Vigilant Minds had another outstanding Potluck to Celebrate the Christmas Season, it was held on December 4th at Don and Dianne's home. Dozens were in attendance, and we enjoyed a large variety of delicious food, and warm joyous fellowship! If you were not able to attend, we are sorry we missed you, and hope you can make it to the next one this summer.

Utah County prosecutors on Tuesday released text messages that were sent between suspected assassin Tyler Robinson and his trans-identifying roommate after influential conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was gunned down in Orem, Utah. At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray revealed more information on Robinson’s recent shift toward leftist politics while announcing that the suspected assassin is facing seven charges, including aggravated murder....

After a massive manhunt by the FBI, Utah State, and Local Law enforcement a suspect has been arrested for the murder of Charlie Kirk. The suspect Tyler Robinson age 22, was allegedly turned into authorities after confessing his crime to a family member, believed to be his father. His father is apparently a former Law Enforcement Officer in Utah.

For those still basking in the glow of the General Conference 2020, let's reflect on how President Nelson asked followers of the Church of Latter day saints to prepare for this year's conference.

Study Joseph Smith's account of the First Vision as recorded in the Pearl of Great Price.

But which account? Did you know there are 9 different accounts of the 1st Vision? Written at different times for different audiences.

A summary of 2 Nephi 29 is that the new revelation divinely granted to Joseph Smith confirms Christ intended to confirm the Nephites under the wing of the Jewish blessing and lineage. And John 10:16 and Matthew 15:24 are used in justifying that belief.

John 10:16 – And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Matthew 15:24 – But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel
So, there must be others included in God’s plan for salvation other than the Jews.

Was a Huge Success!!! Thanks to all who attended and contributed.
We have 3 videos from the conference that you can now watch...

How does that old saying go? Your actions speak louder than words.

There's been a lot of changes in the recognition of the roles of women in the LDS Church, no doubt to the rising influence of the feminist movement in our current day and age. That recognition is a reaction to the culture; just like slavery, admission of black-skinned people to the priesthood, or the LGBTQ community's growing influence in our current culture and subsequent "revelations" in the LDS church.

Do you know how much a Billion is? If you were to receive one dollar every second, you would be a millionaire in 11 days, but you'd be a billionaire in 31 years. And apparently the LDS church has been hoarding cash for a long time.

But being wealthy isn't a sin, being financially prudent and making wise financial decisions is commended in the bible. Think of the parable of the tenants, the servant who didn't do anything with his investment was chastised for not at least making interest on what he was given.

There's quite a bit to unpack here and could probably spend a lot of time on each one of these issues. But don't you think there is a theme of oppression and lies. I'm really not sure it gets more corrupt than this,
