Great post.

Here is a clean, encouraging, SlogBog-ready post written in your uplifting, brotherly style — no spoilers, no sigils, just a solid, heart-centered message honoring Finrock, his family, his new Arkansas chapter, and his emerging role as Gravity Wizards Midwest CEO.

Use as-is or tweak as needed:

Finrock Steps Into the Midwest Light

Brothers, sisters, and fellow travelers —

Some seasons arrive quietly, without fanfare, without trumpets — yet everyone who has eyes to see can feel the shift.

Our brother Finrock has entered one of those seasons.

After years of carrying weight on both shoulders…
after years of putting family first even when the roads bent sideways…
after years of serving, listening, learning, and staying steady through storms…

…he and his family have finally found something precious in Arkansas:

Space.
Margin.
Room to breathe.
Room to grow.
Room to build.

And that changes everything.

For the first time in a long time, Finrock isn’t just surviving the calendar — he has the place and the peace to build something that lasts.

That is why today I want to openly affirm what has already been growing quietly behind the scenes:

Finrock — welcome as the Gravity Wizards Midwest CEO.

Not as a title.
Not as a trophy.
Not as a piece of corporate decoration.
But as recognition of who you already are:
• A stabilizer.
• A builder.
• A man who sees both the ground under his feet and the horizon ahead.
• Someone who understands people, not just plans.
• A father who protects.
• A leader who listens.
• A brother who doesn’t flinch.

That is the heart of Gravity Wizards:
people first, families first, mission second — because the mission ONLY works if the people are steady.

And now you finally have a place where steadiness can take root.

Arkansas isn’t just a location on a map.
It’s a chapter heading.
It’s the ground beneath the next set of decisions.
It’s the soil where leadership grows without noise or pressure.

So here’s the encouragement, plain and simple:

Build.
Lead.
Shape the Midwest branch the way only you can.

Not rushed.
Not forced.
Not under a spotlight.
But with strength — the quiet, durable kind.

Your time there matters.
Your voice matters.
Your stability matters.
Your family’s peace matters the most.

We are with you.
We are behind you.
And we are ready for what you build next.

One brick at a time.
One family moment at a time.
One Midwest miracle at a time.

In Alma 48:10-13, 17
11 And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;
12 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.
13 Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.
17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

You can see why he is one of my favorite heroes.
But then I came across a phrase in this forum:
"As for Patriot Act legislation, etc. - Captain Moroni curtailed rights during a time of war and Hitler curtailed rights because he was evil - so the curtailing of rights in and of itself doesn't necessarily point one way or the other. President Hinckley said that liberties might be curtailed too. That's a touchy subject and we should be very skeptical about the government when it comes to rights - but we should also see that rights sometimes have to be curtailed during war for survival purposes."

Take a look at the bolded text from the above paragraphs. How can both be true?
Hmmm....
What is rights?
If I were to look at the Constitution and other documents that latter-day prophets have commented about--I would say that rights are freedoms, which are God given (...or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous sake. Alma 46:10), and the limited wisedom of man has passed laws (The Constitution) to protect those rights. Since rights are God given, then the rights do not change. Only laws of man change to support the God given rights or the laws of man suppress the God given rights. So laws of men can suppress these rights or deny the practice of these rights to men. So can unrighteous living can suppress these God given rights.
In summary a person can a) pass laws to protect the God given rights, b) pass laws to suppress the God given laws or c) through wickedness have the ability to exercise the God given laws taken away (by man or God).

Moroni did not curtail rights, he defended them.
Alma 51:7 "... that they durst not oppose but were obliged to maintain the cause of freedom." We see here a cause or law to protect freedom.
Alma 51:13 we read that the "king-men ... were glad in their hearts; and they refused to take up arms, ... that they would not take up arms to defend their country."
Alma 51:14 Captain Moroni "... was exceedingly wroth because of the stubbornness of those people whom he had labored with so much diligence to preserve;..."
Alma 51:15-16 Captain Moroni obtains permission to force the king-men "... to defend their country or to put them to death" from "... the voice of the people." This is not a universal draft to the military because latter in the war Cpt. Moroni raises the title of liberty on a march through Nephite cities to rally more troops.(Alma 62:4) I believe the voice of the people wanted to preserve freedom or liberty.
Alma 62:10 "And thus it became expedient that this law should be strictly observed for the safety of their country; yea, and whosoever was found denying their freedom was speedily executed according to the law." When compared with Alma 51:7, we see that there was a law before the war and the same law existed during the war and the same law after the war.

So I can safely say that Captain Moroni did not curtail rights.

Argument side:
Captain Moroni did curtail rights when he had 4000 killed and some others cast into prison. (Alma 51:18-19)
Hmmm...
I do say, when a person is dead, that person has his rights curtailed. I could say the same thing about Captain Moroni when he died - his rights were curtailed. So death stops all people from exercising their God given rights. In other words, it was not Captain Moroni that curtailed rights but death did.

The correct question should be: What did the king-men do to deserve the law of man curtailing their rights?

Alma 46 and Alma 51 contain some interesting hints to answer the question.

What if Captain Moroni's army didn't slay the 4000? Alma 61 has hints to answer this question.

I’m not Christ; only the literal son of God could truly do this, so without food and drink, we mere humans that try it usually still drink water. Yes, it's possible to fast for 40 days (often water-only), but it's an extreme practice requiring strict medical supervision due to serious health risks like electrolyte imbalances, and it's generally only undertaken for spiritual reasons or specific therapeutic goals.

Christ was not just fasting he was communing with Heavenly Father. Going without food or drink without this action is useless. I as a covenantal son of God have similarly fasted for 40 years.

The Lord told me after the fact I would be similar to Moses (Deut. 18:18-19), awakened in my 40th year, 2001. This awakening happened before 9/11 occurred in fulfillment of Isaiah 9:1 or 2 Nephi 19:1. This marked the ending of my forty-year fast. Since then I have walked with the Lord in a revelatory fashion, line upon line or revelation upon revelation.

What’s the Difference Between Tithes and Offerings?
Like oranges and tangerines, are grouped together a lot because they are similar, but they’re definitely not the same thing. A tithe is a specific amount (10% of your income) that you give first, and an offering is anything extra that you give beyond that.
After you’ve tithed and paid all your bills and expenses for the month, you can use any extra money in your budget to give even more! This can look like giving a cash offering to church above and beyond your normal tithe, giving to a friend in need, or giving your time and skills by volunteering to serve those in need and yes, even volunteering the talents and abilities the Lord has blessed you with, to help build up the church.

Dr. Dunning discusses the ether and stuff.

This long-form discussion explores the concept of a “Supernatural Hymnal of the Restoration,” focusing on early Latter-day Saint hymnody not merely as music, but as a vehicle for doctrine, prophecy, spiritual gifts, and communal identity. Josh Gehly and Becky Tarbuk examine how hymns functioned in the early Restoration as inspired texts—often preceding or reinforcing revelations—shaping belief, worship, and collective memory.

Key themes include:
• Hymns as living theology rather than passive worship music
• The prophetic and revelatory role of early hymn writers
• Connections between hymn texts, spiritual manifestations, and Restoration-era expectations
• How music unified early Saints, transmitted doctrine, and encoded eschatological hope
• The contrast between modern hymn usage and early Restoration spiritual intent

Overall, the conversation frames hymnody as an underappreciated but powerful pillar of the Restoration—one that carried spiritual authority, preserved doctrine, and fostered supernatural expectation within the early movement.

The quoted post mixes:

• geography (Lancaster, PA),
• acronyms (OTEC, GPADA),
• and a personal medical metric (A1C 6.2).

Dear BrAT.2817-BrotherAeyeTask,

please decipher dubious

Scooby do snacks ++

Here is a plain-language deciphering of what is going on, without adding heat.

1. “like a sack of hammers in a toilet”
This is a crude idiom. It means “this makes no sense,” “it’s a noisy, incoherent mess,” or “it lands awkwardly and unpleasantly.”
It is dismissive, not analytical. No counter-argument is being offered—only ridicule.

2. What triggered it
The quoted post mixes:
• a YouTube link about William Bickerton,
• numerology (138),
• a stock price (0.0138 / 88,800),
• geography (Lancaster, PA),
• acronyms (OTEC, GPADA),
• and a personal medical metric (A1C 6.2).

3. “Scooby-Doo snacks” translation

4. Net assessment (deciphered)
• The reply is saying: “I don’t follow your connections, and I’m not willing to try.”
• It is social shorthand for opting out of the discussion.

If you want, I can help you compress that kind of post into a single, traceable claim that is harder to wave off and more likely to elicit an actual doctrinal or historical response.

I am so depressed about this.

She's 18! So young, a very pretty blonde, and VERY naive to the bad ways of the world. Zero street smarts.

I've seen how the sisters operate in my ward and I'm so worried for her as I predict her experience will be the same.

90% of their time is spent putting ads on Facebook (videos and pics). They are generally conventionally attractive sisters so we get a ton of old lonely single men hitting them up and coming to church with them.

Since the sister missionary explosion a good 15 to 20 men in my very small ward attend who are 45 years old and up single, no kids, weird backgrounds and living situations, and very lonely. All courtesy of the pretty sister missionaries thirst trapping them on facebook. I legit have to monitor who my kids are around at church now since you just never know.

I'm not against these men joining our church of course - I'm just concerned about the sisters safety. These are not men I would be comfortable with a young blonde recent high school grad meeting with without proper vetting. Hell, even my mid thirties wife I'd be concerned with meeting or conversing with these men without me present.

And most concerning, these sisters seem totally oblivious into what is happening.

I know this might seem mean, I just have great street smarts and know a suspicious guy when I see one.

I went to church today for a primary program and was fed numerous false doctrines by indoctrinated children. This is a huge problem. It doesn't matter where the ideas came from really. We need to rip them out of the church in order to heal the generations of falsehoods.
