Re: Prophecy and Modern times

No modern-day prophet, pastor, or intelligent human is going to prophecy or go against the NWO and the Luciferians who now control the United States and other parts of the world.Why? For starters they would be deemed to be domestic terrorists and risk ruining their churches and associated enterprise...

Re: What's up with the "countenance" concept?

I am not making any judgments about people based on their appearance. I am well aware that my own appearance is not particularly attractive. I understand that some people may have left the Church and found happiness, either permanently or temporarily, and that their outward expressions may reflect t...

Re: What's up with the "countenance" concept?

How much of judging "countenance" is just a matter of cherry picking photos to fit a narrative? In the case of George P. Lee provided, you have a obviously staged portrait shot. Staging isn't a bad thing here, just a photo shoot where they set it up to get a good photo. Then you have a candid photo...

Church Member Records

Greetings. My kid was physically assaulted in the chapel by 2 older boys many years ago and there was a dispute between me, the SP, the Bishop and the Counselor for not siding with the victim,(They were all friends and neighbors with the bullies and their parents), My son did not to cause the assaul...

Re: Prophecy and Modern times

During the disproportionate war that's raging between Israel and Palestine, any prophets going there could risk being killed... I highly doubt our leaders will mess with this conflict, unlike the Ukraine, Palestine has no members or temples. Russia has members and no one is talking about them. I thi...

What's up with the "countenance" concept?

Do you guys remember any GAs that got excommunicated? What they looked like while active versus after their excommunication? I was thinking about George P. Lee for example: https://thirdhour.org/forums/uploads/monthly_2017_08/dlme.png.632770957928c4d58a84c75fb40fb364.png Does the countenance really ...

Re: After 10+ years inactive, I decided to return for good

Thanks for all the great comments! Now I find myself trying to fix the things I feel got damaged or broken inside, after years struggling with my own feelings, my faith or lack thereof, my sins and doubts. Honestly, I dread the idea of being on my death bed, having denied God because I got doubtful ...

After 10+ years inactive, I decided to return for good

I was LDS, served a mission, got married, had kids, got divorced, my family fell away, then I fell away. For the last 10 years, I was LDS just by virtue of having been baptized, ordained, etc. but I practically stopped going to church for over a decade. Didn't go smoking, drinking, or being promiscu...

Sacrament Meetings & My Ramblings

Some things should evolve a bit. I like to see the young men blessing and passing the sacrament, There is a level of innocence and faith to that. I like when parents take screaming children to the hallway so members can enjoy peace and quiet while partaking the Sacrament. It shows parents respect ot...

Re: Changes I have seen. Does anyone agree?

We used to believe the prophet was meeting face-to-face with Jesus in the Holy of Holies on a regular basis. Now we believe he feels inspiration while sitting in a meeting or lying in bed at night. We believed that actually knowing Jesus as a person was requisite to becoming an Apostle. Now we have...

Re: Changes I have seen. Does anyone agree?

Hell of a lot of good people in the world, religious or otherwise- but by far- by FAR, I've been lied to and cheated on business deals more by Mormons than any other sect. They are not ethical and they feel entitled because they pay tithing. Rubbish. Lost over $40,000 on a deal with a Mormon and th...

Changes I have seen. Does anyone agree?

If you have been a member of the Church for over 20-30 years you can see the changes. The Church is now more open, more diversified, and more similar to other Christian-type churches. The talks are less judgmental and more inclusive and in general, the members went from white and delightsome to a mi...

Is there ANY scripture that shows that Jesus ever smiled? I am happy that a few LDS depictions of the Savior show Him with a mild smile. Happiness is usually humanly translated through smiles.

Re: Is The ANY record of Prophecy About Corona?

:D No, there was no warning. If prophets, seers, and revelators knew this was going to happen and the best warning they could muster was a vague reference to self-reliance or home-centered church, then they are as culpable for the deaths of global citizens as Trump is for the climbing death toll in ...

Warm greetings to all! Does anyone know of any LDS scripture, LDS church talk, latter-day prophecy that warned us against this pandemic in 2020?

Re: Mormonism's Money is in the hotseat

The church sits on over $100 Billion non taxable dollars?

That's worth just ONE Jeff Bezos.

They invested tithing money to make money?


Okay.
