Y'all, what if we made it a goal to have new children of record reach 100k by 2025? I dont know how to implement that... but speaking it into existence is a good start.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints each April during its annual general conference releases its statistical report for the previous year.
On April 6, during the Saturday morning session of the 194th Annual General Conference, the 2023 report was posted on…

Is the Netflix remake as good as the original Avatar the Last Airbender series? No, Not even close. That said, it is still pretty great for what it is: a live action retelling that isn't mean to be the exact same as the animated series. Enjoy it for it is, don't hate on it.

What did David Archuleta expect when he criticizes everything we believe in now? It is interesting that he has reverted to calling us "Mormons" - I imagine that doesnt help considering he knows better.

The current doctrine of eternal marriage is a hill I will die on.

The pride flag has never stood for gay individuals who wanted to live celibate moral lives.
It has always been about allowing gay people to *not just* love who they love, but also have sex with who they want. Thus, it has always been a symbol representing sin.
