Essay: Where are the Robbers?
I figured this corner of the forum is probably the best place for this essay written by my friend Eric Smith. I was actually a bit surprised that the words “Secret Combinations” have been used so infrequently in General Conference during my lifetime.

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
I’ve made a lot of traction in conversations by pointing out that in all scripture, the *enemy* is clearly identified, but that in the modern day church, there seems to be no enemy.

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
As I have tried to discuss were the "Robbers and latter Day Gadiantons are at", especially with family they just roll their eyes at me. I have a brother that is a CPA, he has referenced to me several times that I should take his advice in matters of finance. I have calmly replied that as I have been employed at the highest levels of government maybe he should take my advice on were the Robbers and Gadiantons are at and rethink who he is investing in.....

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
Very telling indeed. The BoM message is very clear that we are to overcome these secret combinations or we will be destroyed by them, but the brethren are completely silent on the matter.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑November 29th, 2022, 6:18 pm I figured this corner of the forum is probably the best place for this essay written by my friend Eric Smith.

No, the church has been corrupted and controlled by the enemy. They still do some good by fulfilling scripture in taking the knowledge of the fulness to the House of Israel.

I honestly can't tell you what they are spreading around these days.

The Q15 now refer to the Gadiantons as "wise and thoughtful".

Yeah, more lies than truth, but the BoM is being taken to all the world so in that sense, many are being given the opportunity to receive more and I'm grateful that at least that is happening.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑November 30th, 2022, 1:37 pm I honestly can't tell you what they are spreading around these days.

It's kind of like a tiered system of truth and lies. There are always chances to receive more truth, but you had better learn to sift through the lies to get it.

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
This is has been amazing to me as well as frightening. Monsters aren't going to come out of nowhere. They have been here for some time just we were unaware. Like a frog boiling in the pot, as the steam clears mormons are starting to see the worldly wolfman, doctrinal dracula and liberal blob sitting in the hot tub with us.mtmom wrote: ↑November 30th, 2022, 4:01 pmI think they are all around us.

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
Telling people to put on a mask in order to protect yourself and others is not evil. It is an invitation to charity and it was treated as such by pretty much everyone outside the American ultra-right wing.Reluctant Watchman wrote: ↑November 30th, 2022, 9:26 pmThe counsel they gave was evil.

And telling someone ridiculously that masks are a sign of Communism when the Taiwanese were doing so willingly smacks of utter situational ignorance.

BTW, that FP message was about the jab. Now that has proven to be evil.

Re: Essay: Where are the Robbers?
There's your quote from the first presidency. Earlier in their statements, they urged us to wear masks and observe other draconian governmental measures (lockdowns, etc)which were later thoroughly proven not to be effective against transmission. Shouldn't prophets be able to discern truth from error, good from evil? Safe and effective vaccines from dangerous experimental injections?The First Presidency expressed “sincere love and great concern for all of God’s children” in the message, sent as confirmed cases across the globe exceeded 204 million, with the United States passing 36 million and some states instituting face-mask mandates.
“We can win this war if everyone will follow the wise and thoughtful recommendations of medical experts and government leaders,” they wrote.
They either speak with God and receive revelation or they DO NOT. They used their position of authority to leverage the saints to do these things which have been proven harmful, ineffective, and an infringement upon our liberties. Lock and step with Babylon. There's your church.
You won't recognize it in a few more years after they go full blown leftarded.
