This exmormon thought he was exposing SA in the Church, until the Church’s phone logs came out, and the story started to fall apart.

We should always look for better ways to protect victims. However, this narrative does not line up.

@AshFarms As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, I commend you for wanting to read the Bible! I read the Bible regularly. Its time for all to come unto Christ without the gatekeeping. I believe Satan is targeting the Christianity by enticing us to fight ourselves.

[Roseanne Service @RoseanneService]

Yes!! This!!

My first sight-giving, life-giving encounter with real evidence of truth did not come with anointing clay or the Pool of Siloam. No, the instrument of truth that brought my healing from the Lord came as pages in a book—yes, the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ!

The claims of this book have been attacked and dismissed by some unbelievers, their anger often matching the vitriol of those who told the healed man he could not possibly have experienced what he knew he had experienced.

The impact in my life of the Book of Mormon is no less miraculous than was the application of spit and dirt on the blind man’s eyes.

I came to my whole-souled conviction that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a true restoration of the New Testament church and more because I cannot deny the evidence of that restoration. Since those first experiences, I suppose I have had a thousand—ten thousand?—other evidences that what I have spoken of today is true. #GeneralConference #HearHim

My life stands as evidence of the power of Christ. I have hope, purpose and joy through my relationship with Jesus, is this not evidence of His way?

I surrender to Jesus all that I am. His ways are greater. I am so filled with love today.

Thank you Henry B. Eyring #ldsgenconf

@DanEllsworthVA Amen

[Dan Ellsworth @DanEllsworthVA]

If this does not fit your definition of Christianity, then I will never, ever take seriously your definition of Christianity.
I will always prefer reality.

[Mason @webdevMason]

I think it's important to remember that we absolutely do not have to deny or minimize our theological differences in order to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, a direct commandment from Jesus that is striking in its lack of discernment on the basis of creed or piety

[Mason @webdevMason]

When I was a teenager, my Christian Leadership teacher pulled me out of English and took me for a walk around campus. She knew my grandfather had just died after years of suffering with ALS, pretty objectively one of the worst ways to go. He wasn't a believer.

She put her hand on my shoulder and told me that even though it's almost unbearable to know that my grandpa is in Hell now, something great could come of it. I could make sure that doesn't happen to another person. Like Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

My grandpa was an incredible person. I loved him a lot. Everyone who knew him loved him.

Almost immediately after that conversation, I decided God was evil. It took a little longer to shed God altogether. My last two years in college, I helped put together one of the largest atheist conferences in the country. Some of the attendees had been raised in secular homes. Most hadn't, they'd been spiritually damaged at a time when they were vulnerable.

That was more or less the disposition of my soul until about 18 years later, when I met God again and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

[Roseanne Service @RoseanneService]

Satan is real.
He rejoices when we label ourselves with modern terms.
Why?
Because it is divisive and limiting.
Modern labels restrict the way we see ourselves and others.
Ler's choose enduring identifiers like:
I am a child of God and I am a disciple of Christ.

[Roseanne Service @RoseanneService]

I often listen to "All We Like Sheep" from Handel's Messiah.
I once sang in a recording,
voices bounce like silly sheep, but then turn somber and homophonic as the sheepish sins are placed heavy upon Christ.

It always feels so personal to me.

[Roseanne Service @RoseanneService]

@JamieHuston19 Oh I have!
All my children, parents and grandparents are in same tribe, yet my middle child was put in a totally separate one... I was forced to study!
Regardless, tribes need to be more straight forward, especially for those with reading issues or unfamiliar with OT language.

[Roseanne Service @RoseanneService]

At some point we will see an LDS Church official communication regarding the outline of tribes, regarding the spiritual gifts and responsibilities associated with each.

Why be spiritually assigned to a tribe (its not by physical lineage) but then not be told what that means?

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

All of us experience
what it means to be misunderstood,
to feel that we are not truly heard.
All of us need to ask the Lord to heal our way of communicating,
not only so that we
may be more effective,
but also so that we may avoid wounding others with our words.
