I was called to serve in Oklahoma City, OK. I chose to leave my family, my girlfriend, and, well, my life. The first place I lived was in Edmond, but the city was in our area, too, so on my first day "in the field", we biked 24 miles to OKC. Midway through the day, we were cornered by a black gentleman who was clearly on drugs, and he had a knife. He berated us about our temples being spaceships and threatened us multiple times that he wasn't gonna let us leave. I tensed up, ready to throw down if it came to it, but we tried to politely disengage while backing slowly away. We got enough distance, jumped on the bike, and got the crap out of there. Immediate first-day wake-up call.
Most of us endured worse goy babble every day for two years. We’ll be okay!

Funny side story: About two hours later, we're at a curb waiting on a stoplight, and a car drives by with some fat 10-year-old leaning out the window with double birds up and yelled: "F*** you, Mormons!" Needless to say, I said Let's do some work in Edmond for the next few days.

Good hell, I wish my algorithm went back to #BYU athletics, #UtahJazz rumors, and my #SaintsOnX homies. Right now, it's inundated with neckbeard Pastors from Arkansas saying I'm going to hell.

Are #Mormons Christian? An alarming number of ignorant will say no, cause that's what every paid Pastor has told their whole lives. Watch this teaser and then watch the whole talk "The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent" (bit.ly/LDS-Christian) x.com/justin_hart/status/197…

Workshopping something here: death penalty for 80% of crimes. See how much it gets us back to a polite society where we don't act like animals: • Attempted Murder/Murder: ☠️ • Kidnapping: ☠️ • Assault: ☠️ • Child Rape or Molestation: ☠️ • Severe Child Neglect: ☠️ • Major Fraud: ☠️ • Major Property Damage: ☠️ • Home Invasion: ☠️ • One-sided Domestic Abuse: ☠️ • Drug Dealing: ☠️ • Starting or Participating in Riots/Brawls: ☠️ • Instigating or Participating in Voter Fraud: ☠️ • Theft: ☠️ • Illegal Immagration: ☠️ I've lived 42 years and found it easy to have never been tempted by any of the above. I'm tired of waking up to degenerates people in the news getting slaps on the wrist. What would you add/remove?

Muting "Pride", "Gay", "Trans", "Queer", " LGBTQ", "Rainbow", "Homo or Trans Phobic", etc. has immensely blessed my timeline. June is now somewhat bearable.

I cannot tell you how much I miss the NBA of the 80s and 90s.
Spud Webb was really doing all of this at 5'7 😳🔥

Not sure what happened. I used to live for the #Apple events and new announcements. Now I really don’t give a rip. Maybe I’m poor, maybe ingenuity declined, maybe they leaned into things I don’t care about (new colors, Siri, novelty AI, HomePod, Vision Pros). All I know is I miss the excitement.

Still pretty irate nothing came from the Epstein files. Lost so much respect for the Trump presidency by downplaying it, and not listening to his base (frankly America) on what we wanted and expected.

I mean this with all respect… no church in the world has Pastors, Priests, Popes, Apologists, or Clergy that are more impressive in conduct, fruit, or ability to orate than the General Authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—especially the 12 Apostles and First Presidency, which include today’s living Prophet. I’m talking about doctrinal content not (entertainment) just being young, fun, cool, or working a large audience for laughs and cheers.

I have vices but I’m so glad I’m not a gamer.

My personal testimony hangs by a thread but—and has for literal decades! But I still find myself defending it tooth and nail. I logically know it’s all true but have lost the ability to feel. The dissonance is killing me. Anyone relate? #saintsonx

6 months of pain. I got two spinal discs replaced in my neck. It was frustrating, painful, scary, expensive, and a true faith tester. So glad it’s over. Now off to recovery.

This worldwide proclamation to the world (from 1995) should be the banner of what June represents. Nothing else should come close. This came from living Prophets and Apostles. Read it and just see how ahead of the time it was.

This is a Prophet of God. @realDailyWire you would be wise to embrace LDS members as we can be one of the strongest forces on earth to defend the constitution and raise citizens who are aware and actively engaged. You've had multiple cases of ridiculing, mocking, or pushing us away as of late. @michaeljknowles, @benshapiro, @MattWalshBlog, @andrewklavan please watch. The focus is on the the divine inspiration of the Constitution and has very little LDS content. x.com/PeacemakingSt/status/2…
