What do you think of the revised "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet? Is vagueness a higher and holier way? And if so, does this principle apply to other commandments? Will kids choose not to get face tattoos, gauges, and nose rings? And do we have any grounds to even say it wrong at all if they do? And how will it further divide the Church? @WardRadioShow @jaredadairbell @Mormonger @GrayM0untain @ldsoperative @ldslaw @CwicShow @LukeFHan @ThoughtfulSaint @TheExMoCringe @UchtdorfDF @ChristoffDTodd @MaximusMoroni @cardonellis

“Love is love.” - Incest “Love is love.” - Adulterers “Love is love.” - Beastiality “Love is love.” -Pedophiles

It does seem that the LDS are being unfairly singled out here. If the essential criterion for Christianity is Trinitarian theology, why do the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Oneness Pentecostals, and even Quakers (in some instances) get a pass here?

So, because the full name of our church was used (which explicitly includes Jesus Christ) and we didn’t need the “Christian” qualifier, we should instead vote for the party of abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, illegal immigration, race-baiting, etc?

If we can shield scrutiny of rebellion to LDS doctrine by merely calling it political opinion; then being LDS starts to mean nothing at all.

Remember, the rainbow flag is not a symbol a celebrating being united in our differences, it’s a symbol of making tenuous Family Identity: The Father Identity. Th Mother Identity. The Son Identity. The Daughter Identity.

Happy Family Month! Repost if you support the Family Proclamation! Let’s #FloodXwithTruth!

Or maybe people just see 1) Non representative data samples 2) His conclusions don’t actually explain even his own data. 3) He completely misdiagnoses the core issue of why most people leave. I would actually be happy if he was correct in his assessment because those are problems that would be much easier to fix.

LGBT supporting members like Jim Bennett want to recreate Mormonism into something it’s not—to justify their politics. The Family Proclamation isn’t primarily a policy statement — it’s a cosmological claim. To understand why two men cannot fulfill its vision, you have to start where it starts: “gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” This isn’t gender as social role. It’s gender as ontological — a property of the spirit that predates the body and persists after death. From this flows everything else. In LDS theology, exaltation is not a static beatific vision but eternal increase — the capacity to organize spirit children, to become as God is. D&C 132 frames this explicitly. The “continuation of the seeds forever and ever” is the substance of celestial glory. The sealing power exists precisely to bind a man and woman so that their generative capacity continues past death. Without that binding, you become a “ministering servant” — glorious, but terminal. The line ends. Procreation isn’t a happy accident of marriage; it’s the telos. “The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife.” The commandment to multiply is given to the dyad — and the dyad is sexed because the multiplying requires it. Eve is not interchangeable with another Adam. The cosmos itself is structured by the union of complementary opposites: male and female, heaven and earth, spirit and element. Two men cannot image this union because they cannot be this union. The metaphysics doesn’t bend to their political sentiment.

President Nelson’s “child of God first” framework rightly subordinates race and intersectional labels—but we’ve misapplied it to avoid confronting gender ideology directly. The fix isn’t less identity. It’s better identity: fatherhood and motherhood are sacred.

Below is a graphic from Elder Gilbert’s conference talk. Is he: 1. Woke—believes in white privilege 2. Unaware—not discerning of bad ideology 3. Placating—virtue signaling to institutions 4. Secretly based—grants woke premises, only to destroy their significance with the gospel

- Transgender individuals: Approximately 0.6% of the U.S. adult population. - Mass shootings by transgender individuals: Approximately 1.3% of major publicized mass shootings. - Overrepresentation factor: Transgender individuals are committing mass shootings at a rate about 2.17 times higher than their population share.

I asked ChatGPT if it was illegal for activists to go into a church, disrupt, protest. “Absolutely” it said, then confidently explained the law. I mentioned the perpetrators were Ice Protesters and Don Lemon. It then hallucinated and projected doubt about the veracity of the law by saying “legal experts disagree” about it. AI is the next CNN, MSNBC, and NYTimes; with a veneer of objectivity. We are sleepwalking into it.

Stranger Things is BASED. They are coming right out and saying it—being molested as a kid can make you gay. The 2001 Tomeo et al. study surveyed adult sexual minorities and found that a substantial proportion reported childhood sexual abuse: 46% of gay men reported male-perpetrated anal penetration.

Biological sex in normally developing humans is fixed and observable; redefining it as fluid while claiming gender dysphoria exists creates a logical contradiction, because dysphoria presumes a real mismatch that no longer exists under such a framework.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the introduction of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” This proclamation continues to teach us today that we are all members of a heavenly family that provides the model for our families on earth.   “The family proclamation teaches about family, marriage and gender and their part in the kingdom of our Father in Heaven. It states, ‘The family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.’ This statement is the crux of the message of the Proclamation. . .”   "Each of us is a “son or daughter of heavenly parents” with earthly opportunities to help build the kingdom of God. He loves us. Every one of us—no exceptions. He knows us. He knows where we will thrive, what experiences in mortality will help us grow in spirituality, and in what circumstances we will bless the lives of others."   — Elder Ronald A. Rasband (@RonaldARasband), the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, BYU Devotional, September 23, 2025
