Jackson County land acknowledgment: we recognize that we are gathered on the unceded ancestral land of the Latter-day Saint people.

@ldsabuse giving the church my medical records as soon as possible

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@jkimballcook Well if you don't take it at face value then the sample is not an accurate representation of why people leave the church, which is what it purports to be. It's really only good for satisfying curiosity.

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@natemaklocklin yes

@ldsabuse @ThoughtfulSaint @WardRadioShow @latterdailyst @therealkimsmit1 @RestoredTruth8 looks fun

@jesse_k_fox I’ve “really listened” to hundreds of people who have left. There actually isn’t that much to learn.

@jesse_k_fox @RalphCHancock Whether or not grace changes things is not the question. The question is whether it destroys nature and replaces it with a perfect but different kind of thing or whether it perfects nature. Important conclusions flow from how you answer that question.

@NateForUtah Black transgender (ftm) moderate democrat here, and I'm on the fence about whether to vote for you or ben mcadams. I'm looking for a candidate who will protect our LGBTQ community by organizing drag shows in every elementary school and library in our state.

@PinkneyAtLarge I should join the white caucus

To those who doubt: Justin and Kenna Valdez moved away from family so they could more easily walk away from their faith. But their eight-year-old son still wanted to be baptized.

Sensing a door opening, a wise stake president scheduled us for a ministering visit to their home. Kenna eventually confided that she still had faith in the Savior, and even a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but faced a few triggering issues that held her back.

We promised them that as they anchored on the things they believed, the Lord would help with the things they didn’t. Overcoming their concerns was not an issue of resolving every faith question but of helping them recognize the Holy Ghost.

As President Dallin H. Oaks recently taught, “You live in a season where the adversary has become so effective at disguising truth that if you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you will be deceived.”

Justin and Kenna began to make the changes necessary to come back to church. Six months after our visit, Kenna texted me: “Hi Elder Gilbert! We are ready to be sealed as a family.”

This is a photo from the day they were sealed at the temple.

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling all of us home.

@natemaklocklin @boggs_is_cringe What? Of course it does. It means that the church does not support "gay marriage rights" as such, contrary to your claim.

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@natemaklocklin @boggs_is_cringe Honestly I admire you for conceding that you were wrong and that the Church supported rfma as a compromise to secure religious exemptions and not because it supports same-sex marriage legalization as such.

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@natemaklocklin The church does not support legalizing same sex marriage as such. The church supported rfma as a compromise position. Every time church leaders have talked about that they have made it clear (Oaks).

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@GayMormonMason @jkimballcook That would mean that it is possible for God to lie but that he just never lies. That’s ostler’s position.

[Jonah Deforge @JonahDeforge]

@LDS_Dems Why does our success as a society hinge on marriage?
