Years ago, Neal Maxwell gave a prophetic talk on what's happening and what is to come.

Gina Carano talks about the heat she took standing up for free speech, which eventually led to Disney settling a lawsuit with her. She's a real American hero!

.@JeremyDBoreing continues to white-pill & combat the victim mentality that’s so pervasive in our society. He says that agency is “you happening to the world instead of the world happening to you. It’s the most unfashionable concept in modern politics. The left and the populist right are both in their own ways in the business of destroying agency.” He’s right. Whether you blame “white privilege” or the Jews, it doesn’t matter. YOU need to take responsibility for your own life. 🎥: youtu.be/ZR_7T6nNe_g?si…

Utopia is not the standard. Reality is. Every civilisation has sins if you judge it by today’s moral standards. You can build an entire career doing nothing but listing them. That is easy. The harder question and the only one that matters is this: compared to actual, existing alternatives, who has done better? I am not claiming the West is perfect. It is not. No society is. But if you are honest about measurable progress on rights, equality, and self-correction, it is still ahead of every other major system in the world today. So stop asking "is it perfect?" That is a childish question. Ask: "compared to what?"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spent more on humanitarian aid than nearly every nation on the earth in 2025. No faith-based entity provides more humanitarian aid. No Church membership dedicates more volunteer hours. No organization does it at the global scale.

Imagine if I went to play dedicated to mocking Jewish people as naive dupes following stupid fairy tales about a murder named Moses and his baby murdering psycho God. I bet @andrewklavan would have negative feelings about that. (Just a reminder there is better evidence for the Book of 1st Nephi than the Book of Exodus)

"If I told you there was one free thing you could do every Sunday that would make your kids happier, healthier, smarter, and closer to you, you'd think I was selling something." Take your kids to church regularly. I don't care if you believe. The data is so lopsided that skipping it is the parenting equivalent of refusing vegetables because you don't like the taste. Grades. Religious teens get As at almost twice the rate of nonreligious teens. In a class of 100, that's 24 A-students instead of 14. Church gives a kid the same academic boost as being born rich instead of poor. College. Working-class religious kids earn bachelor's degrees at double the rate of their nonreligious peers. Middle-class kids do it at 1.5x the rate. For families without a trust fund, this is one of the most powerful forms of upward mobility social scientists have measured. Character. Religious teens are far less likely to lie, cheat, or do things they hope their parents never find out about. They're more likely to care about racial equality, the elderly, and the poor. They reject the idea that morality is whatever works for you in the moment. That kind of kid doesn't happen by accident. It's built. Closeness. 60% of parents of religious teens say they feel "extremely close" to their kid, compared to 50% of nonreligious parents. The kids report the same thing back. They get along better with their parents, talk about hard stuff, and actually want to spend time with their family. Despair. Religious teens are dramatically less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, or feel that life is meaningless. 90% of devoted religious teens never binge drink, compared to 41% of the disengaged. Economists named the modern epidemic "deaths of despair." Regular church attendance is one of the strongest known buffers against it. Parents are spending fortunes trying to solve teen mental health. The most evidence-backed intervention is free. Purpose. Religious young adults report higher purpose, gratitude, life satisfaction, and resilience. These are the exact traits every parent says they want their kid to have. Here's why it works. Affluent families already surround their kids with networks of stable, accomplished adults through neighborhoods, schools, and parents' colleagues. Working and middle-class families usually don't. A congregation is often the last institution in American life that puts your kid in weekly contact with dozens of stable, employed, sober adults who know their name. It used to be called "a village." Now it barely exists outside of churches. "But I don't believe." Your kid doesn't need your theology. They need you to show up. "But church is boring." So is sitting through a kindergarten music recital. Parenting is the deliberate choice to be bored on purpose for someone you love. There's a church within 15 minutes of nearly every American home. You don't need money, connections, or credentials to walk in. Nothing else in this country will surround your kid with engaged adults, teach them moral seriousness, and give them a stable weekly rhythm at zero cost. You already drive them to practices that produce far less. The free thing on Sunday produces more, on more dimensions, than almost anything else you do as a parent. You don't have to believe anything. You just have to take them.

What would you do if this were true? You have Heavenly Parents who love you. You have a Savior who knows you individually — and whose power can transform you. And in the next life, you will have as much of heaven as you are willing to receive.

@Mormonger @ThoughtfulSaint This! 😂😂😂

@ThoughtfulSaint "I have better news..."

Do Mormons get their own planet? Nah… It’s way cooler than that😉

A God who creates beings capable of feeling only to torture them forever would be a psychopath. That doctrine is detestable.

The contrast of light and dark between these 2 was unbelievable @ThoughtfulSaint vs. @conservmillen

@ATIF_Podcast Is there outrage? Or just people laughing about it because it’s funny? Like, “This is hilarious, but we’re gonna do it anyways because we love and trust our leaders.” One of my favorite things about us is that we can laugh at ourselves. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The outrage over the new Young Women name change shows a concerning trend in the church IMO. The names literally do not matter. Like not at all. It has zero effect on your life in the church or discipleship. We don’t need to have an opinion on everything.

Church is crazy for this

@UVU this is when you needed to start worrying about safety.

@TribeRuffner @Gu5tav8 @TeeplesCY No answer? You could start here if you really are looking for truth fairlatterdaysaints.org/blog/2021/08/2…

@Gu5tav8 @TeeplesCY It should bother your spirit that your religion really has no answer for these claims. And let’s be clear - it’s not the first time these claims have been brought forth. And yet still…crickets. That should stir your spirit. Perhaps it has. Ill pray.

U.S. Latter-day Saint membership change by state, 2015–2025

This upcoming opening of the Temple Square Visitors’ Center on May 18 is just the beginning of an unprecedented public invitation to the world to come and see inside the historic Salt Lake Temple from April-October 2027.    This celebration will be a magnificent opportunity for all of God’s children to rejoice in the love of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer.

@SheWrites87 @DisneyDLV Yeah, this Star Path ain’t it :/

@DisneyDLV Don't care for this star path and the vault items. We don't even have a house skin like we usually get for bonus rewards. But to be honest I'm mostly disappointed by red chests. You could have done blue ones that would have given 200 moonstone if you gave 50 in each blue chest...

Embrace nature with the Elements of Nature Star Path!🌲 Complete duties and collect nature-inspired furniture and outfits in this update! ✨

@DisneyDLV You blocked me so I couldn’t comment back but thank you for demonstrating my point 🤝

@DisneyDLV I know the psychos will do their psycho thing if you added or prob even mentioned John Smith in the game…. But she loves him. 🥺

Adventure is calling on the wind 🍃. The Whispers of the Wind update launches April 8th!

@bing_TX @LukeFHan @JS_StrngstSldr Are the jokes about the truth claims of the church as if they’re impossible and absurd? If so, yes.

@LukeFHan @RebeccaHart007 @JS_StrngstSldr I make jokes about latter-day saints, Greg. Am I anti-lds?

Really?
