novaTopFlexHype for the Future 133LDS: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Introduction Though Joseph Smith was originally born within the boundaries of the State of Vermont, his experiences within the upper New York region had resulted in the eventual formation of the LDS Church, thus forming the modern-day concept of Mormonism. After New York, the historic sites associated with Joseph Smith had pushed increasingly westward, from a site in Harmony (now known as Oakland), Pennsylvania, west to sites in Kirtland, Ohio, followed by Nauvoo, Illinois. After being […]
John Griogair Bell“He aspired not only to spiritual leadership but also to political power. Rather than earn the devotion of his followers, Strang demanded that his councilors take a comprehensive oath of fealty during a private ceremony, replete with the theatrics of secret handshakes and gestures.”

Liam O'Mara IV, PhDOn #ThisDayInHistory in 1805, #JosephSmith was born in VT. Founder of the #LatterDaySaints movement & #LDS Church, Smith is a controversial figure, known for dictatorial politics & #polygyny. Distinctive #Mormon cosmology & theology make it a curious splinter from #Christianity.
wednesday the valkyrjai shouldn't start fights with protestants online but...
the author of revelation had very little idea of what would be in the christian bible.
he cannot be talking about adding or taking away from the bible.
he's talking specifically about the book of revelation. revelation 22:18-19 can't be referring to the #christian bible which did not exist yet.
not to be #mormon on main, but #LatterDaySaints are correct about this. i'm standing ten toes down.
i honestly avoid some ex-mormon content too. they have every right to tell their story in their words. but sometimes they treat things i believe as inherently stupid and say things like "why would anyone (or worse, "a Black person") ever believe this?" they are always white. who are you, again?
#CommunityofChrist history with race is different, better imho, but it isn't great in regards to the treatment of Black saints. Early #Black #LatterDaySaints are awesome & their storys should be told!

Jonathan EmmesediToday I learned of Jared Birchall, a devout Mormon who runs Musk's "family office". His duties include bullying women into accepting the NDAs of his free speech absolutist boss.
I wonder if it has been revealed to the LDS that polygamy is once gain permissible, as long as one is a billionaire.
