@MattTGM14 And Clive is finally a protagonist that looked like he could take a punch...

Definitely FF16. Better story that was told in a much better way, much more engaging combat, better spectacle, better characters, better focus and it was actually finished at launch Still love ff15, but ff16 clears it no contest

@j_divis Do you forget the whole "Meet the Mormons," and "I'm a Mormon" campaigns of like a decade ago?

@j_divis You might want to rethink this Tweet. Nelson is gone, and Hoax is now suing people using the word Nelson said was "a major victory for Satan." Mormon is making a comeback, and this condescending ridiculousness can finally end.

Good thing they don’t exist. We have missionaries from the Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints.

@ThoughtfulSaint And athiests know more than anyone. Great Job TT!

We literally know the Bible better than Catholics by a WIDE margin according to pew research.

@antiantimormon And again, not from a non-LDS Egyptologist, right? Any non-LDS Egyptologist agree with anything stated in the video you shared? An independent 3rd party, no dog in the fight? Like Dr. John Turner (with his JS Biography)?

I'm sure you won't actually watch it, and will automatically discredit because you choose not to believe while choosing to believe the assumptions of Egyptologists speculating about an evolving culture that spanned over 3,000 years. But I'll share it with anyone who looks at this comment and actually has ears to hear and eyes to see. youtu.be/fXtYmiIJQXQ?si…

If Joseph Smith was a fraud trying to gain followers, why so much focus on the temple? And how did he know so much about ancient temple worship that was not understood in his day? Why Temple Focus? Joseph lived in Protestant America. In the upstate New York and New England religious world that shaped his early life, the population was overwhelmingly Protestant. Catholics were a tiny minority (less than 1%), and Jewish communities were almost nonexistent in that region. The dominant religious culture was Bible-centered Protestantism. Faith in Jesus, Bible, preaching worship services. But liturgy, ritual, priesthood ordinances, sacred clothing, and temple worship were generally viewed as things that had been fulfilled, replaced, or done away in Christ. In other words, Joseph lived in a culture of religion without temple liturgy. So if he was simply trying to attract followers, why introduce strange, foreign-sounding temple practices? Wouldn’t that make his movement harder to sell? And yet, from the beginning, the restored Church was pointed toward temples. When there were barely 1,000 members in Kirtland, the Saints began building a temple after being rebuked by the Lord multiple times for delay. When the Saints gathered in Missouri, they were immediately commanded to build a temple there as the center piece of Zion. This was a difficult, inconvenient expensive, demanding strategy if it was something Joseph was just making up. How Did Joseph Know So Much About The Temple? The Bible gives only limited detail about ancient temple worship. Much of the tabernacle system belonged to a lower law after Israel rejected the higher law. And by the Second Temple period, many scholars argue that Israelite religion had already changed dramatically from its older temple roots. Methodist scholar Margaret Barker has argued that Jesus came as a restorer of lost temple religion. Her research points to ancient temple themes involving the Holy of Holies, the everlasting covenant, the Atonement, Melchizedek, anointing oil, divine sonship, and the transformation of human beings into divine beings. Her work also identifies early Christian temple imagery involving sacred clothing, washings and anointings, new names, creation, the Garden of Eden, temptation, and special garments. Some of Jesus’s most significant moments happened around the temple. He taught there. He cleansed it. He called it His Father’s house. Clearly, the temple mattered to Him, though not in the corrupted way some religious rulers were using it in His day. Additional research by modern scholars also shows that early Christians retained elements of temple worship that closely align with the Latter-day Saint temple today. So how and why did an uneducated farm boy focus so much on the temple? Because he was not inventing something new to gain followers. He was doing what he was commanded to do. He was restoring ancient truths, covenants, ordinances, priesthood authority, and temple worship that allow mankind to be exalted through Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith was a prophet.

@antiantimormon youtu.be/6TgWvGUd7ns?si… youtu.be/0EdyDZ8nSAM?si… youtu.be/k91MH90lomc?si… Here are better videos that actually talk about what the church admits on its own website (tacitly) in the Gospel Topics Essays.

@antiantimormon That is not his hand in a cupping position in front of him it is his pen1$. The church removed it, and later added it back in. Those are not the signs taught in the Mormon Temple.

@antiantimormon Please give me the source where the signs, tokens, and penalties are found in Egyptian temples. Please from a scholarly source, and a non-LDS Egyptologist because we know Kerry Muhlestein starts with th3 conclusion first, then fits evidence to fit that conclusion...

And those are a tiny fraction of the temple. Oh yeah, and the signs can all be found in Egyptian temples. And the meanings and purpose of the temple are completely different. But sure, keep grasping on your faith that Freemasonry explains the complex and divinely powerful temple.

@BudHertig @antiantimormon Except Masonry only goes back to 1300 CE. So, no, it doesn't go back to Temple of Solomon. That is the origin story in their Temple ceremony, the story of Hiram Abiff.

@antiantimormon @Sloanius That is exactly it.

@antiantimormon The most important parts were the penalties. No one talking about polygamy outside of the Temple, or the vow to have their throat slit ear to ear, heart removed, and disembowelment. All to protect the secret.. uh... sacred polygamy.

@antiantimormon The signs, tokens, penalties, and even the 5 points of fellowship (penalties and 5 points has since been removed) are all taken from Masonic Temple ritual. Again, he changed the story, but way to much exactly the same to not be taken from Masonic rights.

@MattTestifies I heard it before I left. And like you, I dismissed it as "anti-mormon lies" as that is how I was taught to deal with the issues. Then I found the Gospel Topics Essays, where they tacitly admit to all the "anti-mormon lies" and i had to confront them, and not just dismiss them.

The thing about anti-Mormons is… boy, are they stupid. Not only stupid, their own level of stupid. You really think we haven’t heard whatever silly nonsense you, a little internet pea brain, comes at us with? 🥱

Marjorie Taylor Greene confirms what we all knew, that Trump is the sole reason we don't have the Epstein files. And that @SpeakerJohnson has been protecting Trump the entire time.

Wow! Every single person should listen to @mtgreenee here. She outlines exactly what went down with Trump desperately trying to prevent the Epstein files from getting released.

@AaronAsher11 But, can read it and conclude it is 1800's Bible fan-fiction...

No honest soul can read The Book of Mormon and conclude, with any integrity, that it’s “demonic”

@AaronAsher11 @_My2_Cents_ @grok @stackerco @DChadwickAuthor @dailywireplus @benshapiro I used to dismiss these too as "anti-mormon lies and tropes" until I found the Gospel Topics Essays and they tacitly admit to them as being correct. So I had to confront them, and not dismiss them, like you seem to be doing...

@_My2_Cents_ @grok @stackerco @DChadwickAuthor @dailywireplus @benshapiro These 7 reasons are old news and completely trivial to me. Circulating now for decades, it’s just senseless reporting. If you study The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, all of these things become irrelevant.

What is going on at the @dailywireplus ? I supported this organization for literally years, and now they are pushing me away. Why are they doing this? @benshapiro

You are being lied to. Today I present to you the only inflation index that matters. The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla inflation index. 2001 Chicken quesadilla: $1.89 2026 Chicken quesadilla: $6.19 This is a total inflation of ~327% or an annualized amount of just over 6%/уг. Don't let the lizard people in the government trick you into thinking inflation is 2-3% per year...plan accordingly.

@Bunkerdome @yoursunnyescape @selfmaxxer Voting in place of someone else (like using their ballot to vote, or filling out their ballot for them) is a crime. But you're probably a troll.

@Sloanius @yoursunnyescape @selfmaxxer B but it’s not a crime. The crime would be letting your wife and kids get manipulated by corporations and communists.

If the blue threshhold was 20%, I'd choose red. If it was 10%, I'd choose red. If it was 1%, I'd choose red. If it took 1000 blue votes, I'd choose red. You should never press the suicide button. You are responsible for your own life, why make anyone risk theirs for you.

@yoursunnyescape @Bunkerdome @selfmaxxer x.com/i/status/20496… Sounds like he is voting in place of them, or for them. But he can clarify. I think a) he is trolling, or b) is dumb and confessing to a crime on Twitter...

@Sloanius @Bunkerdome @selfmaxxer He votes in favour of his wife, not on behalf of his wife. I don't think voting on behalf of your wife has been a thing since the 1960s.
