"You get an excommunication! And you get an excommunication! And you get an excommunication! And..."

That was profoundly perceptive. Thank you.

Sadly you're right.

Lmao, wait for someone to blow it up and then ask for reconstruction money. Nice.

I'm not convinced MAGA even wants it at this rate. 2026 was the year he blew it. Unless he does some amazing things, not gonna happen.

The amount of hatred towards him is pretty unbelievable. All the guy did was make great products, revolutionize the space industry, and return free speech to a social media platform. For that, they want him dead. Yes, evil is the word.

The Dems biggest strength right now is simply that they are the anti-Trump party, not that they are socialists. I agree that the Democrats will continue to go hard left and there will be more unabashed socialism. There will end up being a very ideological battle. But unless society rapidly changes in a way in which people are really suffering and feel like they need hand outs (which isn't so far fetched), I think we will remain more or less center-right as a nation, at least economically speaking. In other words, far left economic policies really aren't appealing to most Americans, and a crisis will either have to happen organically or be generated to make people reach for it. But the Dems sure are good at generating crises.

Beautiful, profound truths restored. Thanks!

Well, it's a fact that there are enemies of the Church out there who spread disinformation, and it's a problem. So I can't fault him for his intent here. But I can't say I don't think the Church at times doesn't also mislead intentionally to suit their purposes. I believe that misleading is often well-intentioned, but still not right. They should do better. As always, just be wise and follow the Spirit.

"After the apostles died" is a vague teaching and we don't really get into what happened immediately after unless you dig and read The Great Apostasy or something. But we should. My personal opinion is that it was a gradual thing that took a few hundred years. The priesthood wasn't just "taken away" with a snap of the fingers. You had bishops and elders and such who still had authority. The Church just lacked the leadership at the top to steer the whole body. I've heard some accounts that suggest priesthood authority in one form or another still persisting up until the 500's. I'll also say that having priesthood authority doesn't necessarily require you to have a perfect understanding of all truths, or to only believe things that are true. Plenty of priesthood holders today believe plenty of things that aren't true. So it is possible for truths to have been gradually chipped away at but for there still to have been righteous people who had authority on some level, until that line stopped perpetuating itself.

Sounds like red staters need to make a road trip.

"Elon Musk didn’t create Tesla. He bought it." And made it better. "He didn’t create X. He bought Twitter and ruined it." Tf? I remember when Twitter was shadowbanning everyone that wasn't a leftist parrot. Elon got rid of that and it's doing better than ever. "He didn’t invent the rockets, propulsion systems or telemetry of SpaceX. He used NASA tech and poached their engineers." No shit he didn't invent rockets propulsion systems, or basic math. But he did stuff nobody ever did, and certainly not NASA. Fkn legend. "He’s a venture capitalist and a college dropout. That’s it." LMFAO - yeah - and a fkn TRILLIONAIRE. Dude, get some perspective.

Africa?

I think instead of a debate, a conversation would be better. The problem with a lot of social accounts is they feel they have to debate everything. They don't. People can just talk. Be objective. Still be faithful if something comes across that you don't have an answer to or can't defend. The Church isn't perfect and never will be. We can all accept that premise and we can all accept that we should do better, too.

Okay. But when has the hurdle of time ever stopped Elon?

I can respect that but I just hate the idea of worms eating my temple. Go eat someone else, worms.

I will never tell my kids to abandon their dreams for a “safe” life. A day job might pay the bills, but it doesn’t have to kill the bigger vision. Strategy matters. Quitting on yourself doesn’t. “Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.” — Terry Goodkind Are you raising your kids (or living yourself) with this mindset, or did you get the “be realistic” talk growing up?

Connecting with the land is connecting with yourself. As without, so within. Just came to so say "amen."

If things have been hitting the fan in your orbit over the last few days, it is a full moon in Taurus in opposition to the sun in Scorpio. Full moons generally feel like there's an energy of shedding light on things that aren't working, and that can bring problems to the surface. Oppositions, well, those are conflict generators as well. And let's not forget Mercury just starting to go retrograde, signaling issues with communication and technology mishaps as well. Basically a recipe for stress. Take it all with a grain of salt and live your life, but I've learned through experience to keep an eye out for these things. So heads up.
