@SolarScorpio666 @DeseretStone Yea, cause it’s totally the churches responsibility because they are solely a charitable organization. Oh wait…..

To put this in perspective:
At $1.45 billion / year, the Church spends just under $4 million / day on humanitarian aid.
The annual operating budget of the Community of Christ, including its humanitarian work, is ~$16 million.

@BookofMomma6 Those are pretty common calls for African continent missions.

@walker_sheppard His friends will be serving in Benin and the Ivory Coast.

My son’s bff just opened his mission call. A month ago this friend had a dream that him and his friend were called to Africa, and my son was getting a strange call that they had never heard of before.
Both the other boys are called to Africa, and my son got the strange call.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Hey, just so you know, Europeans can freeload and also be in their military at the same time.
English
Here’s a picture of me, a European, security freeloading in Afghanistan as part of a US Army special forces task force.
Look! They even gave me a special “freeloader” badge to wear above my medals.
12 close friends and colleagues killed when they were there freeloading too.

I agree that people with anti-humanity agendas have hijacked it. My point is that many people who don't realize that sustainability often means saving money are arguing against it. Most people with a problem with it likely didn't listen to the podcasts and aren't familiar with industry practices. Most of All, the church is looking to cut FM-related costs in buildings.

@walker_sheppard It’s just been co-opted by humanity haters.

@giantsfan126 @StrategicTrends Did she ask him that? Or what did she ask?
English
@walker_sheppard @StrategicTrends We have 4 active military bases in the Philippines, have military cooperation with Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Brunei, and are in the final stages of massive cooperation partnerships with Vietnam. For a gung ho anti China guy he sure doesn't know much about the region

@notababylonian @D12Dale @the_churchnews No it’s not. It was never his money to begin with. A fundamental miss understanding of tithing. The 10% always belonged to God. It would be stealing for him to keep it.

Jenica Sedgwick, the sustainability manager for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, talks about caring for the earth. Listen here. thechurchnews.com/podcast/2025/0…

@the_churchnews This is super annoying. WTF is my tithing paying for a communist type sustainability manager?
English
The big disconnect is gen z doesn't view China as the enemy. They're not the ones shooting up our schools, putting us in a lifetime of debt to go to college, taking away our bodily autonomy. The boogie man doesn't work on us we weren't spoon fed Cold War propaganda
English
@Crashby89 @_sky_sorensen_ It depends on whether you believe in God. Even then, if you don't, your morality is objectively set by Christian revelation that is thousands of years old. You never would've known that stealing is wrong without the commandments.
English
@walker_sheppard @_sky_sorensen_ As opposed to the made up and constantly changing standards set by the church?

This TikTok is an interesting example of how anti-LDS & active Saints talk past one another.
Where she sees gratitude for a Savior who helps us change, they see deception & oppression.
We shouldn’t tie our worth to our worthiness, but we still have to concede our unworthiness.

Yoda shows everything wrong with the Jedi Order. He stuck to outdated rules, forced Jedi to suppress emotions, and ignored changes around him. He was too loyal to the corrupt Republic and made the Jedi generals in a war, which went against their values. He missed the signs of the Sith and, instead of fixing the Order after it fell, just ran away. His strict ways pushed people like Anakin to feel alone and fall apart.
English
@walker_sheppard @Queener_Weener Today is? I totally stand by saying Mace is, but Yoda? I mean he was hesitant to train look but ultimately took him on. Please plain I’m curious.
English
Do you ever think about the fact that Yoda is the only Star Wars character that we know of that died peacefully of natural causes

Yoda found dead at 900

@jeremotographs Waaa waaa I committed crime feel bad for me

Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.
They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid

@walker_sheppard @jeremotographs You've lost your humanity dog

FYI, from someone who also grew up in southern California, you're cherry-picking images to
Make your argument seem better. You know the hills and lands around developed communities such as the Palisades are graded. LAFD and Cal Fire are responsible for creating fire breaks. It is 100% possible to effectively manage the immediate space between houses and shrubbery.
The CA SRA building code requires a 100-foot defensible space between houses and hills, which I guarantee LAFD was not enforcing on HOAs: Malibu and the Palisades border SRAs.

1) Now I will expose the lies of Speaker Johnson. He is repeated the lies of Trump here. Water wasn’t the problem here. Fuel load and wind is. But the biggest lie is circled there. In this thread, I will give you the facts. So let’s begin⬇️
