@DurrantMark Amen & Amen 🙏🏼

I'm a 55 year old, highly educated, practicing attorney. I've read the Book of Mormon more times than I can count. I've spent thousands of hours studying the Old and New Testaments, as well as LDS Church doctrine and history. I've read the revelation, writings, and papers of Joseph Smith and many books written about him, by members and non members alike. I've read or heard virtually every piece of anti Mormon material imaginable. I've attended thousands of hours of church services, sunday school classes, seminary programs, college level religion courses, and devoted two years exclusively to study and preaching as an ordained minister. I've literally devoted much of my life to the pursuit of gospel knowledge. Most importantly, I've received divine confirmation from the Holy Ghost that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true. But yeah, with all due respect random anonymous Twitter guy, forgive me if I don't take your word for it that my religion is false.

Compared to the top humanitarian aid providers on the planet, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints led all faith-based donors and provided more in total expenditures than the EU and the United States. This table shows the Church ranking 7th in total expenditures provided among all entities of the world.

Mount Apo, also known as Apo Sandawa, is the tallest mountain in the Philippines, rising to an elevation of 2,954 meters above sea level. It is located just 45 kilometers southwest of Davao City and is a landmark on the island of Mindanao. Anciently, Apo Sandawa was considered sacred to many people. Some people would visit to feel close to God. Some would visit to honor their ancestors. Others would visit to try to gain strength to deal with challenges. Apo Sandawa still inspires many today. But, as special as the mountain is, it does not have the power to transform us to become heirs in God’s kingdom, offer ordinances of salvation and exaltation to our ancestors, or bind our families together for all eternity. Nor does it provide us greater access to God’s power to help us in our lives. By assignment, I had the privilege today of dedicating “the mountain of the Lord’s house” (Isaiah 2:2) in Davao, Philippines. Here, priesthood keys and priesthood authority will be available to administer sacred ordinances and covenants to worthy, prepared, and willing people. Only in dedicated temples can the promised blessings be realized because of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lives, that He lived a perfect life, wrought a perfect atoning sacrifice, and rose from the tomb the third day. He “ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men” (Moroni 7:27). He has become our Advocate with the Father. Jesus Christ advocates what our Heavenly Father has wanted all along, for us to return to our heavenly home, “crowned with honor, and glory, and immortality, and eternal life” (Doctrine and Covenants 75:5).

When we obey what we are taught in the temple with all our hearts, it makes possible our receiving the gift of peace.    During the Lindon Utah Temple dedication today, I shared that in the temples of God, we are taught the simple truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ: The Plan of Salvation, our relationship to the loving God who created us, and our divine potential to be with the Savior again, to live in glory and peace forever.     Each time you return to the temple you will, by the Spirit, learn more of Him and of His Father. The peace He promises us can come, even as the storms of life beat upon us.   Those feelings of peace can go with us in our busy lives, if we are faithful to the covenants we make here. Trials, challenges, and heartaches will surely come to all of us. None of us are immune from “thorns of the flesh.” Yet, as we attend the temple and remember our covenants, we will feel peace from the Lord.

What it’s like working at X

I feel to shout from the X rooftops that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet whom the Lord raised up and ordained, and to whom he gave keys and power to build up the kingdom of God on earth. I don't worship Joseph, but I love him and esteem him highly. My life has been blessed beyond measure, and I am so much closer to my Savior, because of the light and knowledge that was restored by God to the world through him. Joseph doesn't need me to defend him, but I will do so until my dying breath. Praise to the man!

@DurrantMark @benshapiro Seriously disgusting

Hey @benshapiro, this is disgusting. Looking forward to the article about 7 reasons the Jews are wrong about Christianity. I'll always love you, but don't know if I can still support the Daily Wire if you're gonna put out crap like this.

The War on Poverty didn’t conquer poverty, it entrenched it, fostering a permanent underclass through dependency and family breakdown. The Inflation Reduction Act did no such thing, it fueled more spending and inflationary pressure. The Patriot Act was anything but patriotic, erecting a vast, permanent surveillance state that eroded civil liberties in the name of security. Time and again, these grandly named “Acts” deliver the precise opposite of their promises. Government interventions routinely ignore second-order consequences, distorted incentives, unintended behaviors, and cascading failures, leaving us with more problems than we started with. Perhaps it’s time for Washington to step back from micromanaging the economy and people’s lives, before the unintended damage grows even worse.

“Watch your rhetoric and be calm. Be considerate. Be thoughtful as you consider the ideas, the ideologies, the positions of others. Come close and understand them. You may never fully agree, and that’s OK, but be a voice for peace and get involved at suitable points in your life in the leadership of schools, universities, cities, counties, states, nations.” - Elder Patrick Kearon (@PatrickKearon)

@henrysgao @zerohedge @grok explain this post.

MOFCOM just invoked the blocking statute for the first time, ordering all firms not to recognise, enforce, or comply with US sanctions imposed under EO 13902 & 13846 targeting 5 Chinese teapot refineries for their involvement in Iranian oil transactions. The decoupling is coming

RFK JR - Many don’t realize, the Chickenpox Vaccine Causes shingles Epidemics “When the CDC was thinking about mandating the chickenpox vaccine for your children, they did a study. The person they hired to do that study was a scientist named Gary Goldman, who did a long-term study in California. What he found is that if you give the chickenpox vaccine, mass vaccinate, it stops chickenpox, but causes shingle epidemics later on; which is 20x deadlier. Despite those studies, we mandated for American children in this country, but in Europe they don’t. If you go to the British National Health Service website right now, you can read that it will say, “We do not recommend chickenpox vaccines because it causes shingles epidemics later on… and that’s the problem. (Check the link here: nhs.uk/vaccinations/c…) You can’t say this product is going to prevent this particular disease, but you have to look at the long-term implications.”

“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is fully funding the work.”

@PeacemakingSt @BeardedLion2 Yep

Maybe they shouldn't have gone after Latter-day Saints... 🤔

BYU Honor Code:

Approximately eight months ago, a horrifying attack took place during a Sunday sacrament meeting in the Grand Blanc Ward in Michigan. The following Tuesday morning, Susan and I were in Michigan to learn from and minister to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and others involved in this tragic event. What we saw, what we felt, the friends we made, and the faith in Jesus Christ we witnessed were life-changing for us. For my remarks at BYU Women’s Conference, I invited members of the Grand Blanc Ward to share with me lessons they had learned from this terrifying experience. Please notice the use of the words “light,” “glory,” and “darkness” in their reflections. What lessons can we learn from the Michigan Latter-day Saints about “rising up” (as quoted in the slides with permission) after a devastating experience? An eternal perspective grounded in the Father’s plan of happiness matters. Acknowledging we absolutely can never “rise up” without the power and blessings of the Savior’s Atonement matters. Covenants received worthily and faithfully honored matter. Spiritual priorities grounded in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ matter. Consistency in learning, doing, and loving small and simple spiritual things matters—all the time and everywhere.

This was a great presentation!!
