@grok@TRHLofficial@AuronMacintyre@grok Given that Jesus reprimanded Peter for using a sword against a Roman soldier and the punishment for a non-citizen in an occupied land to attack a Roman soldier being so harsh, would you say it is probably the case that Jesus did not want Peter to be killed for his actions?
@Mormonger@theprofsrecord John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
They tried to stone Him for that. Those who didn't believe called it blasphemy because He claimed to be God.
That's how we know. That and the apostles said so, and told their followers, and they passed it down, bishop by bishop.
@wil_da_beast630 You have already lost. These "lower/unwanted" is the losing statement. They are no lower than you or I. They are not unwanted by those who love God.
@BrennCookk@BasedMikeLee This is poor logic. The idea that because there are different interpretations means that none of them are wrong is clearly flawed. It denies that there is a single Truth. This is a major heresy.
Anyone in favor of excluding the LDS from the "Christian" grouping must also justify why Jehovah Witnesses and Christian Scientists are included in the same.
I am a strict Calvinist and Presbyterian all the way -- but where the LDS is concerned, Mark 9:38-40 and Matthew 7:16 do a lot of heavy lifting here, and my own house (specifically, PCUSA) needs a lot of cleaning.
@herandrews@Cernovich Thank you for sharing.
That sounds like quite a difficult situation.
I believe we are often given people like your sister to remind us that love is a one way street, and we were not commanded to give it if we got it back. Because God loves us, and we often don't love Him back.
@ShamashAran@KurtSchlichter They have a diminishing return. As they stack it is as if they are applied against the remaining benefit. 30% of the benefit first, then 30% rating for the next issue is applied against the remaining 70% of benefit. It doesnt give you 60%, it looks more like 30+21=50
Man and wife find out their child has a genetic disorder. They kill their child in utero. They tell the world and expect sympathy.
DUDE YOU KILLED YOUR KID.
The only sympathy you get is that you fell into such a sinful and evil decision rather than choosing life.
I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision.
The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS.
Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity.
If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in.
What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical.
So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do.
There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post.
On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life.
What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…?
There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…?
The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT.
I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation.
That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear.
So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed.
There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth.
To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future.

Bout an hour north of Winter Park Colorado sits the town of Granby, in addition to being less than an hours drive to Hot Sulphur Springs in one direction and Granby Ranch ski area in the other, it’s also the site of where Marvin Heemeyer, who when pushed to the brink by local bureaucrats, fashioned himself inside DIY Tank now known as the Killdozer and proceeded to cause millions in property damage to the town’s elites and the city’s infrastructure.

@RealTheoWold@Lisaelizabeth I have often asked people who think this is ok if we found a genetic link to homosexuality would they be ok if people aborted their babies for being gay? They can never answer. Protected group think. Cannot compute.
@rustyrockets The sine wave of improvement is essential for a ticket to Heaven. We MUST cooperate with God's grace in our lives or He won't know us. Continual improvement towards Sainthood, always.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
