My understanding of this issue specifically is that they're getting told stuff that isn't true - thus, they're not actually informed. Note that they didn't go into detail in the Peterson podcast, and all I know so far is what's on the website and what was in the podcast. Heaven knows. So far, it seems they have an event with speakers, singers, and comedians scheduled, and that's about it. I guess listening to all that will tell us more... Some of the social media links have videos / interviews that shed some light (video on X, for example). FWIW. (Mostly I figured folks here would be more aware than I am, since I live under a rock. )

Anybody heard about this yet? Link to their website. I just finished watching a Jordan Peterson video interviewing the organizers. Not finding anything I dislike. Am curious about other folks' reactions and to see how their event in DC goes.

I tend to agree with @mikbone, but... 1. Have you prayed to ask the Lord to confirm your decision to share your insights with your endowed family members? 2. The thing that stands out most to me is that if we receive revelation that is not already public knowledge (or known to the general membership, e.g. via temple ordinances), that it is for us and us alone. But I think you have to balance this out - are you sharing a new way of looking at things (such as new interpretations of scripture parables such as Elder Bednar sometimes uses in his GC talks), or are you receiving as-yet-unrevealed knowledge? 3. Is it in your stewardship? Is it consistent with revealed knowledge? Etc. Etc. Etc. I'm sure you know all these questions. So, consider them, make your decision, pray, and move forward as the answer to your prayer indicates. If needed, explain all that to your family who are concerned about your actions (assuming you move forward with explaining your insights). FWIW.

I cannot remember the last time I did an endowment session that wasn't full to capacity (though with women filling the back rows of the men's side). And I always go in the middle of the day when normal work hours keep others from attending. Usually the "outside working hours" sessions are already full when I book my session. Our "ward temple days" are planned a month or two in advance. FWIW. I'm sure that is the case in some places. But they also have to staff those temples and use them. I'm confident the Lord knows where to place temples, and when.
-
My understanding is that at least part of how they decide to add a temple is the usage of the nearest existing temple(s). I don't know how far in advance the temples in central Utah are booked, but many of the northern Utah temples can be booked up days in advance (apparently, especially for baptisms and confirmations).

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.)

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.

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.)
-
I have vague memories of Peterson himself saying this, or maybe saying he arrived earlier in the day.
-
Nice to see you, @prisonchaplain.
-
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...

Elder Holland is back on IG today, posting his scripture study thoughts.

@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!

(We're missing a "barf" emoji.) French, Catalina, Russian... There are tomato-based dressings...

She could be one of those heathens who doesn't keep it in the fridge!!

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).

We all do.

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).

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.
-
Better answer - watch the video @NeuroTypical posted - that's basically it.
-
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.)
-
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.
-
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...

@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.

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...
