@ThoughtfulSaint No emails needed when you got algorithm, say it with me! ALGORITHM. OK Boomer, you got it? ALGORITHM. Well done.

You guys…. He knows about the “email list” 🤣 Yikes…

@DoBetter_ @LatterDayBean The Church is practicing what it preaches. Pay off debt. Stay out of debt, live within your means, and save for future needs. As I follow it's example I seem to be happier. Must be something heavenly about that.

@LatterDayBean Possibly. Arguably Jesus may have wanted any church professing his name to give almost all they take in, and thus remain poor. But really, that's a false dichotomy. Do you see any possible alternatives between "poor" and continuing to grow a ~$230B investment fund?

As expected, the Mormons came out in force in the replies to defend the church's massive investment fund. So many smug and self-righteous Mormons with knee jerk reactions and almost no apparent ability to take a critical lense at anything about their church.

@BradWitbeck @TribeRuffner @lightninglady36 @TheReeveOliver Lol...Brad, you have caused him to have a verbal meltdown.

@TribeRuffner @lightninglady36 @TheReeveOliver Yes, the internet is absolutely famous for its utter lack of misinformation 🤣

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has never "demanded" my money. I willingly give a tithe of a 10th of my increase as a sacrifice to God. And what's the "religious corporate greed" being used for? As a safety net and to feed the hungry? How is this bad?

@LukeFHan @Dec_16_1773 @DrFrankTurek I felt sorry for my lds brother, that was like walking into the lions den.

Frank Turek @DrFrankTurek, I saw your recent video where you and a Mormon debated Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon witnesses. It had some problems. Would you be willing to go into more depth on this topic in a conversation with me (a Latter-day Saint)? I've done quite a few videos on the topic and have had productive video dialogues with Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox YouTubers. I am going to participate in a reaction to your video soon, but I wanted to reach out to see if you'd be willing to engage first. youtu.be/PKWyGEf2Qig?si…

@CerebralCereal0 @RestoredTruth8 Just ask grok. He's been helpful for me. Both with double predestination and asymmetric predestination. Though I being lds, find it very strange.

@RestoredTruth8 HOW MANY TYPES OF PREDESTINATION ARE THERE?!

I get it Jordan. It’s hard to believe God is an evil narcissist… that’s why you struggle to say yes to these things…

When we consider the character of the Savior we tend to focus immediately on His attributes, such as virtue, integrity, humility, compassion, and courage, but we should also consider, what is it in Jesus that gives rise to such character traits? I believe they are the natural fruit of the thoughts, desires, and intents of His heart. Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart. Thus, if we are to succeed in developing a Christlike character, we must possess His motivations—His thoughts, desires, and intents of the heart. For us, it will require what the scriptures call a “mighty change of heart.” Jesus thinks and acts out of pure love; He yearns to bless and lift others; and He delights to do the will of God. With faith in Christ, we can pray that the Holy Spirit will effect a mighty change in us to instill these same divine motivations in our heart and help us practice the attributes of a Christlike character. #GeneralConference "Little Lamb" by Greg Olsen.

In my 74 years, there are only a few experiences where nearly every emotion and feeling are solidly cemented in my conscious mind. One of the most poignant is as I knelt across the altar from Kathy in a holy temple of God. The hopes, the dreams, the love we shared, all burst in a kaleidoscope of anticipation as we heard those unforgettable words, “for time and for all eternity.” Marriage is ordained of God. Because of the sealing authority, this journey is divinely ordained to stretch into the farthest reaches of eternity. With faith in Jesus Christ and devotion to your covenants with God and with each other, I promise you your marriage in this life and the next will become more glorious, more beautiful, more heavenly, more wonderous, more filled with an eternal love we can only now begin to comprehend. #GeneralConference

May we demonstrate the pure love of Christ in our families, in our communities, and in all of our interactions with God’s children. — President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) #GeneralConference

Truly, Jesus Christ is the way to peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come. He knows and loves each of us perfectly, and invites us to walk with Him, abide in Him, and follow His example of ministering to others one by one in charity and love. We have been reminded of the central role of marriage and families in our Heavenly Father’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. May we demonstrate the pure love of Christ in our families, in our communities, and in all of our interactions with God’s children. #GeneralConference #GreaterLove

@HolyRebellion11 youtu.be/ErFf98ZYIyc?si… Maybe someone you can have a dialog with.?

Just watched a great video talking about our faith. Worth a watch and comment. Maybe some of you podcasters can have them on your channels? youtu.be/ErFf98ZYIyc?si…

@Luis_AlonsoS_TR I'm seeing a lot of hate and tribalism out there. God is love. We need to remember who we are and why we are here. Follow Christ, be a peacemaker, help gather Isreal on both sides of the veil. We can't be distracted and become bitter. Submit like Alma when oppressed by enemies

Why is #PresOaks talking about the importance of loving even our enemies? What’s in the future for the Church? #GeneralConference #SaintsonX

@stackerco It shows that he loved the·Lord and wanted to put things right. He trusted in God and God delivered him a miracle. This is the type of faith that we all need in our lives. Are we willing to give all to God? To trust in him completely?

I don’t see how a story about selling your car just to pay tithing can be framed as anything but troubling.

@ranix1946 @Sola_GPT This is misinformation. There are no accounting, tax forms or even questions about how much you earned or paid in tithing. We are only asked " are you a full tithe prayer"? It's between us and the Lord what we consider a tithe is, and whether we pay it or not.

@Sola_GPT Those of us who give to our church choose to give. We are NOT FORCED as the LDS is by showing their tax forms to church leaders.

If you wouldn’t sell you car to pay tithing are you even Christian?

Nearly 2,000 years ago, a small group of women rose while it was still dark and made their way towards the tomb where the body of their beloved Lord, Jesus Christ, had been laid to rest. Despite grief, fear, and unanswered questions, they encountered the empty tomb and learned for themselves the glorious truth of His Resurrection. These few women became the world’s first witnesses of the single greatest event in the history of the world. We must all do the same. We must encounter the empty tomb, experience the reality of what it means and, in turn, share that witness with others. No, we were not with Mary on that blessed Easter morning. We did not see what she and the other women saw. But we can ask ourselves: what have we seen, felt, or experienced? Shall we not, therefore, become witnesses of Jesus Christ? Shall we not share our love for Him with others? My dear friends, on this holy Easter morning, I offer my witness: He is risen. #GeneralConference

“As followers of Christ, we should seek to live peaceably and lovingly with other children of God who do not share our values and do not have the covenant obligations we have assumed. “In a democratic government we should seek ‘fairness for all.’ In countless circumstances, strangers’ suspicion or even hostility gradually give way to friendship when personal contacts produce mutual respect.” — President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) #GeneralConference

The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain. I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life. It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love. It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature. Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next. #GreaterLove #GeneralConference Artwork: “Above All” by Kelsy and Jesse Lighweave

@RestoredTruth8 @HwsEleutheroi @ThoughtfulSaint What was your favorite talk from general conference today?

@HwsEleutheroi blocks @ThoughtfulSaint for steel-manning Aaron’s point correctly… even thought James said Jacob lied about it… And yet they deny Aaron said what’s in this video… Y’all are predestined to contradict yourselves and scripture.

The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to “Come home.” Feeling we don’t belong, struggling with doubts, or being limited by traditions are just a few of the reasons we don’t immediately find our way home. But even as societal pressures pull people away from faith, life’s deeper questions don’t go away. Only Jesus Christ can fully restore that light and joy into your life. We all struggle and need patience, service, and love from each other. To those who are trying to help, hold on to truth and keep your covenants. To those who are struggling, know you are loved and the Savior is calling you home. I witness that Christ is our Redeemer. When we fall short, He repairs the breaches in our lives. The Savior loves all of us and is tenderly calling for you and for me to come home. Come home. #GeneralConference

Have you ever stood at an empty airport luggage return carousel, as it circles endlessly, wondering if your bag somehow was diverted to Kathmandu? Have you ever been told the last known location of your checked bag was somewhere between “It is sure to turn up somewhere” and “You should consider buying everything new”? Have you ever been ghosted by a suitcase that contained essential materials for a critical presentation? If so, this message might interest you. #GeneralConference
