a Conservative Saint

Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!” Text: Francis Scott Key, 1779–1843

@Apologetics941 Jesus Resurrected. He ate with the apostles. Where did the body go if your verse is a good translation?

Joseph Smith says God has a body. Jesus says he doesn't. Who do you think is more trustworthy?

@LDS_Dems cars are far from bullet proof. How about don't interfere and civilly vote for suicidal no accountability economy wrecking immigration when you get the chance?

These guys run up to your car, point their guns at you and tell you to get out.... You gonna comply because they are ICE officers or are you going to drive off?

Not every bad experience is trauma. Let me repeat that. Not every bad experience is trauma. Stop calling everything trauma.

@slc_saint @ScottK I struggle with an intersection between a promise in my patriarchal blessing and some personal revelation I received shortly after the mission. Years of uncertainty in that aspect of life led me to my wife and kids and I'll "wait on the Lord" like President Oaks said

The Priority Pyramid of Truth: 1. God's direct words (vision or scripture) 2. Prophetic messages delivered by God's command 3. Prophet's insight and guidance 4. Apostle's expound and teach on existing doctrine 5. Gospel manuals 6. Seminary and Gospel Doctrine Teachers 7. Grandpa 8. Oral traditions and historic teachings How it really works a lot of the time (what people resource first) 1. Oral traditions and historic teachings 2. What grandpa and my stake president said 3. Anything I heard once in seminary and Sunday School 4. Gospel manuals (what's that?) 5. McKonkie-isms and their extended influence 8. Anyone at General Conference, anytime. 6. What a prophet said once, one time. 7. Scriptures - a few verses I remember. 8. God's actual words do not take priority, 1 - 7 have equal weight.)

@bumpkin45 @ThoughtfulSaint I had the stupid third shot for a job that didn't last. It made me feel pretty sick right after taking it and soon after I lost a kidney through a renal infarction without explanation from the hospital,my regular doctor,and a cardiologist.When all is revealed I'll be pissed still

@ThoughtfulSaint The only area I struggled with Pres. Nelson was with the vaccine. Luckily, that wasn't doctrine.

There are two kinds of people in the church those who believe President Nelson and those who don’t. And I would say probably 30-50% of the church don’t. ———- “Regardless of what civil legislation may be enacted, the doctrine of the Lord regarding marriage and morality cannot be changed. Remember: sin, even if legalized by man, is still sin in the eyes of God! While we are to emulate our Savior’s kindness and compassion, while we are to value the rights and feelings of all of God’s children, we cannot change His doctrine. It is not ours to change. His doctrine is ours to study, understand, and uphold.” - President Russell M Nelson.

@Nikki_sphinxed When I read Nephi's poetry lamenting his sins I imagine while being an awesome example how hard it would be to not hate Laman and Lemuel. He doesn't specify but then again he forgives them while all swollen from being tied up in a storm.

“But behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you” 3 Nephi 12:44

@Lovemyproxy @Average_Homeboy When I did it I interpreted it in English after every sentence. It's a tradition that can die and we won't be harmed by its passing. With 20 more years of experience with my mission language I bet I would cringe to hear a recording of it.

@Average_Homeboy As for a missionary testifying in their language, the scriptures teaches the idea of using another language is so people in their own language can hear and understand the gospel. If you do speak another language, interpret what you said.

A list of things that should never bother you or ruin your sacrament meeting experience. 1. The speaker says “I’m nervous” or makes a joke about the bishopric 2. Return missionary testifies in the language they learned. 3. Babies/kids making noise 4. Short sleeves white socks.

@Lovemyproxy @ldsfilmguy With age comes falling asleep while in a comfortable position too. Unless you read the books you could miss a lot if it's not paced just right

@ldsfilmguy Don't watch it all at once. Take 2 days for each one. The first two are 3 hours. The last one is over 3 hours if you don't watch the extended versions, which are over 3 hours-last one is over 4 hours.

I'm going though a hard time right now, please keep shaming me for using this @ while never seeing LOTR.....

@NoblestCalling First two episodes were great. The doctor is black which isn't really possible that close to the civil war but they haven't destroyed the show.

I haven't watched the new Little House on the Prairie so I can't speak to it's wokeness, but I do want to know why all their eyebrows are perfectly shaped and groomed?

@LDS_Dems weaponize a car you win stupid prizes. I'll remind you that Donald J. Trump won every swing state and the popular vote. Democrats can keep doing stupid things but we'll win for decades if the Save America Act passes and you'll continue to have violent tantrums

I'm just saying, I don't think it is too much to ask immigration enforcement to drive marked cars, where a uniform and uncover their faces like literally every other law enforcement agency in the country.

@EricCMeadows No shame there. Avatar is so annoying by making man the bad guy. I tried to watch the second movie, the recycled the villain of the first movie. People think it looks amazing, meh. CGI is overdone

I have never watched Casablanca, or Citizen Kane, or Avatar, nor any anime.

@AuntSuziQuilts I guess it's a daily need for me. I tend to get them at smaller stores though

@CnservativeMrmn I've never been there for bananas.

Maybe I don't go enough but has Costco ever sold ripe bananas?

@CieloBonit @nicksortor poison tends to end with a heart attack... Not saying it happened but it could have

@nicksortor Whoa! Better safe than sorry.

🚨 JUST IN: Nearly 20 federal agents from various agencies, including the FBI, have been spotted at Lindsey Graham’s home in DC today, per NBC Agents are there “out of an abundance of caution,” and “there is no new evidence that has arisen since his death on Saturday night to indicate foul play,” law enforcement sources tell NBC

@mehblehdontcare @Jetskigrizzly Of this list I enjoyed three of the movies. Batman Begins, Inception, and the Dark Knight

@Jetskigrizzly All this list does is remind me how much Nolan bores me to tears.

Christopher Nolan films ranked correctly: 1) The Prestige 2) The Dark Knight 3) Interstellar 4) Batman Begins 5) Inception 6) The Dark Knight Rises 7) Oppenheimer 8) Dunkirk 9) Tenet

@YouSpooneeBard @DemzDeliver it's a crappy picture, I can't read any of those "banned" titles. Methinks this is a pseudo event to fuel narratives that we're book banners.

@DemzDeliver Something tells me the Bible won’t be included in her library even though it is also “banned.”

🚨 Dua Lipa opens banned book library after global right-wing book censorship.

@ldsfilmguy They're pretty good looking back. The Hobbit trilogy is not as good. There are moments of too much CGI which to me feels lazy.

I know this might be slightly controversial, but I have still never seen any of the Lord of the Rings films. None of them. 🤷

@k9ranger_king @TFloodeen Such a useful language español

My son Cameron is speaking in church today regarding his devotion to Jesus Christ that led him to sacrifice 2 years of his life to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ in Guatemala. He returns a changed young man having developed a personal relationship with our savior. I’m so proud!

@gunner_max61127 @RandomLDS scriptures are quoted and a prophetic dream is referenced in the picture. Whatever you think you know is just an excuse to not read Scripture and ask God to guide you to the truth

@CnservativeMrmn @RandomLDS I don't think Jesus was into AI slop or pedophilia like Mormons are, slop saint.

Two centuries have passed, and the fruit still answers the critics.

@EricCMeadows 22 years since I played one. I did pick an expensive instrument to own

Guys, guys, guys!!! Another French horn player moved into my ward…
