Social media has become THE tool to pass on disinformation and "critique" the Church, its history, practices and doctrines. The new, most popular, and fastest-growing anti-Mormon voices are mostly women.

okay well let's take a walk uh I'm not
sure how well this is going to work I am
on uh Maui at kopali Beach and it's very
very narrow and it's high tide so
I'm I've got about in some places 6 to
12 in of sand to walk on here so we'll
see uh we'll see how this goes and I
don't know how loud it's going to be in
the background probably pretty loud but
hey I'm on the beach um this episode is
brought to you by fathom the good you've
heard me talk about fathom the good in
the past fathom the good is a homeschool
curriculum for teenage kids it helps
them find what the good is based off of
principles of the founding fathers it is
an anti-woke curriculum that helps them
see the good this is like no other
curriculum you've probably seen before
go to Fathom theeg
good.com that's fathom theeg good.com
you'll be hearing much more about this
company and this curriculum also make
sure that you
subscribe all right I want to talk a
little bit about social media and
influencers um I'm going to be taking
this a little slow I've also got a
pulled
hamstring
uh the battle for hearts and Minds is
online it is on Instagram on YouTube it
is uh on Facebook this is where our
thoughts are going and this is where we
discuss things this is where we give our
opinions this is where we see what other
people think and something that's
interesting about social media number
one is that it can be very
toxic and we've seen this you see
several different countries around the
world you see states in the United
States even looking at or already
putting through bans on social media for
minors or up to an age of say 16 this is
probably very smart all of the studies
show that
that it is very toxic especially for
young teenage girls and I'm all for it
it is it is uh a social ill that we need
to avoid and I understand the
libertarian argument on this people this
is up to the parents it is up to the
parents but this is something that I
think we need to really take care of for
the minors for kids in the United States
I think we need to really really
consider getting rid of smartphones for
those that are under a certain age and I
don't know if we get to the point where
it's like tobacco but maybe right
tobacco or alcohol you have to be a
certain
age I mean is is a physical ailment a
physical
sickness a a physical
detriment worse than a spiritual one
than a social one than an emotional one
because that's what all the studies are
showing and the thing that's interesting
is I brought up young girls is that
overall also women are the ones that are
online more than anywhere else YouTube
you get a little different Bend right
it's a little more of a Bend toward
males but outside of
that it is mostly women and so this is
where the battle goes so when you talked
about the church as an example and
you're talking about what is
uh how how do we get influenced about
the church you know you see all these
topics out there like uh law of Chastity
is becoming a really big one where it's
just being loosened really really
loosened and who are the major
influencers that are influencing away
from these doctrines and away from I
believe the church they're
women and a lot of people don't want to
talk about this I've been talking about
this for years
the last line of
defense for a civilization for a church
is the
women and now you see they have the most
amount of power
online the the it's I I understand about
Mormon story that's kind of been around
for a long time but that's kind of going
to the side a little bit as compared to
these other women that are both inside
and outside of the church
and the growth of their social
media looking at these waves I'm it's
not you can see what I've got here it's
not that big of a surf actually I was
over by Jaws uh yesterday there were
about 20ft waves over there um on this
side you don't have quite as much in
fact this is for this beach this is uh
this is kind of big when I got here a
week ago it was um it looks like a lake
out here you know what else is pretty
cool as I fall down the the the beach
here um out here during this time of
year we've seen I don't know how many a
dozen or more
whales in here Turtles popping their
heads up um pretty cool stuff during
this time of year we are at uh mid to
end of uh of January or December
here
but so this is nobody wants to talk
about this cuz nobody wants to talk
about the women it's like No don't touch
that the problem is if we don't talk
about it it's going to get worse or
we're going to have people who are going
to be unaware of it Isaiah goes over
this and he shows that at the
end we end up with a very feminized
Society over and over again you end up
with a very feminized Society the men
become very feminized and the women
rule the women
rule and they fall they're the last ones
to fall and so I'm not saying we're at a
Tipping Point yet I have no idea I don't
know those things uh as far as our
society goes as far as the West
goes
but we certainly are in a position where
you could see that the women are the
ones that are starting to take the lead
inside and outside of the church on
things that are leading people out of
the
church and I think that's only going to
get worse I don't think it's going to
get better look
at what you already have look at the
individuals that are already doing this
on any topic it's almost always
women and it's almost always women that
are mostly affected by social media that
are using their time on social media
that are influenced on social media and
so it's it's a very concerning time and
if we follow those steps if you look in
Isaiah and you follow it you say okay
wait a minute the men are becoming very
feminized and and the women are starting
to
rule and we haven't gotten fully to the
point of children starting gr that
happens in
societies and uh where do we go from
there what do we do I think again and
one of the points of my channel here is
that I want to make sure that people are
aware
you need to be aware of the danger you
need to be aware of what is going on you
can't put your head in the sand anymore
we are we do not live in that type of a
society we live in a society
where if you don't hear it from me or
someone who's going to give it to you
from a faithful Source you're going to
hear it in the wrong
place so it has to be talked about so a
lot of people will say like about my
channel it's like why are you bring
these things up
just focus on on the good so to speak
just focus on Christ just focus on uh
building Zion Etc that's I just I would
say one thing to each of those
individuals that would think
that read the
scriptures read the scriptures and look
at what they're saying look at what
they're doing and look at what happens
when those Society start to fall and
they have to you have a prophet that's
going out and and trying to yeah preach
repentance and change but is going over
the social ills of the day Isaiah is
covering
us
constantly and we don't seem to listen
much and who what book are we told to
read right from Christ himself when he
appears at Bountiful read
Isaiah and we'll see what social ills
you'll find the social ills that are in
there and and what is tearing societies
apart and of course ultimately I'm not
just talking about the US I'm not just
talking about the West I'm talking about
the church and I've had people complain
and say well it's not your job to
straighten the ark I I I'm nowhere near
the ark I am nowhere near the
ark uh but am I confined to my family
I'm not I don't ever tell them what to
do what they should do or or that is not
my responsibility whatsoever zero they
have their
responsibility and I sustain them and I
support them and
uh I I fight you know I I will fight for
them if necessary I it is those are my
captains uh that doesn't mean I agree
with everything all the time
but I do think that uh we have to keep
that position always you always have to
keep that position and I see a lot of
that position eroding with a lot of
people we are moving into a critical and
I mean that with a Capital C A
critiquing critical Society where we
want to break everything down this is
where critical race Theory comes from
this is where Marxism comes from it is
all built to break
down and those that want to fight
against those things or hate those
things that I just
mentioned and still want to go out and
critique everything in terms of breaking
it down
that that is in a goodness and Order Of
God you're falling into the same trap
you're falling into the exact same
trap be very
careful
about using in some way a victim and
oppressor or looking at Authority and
and uh an authority placed in a position
of goodness and trying to break it down
it's a
problem and that is not just held on to
like some people might say pagos you
know or exmos or
whatever I see it in the church all the
time I get the comments on the videos
all the time from people that are not
that way you not have that bend
but they are starting to hurl
stones at the 15
right uh not going to get that from me I
may not agree with everything fine
you'll never get that from me and I
don't think you can ever do that you
cannot once you cut the head off the
whole body
dieses right remember
that all right back to the
women I think that this needs to be
brought up more I think we need to start
talking about it more it is natural for
men and it should be not to talk about
this type of thing and to we want to
protect
and we need to be able to do
that right and and we have a natural
inclination to protecting women and we
need to do that it's very very important
that is a part of masculinity and as we
pull away from that that actually
feminizes us
right so you don't want to do that
however
however we do need to be aware we need
to see what is going on
and we need to be able to speak about
it you have to talk about it it makes
things real when you talk about
it and you don't talk about it it's just
in your head it's not really real
doesn't do
anything it's kind of like prayer in a
lot of ways for
me if I speak it out I'm in a position
where I can speak it out to me there's
something a little different about
that right let's see how the sun does
here as we turn here
that we're all
right the women are taking the lead in
many parts of
society one of those leads is
influence and it is happening I believe
at a marketed Spa marked
Pace in the
church who's the number one anti-mormon
it's a woman no longer a man she has by
far the largest social media
presence and she's by far the one
leading and influencing the most amount
of members out of the church the other
is inside of the church who has the
number one presence online inside of the
church that is breaking down the law of
Chastity that is breaking down the order
of family that is pushing
identitarianism that is push pushing an
affirmation
of of things that are outside of the
order of the family it's a
woman
and I I I'm going to get hit hard on
this I understand
that I I have nothing against women
women have held on longer than men in
almost all cases and they do in almost
all
cases and we hold women up as being the
most precious of all along with kids and
we should that is how you do it
that is the right thing but don't put
your head in the
sink understand what's happening read
Isaiah understand the time that we are
in and the trends that are
happening and if you are on social media
and you're a
woman be
careful this is the Battleground this is
where it's taking place and and you're
not going to be immune to it you will
not be immune to it we will all be
tested with these
things the women need to
hold the women have got to
hold and you know president Nelson last
year stated in uh a I think it was a
general A Relief Society meeting she
said uh
online he said that the women if it
wasn't for the women if the women don't
hold true then we'll lose our civil Iz
ation basically I'm
paraphrasing and I think that he's
seeing something I think he sees
it we need to hold on to that thanks for
taking a walk with me in Maui have a
great day
