Black lies, you mean.

This does need attention. I'm glad it got posted.

I would show a pattern using the scriptures. In the scriptures if we let evil grow among us it can overthrow the things that are important to us. In the Book of Mormon people allowed the Gadianton robbers to circulate and overcome all that was good piece by piece in their society. Both that example and this use very clever illusions that can sometimes look correct until you compare what's going on with what's in the scriptures, because of political correctness and other reasons.

We can pray to be acceptable with the Lord with how we live and need to do so. If something's not right to get there we can fix it and should follow promptings to fix it right away. In the scriptures Moroni and others started their battle by internal worthiness checks first, then community ward, and area worthiness and unity checks, and cleaning the inner vessel(s) first before moving onto whatever they thought had to be done. This is what needs to happen and then we can ask the Lord to take care of this problem.

People don't need to be afraid of what the world thinks, but be afraid instead of being separated from God through not praying, not reading scriptures, and not living worthy.

Zarahemnah was so speedy in his march with his men that he attacked the center of their lands. He did something unexpected and also used cunning strategies that the Nephites weren't used to. The Nephites hadn't had guards sufficient in the land believing their capital and core inner areas to be unconquerable. (Compare with above). As a result he came in and there was no defense (because people weren't doing what they should AKA no armor of God or scripture study or prayers). People can see that everything in the Book of Mormon is a parable of last days events. This is one of them.

Of all places on earth, it does feel like Utah would be a scary place for me to be a member of the church, only in terms of statistics though.

I did forget to mention to that the whole black power raised fist is also the communism symbol, which also uses a raised arm and fist.

What percentage of BYU is social justice warrior you think?

[oklds]

Social Justice Warriors? Strictly speaking, more than 99%
Black Lives Matter? Less than 1%

[gardener4life]

Even just 1% of the whole student body that's a lot. 1% x at least what 20,000 and more?

This is why we read the scriptures, so we won't be deceived and brought in by Satan's tactics. These people probably originally thought they were trying to do good and were caught up in 'promoting change' without realizing they should be promoting stability of the old ways of those that followed the gospel in early days, not some modern scheme.
