SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Utah’s newest Hindu temple in Kearns was once a Latter-day Saint meetinghouse.
On Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) Mandir celebrated its grand opening ceremony in Kearns. BAPS, a socio-spiritual group within the Hindu faith, lead the celebration under the direction of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj.

Charlie Kirk a strong Christian Conservative, American Patriot, Champion of Free Speech spoke the Truth even when it was sometimes unpopular. He was assassinated and taken away in a callous act of murder on September 10. Charlie always spoke out against violence! Even with his last words...

I've been thinking over the past few months now, I wonder what Legrand Richards was like as a person. I bet he was a nice guy, that old guy on your street growing up that was like a grandfather and generally delighted in interaction with people.

Which is what makes a video like this a bit disturbing in a sense, does he really believe what he's saying here? In his own lecture he contradicts his own message on several points. If the message really was inspired of the Holy Spirit, would he make significant mistakes like that?

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.

The church (LDS) has taught members to believe that church-approved materials were the most trustworthy source of information about the church. The Church also warns that anti-Mormon literature is full of half-truths, lies, and statements taken out of context.

Mormons are taught to use the label "anti-Mormon" to refer to anyone or anything critical of the church. The phrase "anti-Mormon" is one of the most powerful tools for controlling the information members receive. Once members learn to discount ANYTHING that's critical of the church, they self monitor what they read.

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,
