptures. Stop increasing your doubts by rehearsing them with other doubters. Allow the Lord to lead you on your journey of spiritual discovery." And adding my own advice: If you are going to read material that is against the Gospel of Christ make sure you do not neglect material that is from Faithful sources and from the LORD.

I ran into the quote on the Internet by another Christian church talking about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is a quote that is pulled out of context to make Latter-Day doctrine appear weird and bizarre in my opinion I notice when many other preachers talk about Latter-Day Saint doctrine they like to call us "Mormon" and do not like to focus on how we place Christ at the center of our faith for redemption and hope in eternal life.

I believe everything in this Brigham Young quote but I cannot ever remember doctrine on there being multiple Heavenly Mothers. It was left to silence. Not everything in the Journal of Discourses is doctrine for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

This is something Brigham Young said that is recorded in the Journal of Discourses: “In the pre-mortal spirit life Jesus, Lucifer, and all of us were the spirit children of God and His wives” (Journal of Discourses, Volume XI, page 122).

I thinking about this when I read Doctrine & Covenants section 45 recently. Perhaps there will be several places of refuge the Saints and other moral and Christian people can flee to that the LORD will protect them at in the future.

I just read this recently. Many Americans have lost sight of the truth that righteousness is the one indispensable ingredient to liberty. Perhaps as never before in our history is our nation collectively deserving of the indictment pronounced by Abraham Lincoln in these words: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us. “It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the Offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness . . . Yes, I repeat, righteousness is an indispensable ingredient to liberty. Virtuous people elect wise and good representatives. Good representatives make good laws and then wisely administer them. This tends to preserve righteousness. An unvirtuous citizenry tend to elect representatives who will pander to their covetous lustings. The burden of self-government is a great responsibility. It calls for restraint, righteousness, responsibility, and reliance upon God. It is a truism from the Lord that “when the wicked rule the people mourn.” (Doc. & Cov. 98:9.) -- The Constitution — A Glorious Standard, Ezra Taft Benson, 1976 April General Conference

In my research I have found these shootings are extremely rare and sensationalized by the mainstream media. It is no secret they want our 2nd Amendment liberties gone sp they can exert more unrighteous authority on us. Secret combinations are at work in our highest parts of our government trying to implement tyranny on the general population at the present time. These people would like to control all private property in the United States. This is difficult to do when the general population is armed with firearms especially long guns.

More news about the Reign of Judges movie. They raised about $1,600,000 with the donations from many people for the movie. Then someone came in with a large sum of money to donate recently. News is they will begin filming the movie in 2021. They changed the name of the film also to: Reign of Judges, A New Freedom.

I like how this man talks about solving the world poverty through immigration. It is impossible. Take a listen at what he has to say:

I am for trying to help people improve their situation and lives in their own countries. Allowing mass unregulated and unfiltered immigration pouring over the United States border will not make life better for us or the immigrants that come. The United States cannot take in more than we can assimilate into American life. We have our own citizens to also worry about. Mass illegal immigration can also cause many blue collar worker wages to drop in many areas of employment making life harder for our own citizens already here trying to make a living.

We bred our mini Goldendoodle dog with another dog. She gave birth to four puppies two days ago. Our dog has been a good mother thus far. We have had to watch her to make sure she does not by accident lay on her puppies and smother one of them. She is getting better at it as time goes on.

They advocate on that forum for a peaceful break away of conservative States from the District of Columbia corruption and swamp to reform the Government under the Constitution. Our current government is ignoring the Constitution far too much now in my opinion. I personally do not see any other way other than breaking away but the LORD might prepare another way for liberty of the saints and His church to be preserved in the future.

I was saddened to learn that of the 200 countries in the world the United States is one of only seven countries that allows abortion after twenty weeks of pregnancy. The majority of the United States has also become a quite accepting of wicked sexual perversions. Consequences and or judgments will follow when the majority of a nation accepts and chooses sin.

Posted on September 24th 2019 Habakkuk was disgusted by the unrighteousness of his nation (Habakkuk 1:2-4). God told Habakkuk that He felt the same way, so His plan was to bring suffering to Judah (Habakkuk 1:5-11). This plan would bring Judah back to reality and back to dependence on God. The plan was to bring Babylonian armies to demolish and conquer Judah. Habakkuk was horrified by this plan because Habakkuk felt that God owed something better to Judah (Habakkuk 1:12-17). God answered his confusion in Habakkuk chapter 2. God’s only encouragement was to say that the Babylonians would also suffer for their injustice. Last week I couldn’t even pray because I was angry at God for not preventing America from descending ever farther into unrighteousness. So I asked myself why I felt entitled to have America remain righteous. I never felt entitled that another country be righteous when I lived there. I thought of the often cited 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If My people, who are called by My name, humble themselves…I will …heal their land.” This was a promise given to Israel, a nation in which 100% of the people (at the time) were His people. In the USA, only 10% to 30% are born again. So not all US residents are His people. If 100% of Israel repented, of course it would be healed. But if between 10% and 30% of a nation repent, the majority of the nation can still keep abortion legal. Islam conquered 4 out of the 5 historic apostolic centers of Christianity. None of those four centers have returned to Christianity since then. There is no guarantee that the USA will retain Christian morality or values. Those apostolic centers had more reason to expect God’s intervention than the US does. Sometimes suffering is the way that God purifies a nation, leading it to repentance. If it doesn’t lead a nation to repentance, His judgment at least glorifies His own sense of holiness and honor. Read more at: https://redstatesecession.org/escape-gods-judgment-of-the-usa/

Approximately one in six from America's youngest adult generation now identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, headlining a trend of increased LGBT identification in the country, according to a new Gallup survey. The survey, conducted throughout the last year, found that 16% of U.S. adults from Generation Z identify as something other than heterosexual. Those surveyed were born between 1997 and 2002. Generation Z is defined as those born between 1997 and 2012; the survey did not include those who have not reached age 18. Of those 18- to 23-year-olds who identify as LGBT, 72% of them classified themselves as bisexual. "Thus, 11.5% of all Gen Z adults in the U.S. say they are bisexual, with about 2% each identifying as gay, lesbian or transgender," Gallup stated. Additionally, the percentage is poised to grow, since many individuals from Generation Z have not yet reached adulthood and thus were not surveyed. https://www.theblaze.com/news/1-in-6-gen-z-lgbt

Read the Inspired Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible on this account on Exodus chapter 32: 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people; 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath. Thy people will repent of this evil; therefore come thou not out against them . . . 14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If they will repent of the evil which they have done, I will spare them, and turn away my fierce wrath; but, behold, thou shalt execute judgment upon all that will not repent of this evil this day. Therefore, see thou do this thing that I have commanded thee, or I will execute all that which I had thought to do unto my people. -------------------------------------------------------- It appears to me from these verses that Moses asked that mercy be given to the children of Israel and the LORD in response told Moses to be the executor of judgment for those who did not repent in the people of Israel. I do not think Moses convinced the LORD of anything in my interpretation of these scriptures. Moses asked for something and the LORD gave it to him.

I agree. What makes the American economy good is people willing to show up and work thirty-two to fifty hours per week to provide goods and services for others to purchase. Money is just a medium of exchange. People who are fully employed should not be getting this "stimulus" money. If others are not fully employed or out of work they should be able to apply for temporary assistance.

The Priesthood is not needed to perform many miracles in the name of Christ according to my understanding.

Giving kindness, gratitude and a little time to others mostly is free. Some people are really famishing for it as well especially in these times of isolation.

The barrage of pornography available on cellular phones and many other electronic devices with other wicked messages to twist people's reason are continually sent out to many. It is popular and cool now to become a homosexual, bi-sexual or pursue other sexual paths other than being heterosexual. Chastity and marriage between a man and woman are such an important part of our eternal progression. Evil is now continually called good and good evil. I am also very concerned about the spiritual wickedness that has forced its way into our Government. Already our freedom of speech and religion is under assault and it won't be long until many full blown attacks are also made on the 2nd Amendment as well. We need the LORD's grace more than ever to survive these last days. I'm not looking forward to many trials ahead that await the Saints of God.

I just looked at GameStop stock. It is at $52.40. Hopefully it stays at this price for over two years.

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." -- Benjamin Franklin "We would not accept the yoke of Christ; so now we must tremble at the yoke of Caesar." -- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen "Our increased reliance on laws to regulate behavior is a measure of how uncivilized we've become." (D. Todd Christofferson, "Moral Discipline," Ensign, November 2009, 105-8).

I admit that I am openly biased for the principles of freedom and the Constitution. It is good to let people choose what to do with their money, how to live their life and allow people effective and reasonable tools to defend their life, liberty and property. That government which governs least governs best in my opinion on most things. It is not needful for us to compel in all things with laws and regulations. Hate speech laws should never be allowed to censor free speech even if it gives a wretched and unpopular opinion. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. Where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty.

Well, their actions are not suppressing the stock price of Game Stop today. I just checked it and the stock is selling for close to $345 per share. Edit: I think people are tired of big corporations telling them what to do so they are buying the Game Stop stock again against the will of some people on Wall Street.

I am watching the GameStop stock crash from its high of over $400 per share. Today the stock is now at $260 per share. Glad I did not buy any of that stock. The GameStop stock was about $19.40 per share on December 29th 2020.
