This just breaks my heart. He gave the best talks! He is reunited with his wife now.

I have two medical conditions that cause serious issues with heat, so I am not unfamiliar with those challenges. I understand that everyone’s experiences are different, no matter the subject. My experience was that I wear perfectly normal clothes, no different from the non-church members around me, yet I routinely get attitude from people who say they struggle with garment wearing, or just have downright disdain for me when I share my experience.

I’ve never had any issues with finding garment friendly clothes, nor do I dress in layers. I didn’t need to change my wardrobe when I joined the church and received my endowment. I wear the same clothes I’ve been wearing for years. Skirts and t-shirts in warm weather. Jeans/pants with sweaters or sweatshirts in cold weather.

I don’t get all the hoopla, either. There’s barely a sleeve already. I’m of an age where I’m not going to wear sleeveless tops, anyway, so I don’t see any circumstance where I would purchase these.

The university that I work for, declared itself a sanctuary campus quite some time ago. I’ve never heard of any pushback.

Actually, he could have posted many, many more quotes that were just as bad, if not worse. He’s showing the truth of who Kirk was. Death did not erase his actions, and turn him into a saint.

I converted from Judaism. We always had people carrying at services and events. During the High Holy Days, the security was increased. It included additional armed personnel, uniformed and civilian, along with squad cars in prominent positions. I distinctly remember being in a particularly large synagogue one Yom Kippur, and thinking how easy it would be for a terrorist to kill hundreds of Jews at once. It was a chilling thought.

I’m watching stake conference from home. They started off recognizing President Nelson’s passing. Everyone on the stand was openly weeping. It kind of broke me. I think everyone needs extra hugs today.

I’ve already seen comments online that this shooting is good because”Mormons”. President Nelson just died. Yet another mass shooting. Not even the only one in the last 24 hours. The National Guard is now deployed here. This country is lost.

I can’t help but think about the fact that before he was called as an apostle, he had already made a great impact on the world as a world-renowned heart surgeon. He spent a lifetime in service to others.

Typical guy.

I’m sure this will get shut down for being political, but Nancy Mace is a despicable person. Institutionalizing someone simply for being transgender is wrong on so many levels, I can’t even articulate how wrong it is.

I wish I had adequate words of comfort. Sending you a virtual hug.

I’m out of reps to give today, so here’s a high five. 🖐️

I could say something about you not being very bright, but that would be against the rules.

Inactive members remaining on the rolls does not harm the church. Indeed, if you put a couple of functioning brain cells together, you could understand why the church doesn’t arbitrarily remove inactive members from its rolls. By the way, the growth of membership numbers stems from new members being added to the rolls, not by members who have already been on the rolls for decades.

You say you don’t care, but here you are, making a whole thread about it. 🙄

Your comments about garments are ill informed. You can still purchase garments even if your recommend has lapsed. Your membership and endowment are verified via computer. Many inactive members continue to wear their garments. I imagine those that have officially left the church, do not. It is not your place to judge them. That says much more about you, than it does about them.

I did a deep dive into this guy a while ago. Original sources. His own videos and posts. I stand by my assessment. You said you were leaving this thread. Apparently, it’s more important to you to lodge personal attacks against posters.

I recommend the book “Amish Grace”. It’s about the forgiveness in the aftermath of the same mass shooting of Amish school girls in Nickel Mines, PA. It’s powerful. There is also a movie with the same title.

Harper Moyski’s celebration of life was held today. She was only 10 years old when she was murdered in the Anunciation mass shooting. Her parents spoke of the light she brought to the world. I see Charlie Kirk being mourned everywhere, but who’s mourning the innocent children?

And to think this is what our school children see and suffer from on a regular basis. No one deserves this.

You are unable to answer a simple question, so you resort to name-calling instead? You apparently like to emulate your hero. 🙄

Nope. Not clicking on a Facebook link. Apparently, you’re unable to explain how being a bigot makes someone “gracious”. Which is to be expected, because it doesn’t.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
