LDS Freedom Forum

I am a very young 65. (I don't think I look my age at all.) I have six children and 11 grandchildren. I have always been interested in Last Days stuff. I think the book by Crowther was one of the first. Then I read None Dare Call it Conspiracy in the early 70's. I lived in California at the time. But I've lived in the SL area for the past 35 years. Anyway, over the years I've become more and more aware of conspiracy theories and my conclusion is that there's a lot of truth in them.

I have watched our freedoms dwindle through the years. My children don't seem to understand how much things have changed but I can see it. I used to read the prophecies of the last days and couldn't fathom how many of them could happen. Now it's becoming clearer and clearer.

My husband and I have always been interested in food storage. I'm grateful for that. We were Service missionaries at the Dry Pack cannery and we learned a lot from that. I was the Gospel Doctrine teacher until I took on some family responsibilities that were very heavy and had to give it up for a time. I tried to help my class see that the promises to America are conditional, and we need to be watchful. But some class members took exception and told me that Pres. Hinckley was an optimist and that we were still a great country.
I agree that many Americans are wonderful and righteous but I'm convinced our government is not.

A very good book is called Beneath the Tide and is written by Ken Bowers...an LDS author.

Hi!!

We are glad to have you. I feel the same as you. It is good to have like minded people that you can discuss these things with.
It can get pretty heavy. Another good Ken Bowers book is "Hiding In Plain Sight."

If anyone is interested in fiction about the Last Days, a good series is "The Great and the Terrible." It goes from the pre-existance to the last days.

Define virtue in the light of the Holy Ghost and you will understand why many are good and why some are not. I define virtue as one thought, Seek/Look - Love God with all your ...

The point is our government has traveled far into Gross Darkness, virtue is almost impossible to find now days.

Welcome, we here can be just a bunch of blabber or you can learn so much here. I have been visiting this forum for years now. It takes a good guide, like the Holy Ghost, and you will get so very much from this forum.

God Bless,
Darren

Welcome to the forum. Very good to have you here and I do look forward to your input and wisdom. I value the dynamics of the people in this forum and like Darren said, there is much to be learned here, if we can discern and use the Holy Ghost.

thanks for the welcome! I look forward to all the new ideas on the site. I just finished shoveling the walks (again. ) Guess I better get out the old snow blower and hope it will work this year.

yes welcome

Welcome, glad to have you!

Yeah, another Californian, I too moved to Utah from Ca...in '68 to set up Deseret Supply co/Beehive Foods for preparations. Found that more interest came from the south KKK, birch society etc. though.....hmmm anyhow, sounds like a parallel..interesting board, enjoy..stan

I certainly wouldnt see JBS and KKK as being comparable? Is that what you were suggesting?
