"Revisionist" accounts of the "first vision!?"
2025.01.22 00:49 Plus-Obligation-6162 "Revisionist" accounts of the "first vision!?"
I have not stepped inside an LDS church for years now, but I heard that the church is now "modifying" the official "historical" account of Joseph Smith's first vision.
If this is so, can somebody PLEASE explain how this account has "evolved" over the years, and possibly provide sources? (preferably from the church's own self-damning "official" documents and statements) This is something I don't want to take on hearsay.
If this is the case, then there is really no debate whatsoever. President Hinkley said:
"We declare without equivocation that God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, appeared in person to the boy Joseph Smith. Our whole strength rests on the validity of that vision. It either occurred or it did not occur. If it did not, then this work is a fraud. If it did, then it is the most important and wonderful work under the heavens."
No Mandala Effect here. I was alive during his presidency and not only recall this statement. It is still currently available at the church's own website, and the quote is verbatim: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2010-07-0005-the-first-vision?lang=eng
This an extremely authoritative "if/then" statement from the standing prophet. And if the official narrative from the church to members in the world has now changed, or they are trying to use new vocabulary to explain Joseph's ostensible "encounter," I would very much like to know.

2025.01.22 00:49 TexGay Should I ask him out to dinner?
Good signs he likes me:
• I’ve caught him staring at me - When we’ve been around each other in group settings I’ve caught him for about two years out of the corner of my eye staring at me and I’ll look in his direction until one of us looks away.
• About a year ago he told me he had a crush on me - At the time I thought he might have been joking and deflecting since my other friend asked him if he had a crush on this one girl and he said no and that he had a crush on ME! My friend and I shut that shit down quick since he was underage and I told him “that is illegal” but then he brought up Romeo and Juliet laws. (We are both legal age now.)
• He’s started initiating physical touch with me after he became legal age. - The first few times he initiated physical touch when he was leaving and each time he put his hand or arm on my shoulder or upper back. Probably like seeing if I was comfortable with him touching me before he tried hugging me that first time maybe? Then he moved on to initiating a hug when we first see each other then again when we say goodbye. After that he started to like hug me from the side and put his hand on my chest or he would walk with me while hugging/holding me from the side like that (idk how to describe it). Christmas Eve he actually came up behind me and started to massage my neck and shoulders…
• We both play on the same team in a Rec league sport and he came up with a nickname and keeps calling me that…
• Last month he started asking me if I was going to be at parties he would be attending - He told one of my parents (who is the coach of a sport he plays) that I was “cool” and asked if I would be at the team’s Christmas party? (I am not on the team and do not go to the same school). He also asked me if I was going to attend the Christmas party for our family and friend group and when I told him I wasn’t able to attend he was visibly disappointed.
Bad signs he doesn’t like me:
• We only really talk in person - We text and Snap some but we haven’t Snapped in a few weeks and if we do he only Snaps me like once a day and every time we get a good streak going he lets it expire eventually.
• He usually ignores me when his friends are around - We have an age gap and I’m not really friends with any of his friends…

2025.01.22 00:49 Safe-Duck7150 Is Spain a good idea for IR Masters
Hey yall,
So for some context I am a junior at a small private school in Boston and I have a 3.8 GPA. I’m a political science major and I have really enjoyed research classes and I will be doing a 10 week research internship with one of my professors over the summer. I also really like international relations and plan on pursuing that along with an MPA to do policy analysis. Centering on a language in very important for my field and although I do have some Arabic skills, I would like to also learn another language. I’ve been looking into Madrid and there grad school programs as I can take a gap year teaching English there to immerse myself in the language and culture. The programs I’ve looked into seem good, but I would love peoples feedback and what they’d recommend is best for what I wanna do

2025.01.22 00:49 SpicyOrangeCrush Adding new bathroom and removing old vs. renovating current?
 | I’m in contract to buy a house and trying to figure out what to do about the second floor. It’s a bit of a weird layout, with a bonus room that leads to a super narrow bathroom and small bedroom. The narrow bathroom has an awkwardly positioned claw foot tub and not much room otherwise. One way to make improvements would be redoing the current bathroom to install a real shower, but that would still leave a narrow bathroom and only 2 bedrooms. The alternative is outlined in the images, obviously a lot more work and money involved. Thoughts? submitted by SpicyOrangeCrush to Renovations [link] [comments] |
