So it was all my fault that I expected the prophet to lead us away from a poisonous jab created by evil and conspiring men. To me this sounds a lot like the excuses Julie Rowe and Chad Daybell used when we would call them out on their false prophesies. If we can’t expect the prophet to lead us away from evil, what can we expect him to do?
Another example of the church trying to cover it's tracks. OOPS!! more members are against the Jab than we thought. We better send a PR guy out here to try and fool the sheep with smooth words. That will fix this mess we have gotten ourselves into. LOL
my problem is they used a lackey to try to correct there error, they should be man enough to correct there own. sad day for the church, the division in the church is pretty wide
Iraq, so now your modus operandi is to troll members of the church, spew out hatred against the bretheren and speak apostasy? Each of us can use our influence to help bring people to Christ or take them away. Honestly, you sound and are behaving much like Korihor whether you think so or not. I suggest you see your Stake President and have him read your blog. After all, you are willing to say anthing and hide anonymously behind a blog. Be brave and see your Stake President and lay it all out. I hope he can help you see what you might not see. It is obvious to those that have followed your blog for so long, and I really hope you can get through this faith crisis. I'd hoped that your recent experience would've made you lean more toward God, his church, and supporting and sustaining those whom he has called. Instead, you seem to continue on your war path. You are welcome to have your own beliefs and live your life as you please but when you are preaching the way you are I feel for your soul. I suggest you read the story of Korihor again.
The shaft was effective in lowering hospitalizations until omicron. It wasn’t effective in preventing infection or transmission. It isn’t safe. Or let’s define “safe.” The risk/benefit ratio is favourable —for the most part — for age 65 or 75 and older. Then as you get to young adults and children, the risk/benefit ratio is terrible.
In a way, this is a blessing, cause if you thought you could trust the media before, hopefully you have now learned how to detect irresponsible and lazy reporting, and/or a captured and corrupted industry—media and journalism.
So why go easy on the prophet then, if you go hard on the media?
First, the prophet was a broken record for three years about obtaining and improving our ability to receive personal revelation. In perspective to urging us to take the vaccine, the counsel to follow the Spirit was far greater. Notice, some appear to have been just fine in taking the vaccine. The key was to hearken to the prophet in that you hearken to the Spirit. The key was to trust in Christ, which our prophet emphasized over and over and our scriptures emphasize over and over. One size does not fit all—so we need personal revelation. Scriptures tell us this. The prophet tells us this and other things.
Second, “Look at me. I got vaccinated. I am following the prophet.” That is more about peer pressure within the social circles of the church than following the prophet? Why? Did you ever go back and relisten to President Nelson’s Conference talks? If not, why not? Was it not socially popular to do so? Did you ask to find your gifts of the spirit like he asked? Did you read certain chapters he asked you to read? He asked the men and women to do different things. Did you do those? If not, why not? Cause that wasn’t the social trend in church circles? It wasn’t the popular thing to do? It wasn’t visible or convenient? So you claimed to follow the prophet on one point, when you were not in others, and felt superior? Some who don’t get the shot also have a superiority complex as well. The point is your obedience for a lot could likely have been because of peer-pressure and wanting to belong and fit in, unless you prayed about it.
And about that peer pressure, my non-Mormon friends in high school were more respectful of my desire not to drink, than my member neighbors and associates from church were respectful of my desire not to be shafted with the Covvine. The pressure — far greater from far larger number of people who failed to respect my beliefs and my answer to a prayer. So much so, the pressure (shifting from horizontal to more vertical) that I began doubting my promptings. The Lord was very patient, though, with me as he gave me a very distinct sign, that I did not ask for.
World agencies are using churches to do their bidding.
So who did the most hounding to you, if your personal revelation was different than somebody else’s?
Was it the middle manager leaders? Was it your friends or family or relatives? Was it your “click” be it church, school, work, social circles? Was it your government and schools, and universities?
I don’t think it was President Nelson.
If anything, he has taught us a valuable lesson. Maybe we will be wiser now, when it comes to a future even worse thing that the Gadiantons force upon society and churches or ask us to do. If we didn’t understand the importance of preparing ourselves to be worthy of the Spirit, seeking it, and following it (despite intense pressure — horizontal and vertical), then perhaps we understand now.
https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/latter-day-saints-get-wrong-about-living-prophets then you have articles like this put out recently. i feel for people who blindly follow anything especially today when truth couldn't be more illusive, follow the spirit or you will lose your spirituality, as the prophet has said. prophets are fallible as the newsroom article states, they are men. i think it was a great test for gods people
Some Latter-day Saints come to expect prophets to act like these models. “Then, if prophets speak too clearly in favor of vaccination, or if they fail to stand with or against the internet’s outrage of the day, or if they offer kindness instead of criticism of refugees, some turn away in rage like Naaman,” Erekson said.
