"Remembering Kirtland"

Post by _Bazooka »

https://www.lds.org/prophets-and-apostl ... 7&lang=eng

In this video commemorating the 10-year anniversary of Historic Kirtland Village, Elder M. Russell Ballard discusses the site’s importance in the latter-day Restoration of the gospel. “Heaven was walking here with the people,” Elder Ballard testifies.

Learn how Kirtland’s sacred legacy continues to touch hearts and strengthen testimonies today.


I haven't viewed the video, but I'm willing to bet that it doesn't 'remember' this:
“The fifteen men really do know, and they really care. And they realize that maybe since Kirtland, we never have had a period of, I’ll call it apostasy, like we’re having right now..." Elder Jensen
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

Does the village have a nice bank, with boxes in the reserves full of rocks thinly covered with currency?
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

To be fair, Zion's bank does seem to be going the same way....

SALT LAKE CITY — One of Utah's largest banking institutions is the only large bank in the nation that did not meet the minimum standards for financial capital levels set by the Federal Reserve in the event of a major economic meltdown.

Zions Bancorp was the only bank of 30 tier-1 large institutions reviewed that did not meet the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act stress test lowest guidelines.

The Federal Reserve announced the results of the bank stress tests on Thursday in an effort to determine whether the largest banking institutions in the U.S. were collectively better positioned to continue to lend to households and businesses and to meet their financial commitments in a catastrophic economic downturn than they were five years ago.
