@TheMiddleborne @shagbark_hick Yeah the whole "oh a horrible thing happened to this individual therefore thing bad" I can do that a hundred times over just using Chicago Public schools and Los Angeles Unified School District. But they can't show public schools are safer for kids so...

@ShawnPhoMaker @shagbark_hick I’ve been reliably informed that, because they’re mandatory reporters, this would never happen

Say what you will about public schooling, but at a minimum, at a public school there is a process by which abused children can appeal to outside parties. When it comes to families homeschooling on isolated estates, you really never know what's actually going on out there. Again, I'm not "anti-homeschooling" per se, but these are the kinds of things that homeschooling advocates are going to have to have a serious answer for as homeschooling continues to grow in popularity.

@TheMiddleborne @shagbark_hick Good thing nothing like that ever happens in publics schools. I mean at least they would never cover up the abuse of a teacher playing sex games and taking and sharing lewd photos at an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL least. abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-p… nbcchicago.com/news/local/new…

@shagbark_hick Like that virginia girl who was raped by a boy in the girls bathroom and they ignored it and tried to silence her? That process?

@iampegram @DChadwickAuthor @FatherChrisVor1 5 Reasons the Catholic church isn't lead by Christ (its not an attack - we have to get to the truth) 1: 5 billion spent on sex abuse allegations 2: History of committing genocide 3: Violent wars for power 4: Taking from the poor to satisfy greed 5: Crushing freedom for politics

@DChadwickAuthor @FatherChrisVor1 It's not hatred to point out the many inconsistencies between LDS teachings and Christianity, any more than it is hatred to point out the many inconsistencies between Roman Catholicism and Christianity.

So I’ve been trying to process how all this came to be this morning, and I think I’ve settled on a pretty solid theory. The conservative movement is fractured right now. Everybody knows that. Candace Owens took a lot of the “woke right” audience with her when she departed in 2024. Not only that, after Trump was sworn in again, they lost a ton of the casual election audience, and ad revenue has been down ever since. But it’s more than just that... The Daily Wire has been hemorrhaging cash for a while now, mostly due to the failed entertainment ambitions of Jeremy Boreing. The theatrical release of Am I Racist, in particular, was a huge gamble that did not pay off. Combine that with the low performance of DW as a conservative streaming service, and it required them to restructure. Boreing was released last year so that this could be accomplished. So what do they do? Well, they can’t be the entertainment juggernaut they so desperately wanted to be anymore, so they decided, “Hey, we need to keep a hold of the audience we already have.” Who is their primary audience? A big chunk of it is conservative Catholics and evangelicals. So they have decided to throw their lot in with theological discussion in an effort to keep these guys around. Enter Matt Fradd. Latter-day Saints, while staunchly conservative and strong political allies, are not nearly as big as the audience they are now catering to. And anti-Mormon sentiment is, and always has been, strong in these communities. Since Matt Fradd was brought on in February, he has gone on at least three anti-Mormon tirades, this most recent one actually under the Daily Wire masthead. But what’s more is that this shift toward a more directly anti-Mormon posture manifested itself as early as September 2025, when news director Cabot Phillips responded to LDS X influencer @sister_slay, completely unprompted, attacking Joseph Smith and LDS beliefs. This behavior was, while soundly ratioed by LDS X users, not condemned or addressed publicly by anyone at the Daily Wire. So it is clear what the Daily Wire is now. It is not the same DW that it was when Donald Trump was re-inaugurated. It has changed to cater to a hyper-creedalist theology in an attempt to keep the doors open. This is who the Daily Wire is now. And it is clear their LDS audience has been sacrificed. So, my fellow Latter-day Saints, I say it is time we follow the advice of @JeremyDBoreing, and that is to not give money to people who hate you.

@whoisbuddyjeff @Buddyjeffsdead @DChadwickAuthor Talking to yourself and calling ME bananas? That projection though...

@Buddyjeffsdead @ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor Bingo bango!

I’ll do that as soon as you can prove the trinity from biblical scripture. Oh wait a minute! You can’t! It’s not there! Guess that means you need to shut the fuck up, that’s what I would do if my version of God wasn’t actually in the Bible.

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor It has moved so far as to be identical to the original argument; that Jews have never had, or used Trinitarian theology to explain anything in the OT.

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor Your moving goalposts are really cool. Electric or gas powered?

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor The projection in this post is absolutely staggering. At no point have you even begun to show that Jews used theology in any way similar to the Trinity to explain any of the verses you have brought up. Someone saying they can read it into the verse

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor I guess you could come to that conclusion if your presupposition requires it and not because you can read and think.

@TheMiddleborne Of all the things in this photo to take issue with, THAT is the one you are going with? I mean you aren't wrong but still.

Who tf takes a selfie with an iPad

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor The Jews have always had a different explanation for the Angel of the Lord, it has no similarity to the Trinity. Dr Brown saying he can explain the Angel of the Lord with Trinitarian thought is him explicitly reading the Trinity into the text.

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor You’re using a universal negative claim statement. One piece of evidence to the contrary defeats it. You should be more careful with your words.

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor My argument isn't those who already believe in the Trinity can't read it into verses found in the OT. It is that those who strictly use the OT don't, and never have come to the conclusion of the Trinity, cause it is not taught in there. You got confused somewhere.

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor Yeah you’re right. No one has shown logically the trinity in the OT. youtu.be/BNt5NKSse0Y?si…

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor Well the beginning is already incorrect, the Shema is not absolute monotheism - it was about exclusivity/loyalty, not the lack of existence. The Two Powers theory is nothing like the Trinity in almost every possible way, you either do not understand it, or the Trinity.

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor Perhaps it is. share.google/aimode/QgJpgtM…

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor Your argument is terrible. Your claim is the Trinity is clearly taught in the OT. If they don't, for 3,300 years perhaps its not in there.

@ShawnPhoMaker @DChadwickAuthor Ignorance of a thing isn’t proof the opposite is true. Super great attempt though!

@whoisbuddyjeff @DChadwickAuthor Yes it is so clearly taught in the old Testament that the one religion that uses that exclusively has nothing even resembling the Trinity. It is so clearly taught that early Church fathers like Origen and Justin Martyr were subordinationists.

@DChadwickAuthor No, but good try. Actually, bad try.

@TheMiddleborne If those mandatory reporters are totally ineffective, that is this a meaningful difference? nber.org/papers/w30795

The “Mandatory Reporters” allowed this, btw

Missed the joke award

@TheMiddleborne wow a few families have high schoolers at elementary level education? Good thing entire schools aren't doing the same thing or that would be AWKWARD foxbaltimore.com/news/project-b…

Every critique of homeschool outliers also applies to public school outliers. And some not-so-outliers.

@polysophical @MormonSerf he didn't pay enough tithing for that upgrade

@MormonSerf Where's wife #4 ?

@GBNT1952 Very incredibly Christian.

Uh huh… there’s a reason they have teamed up with the Islamists.

@3YearLetterman @LibertyCappy Take so bad Three Year Letterman wrote a serious comment?

@LibertyCappy They are communists, they hate America, they are poor, and they are not even real Europeans Let them wallow in their poverty and keep them away from the country that kicked their ass in the Cold War

@gwowls The real question is; with how everyone acts online is there a class that isn't Nursery?

If LDX accounts had callings what would they be?
