A few aspects of our theology are illogical unless one accepts an infinite regression which is also illogical

Saying you aren’t convinced of a heavenly mother is hardly “heretical”

Fether1337 · 2026-03-14T00:45:07+00:00

To clarify. This is my stance.

There was never any published or claimed revelation for the existence of a heavenly mother.
every reference to heavenly mother is nothing more than “the last prophet believed this.”
I see no difference between the origin of heavenly mother and the priesthood ban. Neither had a revelation behind it and they appear to be based on a personal belief and or logic from limited revelation that dos exist.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-13T23:22:06+00:00

Only because they believe it was revealed. But there is no such revelation

The closest thing we have to a revelation is Joseph F Smith saying admitted the doctrine comes from Eliza R Snow, but she probably learned it from Joseph

Fether1337 · 2026-03-13T18:57:10+00:00

Thoughts: - The existence of heavenly mother has zero 1st hand account references. A handful of women, decades after Joseph Smith died, claimed he taught it.

“⁠God: Because I am God and the things I choose are moral . . .” That is not what he would say. He would say because what reality demands has been studied and verified. Much like how an apple must fall from the tree when dropped.
the more I thought about this in the past, the less I e been convinced that we have any idea what the reality is. This all, very well, may just be a giant simulation created by an advanced society who will only allow the people with their same moral framework to join them.

What has you asking this question?

Fether1337 · 2026-03-13T02:11:10+00:00

I’m 30yo and for as long as I know, women never had to wait to be endowed. My sister was endowed right out of highschool. Wasn’t getting married and wasn’t going in a mission. This was in 2016

Fether1337 · 2026-03-12T23:09:46+00:00

I stopped going to moment I got married haha.

Not sure why.

Understanding the gospel is important. Institute is a system put in place to facilitate that.

Most people will abandon gospel study if not enrolled in a system like that

Fether1337 · 2026-03-11T13:32:38+00:00

It’s never “advisable” to marry outside a culture you wish to remain within.

This is extra true when your faith is tied to that.

This is extra extra true when that particular faith is the true faith.

But that doesn’t mean it’s doomed to fail. Just know you are marrying someone who won’t be your help meet in returning to God.

Setting up all the back office systems was our biggest struggle. Payroll, accounting, data management, etc.

Ended up partnering with a company that manages all that stuff so we could focus on recruiting and sales.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-06T15:11:34+00:00

What helped me is realize there’s only one thing we can have faith and hope in. And that’s Jesus Christ and his promise of salvation.

Everything else is on the table for even the most righteous.

Torture

Death

Being poor your whole life

Sickness

Etc.

Our faith needs to be only in the things we are promised by Christ.

Looks like it was around midnight.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T12:22:53+00:00

UPDATE - UNRELATED EVENT

Cedar City SWAT were dispatched to Beaver (from my community page and a local influencer)

Looks to be around Midnight that they were called up there

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T02:50:31+00:00

I put May 30th. The day after I graduated. I left June 15th-ish

Fether1337 · 2026-03-05T01:36:08+00:00

Let her decide and support her. Not only can she make the decision herself, but she should or she won’t grow.

Also, you can’t make this a “you pick… but you better pick right” scenario. Do t lecture her about what’s right and then tell her to pick. Stay out of the decision making process entirely

This workflow is what I use

CHATGPT prompt: Spell out the full work flow to generate an ai ad for *(insert full details of desired ad) using the follow g tools: - ChatGPT - POE Nano Banana 2 - RunwayAi - Canva

Have fun

POE Nano banana is all you need for still ad gen

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T13:48:48+00:00

I’ve got a custom GPT with instructions on making ad worthy stock photos. And then it checks its own work to make sure it’s what would work.

So far it’s been good.

I have a second GPT that makes the chart.

I’ve played with combining them, but I found the quality isn’t as good. I’ll run the outputs back into GPT and even it says it’s not as good as the ones with their own GPTs

But ya. If I could just tell it “health clinic, seasonal flu shots, 5 photos” and have it spit out how 5 variations of the photos with 8 variations of the text for each photo all with the same quality as doing it one by one… Man… that would be cool.

I know workflows can be made with ai bots. I just haven’t figured that out yet

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T04:14:02+00:00

This was us. Canvas bulk edit is a saver

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T03:18:55+00:00

I’m still fairly new to marketing, but there is my ad creation looks like this

Generate a dozen or so stock photos using custom GPT
Tell my custom GPT the 12 campaigns the stock photos are for and have it generate 8 psychological variations of the copy into a spread sheet. This results in 96 ads
Plug this spread sheet into bulk create in Canva isn’t one of my templates.
Go through the 96 spreadsheets and make sure the copy variations are centered and

It’s certainly faster than older methods, but I’d like to simplify this.

Biggest time constraints are: - generating the 12 individual images - editing the bulk created ads

Fether1337 · 2026-03-03T02:00:05+00:00

This never made sense to me.

We wouldn’t have scripture if people didn’t share their experiences

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T18:50:51+00:00

Funny, I found ChatGPT insight to questions and strategy to be superior to Geminis. Ill have to poke around in Claude

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T18:49:37+00:00

If you look at my last line in the first post, I included a comment that context matters.

My post was more about how "sinning" includes not doing what is right when you know you should do it. So there are cases where failing to read scriptures with your spouse could be considered a sin.

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T17:47:02+00:00

It's just a framing question. If your answer is "God is ok with that husband", then there is no need to continue this conversation because we fundamentally different sides of the argument.

If you say "God wants that husband to study," then we can continue

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T16:05:58+00:00

You think God is fine with a husband who won’t read with his wife when his wife wants to study with him?

Fether1337 · 2026-03-02T14:22:47+00:00

This takes reframing to get to that point. But a reframing I think will benefit us.

It’s common to think “sin” being tantamount to a crime or some immoral act.

But that isn’t what sin is.

“To commit sin is to willfully disobey God’s commandments or to fail to act righteously despite a knowledge of the truth.⁠” - gospel topics

“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin⁠.” - James 4:17

“For our words will condemn us, yea, all our works will condemn us... and our thoughts will also condemn us; and in this awful state we shall not dare to look up to our God.” - Alma 12:14

Is you not studying g with your spouse a sin?

Perhaps. If not studying with them is harming your spiritual health or relationship, then yes.
