There are those on this platform, and IRL over the last 200 years, who obsess about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so much that being “against Jesus Christ’s restored gospel” has become “who they are”.
To these ardent and often vitriolic anti-LDS personalities I reiterate what so many others have said.
Your posts will not move me from the testimony I have received. The Holy Ghost has confirmed the reality of Jesus Christ and His restored gospel to me, and that truth guides my life. Through personal witness manifest of the Spirit, I have come to know this for myself.
I wish you well as you walk your own path. It would be better for all of us to spend our energy living what we believe instead of arguing about the faith of others, or worse, pretending we can command God and be His gatekeeper.
Nevertheless, I know what God has revealed to me, and I cannot deny a lifetime of personal experiences with God. Nor will I.
Mayor Frey, with the most respectful passive-aggression I can muster on this particular Sunday morning — today is MEMORIAL DAY.
Not "George Floyd Day." Not "police reform awareness day." Not a campaign backdrop for your next election cycle.
Memorial Day is for the kid from Minneapolis who enlisted at 19, shipped out to Fallujah, and came home in a flag-draped coffin. It is for the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who gave EVERYTHING so that you could post politically convenient threads from a comfortable office.
And you chose TODAY to make it about a man who, per court records, had approximately 19-20 arrests, served multiple jail sentences, committed an armed home invasion in which a woman had a pistol pressed to her abdomen in front of her children, and had fentanyl AND methamphetamine in his system at the time of his death.
None of that makes what happened to him acceptable. A jury convicted Derek Chauvin and the courts handled it. But spare me the canonization on the one day a year set aside for people who actually put on a uniform and served this country.
Quinn's Law #13: liberals can never let a good crisis go to waste. Six years later and you are STILL milking it. The crisis is apparently a renewable resource.
Quinn's Law #9: to liberals, intentions are more significant than outcomes. Minneapolis has been run exclusively by Democrats for decades. How is that working out for the neighborhoods you claim to be reforming?
You want to honor someone today? There are 58,000 names on a wall in Washington. Start there. The ones who are not there because they are still dying — from burn pit cancer, from PTSD, from wounds that never fully healed — they could also use a thread.
But a career criminal with a rap sheet longer than most people's resumes? On Memorial Day?
Not the sharpest tool in the shed does not even begin to cover this one.
But what do I know — I am only a science teacher and medically retired Army combat medic who actually knows the difference between a man who died in a drugged-up, likely excited delirium, police incident and the men and women who died FOR this country.

You won’t regret watching this clip
I first listened to this truly prophetic speech decades ago, but I’ve thought about it countless times since then
Neal A. Maxwell masterfully diagnosed the problems with our increasingly godless society
@RoKhanna You’re in Congress and clearly don’t know the job of SCOTUS. This is why democrats are dangerous.
SCOTUS is not supposed to act as moral arbiters or policymakers like you want them to.
Their job is to interpret the law as written. It’s that simple.
@SenorVito9 Search the scriptures for the the word chastise. You will find plenty of examples. Elder A Maxwell wrote a book titled All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience. Read it.
I just want everyone to have lots of babies and not raise them in single parent homes and daycares. That’s the reason I am on this godforsaken app and doing these podcasts and writing books.
Some crazy psycho in LA started harassing a peaceful Christian street preacher. She aggressively grabbed his arm, tried to unplug his mic, and tried to kick his speaker.
Make her famous and let’s send a message, if anyone messes with one of us, they mess with all of us.
Does anyone know who she is? Help me identify her!
@_bro_hen Elder Maxwell also lists three types of suffering (challenges) in All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience, Chapter 3. Type 3 is "challenges that come to us because an omniscient Lord deliberately chooses to school us". It's a great book.
@joyinbecomingp1 They didn't expose anything. Anyone whose been paying attention knows these things. They'll probably be shocked to find out the church has a commercial side.
