@LDS_Dems Also, you can check the sex offender registry in your neighborhood. We have quite a few registered sex offenders around us and we live in what people would view as a “safe neighborhood”
@LDS_Dems Do you know why it’s safer? Because kids are watched closer by their parents. Preteens & teens are the most common age groups getting kidnapped because the parents think they’re old enough to go places alone.
@NQpilot@youngbloodaggie@EmilyBFreeman Exactly. And what do we tell them? It’s easy to say insta influencers aren’t great people to look up to but the church now holds them up as examples. It’s just frustrating.
@NQpilot@EmilyBFreeman This, is who the church chooses to represent us. All my life the scriptures & prophets & apostles have taught me to be in the world but not of the world, to dress modestly, to have a modest attitude…what am I supposed to take from this? That none of that matters?
@Making_of_a_Mom@punished_bobda Seriously. It’s like we’re living in the Twilight Zone. So many grown women immediately going out & getting multiple piercings…just living a higher & holier law I guess 🙄
@bumpkin45@jmbrim3@NQpilot@RykerJackson97 Exactly! I wonder sometimes about people on X, do they not understand how influential Instagram is for girls & women? It’s a big, big deal.
@kateiswell I love this. I was called as choir director & I can’t read music or sing. My husband would sing in the choir and give me a little nod every time I needed to cut the choir off or start them again. Definitely the hardest calling I’ve ever had.
General Washington gives the New York Convention three reasons for the American retreat from Long Island:
1. Reunite forces
2. Soldiers’ fatigue
3. Lack of shelter.
He also rejects British Gen. Howe’s 2nd letter of reconciliation.
“Those sincerely striving for greater consecration neither cast off their commitments nor the holy garment. They avoid obscenity,
keep the law of chastity,
pay their tithes,
& love & serve their spouses & children.”

@Mormonger Common sense says they’ll highlight someone who’s a good example. I’d never want my daughter to follow her example, let alone follow her on Instagram.
