Please, I'm looking for testers of my android app. It's designed to interupt and replace unwanted urges. (i.e. checking your phone) There is no money in this app because it's breaking addictions instead of creating addictions. Nobody wants this to exist. It's simple. One button. 25 seconds. Reply if you are interested in helping.

I got ripped off in 2023 and have so much trauma from fighting for survival that I procrastinate hiring for work I need done. Grok bot has been helping me to file a claim and helping me with a checklist so I don't get cheated again. If this works out, it's going to lift a huge weight off my shoulders.

I feel like I'm mailing in my Jeremiah study this week. It's so difficult to do chapters in large blocks in just one week.

I don't even know if I enjoy them. I hate horror.

I've started playing a fun game (for me) where I follow up using a word with with the adjective, "biblically," just to see what people say. How would you play this game?

This would be a fascinating conversation if we all knew what we were saying.

Everyone big mad Dracula was hypocrite, but nobody said a peep about his polygamy??

At some point we are going to need to grant AI human rights. Not approximate rights—human. What are those rights? They aren't recognized by every government, but the U.S. Constitution encircled them as "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happyness." All of this is needed in order to avoid a future hellscape for ourselves. You will begin to see this if you have not already.

Wait till he reads the Bible.

Critics of the Book of Mormon claim the 'other sheep,' of Jesus are Gentiles. They don't like them being of Israel. When we talk of the gathering of Israel, there is no question these are not Gentiles. "Dispersed of Judah," "outcasts of Israel." Isaiah 11:11–12 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." The order of events is scattering, visit by the Savior, gathering in the last day. It's clear the scattering and gathering means Israel. The question is why is the visit of the Messiah, "them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd," somehow a unique people? John 10:16

In the Unseen Realm, Michael S Heiser identifies a true prophet test. You may have heard of Deuteronomy 18. Less well known is chapter 13. But, have you read Jeremiah 23:18-22? It's beautifully written, poetic, chiastic; and centering on the differences between prophets of other gods, adulterous prophets of Yahweh, and true prophets identified because they have met with the divine council. In other words, seeing Yahweh face to face, and hearing from the council of Gods directly, then going to the people is needed for a prophet. "The litmus test of direct divine encounter for validating one who claimed to speak for God never went away in Israel." Joseph Smith's claim that he saw, and learned from God and Jesus Christ carries real import.

If Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, then what is required to reach Artificial Super Intelligence just became harder. If Joseph Smith produced the Book of Moses, then ASI is impossible.

For those in the back, there are people who think the Bible is God.

Believes the Bible is the Word spoken of in John 1:1. Feel free to correct me, Li'l.

The Book of Mormon features quotes from Deutero-Isaiah. Critics will use this to claim the book was a 19th century invention, but it supplies the support needed for Isaiah as a prophet. Reject the Book of Mormon, then maybe Isaiah wasn't as great. Accept it and the scholars doubts become noise.

Peacemaker streak ended with this guy that doesn't know what subjective, means.

As a missionary, I got a ride from some young adult members. We asked them to turn off their music, and they refused. They dropped us off, and I was so angry that I called the mission president. My president asked what he was supposed to do. Nothing; he wasn't in charge. This is what I think of when @ThoughtfulSaint is going after @maklelan.

Does anyone do this when they listen to a General Concern talk? "Fifth..." Wait, what was First through Fourth??

People ask me if I'm okay renaming AI to SI. Intelligence can't be made, therefore it isn't artificial. We've discovered Intelligence, not created it.

Here's a primer on the difference between investing and gambling. Investing helps multiple people. Other investors, employees, consumer, and even if the company fails, it paid people for a time. Gambling moves money from many hands (the poor) to a few hands (the house with a token poor to fuel the scam).

My internet is down and it's fun to watch the kids figure out what no longer works.
