To Whom Shall We Go? Tale of the Orwellian Restoration

Post by Good & Global »

Google and Facebook and yes Twitter too even under Musk are largely constructs for narrative control. They censored many conservatives and covid data.

Is it any wonder why the Church in efforts to suppress their own truths, or rather not useful facts as BKP would call them, has turned to these enemies?

* 2008 Church against Facebook but 5 years later does 180 even making missionaries proselyte via Facebook

* Ballard telling people to avoid social media like plague - 2018 etc all Q15 on twitter account even Nelson in 2020 posting a photo of him laughing swinging on a tree swing in shirt tie sweater or pretending to vacuum (all 100% believable of course at 98 and fresh off the plane from Jacinda Arden) or showing himself receiving shots just like good virtue signallers do

* 2023 after 60 minutes interview about finances The Church basically paid Google to consider the matter closed too what in the past were all articles talking about church finances and how exactly they violated SEC rules suddenly were pushed all the way down as the top 10, first page paid search results were all church or church favorable (ie their affiliates Deseret News, LDS Living, blogs, etc were the top search results. Imagine the irony of using tithing funds to hide the news about how they hid the amount of tithing donations from their own members so it could be diverted to their own private hedge fund for investing

This last one was the two weeks it immediately came out the results had changed overnight about Wednesday or Thursday of what had been lots of news outlets reporting on it. Apparently the suddenly annunced Bells at Temple Square concert available Wednesday online and in person campaign did not distract people too well. Look mommy Bells!

That is some pretty Orwellian Restoration right there, sorry I meant ongoing.

The church tends to be behind the curve. It jumps on Faecebook just as it is collapsing.

So you are saying there is a chance...

they might just have the timing of the Second Coming down to the day to withdraw $150B from the stock market before it all crashes in the destruction across the land

Deseret News is now available from within Church News app
Now you dont have to outside the walled garden at all.

Speaking of which here is a breaking headline in Deseret News
https://www.deseret.com/2023/4/29/23693 ... -eras-tour
Yet we cant figure out why we are losing youth to babylon. Come on seriously?

Also young adults are now celebrating games in Berlin. Deja vu?
But it's for special olympics so it has to be good.

https://www.thechurchnews.com/global/20 ... -in-berlin

Deseret News article in 1933 discussing how Hitler observes the word of wisdom - seriously dry mormon talk?

Discernment anyone?

Here is a photo from the recent Preach My Gospel fervor. These first two photos are not from the same event.

The last one even Uchtdorf dozes off.
