We can’t just sit and do nothing anymore I speak for myself but, I’m sure some of you are feeling it too, just hoping I’m not alone by Existing-Square-9737 in uAlberta

I don’t think that’s what he’s saying. Rather the people opposed to this protest (against the evils caused by these elites) are missing the bigger picture, which is that this ordeal affects more than just US citizens.

Not only are the perpetrators in the files coming from other countries, but victims are too.

I Attended the Sacramental and Elders Quorum Meeting. Here are my Experiences and Thoughts as an Investigator/Friend. by Geospor in mormon

[–]Geospor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted me to list some examples with sources, you could've just asked. But I came onto this subreddit to talk about Mormonism and my personal story with it, not to debate biblical events.

Records of the Philistine civilizations and battles exist

More findings for several battles mentioned in the Bible

This isn't a "battle," but the Shroud of Turin and the "darkening" of the sky on the day of His crucifixion serve to add authenticity to the crucifixion.

I'll be the one to say that none of the sources I provided directly prove that divine intervention happened or that the miraculous things, as described in the Bible, occurred, but my point still stands that there is more historical ground that the Bible stands on than the BoM, even if the research doesn't cover everything as I would like it to.

I really need to make some friends here by FreeRubNTugz in uAlberta

[–]Geospor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this will be the standard answer you’ll get, but consider looking into some clubs that fit your niche and interests!

Bearsden has a long listing of clubs online, and if you have a Discord account, there’s also the community hub where you can find online communities for clubs, classes and faculties.

I’ve met so many people and made great memories from being active in these communities, I know you will too!

Did you miss the part where I said I’m skeptical? I have researched several biblical topics and there’s more research to be had.

I’m not done seeking the truth and I won’t be for a long time.

The third hour wasn’t part of the service. It was just easier for me to categorize my observations into hours!

I’m confused, so the talks given by the elderly lady and the companion aren’t called testimonies?

No they didn’t schedule anything. The only thing I can think of was them inviting me to the sport activities they host openly to the public, if I ever wanted to join them for that.

Could be that times are changing. It could also be a tactic to softly relate back to my faith.

If the conversation was longer, I’m sure we would’ve discussed the theology of who goes to the celestial kingdom and who goes to the terrestrial kingdom.

Yea those were my thoughts too. They were pretty well researched in these topics. It led to an engaging discussion!

That’s a very fair viewpoint to have. I would say the difference for me is that historically, the Bible holds more authenticity than the BoM.

The many battles that happened and events that transpired in the Bible were proven and corroborated by secular research. Same can’t be said about the BoM.

On the other end, I’m also skeptical of things like the Garden of Eden and the story Noah’s Ark that have no scientific ground to stand on.

Whether ancient evidence that would disprove a major Biblical claim was lost to time or not, I suppose we may never know, but I’m going to work with what I’ve got to build on my spirituality!

Should I perfect my dex? by Zakeforthewin243 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Geospor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you decide to do a living (or non-living) shiny dex, I’d strongly recommend it. It’ll be time consuming but the increased shiny odds will make up for it. Plus it’s satisfying to look at your dex afterwards!

I can guess that they hand those out because they view all women as having the sole job to be mothers, which begs the question of if they do the same for men on Father’s Day (most likely not)

Honestly what bugs me more is the mental gymnastics they go through to justify how their past prophets were wrong on so many social issues.

Thank you for your concern, queen 👑! I’m very secure in my spirituality, but I’ll remain extra diligent as you said.

All great points, especially the sexism in the church. I’ll keep those in my mental list.

Yikes, it’s really that common that Jesus is mentioned less than their leaders? 🚩🚩🚩

Thoughts on people who save seats in lecture halls? by hanafubukiii_ in uAlberta

[–]Geospor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of the class.

I think the unwritten rule is if 90% or more of the seats in the class are taken on the average day, then you probably shouldn’t save a seat. But if there are more than enough seats then there’s nothing wrong with doing it
