@BenjiBacker@BasedMikeLee Top left photo is clearly being used for agriculture. Other 3 show places that are hardly ideal for anything other than recreation.
The human family isn't going anywhere. 3rd smallest state, Connecticut = 3.1 mil acres. I think undeveloped wilderness can take the hit.
@hodgetwins@BasedMikeLee Visit some local BLM land, dudes. I'm my experience, much isn't IG worthy. These photos are sort of disingenuous. We can and should be using some of it for communities, businesses, energy production, agriculture, etc. Humans aren't going anywhere. We have an abundance of space.
@LDSMormon I'd agrue that over the years, the focus at the ward/troop level in the program became more about "advancement" then Scouting in general. A broad brush, I know. It's my perspective. It's complicated. Recognition is important, but some lost the point. Those that didn't, evolved.
@BlackBlessedLDS You quoted the "day and hour". I like to think that could be literal. Month, year, decade is certainly possible. Prophets of old have seen the beginning and end. Samuel the prophet new a time frame.
I agree though, speculation isn't necessary.
Trim your lamps.
@Deseret@sambbenson I can see Elders Quorums from around the state eagerly gathering at the Romney home to pack that U-Haul in record time. They don't even need to serve donuts and milk as an incentive to get dudes assist.
@busy_bee_me Love him.
Tell him it's okay not to serve a mission.
When the timing is right, tell him his choice is based on one person...Jesus Christ. Then suggest he ask Heavanly Father WHY, not IF, He wants him to serve.
@LDSMormon I loved BSA. I'm not all that sad that we left the program. I worked as a SM for several years and loved it, but was frustrated that it was more about becoming an ES than BEING a BS.
We still have the tools without the trail to Eagle. The trail is still out there go find it!
@TrulyTexan74167 I served a stateside mission 30 years ago. Same with 3 of my 4 brothers. We all had "apostate" Elders in our missions... we had to serve with many. Many go without the proper testimony to serve. I've tried my best to discourage the "peer pressure" to go for years.
@EndWokeness How is she still a working actress? She's relevant onky becuase she was little and cute in Interview with a Vampire.
Also, she didn't have to fight the Green Goblin to the death.
