I suspect there are some forum members who believe that we should just focus on building God's Kingdom and leave the exposing and repelling of the latter-day gadiantons to God. There are plenty of LDSs who do believe that. Some have told me so.

We go through cycles on this forum. The good stuff will come around again. Actually folks have been a little more mellow one towards another lately. Kind of nice for a change. Even CNN, woops, CHH, no I mean wkwo is keeping it civil.......sort of.

As President Benson said, that is like telling someone they don't need to get Baptized, they just need to live the Gospel.
there is no Prophetic nor scriptural evidence to back up their position. Instead of being on the defense, make them defend their position.
The Lord has always had us be His tools to accomplish His ends.

I have been constantly warned not to write, publish or say anything that would jeopardize my current ability to bring home an income under the current regime (of which I have been "vocal").
This forum is my remaining outlet to which I can "safely" vent my frustration and feeling without feeling that I am going to get compromised and end up in a gulag.
But I'm sure even here, we have to moderate our thoughts (maybe even turn to symbolism) even as we are supposedly in a country with freedom of speech.
Those who are here from other countries see the signs of the ruination of their native lands and the "Amerikans" just do not "get it".

As Moroni says, we have to do all we can to stop and repel the modern day gadiantons.
We have to build God's Kingdom
We have to be a Zion people
We have to build Zion
etc, etc, etc.
Sitting around, "observing" and telling everybody that you told them so is being slothful. We have a ton of work to do
Worked out well for Ether!

Ultimately they will destroy themselves!!! Nowhere in scriptures (specifically Revelations) have I seen the Saints mentioned as the cause of destruction of the wicked!

Yeah. He lost his family and friends and his whole civilization, but then again, he was directed by the Lord to record what was going on for future generations to learn from.

Since I have awakened I have been on a roller coaster of emotions and eventually I realized the wicked will destroy themselves. Another thread listed several of the scriptures that tell us how they will fail. Now that I'm awake and I understand so much more about the scriptures and the last days.
I have had so many insights in the scriptures that it's crazy to me... the scriptures have never been so real. I love exploring all of the resources we have on the scriptures, I even started a
thread on that!
Yet with all of this insight, nobody's talking about it!!! I mean holy crap batman we live during the fullness of times! We live during the fulfillment of these prophecies... there are thousands of resources and study helps. I want to lift the condemnation if it's over me.... I've tried to get others to do it.
BOM Challenge, as you can see... nobody wanted to take me up on it!
Frustration! Everyone says they are awake, but they don't want to discuss the sticks with me! What's going on?

Be of good cheer, Clark. We're all in the
sticks together, watching them come
alive before our very eyes as prophecy
after prophecy is fulfilled.
Such exciting times we live in!

Go build your ark and start gathering animals two by two, because if you can't see the difference, you might as well do what every other Prophet in every other time has done, even if it doesn't apply to you, and if you have received more current and direct council.
