Latter-day Saints can and should be peacemakers. Being a peacemaker should not be confused with pacifism. Charlie Kirk was a peacemaker; that's why so many young Latter-day Saints worked for him. Today, @GovCox was being a peacemaker by calling for justice under the rule of law. Utah law allows for capital punishment. Peacemakers can support the death penalty. Peacemakers should be genuinely kind and charitable. Peacemakers understand the balance between justice and mercy in Jesus Christ.

As a "legacy" (Boomer) Latter-day Saint, who took a 9-year apostasy nap due to PTSD and false pride, I am constantly surprised by Millennial and Zoomer Latter-day Saints getting nostalgic over President Monson and President Hinckley. I regret missing most of President Monson's tenure as Prophet, but I don't feel nostalgic about any of the 9 prophetic tenures that I have lived through since early childhood with President McKay to now with President Nelson. As a lifelong history buff and especially a Latter-day Saint history buff, I am fascinated by all 17 of the Prophets of the Restoration. I appreciate the stories and insights of @actsofapostles_ and other similar accounts. I like how President Nelson states that the Restoration is an ongoing process, not a single event. Younger Latter-day Saints have not gone through many of the social and cultural difficulties that older Latter-day Saints have. They don't see the arch of Church growth and progress beyond their own lifetimes. Two-hour meeting blocks, Gospel Library app, constant temple construction are all easily taken for granted if you never sat through a two-hour sacrament meeting as a child because a speaker was allowed to talk for 90 minutes. Or if you never caravaned in a line of cars over Teton Pass in a blizzard just to listen to the Prophet via closed circuit radio at the stake center. Or huddled in an overcrowded living room with 20 members to listen to General Conference on KSL radio because someone has a long range, hi-fi radio. Conference is just around the corner and just because I will watch via streaming in 4K on a 65" screen, don't think that I have forgotten all the sacrifices made to give me that luxury. My Gospel nostalgia spans the 200 years of the Restoration, not just the last 2 decades. I can't wait for the next General Conference. Can you?

My most traumatic childhood experience happened in 8th grade in April. In retrospect, there were clues that I never connected. On a Sunday morning, dressed for church, my dad drove me to the county hospital to see my mom, "who had been staying with friends." I don't remember if anyone said anything to prepare for what I saw. I stared through a wire-reinforced door window at my mom restrained and drugged senseless. Post-suicide attempt psychiatric care in 1969 was barbaric. My mom was emotionally fragile. My older brother had gotten into drugs in high school. He was a senior when I was in 8th grade. Our younger sister was in 4th grade. My brother blamed all of his poor choices on my parents and moved out. He planned to finish high school living with his drug buddies. My mom tried to end her life while my sister and I were at school. My sister found her on the kitchen floor, getting home about 90 minutes before I did. She had to get help in an age when 9-1-1 didn't exist and ambulances didn't just drive out into the country. A neighbor drove them to the hospital. Another neighbor went to my dad's work site. No one told me anything. My dad couldn't talk about it. I don't remember anyone telling me anything until we went to the home of Latter-day Saint friends where my sister was staying. Brother Duenas told me everything while my dad just sobbed. My sister sat expressionless, shocked by our father in tears. She's still angry at our mother for putting her in the position of saving her as a little girl. My mom was allowed to attend my 8th grade graduation. My sister finished 4th grade living with friends. I started 9th grade with my mom in and out of hospital care. She couldn't deal with the hateful things that my older brother said, not for years. Then, when I was a sophomore in high school, she put it all behind her. To my surprise, she got a teaching credential and started teaching 1-on-1 reading to kids that no one else could teach to read. She did so for a decade until after my father passed away from cancer. Then, she served a mission. When my mom passed away in the fall of 2000, more than a 100 people in the funeral receiving line told me that my mom taught them to read when no one could or even tried to. She overcame her worst crisis in life and helped others.

Divorce sucks. During the 9 years of my mists of personal darkness, my wife moved out as an effort to wake me up. Instead, I filed for divorce and then became even more worldly. I was not happy. One evening, I went to my favorite health food store, just to not be alone. I bumped into a former bishop. He looked at me piercingly and said, "Don't give up on yourself, Brother; no one else has." As I got into the car, I checked my phone. My ex-wife had called. Another time, I might have ignored it but after what my former bishop said, calling her back became urgent, painfully urgent. I called and we really talked for the first time in a long time. I knew what I had to do. She later told me that she had been in the temple and felt prompted to call when she could. She had prayed throughout our separation that Heavenly Father would "kick him me in the backside." That’s exactly how the urge to get back on the Covenant Path with her felt. After we were remarried and I was able to return to the temple, I felt my parents and grandmother there. I knew that I had guardian angels on both sides of the veil, praying for my return. My wife never gave up on me. Avoid divorce. Repentance is always better. Temple covenants are sacred. Temple marriage is the most sacred covenant of all. Every time that she is a little snippy, I remind myself that she is one of my better angels who never gave up on me.

You are why this happened. The murderer thought that he was serving Jesus Christ by murdering Latter-day Saints on Sunday. You own this violence. Muting you.
Amid the attack on the Mormon church, here is quick reference for folks wanting to know what Mormons believe. While you read it assk yourself: is this biblical Christianity? From Justin Taylor: Mormons claim that God the Father was once a man and that he then progressed to godhood (that is, he is a now-exalted, immortal man with a flesh-and-bone body). Mormons believe that humans, like God the Father, can go through a process of exaltation to godhood. Mormons believe that the Trinity consists not of three persons in one God but rather of three distinct gods. According to Mormonism, there are potentially many thousands of gods besides these. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ was the firstborn spirit-child of the heavenly Father and a heavenly Mother. Jesus then progressed to deity in the spirit world. He was later physically conceived in Mary’s womb, as the literal “only begotten” Son of God the Father in the flesh (though many present-day Mormons remain somewhat vague as to how this occurred). Mormons believe that Adam’s transgression was a noble act that made it possible for humans to become mortal, a necessary step on the path to exaltation to godhood. Mormons believe that Christ’s atonement secures immortality for virtually all people, whether they repent and believe or not. Mormons believe that God gives to (virtually) everyone a general salvation to immortal life in one of the heavenly kingdoms, which is how they understand salvation by grace. Belief in Christ is necessary only to obtain passage to the highest, celestial kingdom—for which not only faith but participation in Mormon temple rituals and obedience to its “laws of the gospel” are also prerequisites. Mormons claim that “total” apostasy overcame the church following apostolic times, and that the Mormon Church (founded in 1830) is the “restored church.” In short, they're our neighbors that we ought to care about and care for, but they are not Christian believers.

Missionary companion experiences: My father had cancer when I left on my mission. We discussed the possibility of his passing during my mission. (He lived another six years.) But he told me to complete my mission regardless of what happened with his health. During language training at the brand new MTC (LTM back then), my companion's father was killed in a car wreck. The LTM president counseled my companion to stay in the LTM and not visit his mother in Draper or go to his father's funeral. We spent the entire day of the funeral in the Provo Temple, doing session after session. Before we left to rejoin our district for dinner, my companion told me that his father had been with him in the Celestial Room and gave him the same counsel that my father gave me: Do the Lord's work. Complete the mission. Blessings will follow. My mission has blessed my entire life and the lives of my children and grandchildren.

Wrong again. Galatians 1:1-12 actually affirms three important Latter-day Saint beliefs: in verses 1-5, Paul affirms that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are separate divine beings contrary to your Hellenistic Creedal Trinitarianism; in verses 6-9, Paul warns against all forms of apostasy, including your own intellectual arrogance; in verses 10-12, Paul teaches us that Revelation of Jesus Christ is what commissions authority to speak of and for Jesus Christ, not your religious bigotry. Coincidentally, Joseph Smith received multiple personal revelations of Jesus Christ, the first in 1820. You have not.

I sustain all 17 Prophets of the Restoration, beginning with Joseph Smith Jr through to President Russell M Nelson. Hurrah for Israel!
Joseph Smith accomplished more than any mortal man could have accomplished in so short a time. During his 38 and a half years of life, Joseph Smith was a man of the frontier—young, emotional, dynamic, and so loved and approachable by the people that they often called him “Brother Joseph.” His comparative youth overarched his prophetic ministry. He was 14 at the time of the First Vision, 21 when he received the golden plates, and just 23 when he finished translating the Book of Mormon (in 65 to 75 working days). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized when Joseph Smith was 24 years old, and over half of the revelations in our Doctrine and Covenants were given through this prophet when he was 25 or younger. Additionally, “[He] founded cities, including Kirtland, Far West, and Nauvoo; called and trained hundreds of church leaders; studied Hebrew and the Bible;… ran businesses, alone and with partners; developed real estate and built temples; wrote and published articles and editorials;… served in several civil capacities, including commander-in-chief of a large legion of militia men, as well as the mayor and chief judge for the city of Nauvoo... attracted tens of thousands of followers, prompting waves of converts to immigrate to the United States” (Gordon A. Madsen, Jeffrey N. Walker, and John W. Welch, eds., Sustaining the Law: Joseph Smith’s Legal Encounters (Provo: BYU Studies, 2014), xi-xii). The only possible explanation is Heavenly help. As one of his associates wrote just after his martyrdom: “Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it” (Doctrine and Covenants 135:3).

Before Lake Keokuk on the Mississippi River, you could wade across the Mississippi between Nauvoo and Zarahemla (Montrose, Iowa). I served my mission in southern Mexico in the late 1970s and visited Nauvoo in the summer of 2022. Today, was the first time that I found myself visualizing actual topography as I read Alma 2. Something to ponder. The most important message in Alma 2 for our times is to be wary of false political ideologies that contradict Gospel principles. Be prayerful. Follow the Prophet.

Contrary to Hollywood propaganda, Latter-day Saints built a lot of the Transcontinental Railroad to reduce the number of trail side Latter-day Saint graves between 1846 and 1869. 6. Latter-day Saints made Salt Lake City a safe place for all people of all faiths. We don't persecute others. We have been refugees in America. Have you?

Trump routinely shadows various service jobs at his businesses, so that he personally understands how his employees interact with the paying public. This is not new behavior for @realDonaldTrump. He has played doorman and luggage carrier in his hotels and resorts. He has worked the front desk. His father would have trained him to do the grunt jobs to be able to assess the quality of service at a glance. My dad was that way with us on construction jobs; do the grunt catch up jobs so your eyes catch everything.

40 years ago, a young Latter-day Saint couple included some Evangelical friends on the reception guest list. One "friend" put an Anti-LDS pamphlet in her wedding gift, opened at the reception at our little branch meetinghouse. The bride dropped the pamphlet back inside the gift box, returned it to the guest and invited her to leave the reception. The Evangelical girl looked genuinely surprised that her behavior was offensive. She tried to play victim without success and left.

Cheney needs to retire to Jackson Hole WY and let the Latte Leftists of Teton County adore her as the Democrat in RINO cosplay that she's always been.

Goodbye old friend. Lots of memories made there. Sitting in the Celestial Room next to my mission companion on the day of his father's funeral and hearing him share that he felt his father's presence there. I put the engagement ring on my future wife's finger in the flower garden behind the temple. Looking forward to the new temple as well.

Nonsense, @grok, your algorithm leans left. We'll trust our "lying eyes." @POTUS acted within his authority and national guardsmen know how to crash in space available. You are not helping Newsom.

My mom was not a Latter-day Saint when marrying my dad. My grandma gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon as a birthday gift. Later, an aunt told my mom, "Read this book; it will change your life." My mom often said that it changed her life for the better. Try it. I did.

Maple sugar currently sales for $18/lb on Amazon. Joseph Smith's family produced 6000 lbs of it per year. That would be worth $108K today. They also grew their own food and made homecraft goods. But anti-lds grifters would have us believe that the Smiths were idle grifters, not hardworking, God-fearing Americans. Right.

You dishonor @charliekirk11 to snark at Latter-day Saints? The assassin was "Mormon" the same way that Judas Iscariot was "Christian." Judas and you have more in common than us.

We decided to turn off the news and listen to General Conference before getting ready for bed. We need to be connected with Jesus Christ through the Holy Ghost and the Special Witnesses of Jesus Christ now more than ever. God bless us all.

Too bad that you chose a generic Protestant worship service in place of Latter-day Saint worship services.

Latter-day Saints are grieving for the death of @charliekirk11 and don't need 2nd hand guilt trips about Tyler Robinson being radicalized contrary to our faith. Another reason to never subscribe to @nypost.
Tyler Robinson was raised mormon — and killed Charlie Kirk moments after he praised the church trib.al/FuYyFP6

Have other Latter-day Saints noticed that General Conference talks now have paragraph numbers in the Library app? I love that feature. It makes quorum lesson study so much easier, individually and during class discussions. #GeneralConference #LibraryApp

My whole opinion of @GovCox has changed for the better. His eloquence in quoting multiple @charliekirk11 quotations in the news conference this morning was genuinely inspirational. I am both disturbed and saddened that a Latter-day Saint young man was radicalized by the left into a cold-blooded murderer and assassin. Leftism is evil. We must teach our youth to be peacemakers and avoid evil.

Wind turbines across Oklahoma are ugly and useless. They damage farmland. There's a Windmill "graveyard" along Highway 74 north of Oklahoma City, acres and acres of gigantic discarded windmill parts. The massive leftover garbage is not recyclable.

Professor Bybee advocates for DEI. It's pinned to his profile. So, of course he believes that it's okay to dog on Trump without return commentary in support of President Trump.

Story from my mission: I was filling the outdoor, above ground baptismal font at a prominent member's home in Mexico. An 18year-old neighbor wandered over to watch. Me: Do you know anything about the Church? Him: I took all the lessons. Me: Have you been to church? Him: Several times. My dad said that I couldn't get baptized until I turned 18. Me: Would you like to be baptized today? Him: Yes. That's why I came over. I interviewed him, baptized him and got a letter a year later announcing his mission call.

I have a half-brother who was 20 years older than me. His mother divorced my dad soon after his birth in 1934. He was not raised in the Church. His stepfather was abusive and he was allowed to stay with our grandmother but not to attend church with her. He stayed with my newlywed parents as a teenager but still was not allowed to attend our church. Years later, his own 11yo daughter was flipping the channel one Sunday morning, checking out various religious programs. It happened to be General Conference Sunday and she chanced to hear President Spencer W Kimball giving a talk. She asked her dad, "Isn't this Grandpa's church?" My half-brother told her that it was. She observed, "They don't yell and wave their arms around like crazy people, do they?" My half-brother agreed, to which she asked, "Can find we out more? I like how peaceful they are." I was a young adult by then. Our grandmother had recently passed away. My dad was very emotional when he told us that my half-brother, his wife and two daughters had all been baptized. My half-brother later told me that he knew that it was because of the Gospel that our dad and grandmother were such good people. That difference was what opened his heart and the heart of his daughter to learning more.

I'm thankful for how the Book of Mormon has shaped my whole life and family heritage. Daily reading helps me stay connected to Jesus Christ. My 2nd great-grandmother first received a copy of the Book of Mormon in 1834. It's what brought many of my ancestors together. My grandmother gave a copy to my mother as a birthday gift. An aunt told my mom that it would change her life. My mom told that it really did dozens of times. My wife and her family all became part of my life because of the Book of Mormon. Let it bless you, too.
