While my friend @RealMattFradd has been criticizing the LDS church, and Mormons (and fake Mormons) have been expressing outrage (and fake outrage), I went to see "The Book of Mormon," by the @SouthPark guys. Here's my reaction essay to @SpencerKlavan at The New Jerusalem substack. thenewjerusalem.substack.com/p/laughing-at-…

@jaredadairbell Glad everyone is okay. Sorry you had to go through that.

Yesterday was the worst day of my life: I took one son to school and went to my parents empty house to workout and get some work done. At 11:30 I left to go get both my sons out of school. I arrive at 12 to pick up one, drive 10 minutes away to pick up the other. I get into the car with my two boys, drive off from the school, take a left turn onto Timpanogos Hwy and that’s when I lose it. My eyes closed as though I fell asleep, which I practically did. While still driving, I wake up, breathe deep, and realize I’m having a diabetic seizure. I scream and I try to take control, but my seizure is preventing me from doing anything. I somehow check who’s behind me or in my blind spot so I can get into the service lane near an intersection. I finally get to the service lane and stop, but my seizure lets off the brake and I’m still going. I pass the intersection—I have no idea how—and I keep going, braking and going, braking and going. I black out. I wake up and now I’m in the middle lane, getting too close to oncoming traffic. I black out. I wake up and I’m now going into oncoming traffic. There’s literally a white suv about 20 feet in front of me. The driver moves out of the way. My boys are freaking out, crying, “YOU’RE GONNA CRASH!” I can’t do anything. I black out. I hear my mother-in law on the phone talking to me and my kids, I later learned my son answered the phone when the group was calling on WhatsApp. The worst of the seizure then takes hold and I slam the brakes, let go, slam the brakes. My car is now making noises, even it knows something is horribly wrong. I check my rear view and see a fire truck with its lights on. I check my right and there’s a blue Honda perpendicular to me, waving me to move forward. I was in a busy intersection. I’m still in the oncoming traffic side, but nobody is moving. Just watching. Finally, I slowly, but harshly slam into the light pole. I try to put the car in park but I go into reverse and hit the fire truck. I get it into park. Finally, the driving is over, but I’m still seizing. A lady comes to the passenger side, opens the door and asks if I’m ok. I tell her, “No.” She asks me what I need. That’s when my door opens with a fireman leaned down to me and I tell them, “Sugar. I’m diabetic.” I’m still can’t control my body, but somehow I manage to get that information out. The seizure ends. I try to get out so I can get on all 4s on the ground, but the fireman tells me to stay still. I tell him, “My children. Check on my children. Are they ok?!” The fireman says he sees my boys and they seem to be fine. That’s when I break and I wail like a baby. At the moment, I couldn’t recall everything that happened or how it happened, but I knew I had a seizure and put my two boys in great risk and possibly many others. They put me into the ambulance. The wailing doesn’t stop. I keep thinking about my boys and how scared they were and how it was all my fault. I should have checked my blood sugar before driving, even when I felt fine. I had no suspicion that I was low. None. The EMTs let me know that my wife called my phone, she knows and she’s on her way. I ask if I hurt anyone. Not a soul was hurt. I drove down Timpanogos Hwy having a seizure and no one was hurt. My kids are fine. Not a scratch on anyone, not even me. I wail like a baby again. The crying continued all throughout the day yesterday till my eyes were swollen. I can’t stop thinking the horrible things that could have happened to me, my boys, or people on the road. My life felt ruined for a moment in that ambulance. I put my children at risk, driving with low blood sugar. Stupid. Fortunately, everyone is ok. Everyone knows it was an accident and if anything it’s been a faith builder—in the worst possible situation, the best possible result occurred. I am embarrassed and ashamed, but I am also extremely grateful. I am sorry to anyone that was there.

"And [Jesus] hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father." (Revelation 1:6). While the JST removes the second conjunction ("And hath made us kings and priests unto God, his Father"), on June 16, 1844 Joseph quotes the original verse as part of his argument for the plurality of Gods and said, “It is altogether correct in the translation.” (Words of Joseph Smith, 378.)

My son Mikey just got his mission call.

@JBahumphrey @Latterdaytruth Sorry about that Jimbo!

@Latterdaytruth @Brunson20 I bought it, and am almost done. Really good book! The only issue I had was with the publishing company taking WAY TOO LONG to get me the book. Was supposed to be a Christmas gift, but it took over a month to get to me. Other than that, a good read!

Hi everyone! I recently was gifted the book “Before the Second Coming” by Richard Brunson (@Brunson20)! It’s been an amazing read! I particularly like the two part split of the book. Part 1 goes through signs preceding the second coming, while part 2 is a helpful guide to understanding the Second Coming better. If you want a copy, you can get one at BeforetheSecondComing.com! Happy reading!

@Latterdaytruth Short answer is yes but it will take me several more years to finish it.

@Brunson20 Any more in the works?

👇🏼

@Latterdaytruth Glad you are enjoying it!

@Brunson20 Such a good book! Thank you!

I was recently a guest on Randy Brown's Spiritual Survival YouTube Channel where we discussed the Second Coming. The links are in the replies for those who are interested.

@dustinharding Many people, myself included, beleive that we will have translated bodies in the New Jerusalem. Bodies that won't need food, won't get tired or sick etc. That alone would solve most of these issues.

You can’t convince me that every person will be doing temple work 24/7. How would we eat if no one is growing or preparing food? How would we have enough homes if no one is building them? What about technology development? Who will teach our kids?

@dustinharding @ShaunMcKnight Can you also make a countdown to the Second Coming? Please and thank you

@ShaunMcKnight Yep claude.ai/public/artifac…

Claude helped me build a live tracker that estimates the number of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 17.8 million and climbing There are about 35 new members added every hour. claude.ai/public/artifac…

People love to point to what they see as failed prophecies of Joseph Smith as evidence that he isn't a prophet. They don't like to talk about fulfilled prophecies. Let's look at some fulfilled prophecies of Joseph Smith.

@SasquatchU @Latterdaytruth @noahsmitty2003 As far as I know, no. But there are others in this thread who have reason to beleive he may have. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

@Brunson20 @Latterdaytruth @noahsmitty2003 Has he left the church?

Benjamin Park on TikTok seemed to be a bit upset about the Jesus Christ’s calling of Clark Gilbert to the Apostleship. @BenjaminEPark why did you omit his work on BYU-Pathway?

@Parley_Preaches @noahsmitty2003 @Latterdaytruth @BenjaminEPark Interesting. I texted with him a few months ago and I did not get that impression. But maybe he just didn't want me to know. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

@Brunson20 @noahsmitty2003 @Latterdaytruth @BenjaminEPark As of 9 months ago when he did an AMA on Reddit, he is no longer active. 😢

@noahsmitty2003 @Latterdaytruth @BenjaminEPark He is currently still active as far as I know.

@Brunson20 @Latterdaytruth @BenjaminEPark Dang. So he just got super involved in politics and disagrees with the brethren on that basis? Is he still active in the church at all?

@silvianagata @Latterdaytruth @noahsmitty2003 @BenjaminEPark Yes.

@Brunson20 @Latterdaytruth @noahsmitty2003 @BenjaminEPark Is he still active?
