First class in years here. I might be the only one. The mass murderess.

I think you'll be surprised. I'll bet no one says anything to you. Most of the Angst is in people's minds (what will they say?) We've found at church, at the temple, at the store, or wherever, if you confidently don't wear a mask and act as if they didn't exist, no one says anything to you.

If you do, be prepared to answer why you’re doing it. Not with opinions, but facts. Not with rhetoric, but with a logical argument. Not with anger, but with the love of God in your heart.

I would strongly recommend you pray about this decision and see what intelligence the Spirit communicates to you.

I've been the only one without in RS before. No one dared say anything, the cowards. ;) Only a little 5 year old has asked, and I just said, I'm not sick!

I’d stand with you and go without a mask as well

There are only two types of people that will disagree with you. Those dedicated disciples of satan that hate God and Jesus and will do everything in their power to help the UN, WEF, and satan himself to over throw the plan of salvation of the Almighty God. The other ones that will disagree are people whose minds are so incredibly weak that they can not even understand how a mosquito can get through a chain link fence.

In both cases, it is an extreme hatred for mankind that fuels the fire.

The truth is not hiding. It is suppressed. Anyone with a desire for truth can find it. Those that did not find, did not seek.

My two adult kids go to the institute here without masks. Maybe 4 out of 30 wear them.

Are you a teacher? Maybe that would russel some Nelsons. Otherwise I don't think it's too big a deal, at least in my area where I have gone without one and no one cared.

There are some great images (like the one where it shows the sizes of mask pores vs. virus particles) or even just the bullet point list on the first couple pages.

I don’t expect to win any popularity contests. All of the respectable people are careful to wear masks when standing. Some of the most conscientious and benevolent never take their masks off.

Then there’s a group of us, the Fallen. It’s okay, truth is too important. And someday the others will understand.

Too late for them? I pray not. I don’t see very many people at a destination, so much as on a rather convoluted journey. So where someone is today could be very far from where they will be in a year or two. Or ten. Or the next life.

I agree.

Eventually, people will have to think and act for themselves; which should sound fairly obvious... but over the last 2 years we've seen that it's not the case with many people, SPECIFICALLY in the religious realm.

What are the consequences of having a curse pronounced upon you for trusting in the arm of flesh? Or for not awakening to the awful situation like we are commanded to do in Ether?

In JST Mark 9, Christ essentially tells us that if those "appointed over us" are to transgress, and we continue to follow them, we will be cast into Hell fire. How many will be unwilling to pluck them out?

Questions to ponder on. I too pray that someday they will understand.
