@actsofapostles_ I’m now curious—What was the story he so desperately needed?

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

A recently released streaming series presents a fictionalized interpretation of events in mid-19th century Utah. While historical fiction can be illuminating, this drama is dangerously misleading.

Brigham Young, a revered prophet and courageous pioneer, is, by any historical standard, egregiously mischaracterized as a villainous, violent fanatic. Other individuals and groups are also depicted in ways that reinforce stereotypes that are both inaccurate and harmful.

As to the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which the series inaccurately portrays as reflective of a whole faith group, the Church has long acknowledged and condemned this horrific tragedy. It has also taken significant steps to uncover and share the full truth of what happened and promote healing.

The problem with such deceptive, graphic and sensationalized storytelling is that it not only obscures reality and hinders genuine understanding but can foster animosity, hate and even violence. This is particularly troubling today when peacemakers are needed more than ever. At a time when so many responsible leaders are condemning the division and hostility that dominate so much of our public discourse, we echo the plea of President Russell M. Nelson: “The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers. … Peacemaking is a choice. … I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.”

This sentiment, shared across many traditions, is resonating around the world today. It is the prophetic message of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—a message of peace that all the modern prophets have shared, including Brigham Young.

@actsofapostles_ I love your church history stories. Could you send a link or reference to where your are finding them? I’d love to do more research and study of my own.

@joefranc I’m still waiting for calculator history.

@krassenstein The fact that you have to point out that it is manipulated is a bit silly.

[Gideon Roberts @gideonr92]

@BowesChay That’s not what that means at all.

@jeremyjudkins_ You’re lucky to be alive. 3 of the 4 are front end collisions. You should consider more safe driving habits.

Anyone else use the frunk for their pizza runs?
The most practical use of the frunk is to transport pizza home. It keeps the interior from having a lingering pizza smell and keeps the pizza hot. 🔥 🍕
