Why all doom and gloom

[dannigirl79]

I just have a question why is it all of a sudden well I guess it's not really all of a sudden because for as long as I have ever been on this planet it's always been Jesus is coming back but lately it has been more of that and more Doom and gloom about how the world is coming to an end and how we can need to prepare and how you know with the upcoming election you know we're all going to die and so be it hallelujah please God come back because enough is enough you know I just know for a fact that we're about to elect a woman who believes in abortion any woman who believes in abortion is an abomination however I have no control over this matter and most people don't realize that we don't really have control of the matter what's going to happen it's going to happen and so be it but my question is with FamilySearch we're putting these people through the temple that is not really being watched on family search as far as maintaining a level of some kind of regulatory I don't know what you would want to call it but I have noticed that there's more and more people who are just randomly adding things or no sources just names I've seen more and more of the miss so and so or mr so and so and they're not real people. Or the allowance of going out of order on ordinances I don't understand that you shouldn't put in half of the work and be able to do the sealing. I know that I am not in charge and I know that I have no say in the matter and what happens happens but why is it that people want to skimp on the work. It should be something that you go to the temple and you grow closer to your heavenly father and you grow closer to your ancestry because you put in the work to learn about them and where they came from and who they were because they've done all the work to go through the things that they went through in life to make your life easier because they went through trauma to learn how to make the things that you have around you to make your life better and yet that's that's not even looked at anymore and people are going to the temple blindly and I know I'm sounding like I'm a judgmental pig but I'm not I just am trying to comprehend you know why aren't we not being more unitified in this whole deal when I go to the temple I see more and more people who are just total jerks and and it's not the way it should be we should be unified and working together as a whole to get the work done and we're not. I had a lady complain because I was discussing with another patron the year of birth of the person's work I was doing what business was a hers and all I wanted to do was walk up to the lady and give her a hug I don't understand why. And I have been either blessed or curse with an extra gift that I didn't ask for I didn't ask to be able to see the Dead and yet I have been judged and and just straight treated with the most unkindness ever and I don't understand that if you can talk to somebody who can verify to what you're doing is the truth and the light why would you be rude to that person if they can testify to you that this gospel is the one and only true thing that you have in your life and that they can tell you with an adulterated certainty that this is the truth why would you be rude to it and why would you just be so unkind enough judgmental to that person I don't comprehend that at all I can tell you right now without a shadow of a doubt that this is the one true church and I have proven time and time again that I'm not lying I'm not a psychic and I'm not a medium and I won't relay messages of the Dead to the living because the fact of the matter is that's altering that your god-given right to choose for yourself the way you want to go but yet people have treated me with such unkindness rudeness judgmental and I'm a convert I don't get it and I hear more and more about how this is the end of days and I will do well this has been the end of days for forever and so be it hallelujah we can go home to our heavenly father thank God but there's something beyond this life because I've seen it and I don't comprehend it at all why it turns so negative and even the prophet some of the stuff that he's told us has been so negative lately and it doesn't need to be so and going to the temple should be a happy glorious thing where we work together to help our ancestors who may or may not have ever known about Jesus I don't I don't know I'm not on my soapbox and I'm not being judgmental and I'm not acting I'm kindly I just don't get it I don't know where to begin to tell you that in the last 3 years 14,000 of my ancestors have been able to have their ordinances completed with the help of the youth in my ward and from kindness Small acts of kindness of those around me to help me I don't know may brighter days happen and may brighter words be spoken

Kind of difficult to read what you're writing here.  Perhaps some well placed paragraphs could help.

There have always been people who were very careful and others who weren't.   Some of it is training (or the fact that there is no formal training as you get on to sites).   Other is hubris.   Or laziness.

Welcome to the board! I would agree that you’ll get more participation if you include separate sentences.  If you’re doing voice to text, just say “period” after each sentence.  (  If you want more replies, anyway.)

I think COVID invited excessive online activity which led to lots of contention, as it tends to do.  Thus, doom and gloom.  My opinion.

Paragraphs help greatly too. If just for reading breaking up text every few sentences is very helpful.

Thank you for being in the temple, for your concern and work for those who have passed on, and for trying to not be judgmental.

Godspeed.
