LDS Freedom Forum

My final posting. I have been completely and utterly banned from LDSfF, which has been a long time coming. I provoked and requested the action and am grateful that my ties here have been severed. I did want to make one final statement though. It is an interesting place in life that I find myself but having come through a death sentence and now looking like I am going to survive kind of changes your perspective somewhat. I came through the experience having grown in my love of the Savior and of his church and the saints. However, I find I am also a little more surly and less tolerant of stupidity. I find I am qualifying how I spend my time more thoroughly as you realize just how precious the moments are and I have spent far too many of them compelled in some way to combat the weak and dissident voices on LDSfF that were so strident in undermining the prophets and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The subtleties of deception on this forum range from the innocuous of simple wanderings in thought to the wresting of scripture and subversion of truth with social priority.

This time here has been profitable for me though. I have learned to recognize the leanings of those going astray - certain little buzz words or phrases, or skewed means of looking sideways at what should be very clear doctrines. Satan has very specific terminologies, little mantras designed to create that hypnotic stare of preconceived wisdom that over-powers the wisdom of the scriptures. I have learned to recognize false prophets, and the baying of wolves that threaten the sheep. I have had confirmed Joseph's words concerning those speaking evil of the Lords anointed while extolling their own superior understanding and realize these simply have no choice but stand revealed as they cannot avoid their evil speaking. It serves as a sign of their departure from truth and these should never be trusted for understanding at any level. I have learned of the risks of energy healers and a dozen other things. My ears perk at certain statements and many times now I have sought out those testing foreign waters and in several cases have helped pull them back from the waters edge. I can only be grateful for that as well as it has taught me how and when to address certain things I might detect and hear from my own children.

Still there are some remarkable folks on this forum who have energized to stand for the prophets and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Who know temple ordinances are required for salvation and who clearly recognize that the path to Christ's presence runs through his prophets and apostles and not around them. I have been lifted by their testimonies and their efforts. I bid them strength. This 189th conference of the Church of Jesus Christ is a fitting point of departure for me. I heard specific, targeted teaching about sustaining the prophets, the imperative nature of ordinances, clear references and teachings of the doctrine of Christ and several more things that have been the consistent messages on this forum that I and others of strong testimony have delivered to attempt to shore up those on deviating paths from truth. Nonetheless, we have been but echoes of the words of God's chosen prophets, and apostles and I pray you heed their message. It is a wonderful feeling to know that you sustain the prophets and that you hear their message. When we live in such a rare age of living prophets and guidance from the Lord, it is foolish, positively foolish to not heed their counsel, to not embrace their warnings, to not praise God in sustainment of his chosen. These are indeed exciting times and the portends of the prophets and scriptures bode well for those prepared to assail the efforts of the adversary with priesthood authority and correct gospel knowledge. I bid you all adieu.

Also, it was intended for liberty-minded truth-seekers (which also, unfortunately, puts a person outside of the mainstream LDS), but still there are many forum members who are not liberty-minded - and that's okay if they're willing to follow the rules.

Careful not to break The Rule.

If you knew brlenox, you know that’s not true. He catered to an audience that would benefit that supposed only doctrine he taught.

We’ve had our run ins in the distant past. I’m sure he would get a chuckle out of my post, all the while mentally throwing me into hell.

Meanwhile, there seems to be some pretty clever and crafty folks around here who don’t see any point in the keys held in the church, who openly and constantly criticize and condemn leaders, and all us poor, ignorant members.

There's a lot of people who take any comment that doesn't agree The Q12 and FP as being condemnation of said Q12 and FP and apostasy. Black and white thinking does a lot of harm
