I am in a state of bewilderment. We have good, faithful members who tell me they intend to vote for the party of abortion, open borders, no-bail, and reckless spending because they think the other candidate is too mean and doesn't support a campaing of 'Joy and Happiness'. I want to believe they are just messing with me. But one of them is my son. A returned missionary and doctor. But he believes what he was taught in college.
@@HolyOutlaw-1776 my children are all in medical. And though most have started to see the corrupt medical model- they are liberal in Their thinking and have bought the hatred and lies of msm. It Is So bewildering.
It is perplexing to say the least. Sorry about your son's misunderstanding of the gospel. God Bless You and Your Family. Honestly I would prefer to vote for someone who is flawed that believes in the Constitution, than someone who wants all the ugly things you listed.
I had someone tell me at church Sunday the news told him the hurricanes are due to climate change. As my friend says, everyone is entitled to their own Stupid opinion. And stupid can't usually be fixed.
I think you’re spot on in your discussion of the events going on in our country and in Israel. Thank you for having the nuggets to share your thoughts and beliefs. So important to be reading, studying and paying attention to these latter days! 🙏
I don't listen to any media except those of you that get the real truth. Thank you for all you do! Love you & Sister P!! Yes!! THIS is a miracle!! I've been praying so so hard for this whole world! 🙏❤️⚘️
This is an interesting thing that happened to us. About two or three years ago, my husband would go to the grocery store and bring home little extras that we didn’t have on our list, and this went on and on and I finally said what’s with all this food? And he just said I just feel like getting extra food and it’s just a feeling I have. Well this last Christmas my husband got very, very sick and he had to have all his toes on the right foot amputated, it’s taken ten months, and he’s had a few complications going forward but I’m so very thankful that the Holy Ghost was with him at the time he was and my husband listened to the still small voice and we were so blessed with that food storage. Like President Nelson said hear with your ears and stay close to Heavenly Father and receive revelation.
Spiritual, physical, emotional and temporal preparation is needed. None of them can be left out during the 7 years trials, tribulation and test we've now entered into.
Amen to the miracles in Israel. I think it should be studied by all because as each of us has our own trial we have modern day miracles we have seen currently that are equal to the parting of the Red Sea. It comforts my heart as I follow these miracles, knowing he can do the same for all those who seek him.
Some of us have been given dreams to physically prepare… I’m one of those but when I try to warn my brothers and sisters I’m actually “shamed” and immediately shut down . And if the topic gets brought up in Sunday school etc … your made to feel so guilty . 🥺 I just don’t understand 😥 why can’t we discuss this ? People WATER is important … can’t live without it.. drink , cook hygiene and growing food ! Thank you for your videos❤
People are clinging to normalcy bias and comfortable living. Think of the Jews in Germany. Why did so many stay while the threats to their existence intensified. It's normalcy bias. Your advice on preparedness is very good and will serve you well. People often only learn the hard way. Unfortunately.
This is such a good comment. I appreciate this. It has enlightened my understanding. I think you are right. People are looking for normalcy. @sherigraham3873
What a change times have made. I remember when was younger, Conference after Conference there where talks about getting your two year food supply in place. It been a long time since I can recall hearing about food supply during conference. Some would say it because we don't need to worry about that anymore. Our Life on Earth is is a time to PREPARE to return home!! We need to be Prepared in all things!! Those that are PREPARED need not FEAR!!
No, that’s not why they quit talking about getting your two year good supply in general conference. We used to live in Utah. We were good friends with a man in our ward that had a good friend that worked for one of the first presidency as their assistant or personal secretary. This church employee told our friend the apostles made the decision to stop mentioning about getting your food supply in general conference because they had been telling the members to do that for years. It was like the prophets in the old testament warning the people and the6 didn’t repent. So they finally stopped warning them. The Church was still really growing at the time and I thought that was very odd to not give that council to all the new members joining the Church. Also, with all of new members coming into the church from other countries, a lot of them lived in small apartments and they didn’t have the room to store two years worth of food but they still needed to learn about preparing and storing what they could. Our friend was right. I never heard any counsel about getting your two years supply of food storage after he told us what he had learned from his friend who worked for the Church.
I too remember under McKay and Benson when specifics like food preparation, repentance, world events were talked about. But relying on the Holy Spirit means preparation in all things. Reading scripture and praying gets direct guidance from Father and Christ. The prodigal son who wasted his inheritance until he was eating with the pigs, the servants who made good use of the coins they were given stewardship over and rewarded when they had increase, and a biggy was Joseph in Egypt interpreting the Pharaoh's dream to store in 7 years of plenty for 7 years of lean. And read Jeremiah 23 to see what the Lord says about those who prophesy in His name things that aren't true and lead his people astray. It ain't pretty. Or Ezkiel 33 for those appointed to be watchmen on the wall who warn not His people the enemy are coming. It is important to be self reliant by and with the help of our God Father and son Jesus Christ. They won't lead us astray and are warning us to be prepared or perish. Free Agency. Knowledge of good and evil. It's why we are here. It's a separation of those who lead and those who blindly follow those leading them astray.
It’s so uplifting to listen to someone who has a clue! I’ve been prompted to prep also, though few understand. I try to listen to promptings. Conference will be a feast too with lots of opportunities for spiritual prepping. Thank you for your spot on thoughts!
As usual, you are spot on! Spiritual preparedness & physical preparedness go hand in hand. How can you be spiritually prepared if you aren’t physically prepared?
I agree with this BUT - I have always seen that those who concentrate on physical preparedness aren't always spiritually prepared... BUT those who focus on spiritual preparation are always physically prepared.
Hello from Utah! lol. It is getting crazy that's for sure. I love what you said about the handbook. I would rather be prepared best I can for every outcome rather than assuming there won't be a time of "all consuming calamity" as President Hinckley said in 2001.
President Hinckley said that he did not think that “the time was HERE when there would be ….” In 2001 October conference he meant it was coming now right after the twin towers in New York City were destroyed. He didn’t mean that time would never come before the second coming.
1. I have lived in NC on the East coast. Someone explain to me how a hurricane skips the shoreline, passes over the entire state and hits Asheville which is about 6 hours from the water. Exactly. You can't because it doesn't make sense. It is Maui all over again. 2. Tucker is good, and also I like The Israel Guys for updates on what is happening in the middle East. 3. Thanks Brother Palmer. We are preppers as best we can be, we don't think the pride flag belongs in ANY church setting and make people uncomfortable with the truth all the time. God bless you, Sue and your channel. Rant done..
I live in Raleigh, NC. I know it seems hard understand how a hurricane can have such an impact so far inland. Hurricane Helene came up from the gulf, hit Florida's big bend area, and went through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina (western mountains) , Virginia, Eastern Tennessee. It's crazy! It was huge, fast moving, and stayed strong even after going ashore.
Yes, it came inland into Florida and moved up through Georgia into the Carolina’s and eastern Tennessee. It was massive. The width of the storm was wider than the state of Georgia. It spilled over into eastern Alabama besides went across the whole state of Georgia. I currently,y live in Georgia. The governor said that the width of this hurricane beside the category level 4 which it was expected to reach before made landfall in the Big Bend area of the Florida panhandle. They had problems for predicting the path of the eye of the storm. That kept changing. It changed again at the last minute to go further east in Georgia than had been expected for days and then after it crossed over into Georgia and was going north following the very eastern and coastal part of Georgia, the eye of the storm started curving west as it went further north. It ended up curing a lot to the west and it didn’t slow down line they normally do. After hitting land and traveling across land the speed and the intensity of the rain and wind not all slow down and the further across land the storm travels the more it slows down. The way this storm behaved as it traveled across land going north was not normal at all. That storm was originally predicted for the eye of the storm to go over Tallahassee and straight north up to the Atlanta metro area and then curve somewhat to the west as it continued to travel north. Wide spread destruction, power outages, and flooding were expected to hit the whole state of Georgia at unprecedented levels. Towards the last hour before it made landfall the projected path changed.
I think that Mike Lee needs to put in the legislation to provide RV hookups for those living full-time in RVs who can't afford costly RV parks. This would help those who are in need. My wife and I currently live at an RV park in Southern Utah in a 25 ft travel trailer. It provides us with a place to lve, where we don't have pay outrageous rent for an apartment.
I'm there too and agree 100%. I boondock/dry camp though. I have solar on top and batteries. There are many Saints that live in parks or dry camp from at least St. George down to Yuma and over to Tucson. In the 'tip' of Texas, the winter Texans have their spots. I wouldn't mind a more permanent place so as not to have to move every 14 days in BLM or National Forest. How do we encourage Mike Lee about this?
I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem with my kids. I don’t understand. I taught them the gospel. I led them by example, and they have told me that I am a very good example. Yet they want to vote for the same candidate as your child and those faithful members you know. And I ask myself regarding my children, Where did I go wrong as a mother? Didn’t I teach them correct principles? Didn’t I teach them to love their country and to vote for people who would be good leaders who love our Constitution and our country ? Didn’t I teach them to listen to all sides of a dispute before making a choice? I thought I did but I must have done something wrong somehow. I counsel with the Lord all the time and he tells me that I have to let them make their own choices and make their mistakes. After all,he let me do that. I follow his counsel but I struggle with it. My family is fighting a big storm of trials right now and my heart is constantly on its knees. God be with your family,too.❤
I’m having the same struggle with my children, I have three one of our sons is an active member, but the other son is not and our daughter, the little girl I prayed so hard for has left the church and also left myself and her father, she wants nothing to do with us anymore, and it’s such a heartbreak.
Well,hearing. Ya’ll humbles me to see that I still have blessings to count. I have a large family and half of them are very active. All of them are still on good terms with me and their dad. Their dad and I are divorced and he has remarried. For several years we didn’t speak but now we get along. I like his second wife and she lives me. They get along well with all the kids. I have one son and daughter who don’t get along with the others, but I am told by friends that this is not uncommon. So I have a lot to be grateful for. I will stop whining now. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. I pray the best for you and your family.
I totally prep out of fear…fear that my inability to prepare will cause me and my family to starve to death If I “prepped out of faith” - I wouldn’t buy anything- because I would believe that the Lord would provide for all my needs… Yeah, that’s a dumb section in the handbook And…the Saints “prepped” for the trek out west ….🙄
I might fit in the "prepper" category, as well as several other people I personally know. As a group, we were by far the least fearful during 2020-2022. We hardly talked about the insanity that was going on. I did more travelling and hiking than any other time period. My kids hardly knew anything was happening. I do know a couple of people that prep out of fear. I don't see how they harm anyone. Yet I can see how constantly mentioning "fear" and "prepping" in the same breath all the time is harmful. I'd bet a lot of people are swayed not to do any prepping because they've been given counsel that leaves them with the impression that prepping=fearful weirdos.
Mightiest “works” and “miracles” makes me think of existing works and miracles, such as ordinances and scripture. The mightiest thus far is the atonement and resurrection, so to see the keys of resurrection to come forth, as part of the “ongoing restoration” or keys of quickening, like has been done in past seals, dispensations, will this be something in the near future? I believe so.
What about those members who are currently struggling financially, and don't have any means to build a food storage, or are able to pay their bills on time? How are they supposed to survive the tribulations that are ahead of them? Will we get to the point when the Church will help those families who are struggling temporarily, but are faithfully following Jesus Christ and His gospel, by attending the Temple on a regular basis and attending sacrament meeting. I hope that as things get to that point, that those who righteous will be caught up to meet God before all the tribulations happen. I enjoy your videos, and appreciate the topics you discuss.
Personally I do not trust the government or the church to help me or my family out. I do feel God will bless those who make what ever effort they can, even if it is a few bottles of water and some rice and beans.
I do not think we are going to miss out on the tribulations. Do your best. That's all you can do. If that is what you do, you will be in a good position whether the worst happens (death) or not.
Hey Bro. Palmer, I sure do appreciate your insights and opinions, and especially how you so often tie them to scripture references. The wokesters that have climbed the corporate ladder in Salt Lake definitely seem to lean left, don't they? In their eyes if we store too much food and essentials we're being "extreme preppers". If we defend the traditional family and the Family Proclamation, then we're being too closed-minded or not welcoming enough to the alphabet mafia. If we defend the unborn, then we're far-right pro-lifers, (which is perfectly okay by me). If we want secure borders for our country, then we're called racists. You get the point, it goes on and on and on. They love to accuse... And we know who the original accuser is, don't we?
Imo... WW III began in 2008 when Berry was president. Then made more momentum in 2016, and now 2024 we are almost at full blown catastrophic world war.
I am bothered by a general shift in attitude in the church towards physical preparation. To me, it seems a majority are completely dismissive concerning physical preparation. I have heard so many members say we no longer encourage preparation. I have ofton heard we are a world wide church now and many countries cannot store food. - all the more reason to do so! Even when I point out quotes from our leaders as current as 2020/21, they still dismiss it. 😮 So many are asleep at the wheel. And just watch the fire light if you mention anything about it or the Second Coming. Beyond my comprehension! Why must history continue to repeat in such obvious ways and yet go totally undetected by the masses? So sad.
Hi Scott, I am an emergency manager in a jurisdiction not far from you I can give you some frogs hair details of disaster response that may be helpful to you.
My dad used to say he pretty much followed what came out of the Church Administration Building but he ignored what came out of the big ivory tower behind it.
Many hears ago they told us to prepare for 7 years. Then it dropped to 2 years then down to one. Nelson hasnt revealed or prophesied anything that hundreds of preachers here on youtube havent been saying but most members are afraid to listen to them. I dont want to offend yo or anyone else but i view him as a president of a corporation but not the Lords anointed. God knows my heart. My faith in God has not been harmed but my trust in men/leaders of the church is gone. Thanks for your videos.
I think it's time to announce support for Donald Trump over the pulpit in conference. There are way too many LDS that are supporting Kamala and tampon Tim. It's time that the church starts suggesting members look at policy rather than personality. This is a crucial election.
@dl1130 I don't see our Prophet encouraging members to vote for a rapist, a con man, an adulterer, a liar, fraudster and the head of a secret combination to overturn a free and fair election. Remember the Gadianton robbers? That was the downfall of two nations, is this the next downfall of this nation? Vote for inclusively, vote for respecting and serving each other and vote so we can have the privilege to vote again.
God has used tough men to accomplish whatever is necessary all throughout scripture. Our members are not studying scripture and learning enough. Whining about Trump being mean is such nonsense, and not the issue we must be concerned about. Our nation is under judgement and we had better quickly get informed as to how this country can be saved from the harm that’s been inflicted upon the people or else were soon to see what bondage really is. Every time I pass by a new building of stacked homes I feel our city is doomed for being completely controlled by evil leaders in government. Prayer is a great place to start.
I'm a grandmother and voted AGAINST Trump in 2016 only because of the "grab 'em" comment. I knew nothing about politics or what he stood for. My husband and always voted Republican but even he voted against Trump. We were shocked he won. In 2017 I accidentally stumbled upon the conservative TH-camrs and found myself agreeing with them, UNTIL they said they supported Trump. Then I'd scold them for supporting a man who used crude language! That's all I cared about. I didn't know anything else. But I ended up watching thousands of videos to learn and understand. I had to EDUCATE my husband about all I'd learned, because he doesn't watch YT. Otherwise he'd still have TDS like I did! But it's scary because I see tons of Harris signs, and my feed on other sites is filled with Harris supporters. I really feel she has a chance of winning because people seriously have no clue.
Is the Dome of the Rock going to be taken out by one of Iranian missiles? Is this property (Dome of the Rock) under Israeli control, if not why not it is in Israel right? Does Israel protect the temple site? Curious about the politics of the 3rd temple site. Thanks for your input on this channel.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the statement that says we should prepare based on faith and not fear. Actually, those are very profound words. Instead of finding fault you should ponder why the church would make such a statement.
I think he is concerned about a general interpretation and trend that has followed in the general membership. I would say that the general membership of the church has largely dismissed physical preparation. I do not think that was the intent but it seems to be the outcome. I think it is kinda like what happened with VT / HT vers ministering. The church leaders made some adjustments to improve thing's with good reasons but instead thing's just got worse.
Except you’ve left out parts of the statement which takes the part you did mention out of context. The statement doesn’t bother you. That’s okay. But you can’t change it to what you want it to be and then hold your version up as the one that others are irritated by.
I think you can take whatever is in the handbook and twist it to fit a narrative or be offended by it. I am not a financially well of member and never have been. I do the best I can to store up food as we have been guided. I think there is a difference between what you are doing and the quoted, SURVIVALISM. People can and do take things to extreme. You and I have watched as many people have taken prepping to the extreme. Waco is just one example i can think of. The truth is that it could all be gone tomorrow due to something catastrophic. I'm not saying it is wrong to prepare. We need to be as prepared as we can for whatever happens. I'm sure there are members who lost everything in the hurricane. I think we will be called upon to help others in need physically. I think it is wise to not let so much of the opinion of others bother us. We also shouldnt get worked up over what we think something means. Please chill out a little!! Maybe you could offer assistance to those who lost everything in the hurricane. I for one would love to help them, but im struggling financially.
He objected to the vague term of "extreme or excessive preparation" and how it was labeled as being motivated by fear rather than faith. Do you think the church (and the population in general) has a meaningful problem with too many people engaging in extreme preparedness? Or, do you think we might have the opposite problem of too many people not being prepared adequately or prepared at all? The fact that you had to reference Waco, something that was anomalous and happened 31 years ago, as one of the "many" examples we've all watched who have taken prepping to the extreme, tells me that extreme prepping isn't really an issue at a church or societal level. Yet inadequate or no preparedness is epidemic. This means that to be "extreme" in preparedness is a pretty low bar. And yet those who prepare a lot more than the very low average are rebuked with the whole "acting in fear not faith" line. Why no rebuke for the vast majority who give very little thought and no effort to prepare? I know that is why that statement rubs me the wrong way and it's probably the same reason it rubs Watcher the wrong way, too.
@@davidjohnson7484 Look, I don't have a beef with Brother Palmer. I appreciate his insight on a lot of issues. I just feel like he was getting worked up over a phrase in the handbook when it isn't necessary. Luther can store up and prepare as much as he feels necessary. It is still true that there are members that go to the extremes when it comes to prepping. I have no desire to debate this issue. I think we should each prepare to the best of our ability. We cannot foresee the future. We could all lose everything tomorrow. All anyone can do is their best. Brother Palmer may be called upon to share what he is storing some day.
Your “survive” example was dumb. Most of the time you have intelligent things to say. Then you come out and say something so dumb it makes me question everything you’ve said. There is no contradiction between Nelson’s council and the council in the paragraph you “can’t stand”. You’re twisting. Do better. Gosh…you triggered me there for a second.
I am in a state of bewilderment. We have good, faithful members who tell me they intend to vote for the party of abortion, open borders, no-bail, and reckless spending because they think the other candidate is too mean and doesn't support a campaing of 'Joy and Happiness'.

If money is tight just get some rice and beans for emergency food storage. You will eat like a missionary in Guatemala.

Elder Bednar did give a talk a while back about food storage. But you’re right we don’t hear much about it these days
H A A R P weather control conspiracies i read about way back in 2011. This world is so fallen and I cant wait for the Lord to return.
AMEN!

As usual, you are spot on! Spiritual preparedness & physical preparedness go hand in hand. How can you be spiritually prepared if you aren’t physically prepared?
The children of Israel when leaving Egypt didn’t have enough food for the journey. They were eating manna for a while were they.
I agree with this BUT - I have always seen that those who concentrate on physical preparedness aren't always spiritually prepared... BUT those who focus on spiritual preparation are always physically prepared.
It was more difficult for the Saints crossing the plains. Those who were less prepared suffered more even though many shared.

The way this storm behaved as it traveled across land going north was not normal at all. That storm was originally predicted for the eye of the storm to go over Tallahassee and straight north up to the Atlanta metro area and then curve somewhat to the west as it continued to travel north. Wide spread destruction, power outages, and flooding were expected to hit the whole state of Georgia at unprecedented levels. Towards the last hour before it made landfall the projected path changed.
My uncle lived in Beirut in the 1950’s. He said it was one of the world’s most beautiful cities in it’s heyday.
I think that Mike Lee needs to put in the legislation to provide RV hookups for those living full-time in RVs who can't afford costly RV parks. This would help those who are in need. My wife and I currently live at an RV park in Southern Utah in a 25 ft travel trailer. It provides us with a place to lve, where we don't have pay outrageous rent for an apartment.
I think that is a fantastic idea. I agree wholeheartedly
I'm there too and agree 100%.
I boondock/dry camp though. I have solar on top and batteries. There are many Saints that live in parks or dry camp from at least St. George down to Yuma and over to Tucson. In the 'tip' of Texas, the winter Texans have their spots. I wouldn't mind a more permanent place so as not to have to move every 14 days in BLM or National Forest.
How do we encourage Mike Lee about this?
Hey us too!
Looking for a trailer, too. Is yours an RV or pulled by a truck. How long is it? Brand?
I know exactly what you mean. I have the same problem with my kids. I don’t understand. I taught them the gospel. I led them by example, and they have told me that I am a very good example. Yet they want to vote for the same candidate as your child and those faithful members you know. And I ask myself regarding my children, Where did I go wrong as a mother? Didn’t I teach them correct principles? Didn’t I teach them to love their country and to vote for people who would be good leaders who love our Constitution and our country ? Didn’t I teach them to listen to all sides of a dispute before making a choice? I thought I did but I must have done something wrong somehow. I counsel with the Lord all the time and he tells me that I have to let them make their own choices and make their mistakes. After all,he let me do that. I follow his counsel but I struggle with it. My family is fighting a big storm of trials right now and my heart is constantly on its knees. God be with your family,too.❤
It sounds like your children are still active? If so count yourself blessed.
I’m having the same struggle with my children, I have three one of our sons is an active member, but the other son is not and our daughter, the little girl I prayed so hard for has left the church and also left myself and her father, she wants nothing to do with us anymore, and it’s such a heartbreak.
Me too. ❤️
Well,hearing. Ya’ll humbles me to see that I still have blessings to count. I have a large family and half of them are very active. All of them are still on good terms with me and their dad. Their dad and I are divorced and he has remarried. For several years we didn’t speak but now we get along. I like his second wife and she lives me. They get along well with all the kids. I have one son and daughter who don’t get along with the others, but I am told by friends that this is not uncommon. So I have a lot to be grateful for. I will stop whining now. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. I pray the best for you and your family.
And they divided into tribes. 😢
Let them see how ridiculous it is when they need water or food!
Interestingly, the spirit has guided me to become an “extreme” prepper…
😅
Fear makes me want to.
I totally prep out of fear…fear that my inability to prepare will cause me and my family to starve to death
If I “prepped out of faith” - I wouldn’t buy anything- because I would believe that the Lord would provide for all my needs…
Yeah, that’s a dumb section in the handbook
And…the Saints “prepped” for the trek out west ….🙄
I might fit in the "prepper" category, as well as several other people I personally know. As a group, we were by far the least fearful during 2020-2022. We hardly talked about the insanity that was going on. I did more travelling and hiking than any other time period. My kids hardly knew anything was happening. I do know a couple of people that prep out of fear. I don't see how they harm anyone. Yet I can see how constantly mentioning "fear" and "prepping" in the same breath all the time is harmful. I'd bet a lot of people are swayed not to do any prepping because they've been given counsel that leaves them with the impression that prepping=fearful weirdos.
Sadly I agree. Preparation has a bad flavor on the church these day's.
Mightiest “works” and “miracles” makes me think of existing works and miracles, such as ordinances and scripture. The mightiest thus far is the atonement and resurrection, so to see the keys of resurrection to come forth, as part of the “ongoing restoration” or keys of quickening, like has been done in past seals, dispensations, will this be something in the near future? I believe so.
What about those members who are currently struggling financially, and don't have any means to build a food storage, or are able to pay their bills on time? How are they supposed to survive the tribulations that are ahead of them? Will we get to the point when the Church will help those families who are struggling temporarily, but are faithfully following Jesus Christ and His gospel, by attending the Temple on a regular basis and attending sacrament meeting. I hope that as things get to that point, that those who righteous will be caught up to meet God before all the tribulations happen. I enjoy your videos, and appreciate the topics you discuss.
Personally I do not trust the government or the church to help me or my family out. I do feel God will bless those who make what ever effort they can, even if it is a few bottles of water and some rice and beans.
@@watcherpalmerlds Agree
Are you talking about a rapture or a quickening?
I do not think we are going to miss out on the tribulations. Do your best. That's all you can do. If that is what you do, you will be in a good position whether the worst happens (death) or not.
If ye are prepared ye shall not fear - both a commandment and a promise
Hello 👋 from Arkansas
Hey Bro. Palmer, I sure do appreciate your insights and opinions, and especially how you so often tie them to scripture references. The wokesters that have climbed the corporate ladder in Salt Lake definitely seem to lean left, don't they? In their eyes if we store too much food and essentials we're being "extreme preppers". If we defend the traditional family and the Family Proclamation, then we're being too closed-minded or not welcoming enough to the alphabet mafia. If we defend the unborn, then we're far-right pro-lifers, (which is perfectly okay by me). If we want secure borders for our country, then we're called racists. You get the point, it goes on and on and on. They love to accuse... And we know who the original accuser is, don't we?
Imo... WW III began in 2008 when Berry was president. Then made more momentum in 2016, and now 2024 we are almost at full blown catastrophic world war.
Rus... entered Japan's air space as well.
Port strike over apparently. They get 62% raise. Suspended strike til January
Which will be passed on to us increasing inflation.
Yea, so it doesn't affect the election. Go figure.
The multilevel housing is very disturbing, no one should have to live this way.
I am bothered by a general shift in attitude in the church towards physical preparation. To me, it seems a majority are completely dismissive concerning physical preparation. I have heard so many members say we no longer encourage preparation. I have ofton heard we are a world wide church now and many countries cannot store food. - all the more reason to do so! Even when I point out quotes from our leaders as current as 2020/21, they still dismiss it. 😮 So many are asleep at the wheel. And just watch the fire light if you mention anything about it or the Second Coming. Beyond my comprehension! Why must history continue to repeat in such obvious ways and yet go totally undetected by the masses? So sad.
I am so right here with you.
Hi Scott, I am an emergency manager in a jurisdiction not far from you I can give you some frogs hair details of disaster response that may be helpful to you.
What is a frog hairs detail? Never heard of that.
Gas prices have also dropped by thirty cents in my area. How very convenient.
My dad used to say he pretty much followed what came out of the Church Administration Building but he ignored what came out of the big ivory tower behind it.
Strike is over for now
Many hears ago they told us to prepare for 7 years. Then it dropped to 2 years then down to one. Nelson hasnt revealed or prophesied anything that hundreds of preachers here on youtube havent been saying but most members are afraid to listen to them. I dont want to offend yo or anyone else but i view him as a president of a corporation but not the Lords anointed. God knows my heart. My faith in God has not been harmed but my trust in men/leaders of the church is gone. Thanks for your videos.
❤❤❤❤😊😊
Totally an orchestrated play.
Hello from Milton! 💪🏼
I think it's time to announce support for Donald Trump over the pulpit in conference. There are way too many LDS that are supporting Kamala and tampon Tim. It's time that the church starts suggesting members look at policy rather than personality. This is a crucial election.
The church has always told us to look at policy and values as opposed to party lines and individuals.
@dl1130 I don't see our Prophet encouraging members to vote for a rapist, a con man, an adulterer, a liar, fraudster and the head of a secret combination to overturn a free and fair election. Remember the Gadianton robbers? That was the downfall of two nations, is this the next downfall of this nation? Vote for inclusively, vote for respecting and serving each other and vote so we can have the privilege to vote again.
God has used tough men to accomplish whatever is necessary all throughout scripture. Our members are not studying scripture and learning enough. Whining about Trump being mean is such nonsense, and not the issue we must be concerned about. Our nation is under judgement and we had better quickly get informed as to how this country can be saved from the harm that’s been inflicted upon the people or else were soon to see what bondage really is. Every time I pass by a new building of stacked homes I feel our city is doomed for being completely controlled by evil leaders in government. Prayer is a great place to start.
I'm a grandmother and voted AGAINST Trump in 2016 only because of the "grab 'em" comment. I knew nothing about politics or what he stood for. My husband and always voted Republican but even he voted against Trump. We were shocked he won. In 2017 I accidentally stumbled upon the conservative TH-camrs and found myself agreeing with them, UNTIL they said they supported Trump. Then I'd scold them for supporting a man who used crude language! That's all I cared about. I didn't know anything else. But I ended up watching thousands of videos to learn and understand. I had to EDUCATE my husband about all I'd learned, because he doesn't watch YT. Otherwise he'd still have TDS like I did! But it's scary because I see tons of Harris signs, and my feed on other sites is filled with Harris supporters. I really feel she has a chance of winning because people seriously have no clue.
Is the Dome of the Rock going to be taken out by one of Iranian missiles? Is this property (Dome of the Rock) under Israeli control, if not why not it is in Israel right? Does Israel protect the temple site? Curious about the politics of the 3rd temple site. Thanks for your input on this channel.
Yes Israel controls it now, yes it’s already been targeted and protected during the missile strikes.
To get accurate up-to-date information in Israel, follow Amir tsarfati.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the statement that says we should prepare based on faith and not fear. Actually, those are very profound words. Instead of finding fault you should ponder why the church would make such a statement.
I think he is concerned about a general interpretation and trend that has followed in the general membership. I would say that the general membership of the church has largely dismissed physical preparation. I do not think that was the intent but it seems to be the outcome.
I think it is kinda like what happened with VT / HT vers ministering. The church leaders made some adjustments to improve thing's with good reasons but instead thing's just got worse.
Except you’ve left out parts of the statement which takes the part you did mention out of context. The statement doesn’t bother you. That’s okay. But you can’t change it to what you want it to be and then hold your version up as the one that others are irritated by.
@@davidjohnson7484 ??
I think you can take whatever is in the handbook and twist it to fit a narrative or be offended by it. I am not a financially well of member and never have been. I do the best I can to store up food as we have been guided. I think there is a difference between what you are doing and the quoted, SURVIVALISM. People can and do take things to extreme. You and I have watched as many people have taken prepping to the extreme. Waco is just one example i can think of. The truth is that it could all be gone tomorrow due to something catastrophic. I'm not saying it is wrong to prepare. We need to be as prepared as we can for whatever happens. I'm sure there are members who lost everything in the hurricane. I think we will be called upon to help others in need physically. I think it is wise to not let so much of the opinion of others bother us. We also shouldnt get worked up over what we think something means. Please chill out a little!! Maybe you could offer assistance to those who lost everything in the hurricane. I for one would love to help them, but im struggling financially.
You miss the mark on Waco and this channel my friend.
He objected to the vague term of "extreme or excessive preparation" and how it was labeled as being motivated by fear rather than faith. Do you think the church (and the population in general) has a meaningful problem with too many people engaging in extreme preparedness? Or, do you think we might have the opposite problem of too many people not being prepared adequately or prepared at all? The fact that you had to reference Waco, something that was anomalous and happened 31 years ago, as one of the "many" examples we've all watched who have taken prepping to the extreme, tells me that extreme prepping isn't really an issue at a church or societal level. Yet inadequate or no preparedness is epidemic. This means that to be "extreme" in preparedness is a pretty low bar. And yet those who prepare a lot more than the very low average are rebuked with the whole "acting in fear not faith" line. Why no rebuke for the vast majority who give very little thought and no effort to prepare? I know that is why that statement rubs me the wrong way and it's probably the same reason it rubs Watcher the wrong way, too.
@@davidjohnson7484 Look, I don't have a beef with Brother Palmer. I appreciate his insight on a lot of issues. I just feel like he was getting worked up over a phrase in the handbook when it isn't necessary. Luther can store up and prepare as much as he feels necessary. It is still true that there are members that go to the extremes when it comes to prepping. I have no desire to debate this issue. I think we should each prepare to the best of our ability. We cannot foresee the future. We could all lose everything tomorrow. All anyone can do is their best. Brother Palmer may be called upon to share what he is storing some day.
all *heck* please, I thought this was a family channel
Are you joking, I hope so
Really??????🤔
If the word Hell is in the Bible and Book of Mormon we shouldn't be concerned about saying the word.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your “survive” example was dumb. Most of the time you have intelligent things to say. Then you come out and say something so dumb it makes me question everything you’ve said. There is no contradiction between Nelson’s council and the council in the paragraph you “can’t stand”. You’re twisting. Do better. Gosh…you triggered me there for a second.
