Utah County LDSFF Lunch Meet-up - Thursday, November 19 @ Noon in American Fork, UT

[creator]

Date: November 19, 2020
Time: 12:00 Noon
Location: Tangie's Cafe, 2 E Main St, American Fork, UT 84003 (map link)

There's no specific agenda other than meeting together with like-minded people in an open forum discussion. You're welcome to consider a thought, scripture, or something you feel inspired to share with the group. We usually have plenty to talk about, ranging from religion to politics and more.

One thing I would like to discuss is committees of safety.


So that we know how big of a table we'll need, please RSVP via this thread or PM/Email me. Thanks.

[Cruiserdude]

I should be able to make this. If something changes I will report back here

[Original_Intent]

Committees of safety is a very timely subject to discuss in my opinion.

I intend to be there, and also will post here if that changes

Sounds good. Thanks for initiating this.
Hopefully people look here - or maybe I’ll bump the other thread.

What do you mean by “committees of safety”? Businesses that have them or creating your own? Now that I write it out, it sounds funny, but I really am wanting to know so I can come prepared.

Cool, looks like there'll be some good minds there to rub off on me

Ldsff Memo:
Nightlight is called as self-defense instructor. I sustain by my right & left hands. Any opposed?

Hahaha, how do we make sure he goes??? I need self-defense training for the zombie apocalypse(or covid1984 apocalypse ).....
@nightlight I guess you have to come to the lunch.... We are all needed! (I'm being funny but there is more truth than humor in that statement )

[Cruiserdude]

^^^^

Why do they say that about the self defense deal? What's your background?

Lol I don't know, probably because I talk about guns and violence more than a normal person should

Committees of Safety and Committees of Correspondence were much more common in the 1700's and 1800's.

• Committees of Safety: An American Tradition
• Committees of Correspondence - American Revolution
• Committees of safety (American Revolution)
• Sons of Liberty

If you dig into Church history, such as in the Joseph Smith Papers, you'll find that the early Saints used committees of safety and committees of correspondence.

There are some local groups forming committees:

https://www.peoplesrights.org/

To be clear, I'm not suggesting "revolution" is the answer for our current problems (that's just an example of how the founders used committees). I'm suggesting a discussion of modern applications of committees, nullification, and standing up for our rights.

Yeah, I was telling me son, (who was complaining about how none of his friends want to box & none of the places we checked out did), just practice at home - learn together.

Me whenever I walk by him: (black eye)

...And your verbal Jujutsu is not bad either. I’m glad you accepted the call, Brother. Of course what choice did you have, really?

I’m just serious.

Hahahah that sounds fun

Thanks, that helps me understand. I definitely see a need for it, as OI mentioned. It seems that such a group could involve education of rights & what to do when they are denied (mental preparation) as well as physical and emergency preparation. But especially it would be great to find others like-minded to mutually support one another through whatever storms lie ahead.

Looking forward to discussing this & to meeting everyone.

Yeah, I used to “dance” (wrestle to music) with my little brother. I’d twirl & toss him. Then years later, he became much bigger than me & is all into CrossFit & gave me a little dance.

At times, I’m a bit too protective of my kids & got these...



Then I tried them & got knocked to Timbuktu. They look so “safe”!

WWF...Rowdy Roddy Piper...The Hulkster...Andre The Giant...Ahhh, back in the days. I grew up w a houseful of brothers. We used to drag our mattresses onto the floor and drive my mom into complete insanity. I don't think she minded the rough housing, she just probably didn't appreciate all the bloody noses. (It just never worked out the same as it did on the tv...go figure.)

I'm relatively new here, and would love to not only meet up for chat, but try Tangie's. If you haven't already sent in table size, count me in. Thanks!

The Creator, & everyone,
Anybody see this movie? “Sons of Liberty...” Looks inspiring.

I plan on being there. I look forward to putting faces to the usernames.

I wish I could come since its been awhile, but it's my anniversary today. Luckily this does give me a perfect "excuse" for why I'm leaving for lunch to go get some flowers so my wife doesn't suspect anything.
