Hey, I just wanna point something out here.
If you ever find yourself wondering what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is ~really~ doing with all its tithing money, keep in mind…
The President of the Church wears a Timex watch you can get for $29 at Walmart.

No, dude, this is literally the reason taxes and subsidies are a thing.
The state diverts excess profits from elsewhere in order to fund specific activities that may not be profitable in and of themselves, but which contribute to the overall profitability of the larger economy.

If you find that the correct name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is too long or “unwieldy” to say in general conversation, it’s because you’re embarrassedly trying to rush through it.
Say it slower.
Say it deliberately.
Say it with EMPHASIS.
A lot of really good points that

The deep doctrine is not found in the obscure passages, the mysteries, the esoteric, the apocryphal, the gnostic.
It is found in the things that Jesus Christ himself has to keep repeating at us because WE KEEP NOT DOING THEM

The Boomers and Gen X both thought our work-life balance focus was as dumb as Gen Z’s unfamiliarity with old tech.
Whose fault is it that no one taught them how the world works? How are they supposed to know? You teach them at home, or school, or work. So who dropped the ball?

Living in Mexico for six years helped me understand that the American Lifestyle™️ is a) an awesomely massive luxury, and b) totally unnecessary for human happiness.
I'm not sure why so many people have such an intense aversion to lowering their standards.
There's no moral argument against it. It's not a sin. And in many cases, reducing expectations or contenting yourself with less is the simplest way to remove oneself from the "grind"

Met with my bishop the other day to discuss getting me back to the temple ASAP.
In addition to prayer and scripture study habits, his inspired counsel to me was to write a little bit in a journal each day.
I’ve been applying it, and it’s amazing what a difference it makes.
Its getting weird out there. Major energy shift in a not healthy direction.

A lot of Saints in the replies are saying Jesus’s wine was more like grape juice.
I don’t know where that notion comes from. The text says “wine.” It was wine.
The reason for directing modern abstention from alcohol was given in the same revelation, and it has precedents.
Question to Mormons: Did Christ turn water into grape juice or wine? What is the reason for abstaining from alcohol? I understand abstaining from over indulgence, but not in totality. I'm not baiting, im genuinely curious.

There are still men and women of conviction in our time.
This church took 632 years to build — what inspired it?
Heinrich Heine explained: "Men in those days had convictions; we moderns have opinions. And it needs more than opinions to build a Gothic cathedral."
And it was built to keep something extraordinary inside... (thread) 🧵
