In a book that you'll never read because it didn't come from your "prophets."
What has happened to me and many of my friends is a fulfillment of this prophecy.

The Book is the Nemenhah Record. It is a record of the Native Americans that spans about 1600 years of their history back to the time of Hagoth, the ship builder. Plenty of people on the forum discount it outright. If you believe the PSRs cannot be led astray... you will not like this book.

I do not believe you ... pls show me where these alleged words of Samuel the Lamanite are found.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑June 7th, 2022, 12:00 pm These words from Samuel the Lamanite couldn't be more prophetic:
"58) Behold, I say unto you who shall receive these things and ponder them, you shall live in a time when men do seek to elevate the Prophets unto that status wherein they may speak no error nor act in any mean thing. This is a great pitfall to the righteous.
59) For, such men shall make regulations that begin to deny the right of every Covenant Child of the Peacemaker to seek the confirmation of the Holy Ghost.
60) Yea, in your day, if a man hears the words of some Prophet and, seeking the confirmation of the Holy Ghost, fails to receive it, but receives instead a witness that the utterance is false or misguided, behold, he shall be brought up before the counsels and he shall be persecuted for having received such a witness. And they shall scourge him bitterly with their words and shall even cast him out from among them.
61) Look you to your own day! For speedy destruction of all that you hold dear shall surely come to pass. For, of such pride generally were the Nephites in the land southward, and they did persecute and even put to death they who believed the signs of the coming of the Peacemaker."

Of course, they laid it all back on you. How dare you question the Pharisees? Did you learn your lesson?JSmith wrote: ↑June 7th, 2022, 12:05 pm I very clearly laid out my concerns about many of the decisions made by church leadership and my feeling that I could not agree or actively promote some of their teachings to my Bishop.
Not only have I been told I will not get a temple recommend until I can “sustain the leadership”, I was instructed to repent and seek a “change of heart”

I'm not sure what ever happened to the greatest among us being the servants. The Savior got down on the same level with those he led and served them. In fact I seem to remember Him washing their feet. I don't remember him living a luxurious lifestyle in a big, fancy house with a private jet and a limousine driver. I don't recall the twelve having a fancy headquarters. It's getting harder and harder to even attempt to make this church fit the description of the Savior's church.tribrac wrote: ↑June 7th, 2022, 12:39 pm The spirit that has taken over our church is the same spirit that consumes American politics and globalists like the WEF....it is a belief that a certain few people are better equipped and more able to decide what is best for everyone.
Maybe it has always been this way, but it seems lately those certain few, those who think they know best for everyone, get angry and manipulative if people question them.
Ironically, they claim a moral superiority by virtue of their supposed concern for others. But they let their belief in having moral superiority fool themselves into doing immoral things to achieve their moral ends.
Such a dangerous slope to start down. For if you are morally justified in lying a little to save the kids, or the environment or bullying people to save an institution....then can a "nobel" leader also justified forcibly injecting people? Or taking away their cars? Or locking them in special camps....for their own good? Or letting them starve to teach them humility?

This is a problem I often find here. Lots of accusations fly up against the leadership, some of which might very well be true. But if you want leadership to fix the problem, hard evidence must be obtained that support the idea that you want to fix. Otherwise, it will simply be ignored.
Because it isn't a vote. You can question leadership but it will only be accepted at the lower levels.

This is the simplified version, but Plato's idea was that society should be ruled by philosopher kings, i.e. those who have been raised to be suitable rulers. Which is precisely what the WEF's Young Global Leaders programme pretends to do, and rhey in turn answer to a mixture of futurologists, philosophers, economists and assorted scientists
Of all the people on the earth today, you’d think that the LDS would be most enthusiastic, or at least curious, about new scriptures.

I agree it isn't a vote. Originally it was intended to be that, but it is not that anymore.

You can certainly do either. From past experience, I know people love to attack the messenger (Phillip Landis), and not the message (the doctrines or teachings presented in the record).Subcomandante wrote: ↑June 7th, 2022, 3:24 pm I appreciate the share.

I think some of them genuinely do think they're doing what's best for the world and the human race, although they are also misanthropes who hate the common people, and think that they are of low intelligence. The two ideas are not contradictory, and many people aren't very bright at all, as we all know. Their harsher projects can be justified as a sort of "no pain, no gain" exercise - Communist leaders used to do this all the time, "the end justifies the means". Intelligence is not wisdom, although often confused with it, and the elites hire intelligent people to plot what is ahead.Cruiserdude wrote: ↑June 7th, 2022, 3:11 pmWow, now that's interesting.

They(WEF, etc) really do believe they are doing the world a solid favor by seeking this global control and power.

Simple. Documentation alleging everything which many of you guys accuse the prophets of doing. Statistics that can back up what you are saying. Documentation that can be properly sourced to the point where even the opposition will have no choice but to back you up. Hearsay will not work. Innuendos will not work.
Like what?
But that would require education, study, and discipline for several years, which, by the looks of it, is beyond the simple capacities of many people on this board.
