  1. There is a movie being released about part of the Book of Mormon very soon. It was directed by a member of the Church and will be released December 8th 2023. The movie is called: The Oath. I am very happy and waiting to see it. The website is here: https://oathmovie.com/
  2. Mirkwood, there was an Unsolved Mysteries on the Gurdon Light in Arkansas. I suggest you watch it. I am posting the video below. The video starts at 2:10 and goes until 13:10. It is interesting to me and perhaps supernatural.
  3. Have you ever heard of the Gurdon Lights in Arkansas?
  4. I found this story amusing. Thanks for sharing it.
  5. Six new temples in South America and four in Africa. I believe many are being baptized and the LORD's church is growing a lot in these places. Humble people willing to listen to the LORD. My son said within the last few months, the whole Nashville, Tennessee mission had about 96 baptisms in one month.
  6. A big scam going around now is the person getting a message they won the lottery. They just have to pay the tax money to have the millions of dollars in prize money released to them. This is not how lotteries work. They take the taxes out of the prize money before they give it to you. You do not have to pay any money up front to have lottery money released to you. One person told a story about two older ladies (around the age of 80) that paid $20,000 about to get the "millions" they won in prize money released to them. They were ripped off.
  7. Oh come now, it is not even mid September yet. I am still celebrating the American worker. Happy Labor Day! 🙂
  8. So glad the news of the hurricane hitting Florida drowned out the calls for more citizen gun control in the State. No one in the mainstream news seems to care about the murders of black people continually in Chicago. Our mainstream news media is pretty corrupt.
  9. I hope Oliver Anthony releases a clean version of his Rich Men North of Richmond song. TheTry That In a Small Town song was good as well. I enjoyed it.
  10. I really respect Jordan Peterson. He said it would be best if the Republicans picked someone else other than Donald Trump as he was too controversial. I agree. But Trump will likely win the Republican nomination as a candidate for President. And NeuroTypical, a President cannot pardon himself. He has no authority to do it.
  11. Why? These all seem like pretty arbitrary policies that would make it harder for people to vote, but not necessarily prevent the kind of fraud you claim is happening. You have not looked into the lack of security in vote by mail. Who is ballot harvesting? (Look up ballot harvesting and what it is along with ballot curing.) Who is actually voting? Where are all these ballots coming from? Who is handling the ballots? Most of these questions are answered by citizens showing up to vote with valid identification. I am also for paper ballots as it leaves evidence versus just computers tallying votes. I do not want voting machines connected to the Internet either as they can be remotely hacked. Why only two days to vote? Because it gives people who are trying to do voter fraud less time. If many voting polls are opened on the day before election day (08:00 to 21:00 hours servicing everyone in line before 21:00 hours) and on election day people have adequate time to vote. Why no same day voter registration? Hello, my name is John Smith, and I am here to vote. Same man moves to another voting poll. Hi, my name is Jeff Jones, and I am here to vote. Same man moves to another voting poll. Hello, my name is Sam Smith, and I am here to vote. All these safe guards were in place to help protect the integrity of the vote in the past and now many of them are gone in vote by mail months ahead of election day. No system is full proof, but vote by mail is the least secure of all voting methods.
  12. You have not looked closely enough at the 2020 elections then. Election laws in many States were changed illegally. Vote by mail looks like it is here to stay sadly, and it makes it a lot easier to do voter fraud when you do vote by mail and have weeks or months to pull it off. I would have far more confidence in our elections if they only did vote in person, showing valid identification, only allowing two days of voting. Absentee ballots should only be allowed by the military or people soliciting for an absentee ballot with a valid reason. Edit: No same day voter registration either. People should be registered to vote at least 21 days before an election.
  13. Some of the greatest missionaries for Christ were Nephi and Lehi written about in the books of Helaman and III Nephi. Here a small portion of an account given of their missionary labors in Helaman chapter 5: 17 And it came to pass that they did preach with great power, insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto them the wrongs which they had done. 18 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did preach unto the Lamanites with such great power and authority, for they had power and authority given unto them that they might speak, and they also had what they should speak given unto them— 19 Therefore they did speak unto the great astonishment of the Lamanites, to the convincing them, insomuch that there were eight thousand of the Lamanites who were in the land of Zarahemla and round about baptized unto repentance, and were convinced of the wickedness of the traditions of their fathers. After these missionary labors Nephi and Lehi went to the land of Nephi to preach to others but were captured and thrown into a prison. After a miraculous spiritual spiritual experience in the prison about three hundred more people were converted. These three hundred also began missionary labors. 50 And it came to pass that they did go forth, and did minister unto the people, declaring throughout all the regions round about all the things which they had heard and seen, insomuch that the more part of the Lamanites were a convinced of them, because of the greatness of the evidences which they had received. 51 And as many as were a convinced did lay down their weapons of war, and also their hatred and the tradition of their fathers. 1 And it came to pass that when the sixty and second year of the reign of the judges had ended, all these things had happened and the Lamanites had become, the more part of them, a righteous people, insomuch that their a righteousness did exceed that of the Nephites, because of their firmness and their steadiness in the faith. -- Helaman chapter 6 The more part of the Lamanite nation after this laid down their arms and there was peace in the land. The Nephites and Lamanites began to have free interactions with each other as recorded in Helaman chapter 6. 7 And behold, there was peace in all the land, insomuch that the Nephites did go into whatsoever part of the land they would, whether among the Nephites or the Lamanites. 8 And it came to pass that the Lamanites did also go whithersoever they would, whether it were among the Lamanites or among the Nephites . . .
  14. I went and saw the Sound of Freedom movie today with my son. It is a powerful film in my opinion, exposing the child human trafficking that is going on in the world.
  15. Meanwhile they add many expensive and unwanted electronic features into cars. And from what I read they want kill switches in all cars by 2026 and software that spies on drivers monitoring them for being "impaired." I listen to AM radio all the time still in my car.
  16. I have been praying Joe Biden will be removed from office almost daily recently. He is a terrible leader and the worst President of my lifetime in my opinion. Hopefully the next person put into the office of President will do a much better job.
  17. I ran across this quote recently and I liked it. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught: “There is never a time, when the spirit is too old to approach God. All are within the reach of pardoning mercy, who have not committed the unpardonable sin."
  18. I think Affirmative Action needs to go away. This Supreme Court decision is certainly one step in the correct direction for that.
  19. I liked the message of this video. Those who are Christians should heed the warnings and information Mister Cahn gives.
  20. What the Hades is First Nations People Leave? In my opinion it is another excuse to get out of work. I use all of my paid time off and I get plenty of it in my opinion. Every Federal Holiday plus about about 192 hours annually (about a month off). My employment is pretty good.
  21. One of my greatest fears is having an old broken body, no longer being able to work, and being broke. I read a survey they did of Generation X (my generation) had about 18% of people have nothing saved for retirement and about 35% had less than $10,000 saved for retirement purposes. These people who save nothing will be old and broke sadly. Delay too long and it will be too late and you will end up working with whatever work you can find which likely will not be much opportunity as many employers do not want to hire old people.
  22. No. There are more members of Christ's restored church outside of the United States now. The bulk of our convert baptisms will come from the more humble nations in the world I believe. I imagine too that we will not see large amounts of converts inside America anymore for a while. We are a wicked and/or idol worshipping nation with the majority that live here in my opinion. Law of chastitiy standards are almost completely abandoned by most of this nation sadly and we are seeing the fruits of it. Hopefully there will be a great spiritual awakening in the future.
  23. I am going back to the original topic. The dwarf door was hidden and only moonlight revealed where this entrance to Moria was. So this was not an entrance anyone could easily find.
  24. 2 preach the Word; be instant in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts. 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned toward fables. -- II Timothy chapter 4 ============ I think the above has happened many times in the world since the Apostle Paul wrote it. These scriptures are also applicable now in my opinion.
  25. Wow, seven children. My brother also had seven children with his wife. That is a heavy calling to be the father and provider of seven. I only had four children with my wife and that is all I wanted. Things have gotten more difficult over the years as my wife has had multiple serious health issues but the LORD has blessed us. May the LORD bless you as you seek to raise up righteous posterity to the LORD.
