God even notices the sparrow, but look how much importance you have put on a "mortal" Could our Lord not raise anyone of us up to do his work or be a prophet? btw Our prophet has plenty of support and other men that he can call on as well as the Savior. He has knowledge of satan and his tactics - the prophet is not a victim.

The Good news is that the wicked will soon be destroyed, God's judgement
will come upon them and wipe them from the face of this earth.
The bad news is that we will have to go through some awful times to get there.
sorry to give you bad news. those who remain will have to make a lot of decisions without a prophet. Just as Washington DC and government will be destroyed, and Missouri wiped clean, then our temples will be destroyed or desecrated and our prophets will be killed as quickly as the government. I am sure that this is a surprise to you. Our leaders will be killed, held in bondage or will run away and hide. Shortly, after this happens, then God will give permission to a band of saints who still carry the priesthood to organize and start collecting people to Zion. Maybe we have a prophet, maybe not. I used "we" because I will be a part of this.

Lets see when did this happen in the past: Israel in Egypt bondage, Israel in Babylon bondage, crusifiction of Jesus Christ, martyrdom of JS, end time of Nephites, etc. Why would God act in any different way than he already has? IF you can only follow a prophet and not the HG, then you will be hard pressed to be of any help to us in Zion. You will be lost somewhere when you are needed most. Just like you would have been lost during the times that I have mentioned in the statements before this. What did the remnants of these events do? The ball is in your court. Tell me.

Good Brethren, it appears to me that you are of a different faith than me. I love God, and I try to love all of Gods children. I am
respectful of others beliefs. Please share with me your religious beliefs.

This is not some sort of a trap or anything. My guess is that you are Community of Christ. If that is
true, i would really enjoy talking with you, I am sincere.

If it is another religion, I would still love to talk with you about it.

I am currently a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Gadianton Slayer wrote: March 24th, 2021, 3:36 pmI can’t help but relate the current state of members in the church to the parable of the ten virgins. Whether or not our leaders are on the right track, I believe it will be to our doom if we simply rely on their faith...

1) We need to be CONSTANTLY seeking to better ourselves...

2) ... personal revelation in your individual life. Your “oil” is yours and yours alone.

3) ...the church will not be prepared in all the ways that are needed (partly because of the all is well mindset, and partly because they are proud and do not think they can do wrong), hence...

“His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter...”


...Those who seek for truth will need to separate themselves from that influence...

Exact obedience to anyone or anything aside from God and promptings of the Spirit is not the way...
Great points!
This is so very needed, not only for the reasons mentioned, but also because we are under psychological warfare. Not only do we have our own immediate drama, and the cult-like church’s drama to face, but we also have government-sponsored media trying to turn people against each other out of unjustified fear and shaming. PSY OPS is absolutely real - an actual part of US military.

We can not afford to be apathetic anymore. We must take the bull by the horns and set out our own strategy and goals to “maintain our oil.”
Eg: Can you think of 3 thoughts that uplift you when you’re feeling discouraged?
Which cognitive distortions do you struggle with most?
What life traps hold you back?
What thoughts and dreams have given you insights?
When have you felt the Spirit? Write it down to help remind you of spiritual help.
Pray always - mostly listening.

I was with you when this all started a year ago. I did my shopping at Smith's and stuck out like a sore thumb
without a mask. I thought it was a bunch of silly nonsense.

But when the Prophet told us to be kind to one another and wear masks, my heart was softened.

My parents are elderly and are terrified by this. They rarely leave the house, I do their shopping for them.
I wear a mask now, not because I believe in it, but for other people. If those poor old people I see doing their
own shopping can feel a little safer if they see me with a mask, it is a small thing i can do for my fellow brothers
and sisters.

Fear is cause by lack of knowledge. A child may be frightened by a 6 foot long snake, until he gains the knowledge that that variety is harmless to humans, but eats rattle snakes for lunch, then he reaches down and pets it, if it lets him.

Another thing that can cause fear is lack of faith. Daniel had no reason to fear the lions because he knew that God was going to make them wait a little while for lunch.

So when anti-Christ, devil worshipers, lie to people in order to get them to wear the evil symbol of compliance, they are simply proving their loyalty to satan. All Bishops, Stake Presidents, and others that attempt to instill fear in order to get a person to wear a mask are simply evil pricks attempting to prove their loyalty to satan and to show God how little faith they have in Him. One might say that proclaiming mask wearing is a good measure of how much a person truly hates the Almighty God.

Today, someone pointed out the word “SEE” in John 3:3:
  • ”Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.”
What does it mean to be born again?
I’ve taught my kids it means to keep learning, but of course that entails more than what may be apparent. A GA (for those who honor appeal to authority ;)) said that as Mormons, we believe in being born again & again & again… Eternal progress.

Maybe being born again is to be pure in intent.
  • ”Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” -Matt 5:8
Humble ourselves as children so God can make weak things strong. It could be that the ideal is not to have troubles be gone, but to strengthen ourselves to handle well.

Good points. I don’t want to hate people that say or do things I disagree with, but I can’t help but notice what things represent - at least to me. Even when someone gives a great speech if they’re wearing a mask, I think, “What you are doing is speaking so loud, I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

What you implied about fear being based on lack of knowledge is so true. Often fears are blown up in our minds & if we wrestle with God within (as God wants), we can gain more knowledge. And I think Joseph Smith said knowledge is the 1 thing we can take with us after this life. Then again, I acknowledge that some truths are hard to take - for us all. Line upon line.

I see what you mean.

I will continue to not wear a mask because people need to know that they don’t have to be afraid. If we continue to comply, mandates will keep coming.

By wearing the mask even if you know it is wrong, you are signifying to them that it’s ok and telling them there’s still something to fear. Their fear is based on a lie, and I don’t want to be a part of fanning those flames. It needs to end.

The church is the entire body of membership. So I lean towards phrases life "our leaders" and "church leaders" to emphasize the institutional/hierarchical nature of my comments... for clarity.

Looks like someone is cringe no matter how we phrase things.
I prefer to say 'our church rulers' or 'our church overlords' 😉😇
I humbly kneel before those "rulers" or "overlords" if they posses the Keys of the Kingdom
Kneel only to God. He would be saddened if you knelt to any other being. Including any prophets. And any real prophet would abhor the act.

“And now, they said: We know of a surety that the Lord is with thee, for we know that it is the power of the Lord that has shaken us. And they fell down before me, and were about to worship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother; wherefore, worship the Lord thy God, and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.” 1 Nephi 17:55

This is a difficult time we find ourselves in. Many don't want to discuss the elephant in the room. I appreciate those who posted quotes on this thread for added perspective.

For myself and others who have done a deep deep dive into the covid fraud and deadly vaccines, it presents a dilemma I have never before encountered...nor have I found one in scripture to compare with.

The question is a simple one: what do you do when you KNOW and can easily prove that what Q15 is "urging" it's membership to do is FACTUALLY AND MORALLY WRONG...and actually a grave danger to the membership itself.

Myself and others are not rebels, apostates or looking for an excuse to bash Q15. We are not trying to be disrespectful.

I find I have to separate the gospel from the church with a tall reinforced concrete wall in order to carry on currently.

Many people are being injured and killed needlessly, it is like a nightmare...but efficiently censored from view by the MSM, big-tech, big-pharma. IT IS THE SECRET COMBINATION SPOKEN OF IN ETHER 8. Unfortunately, many have NOT awakened yet.

The needless death and suffering haunts me, sickens me and disgusts me. It is evil. I cannot in good conscience be silent. I only have a small megaphone, but I am going to use it.

I have to choose TRUTH, there is no other alternative. God is light and truth. I am going with truth, let the chips fall where they may.

You are definitely not alone in thinking this. At times, I have gotten by myself & just yelled to vent my frustration - other times I have cried thinking about the possibility of a secondary match binary weapon killing my loved ones who have taken the vaccine… And I’ve felt a mix of emotion encountering loved ones shaming me for not going along with illogical, immoral, unconstitutional medical coercion.

At this moment, I feel enough presence of mind to suggest that point of view of missionary. Imagine you felt spiritually led to a group of people - most of who had no desire to hear truth - but 1 or 2 were desperately praying and searching for a long time for truth that you could share. Christ is the archetype of free speech - let’s follow his example.

Again, TrueFaith shared (why many follow narrative… previously already anxious, lacking meaning & belonging - so joining covid cult helps that. :33 about 1/3 hypnotized, 1/3 go along & 1/3 resist. Keep speaking & survive - eventually the corrupt tyranny will collapse itself.
