For those looking to learn about our faith and engage with the LDS community, who are the top Latter-day Saints to follow on X?

@antiantimormon @grok analyze the video in the OP and the 2 links I shared and then give an analysis of the claims in the video if these languages are evidence for a historical Book of Mormon
English

The Book of Mormon is true!
One piece of evidence:
The Uto-Aztecan language family has more than 1600 parallels to ancient semitic languages.

How much of this do you do in the temple today?
animal, grain, wine, and incense sacrifices (korbanot) offered daily (the tamid or continual offering morning and evening), on Sabbaths, new moons, festivals, and for personal reasons like sin atonement, thanksgiving, or vows.
slaughtering of animals in the courtyard, sprinkling or pouring blood on the altar, burning portions on the altar (the smoke rising as an offering to God), and sometimes sharing the sacrifices meat with offerers or priests.

@stackerco Okay, Stacker. Your claim that the OT temple has nothing to do with today's temple is pretty laughable.
"Ha ha! the Church is ALWAYS talking about the temple. How STRANGE." If you don't care if the church talks about temples, why bring it up?

@StarTether @TeachWMrBrown @DeseretFanatic She’s saying that because she thought he believed. There is a reason he didn’t talk to her.
English
@stackerco @TeachWMrBrown @DeseretFanatic Her words are "He's been lying to everyone for over a year." That's a description of behavior, not a qualitative assessment of his worth. That distinction is important. Otherwise he feels blamed and made to be an inferior human. 1/

I hate when people hurt their moms. It breaks my heart actually

Guys I really need prayers 🥺. Yesterday, my son turned 18. I went to wish him Happy Birthday only to find his things gone & a 5 pg letter telling me he hates me & he's leaving the church. This came out of nowhere. He's been lying to everyone for over a year. I'm shattered. #LDSX

Amazing the conclusions you jump to when you just ignore the context.

@m3lonh3ad @Herberts_Burner @boundtotheword @GCC317 @LutheranAnswers That's a few verses from John 18, but John probably didn't write John. It's likely based on his writings or teachings but probably from a school of John disciples. John didn't speak Greek and the 2nd to last verse in John shows that somebody else has edited his words.

I think there are a lot of people missing the point as to why an attack on Joseph Smith and Mormons on the Daily Wire website is such a big deal. People are saying "well why don't you rebut it?" Or "hey man, can't you handle the truth" or "he's just saying his opinion."
None of that is the point.
The point is that the Daily Wire is not a theological apologetics website or company. Or at least it wasn't.
Most people went to the Daily Wire for news and commentary, and that's what they invested in for over a decade. And an outright attack on Joseph Smith and Mormons at a place where we expect to find news and commentary is, indeed, quite jarring and troubling.
It means that a pillar of the conservative community now thinks its just fine to attack people based on their faith.
"But it's not an attack on Mormons! Only Mormonism! We need to tell the truth whether you like it or not!"
When you attack somebody's faith, you are attacking them personally. And giving yourself a pass by saying you're not attacking Mormons, and then attack the prophet and founder doesn't give you a pass.
"But we love Mormons and want them to know the truth!"
No you don't.
No the fuck you don't.
This is an excuse to otherise Mormons as weird cult members who deserve to be talked down to and cast out. That's all these talking points have ever been.
It's bigoted. It's nasty. It's intentional.
You people know what you're doing, and so do we. Stop playing stupid. If the Daily Wire wants to play stupid games, hey guess what, win stupid prizes.
Every Latter Day Saint should cancel their Daily Wire account subscription if they haven't already. Let them know that if you play stupid games, as @benshapiro says, you win stupid prizes.

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.

@stackerco I have no idea at all. Seeing as how I’m not antisemitic, what difference would that make?
English
@stackerco I really don’t know. I’m not a subscriber. They definitely have a religious program, the one we’re talking about but I think The Network is more politically driven than it is spiritually.
English
@LatterDayJester First, my observation was funny because of timing, that it was once again about the temple.
And no, the OT temple has nothing to do with today’s temples.
And third, I don’t give a shit if the church talks about temples.
English
@stackerco We do. We also make it a point to apply the scriptures to our day. Hence we talk about temples.
Why would anyone have a problem with this?
English
@stackerco I mean, what else are you supposed to talk about when those chapters are literally about the tabernacle?

@FatherChrisVor1 @stackerco This is fun
Tell me more, but try to lower the female histrionics

@stackerco Yeah, the idea of a Christian program doing apologetics is just beyond reason.

@DChadwickAuthor I’m not a fan of any publication don’t this to any religion.

@StarTether @TeachWMrBrown @DeseretFanatic This parent’s first words are “He is a liar.”
Parents need to look in the mirror and ask what they did to contribute to this or else they’ll never be able to bring him back
English
@stackerco @TeachWMrBrown @DeseretFanatic The stories he tells himself are 100% his choice. His parents may have created an environment where he found it easier to justify certain kinds of stories, but that choice is still his. 1/

@MCrobison @DeseretFanatic look dumb ass. He already said it sucks for the mom but you keep pushing that.
English
@MCrobison @DeseretFanatic Heartless I am?
You’re all f’ing blaming the kid without knowing anything that’s going on.
You think an 18 year old kid is thriving now?
Sucks for the mom and sucks for the kid. And all you guys do is say how terrible the kid is.
You’re the heartless asshole.
English
@stackerco @DeseretFanatic Regardless of her son going apostate. He’s gone. Heartless you are. You leaving the church has left you without any heart. So sad.
