So you obviously objected to DJT's caricature of the Obama's portrayed as monkey's then? among a slew of other "horribly embarrassing" racism coming out of the White House

I was under the impression that OSF already had a disclaimer. This is a kind of odd lawsuit though, the Church is saying it's a "victory for satan" if we use the term "Mormon" but anyone else can't use it either? They don't want a victory for Satan but they don't want Satan to lose in court?

keep in mind too that conservative nutjob Andrew Sullivan has AIDS

you keep invalidating your own argument and what a waste of time to talk to you, I honestly don't think your reading comprehension skills are lacking Get your own witness if you ask for but won't believe others' witness of Christ

Christ can manifest himself anyway that he wants and people can see things in dreams, you don't get to choose how and when Christ manifests himself to people, you can't be that arrogant or are you?

I did read the quote, I provided the quote and you are the reason why more prophets don't share their witness, you keep moving the goalposts and won't believe their witness anyways, so you are to blame for it and like I said if you don't like the way, or the place something is shared get your own witness and stop demanding people fit into your paradigm I fully believe Pres. Kimball et all saw Christ and if you don't believe then what do I or Pres. Kimball care?

if you bother to read my post then you would have seen this part, "Telling the world at General Conference, " I have seen him" how much more open and public can you get? Work out your own problems but don't project them onto Prophets besides the also very public accounts of Melvin J. Ballard, David B. Haight, Orson F. Whitney and a string of others

read this, about Pres. Kimball sharing his witness of Christ besides it literally doesn't matter where someone shares something and it certainly doesn't invalidate it any "Then several years later, in the April 1978 General Conference, President Kimball again adopted the words of another to express his own similar special witness: “ ‘I know that God lives. I know that Jesus Christ lives,’ said John Taylor [George Q. Cannon], my predecessor, ‘for I have seen him.’ I bear this testimony to you brethren in the name of Jesus Christ.”[28] (The use of President Taylor’s name was an error, with President Kimball actually meaning President George Q. Cannon, as he had in the earlier address.) These testimonies support the account of the sister missionary quoted above." http://www.truthwillprevail.xyz/2021/07/president-spencer-w-kimballs-special.html Telling the world at General Conference, " I have seen him" how much more open and public can you get?

no, he did mention quite a few times, in his journal and in a conference session in the late 70's- I had assumed you already knew that though what difference where someone says it? it doesn't invalidate the experience I'm waiting to hear about your vision of Christ

your two statements don't make any sense "only" Joseph F. Smith claimed to have seen Jesus, but how can you say that when you also said that you want me to find these other people's statements, as if you know what they are in order to make your first statement that "only" Joseph F. Smith said he saw Christ-which is in Section 138 by the way. Just because someone lied once doesn't mean we throw absolutely everything they ever said out, that is so balck and white thinking. I'll give you one, from Pres. Kimball. This is from the Grandson of a lady who heard served a mission in 1947 when he related the following “She told me that because of the caliber of missionaries he was addressing, Elder Kimball felt at liberty to speak more freely than the Brethren generally do about the sacred and solemn interviews involved in calling an apostle and qualifying him to stand as a special witness of the Lord Jesus Christ in all the earth. He told them a story familiar to many of us—of the anxiety and the inadequacy he felt; of the nagging doubt that he had been called, not by revelation, but because he was the grandson of President Heber C. Kimball; and of his flight to the mountains, amid fasting and prayer, to seek a witness from the Lord that the call had come from Him and not from man….: “This [apostle] revealed an additional and dramatic detail about how that witness came. President Kimball . . . saw the Lord Jesus and heard from the mouth of the Savior Himself the soul-cheering affirmation, ‘I have called you to be my witness to the world. Doubt not, but be of good cheer.’” Sister Evelyn Larsen, Central States Mission, June 1947" If you refuse to believe anyone's personal witness then why don't you get your own vision of Christ?

Besides the quotations already given to you, as far as prophets are concerned, Joseph F. Smith, Heber J. Grant, David O. McKay, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson and a host of other apostles and church leaders have all publicly stated that they have seen Christ.

what do you think about apostles and prophets who said they have seen him? How would you know they are lying?
