When I first came to Christ I was going to a non LDS Christian church. But I really struggled with the Trinity thing and they were brutal about it. "I wasn't a real Christian if I denied the Trinity." The more I studied doctrines the more I was drawn to the LDS Church. And I (1)
I received my Patriarchal Blessing just over a month ago. I've been waiting for it to come in the mail so I can read it again because I don't remember everything that was said. It was a lot to take in all at once. I received a text today that it's in the mail finally! 🙌😁
Hi. I'm the "clueless, bored housewife" Kwaku and Cardon rant about throughout this video. I'm also the one who shared the comments they address. (Clearly I rattled Kwaku).
I would like to address a few points from this video.
1. Kwaku can try all the wants to reframe his
I'm so proud of my husband! And excited for our family! We've been a one car family for 6 years. Which meant that the kids and I were always stuck at home during the day until he got home from work.
But he just got a raise that includes a work truck and gas card! Which means
I would like to apologize to everyone for contributing to filling your TL with drama. I would like to leave it with this...
There is absolutely nothing good that can be found within New Age spirituality beliefs or practices that can't be found in the Restored Gospel. And a lot
The book of Revelation uses a chiastic structure. Unless someone is aware of this it is highly likely whatever they deduce from the text is incorrect. Not only Rev, but many other verses, passages, chapters, are written in the same manner.
A chiasmus involves presenting a
🤣 Kwaku screenshots my post, and challenges me to a "debate", all while he still has me blocked. If you were still wondering how childish and cowardly he is. I only saw this because of other people. 🤦 He sure tries to act tough though doesn't he.
I went to the temple for the first time yesterday and did baptisms for the dead. I loved every moment of it and I can't wait to go back and do it again. I'm not a 12 year old child, but none of the youth that came with the ward group were traumatized. 🤣 It was an honor.
This kind of crap was a big reason why I resisted coming back to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Stop telling people they "didn't follow the prophet" if they didn't get the vaccine. It's not true, it's divisive, and it's not helpful to the church in any way.
I just got my first calling! I got called to help with activity days for the girls. No idea if I will be any good at that honestly but I accepted anyway. 🤣
Also, to call me a bored suburban anything is quite hilarious. There was a time when I identified as a bi and poly energy healer, tarot card reader, and witch, who smoked a lot of weed and thought doing mushrooms was fun, a time when we lived in a school bus we converted to an RV
Had such a good day in church today. Finally got to have a meeting with the bishop. He seems wonderful. Our records were announced in Sacrament meeting, & I took the Sacrament for the first time since being back - which meant a great deal to me. & I had 2 realizations in class./1
Our stake is starting up a softball league. I've been waiting for this because my non-member husband loves baseball!
He was playing in an adult softball league that he had to quit when I started going to church, because it was Sunday mornings and we only have one car. He was
Prayers please? I'm getting my Patriarchal Blessing on Sunday. My Patriarch called and told me to do whatever the Holy Spirit guides me to do in terms of preparing (praying extra, fasting, reading extra scriptures more, etc.) He also said it would be a good idea to put our (1/2)
I'm so grateful for my ward. My (non member) husband went to a men's activity tonight & had such a great time. He also came to church last Sun. because he was invited for an EQ meal. I struggle to imagine him ever finding faith, but at least for now he feels incredibly welcomed.
A man from my ward stopped by tonight and told my husband he's speaking in church on Sunday and asked if he would come. My husband said yes with a smile. When he left, my husband said "he asked me to come, I'm not going to say no!"
Take this for whatever it's worth to you. ❤️
My (non member) husband is amazing. I always say a prayer before dinner at night. He won't let the kids start eating until I do because he supports me. Tonight I was gone for dinner, & he had my daughter say the prayer before they ate. He supported me even when I wasn't there. ❤️

This week will be mine and my kids 3rd week back to church! We did FHE on Mon and read the CFM chapters together. The missionaries came on Tuesday for their first weekly visit/lesson. The kids went to the Wednesday activity last night and had a blast! and a sweet Sister from (1)
My husband & kids & I were all in the kitchen together & my son goes "I just realized it's been a really long time since you guys fought. I think since you started going to church Mom." We used to fight really bad all the time. Mostly because I was miserable inside & misery (1/3)
This is a very exciting month for me and my family. This weekend is General Conference! (yay!) Next weekend two of my kids are getting baptized. 🙌 And April 28th I will receive my Patriarchal Blessing! 🤗
@BlackBlessedLDS
No thoughts, I'd love to see what others say. But I happily paid tithing for the first time this month! It was a very small amount because I can only pay on my own personal income vs our main income (husband's) since he's not a member & wouldn't love that. But I did what I could!
"This kind of thing makes women in abusive marriages feel like they need to stay!"

My family could really use your prayers. Water started leaking out from between the floor and the shower in both our bathrooms, as well as between the bathroom floor and the carpet in the hallway. The carpet was soaked. We pulled stuff out of the hallway closet to see, and it's
Let's examine your behavior through all of this shall we?
When this first started, I commented on your New Age videos sharing my experience and warnings and disagreeing with your naive takes. You would reply absolutely crazy stuff to my comments, and then DELETE your reply
Why are the accusers and bullies always afraid to debate the actual topic?

@jonathanaplumb
Baptism isn't the issue. Being allowed in relief society is. Forcing the female members to affirm mental illness and lie while in church is cruel. And the female membership thing is a lie as well.
@LukeFHan
Thanks Luke. You, Brad and Jonah are why I keep coming back to the show. And Jacob! I really respect you guys a lot and love hearing from you. It's just a shame that the show is brought down to this level because of one man's ego.
NOTHING has ever changed my HEART and my LIFE like 👇

If Jesus can change (save) me, He can change (save) you.
First: even some who had already tasted the fruit and knew the truth of it lost their way when they focused on the mocking and became ashamed. As powerful as Truth is, our focus is vital. If you allow your focus to shift from the tree/fruit to the outside world you're choosing /2
(2/2) names on temple prayer rolls so people can be praying for both of us. I thought I'd also post here! If anyone is taking prayer requests, I'd be grateful if you could pray for us! I know it's hard without names. But Heavenly Father will know who you're talking about lol! 🙏
@EricCMeadows
Agreed! Return stories are amazing! I'm honestly so grateful Jesus saved me from myself and led me back to Heavenly Father and the Restored Church.
Motherhood saved my life... and my SOUL.
Being a mother is the only thing that, at certain times in my life, kept me tethered to my goodness...
to my humanity...
to God.
When I became pregnant with my first child I didn't think I believed in God. But the experience of giving
I've been fasting from social media, but I'm hopping on here real quick to say that today is the day!!! I'm getting my Patriarchal Blessing this morning. If you happen to see this in the next 30/45 minutes please say a prayer for me and the patriarch!!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Do you read the BoM everyday? My kids & I have been doing our weekly reading all at once every Monday. But I've seen a lot of posts about the benefits of reading everyday. That seems like a harder routine to get used to but not impossible. Who does what? Thoughts on both/either?
Grab their hand and bring them in. But never ever stray from the path, let go of the rod or leave the Truth found at the tree thinking you'll be able to save someone by doing so. Never compromise your faith or the truth of the gospel and plan of salvation. Remain in Truth. 6/6

As Latter-day Saints, we do NOT believe life begins at conception.
This means we do not have to sign up for Republican insanity on this issue.
We can support IVF. We can support birth control pills. We can support abortion exceptions for rape and the health of the mother.
Oh I forgot another great thing about church today! The music! The first two hymns we sang were "The Iron Rod" and "As Now We Take the Sacrament". Both bangers. The 2nd felt especially meaningful to me since it was my first day taking the Sacrament. So perfect.
to allow how the world makes you feel to be stronger than how the Truth makes you feel. You can't serve 2 masters. No matter how many times you've tasted the fruit, your focus & choices remain vital. You can't feel the Truth if you're focused on how the world wants you to feel./3
It's so embarrassing honestly. Women.. grow up. I'm begging you. Stop being so selfish and getting butthurt anytime someone says the very true statement that motherhood is our most important job and should be prioritized. Getting upset over that says a LOT about YOU.
Why are you all surprised about the backlash from this? Do none of you know why the brethren are hardly this Frank with women? Even in the 80’s women were upset by this talk. Why do you think they are so hard on men but never give women the same real truths???
aren't living in a toxic environment anymore & that they can see & feel the difference. And it makes me so happy that my son was able to realize that Christ & going to church is where/why the change happened. They finally have the family/home life they deserved all along. (3/3)
Are we recommending having babies?? Because if so 10/10 would recommend. This was my last baby. Both my boys were born at home unassisted. Both times I labored on my own and woke my husband up in time to take pictures as the baby came out lol.
10/10 would recommend. This was my last baby. Here we are reunited after a week apart. I had been in quarantine in the ICU recovering from strep and he was in the NICU. I was still so weak and delirious I didn't try to get to him. But my nurse made sure it happened & I love her
I will never understand why there are so many believers today who downplay or doubt the existence of demonic possession when Christ spent so much time casting out demons during his earthly mission.

The Mormon Battalion event at Old Town was amazing! We had so much fun and did so many things. I was a little surprised there was no stick pulling though. 😜
I'm just a woman... checking the LDS temples webpage everyday... hoping to get a surprise announcement that the San Diego Temple is scheduled to open again. 😭 (I know it'll likely be years, doesn't stop me from checking. The hope won't die guys.)
@BlackBlessedLDS
It was this video. And there was a follow up as well. Kwaku talks about A Course in Miracles among other things and I shared comments about my experiences in the new age and how dangerous most of the teachings can be. I said the RESTORED GOSPEL will change the world. He didn't
misery loves company. I was extremely toxic & I made our relationship (as well as our home) extremely toxic. In March it'll be a year since I came to Christ & our lives changed. My marriage & our home life have never been better. It makes me so happy that my kids aren't (2/3)
I can relate so much to this guy. There is peace and happiness in Christ. You can see the difference, he seemed so empty before. After he returned, you can tell by his eyes and smile that the spirit was with him. I’ve had this same experience.

couldn't get away from Christians that declared the only right way to be a Christian was to believe in the creeds. My response was always "I'm a follower of Christ not Christianity." I have no desire to prove to anyone I'm part of the Christian club based on their definition. (2)
I'm a woman, so I'm allowed to say this. (Men can say it too I'm just joking). But women are so annoying sometimes. I really wish the brethren wouldn't walk on egg shells for ANYONE. They need to adopt an "if you act like a child I'll talk to you like one" mentality.
@sunfwrpwr
Not surprised. Even back in the 80’s Pres Benson had a talk with the same message and the women went wild angry about it which is why the brethren are so careful how they give talks to women ever since.
This is me! Thank you to

for doing what you do! Oh and The Stick of Joseph channel, don't know if they're on here but their videos with David and Mike especially have been 🔥 lately!!!
I used to be extremely psychologically abusive to my husband (long before coming to Christ). I made our lives & our home a toxic & miserable place. We eventually (emotionally) separated for 3 years. Then Christ saved me from myself and delivered me from my spiritual infection.
Women are as capable of psychological damage as men are of physical.
And most women don’t realize that men would rather be punched in the face than psychologically devastated by the women in their lives.
WOW. Went to my first Stake Conference tonight (the adult session). That was so needed. Can't wait for the general session tomorrow with my daughter. My boys are staying home though. 1 hour sacrament meetings are still hard for them, we need to work them up to 2 hour meetings. 🤣
I would love prayers for my daughter from anyone that is willing to offer them. I've been teaching her about baptism and she's very apprehensive. I don't want to push her into it because I want her to understand what it means and choose it for herself. (1/2)
@TruthHolder2023
I will! The missionaries and I have been talking to my 2 oldest about baptism, and we were blessed enough to get to go watch one last night. My son decided he's ready. So double win for him! My daughter is still apprehensive so prayers for her would be greatly appreciated!!

So back during the whole "are cross necklaces ok or not" drama someone shared a pic of an empty tomb necklace & I actually thought it was really cool! So I tracked it down on Etsy & bought one for an Easter gift for myself (basically my 1 yr anniversary since coming to Christ!)

Today was absolutely amazing. 2 of my children were baptized and it was so beautiful. I'm beyond blessed to be in the ward I'm in. They showered us with love and made my kids feel so supported and celebrated. I don't know how I got so lucky. I love my ward. I love this church.
TODAY'S THE DAY!
2 of my children are getting baptized today. 🙏 Please pray for them, that they'll feel the spirit with them all day and especially during their baptism and confirmation, that today will be so special and so memorable for them.
@KTMartin25
Very sad. It's interesting how so many people leave and then somehow forget our doctrine and claim we think they're going to hell. That's not how it works. We don't believe in hell the same way most Christianity does. It just makes them look ridiculous and so very dramatic.
I recently bought my daughter (11) a book light because she likes reading a few chapters before going to sleep. Last night at about 11pm I heard noises coming from her room so I went to check. Both my boys (7&9) were huddled around her with their books sharing her light.
I've only seen The Other Side of Heaven, but I loved it even though everyone says it's so cheesy. Are the others worth a watch?? Also I think Charly is a strong contender among LDS movies!!! I love it, even though it HURTS.
I need everyone to pray that it rains where I am on Saturday lol. Both my boys have baseball games & while I feel really bad about hoping they get cancelled.. I'm hoping they get cancelled. 🤣 I just want to watch Conference live. Is that so much to ask?? 😫🤣 Am I being selfish?
I was told at church on Sunday that "ministering" has replaced visiting teaching or whatever it used to be called. What is ministering and how is it different?
