  1. In short, there are secret combinations, and then there's the secret combination. All those listed things tie into the latter. WEF = World Economic Forum. (wikipedia link) A group bound and determined to carry out Satan's goals. Founded by Klaus Schwab who may well be the anti-Christ or his minion at least. BRICS = Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa (and Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, United Arab Emirates). (wikipedia) (one goal is to replace the US dollar as the world's currency) Blackrock - one of like three companies that own the world - they own the banks that own the banks. the plan for digital currency - digital currency would allow, and is prerequisite, for restricting what, where, and how much you can buy. It's required for tracking "social credit" and associations / relationships. I'm reasonably certain it's part of the end of Revelation 13. These are the ones I've tripped over in the past year or so. I suppose the others are related, but it would take more than a few minutes to figure out how. The good news is, one day, the world will end. (The day the Lord comes again.)

    What do I do?

    Welcome, @Lan! Go see your bishop! He has the keys to help you in ways we cannot. Please trust me on this. Forget embarrassment and fear. Don't think about it or delay. Just go see your bishop. He can help you to repent and learn the things that will help you overcome. As to what will happen, that can vary, but even if you don't go to the temple for a while, through repentance, you can become worthy to attend the temple again. I don't know about a mission. What I do know, is that your bishop is there to lovingly help you in your efforts to overcome and his keys aid him and you in that process. Please note that any instinct to hide your addiction comes from Satan, not God. God wants you to come to him. Talking to your bishop and parents will help you defy Satan (who wants you to feel alone and ashamed and to keep it to yourself). Defying Satan is one of the ways we overcome him. Coming to Christ is even better. Hope that helps.
  3. He's talking about our official website. (Just one example of why I wish everyone did as I do - take the time to get the link and include it in your post - whether for quotes or scripture.)
  4. I have vague memories of Peterson himself saying this, or maybe saying he arrived earlier in the day.
  5. Nice to see you, @prisonchaplain.
  6. If you're right, perhaps it's from the time we don't know much about, when a portion of the Nephites fled the Lamanites yet again and first met with the people of Zarahemla. But then, I'm not entirely certain Nephi, Jacob, Joseph and descendants actually had a church as opposed to just preaching...
  7. Elder Holland is back on IG today, posting his scripture study thoughts.
  8. @pam, I was going to PM you, but I can't add the images via PM (I would have to link them from a secure website and I don't have one to which I can upload images). So... Could you look into whether the mobile template for ThirdHour can be updated to include the user menu? Here are some screen shots showing the issue. I'm comparing with the Fountain Pen Network because it uses the same software as TH. (Perhaps a different service level or package, but still the same software.) 1. Here's TH's user menu in a regular browser. The red box highlights the things that are missing from the mobile template (along with the actual menu): 2. Here's what the user menu icon should look like. (You can see both sites have the three icons for "unread", "add", and "search".) 3. Here's FPN's open user menu. TH's would probably be shorter, like the regular non-mobile template shows, but still, it should have some stuff. I'm always frustrated that I can't see notifications or PMs when using my Android device. Grateful for whatever you can do. I know you may have to ask others and it may take a while. Thanks!
  9. (We're missing a "barf" emoji.) French, Catalina, Russian... There are tomato-based dressings...
  10. She could be one of those heathens who doesn't keep it in the fridge!!
  11. PS: If it helps any, yesterday the reddit FP folk showed their viciousness and intolerance as much as possible when someone brought the religion of the owners of a popular online FP shop into the discussion. So, they only out-Christian us when religion and politics are not part of the discussion (a fact I was already well aware of).
  12. We all do.
  13. Sorry, three of us are not enough. I'm well aware that forums are less popular - likely because parents buy their kids cell phones and the kids think everything worth doing has an app. Probably something to do with crappy American education, too, but... 28 "guests" have been here in the past 3 minutes. 83 in the past 10 minutes. Sure, some are bots, some are just viewing search results, but I have to believe there's some percentage of those who might sign up and stay if: The mobile template had the user menu so that folks could sign in, sign up, manage user stuff like notifications, etc. If we weren't so quick to call people trolls / or so brutal when folks post something we don't like When a newbie signs up for a fountain pen forum, or the reddit sub, and introduces themselves, they basically get love-bombed. It sucks that members of Christ's Church are being out-Christianed by a bunch of fountain pen users (especially the ones on reddit).
  14. English muffins, by the look of it. And that's not relevant. She used a knife to chop pieces off the stick. We don't see the chopping, just one chunk falling from the knife, and she picked it up with her fingers and dropped it on the muffin.
  15. Better answer - watch the video @NeuroTypical posted - that's basically it.
  16. She just hacked up the cold, hard butter with a knife. If you've ever tried to use a stick of butter right out of the fridge, but without putting it in a butter dish, that's what happened. (Why she didn't just ask for a butter dish is beyond me.)
  17. When you and I are the only two users left, I'm pretty sure MGF will shut it down and save their money. I'd like us to try encouraging folk to come and stay (we've had poor luck at that), but first, the mobile version has to have full functionality because the vast majority of the world are crazy enough that that's the only way they'll use the site.
  18. What? The butter is obviously hard and not in a butter dish. The notion that you can easily scrape spreadable butter off a cold, hard stick of butter that's just resting on its own wrapping is absurd. Of course, one could have put it in a butter dish that has enough of a lip to let you scrape some off. Or you could have put it in a dish and then in the microwave at a low power setting to soften it. But barring those things, I'm not sure what the issue is...
  19. @mikbone, I'm just bemoaning the dwindling participation here. I've been mentally planning a post about it, but haven't made one. There will be no point unless @pam can fix the mobile template for the site to include the user menu (or have someone do it). It's lacking the user menu. I guess I should make another post about that.
  20. Yes, all 5 of the rest of us are now aware. Methinks you're gonna need another platform if you want to reach a few more of us...
  21. If we want to get realistic, Covey's isn't a 4-box matrix either - in real life, both urgency and importance are scales, not "on/off" attributes. The 4 boxes just simplify it for teaching. The learner must then adapt it to their real life - that is, they complicate it themselves once they understand the basic principle. Thus, yours is both a 4-box matrix and a scale. Thus: Top-left: righteous & abundance Top-right: righteous & poverty Bottom-left: wicked & abundance Bottom-right: wicked & poverty These are the general "groupings", but one can fall anywhere within the entire chart.
  22. FWIW, I don't believe that the pride cycle or the Book of Mormon teachings from which it is abstracted were ever meant to apply to each individual. They are meant to apply to the whole community. They are the enacting of God's promise: "obey and prosper". That promise is made in every volume of scripture. And where it's mentioned, "prosper" is not explicitly defined, but its opposite is defined as "being cut off from God", which suggests that "prosper" means "enjoy a connection with God" (covenants and the Holy Ghost, etc.). But despite this community promise (which we see played out repeatedly and most clearly in the Book of Mormon, but also in the Old Testament), the experiences of individuals within the community seem to vary (probably because we think of "prosper" the way the natural man does, and not as the spiritual man should). In other words, I don't see anything wrong with the pride cycle abstraction, so long as it's tied to the community as a whole - and technically, even to individuals so long as we define "prosper" in the proper way.
  23. In a normal matrix, the top left would be the left half of the X axis and the top half of the Y axis. Etc. For example, look at Covey's time management matrix. Horizontal is urgency, vertical is importance: Right now, your quadrants are: top-left: Jesus, blessings top-right: Jesus, curses bottom-left: Satan, blessings bottom-right: Satan, curses It makes no sense... You need different axes. Any more, I'm uncertain what your theory is, so I'm having a hard time guessing what they should be. Perhaps "spiritual status" by "temporal status"?
  24. No, I'm just suggesting relabeling your axes. Right now, you appear to be using "poor" to mean something different from "poverty", and "rich" different from "wealthy", and without an included "dictionary", that's confusing.
  25. How can we send you mail without an address? I think your matrix might make more sense if one axis were for "blessed / cursed" and the other axis were for "rich / poor" Then you have four quadrants (though one can be anywhere within the matrix): blessed-rich blessed-poor cursed-rich cursed-poor ...Does that make sense, or am I missing something?
