Brigham’s failures: sugar, wool, iron, lead

Frederick got daddy issues bruh 😭

Brigham was a sassy diva who clapped back omfg 😭

the part i am on is discussing how you are not your body; and in a sense, i have gathered, that our body is what limits us much so. our spirits have infinite power, but part of mortality is having a body and therefore working with severe limits. the temple is an example of where you can utilize more of your spiritual power

So Queen Caroline was basically manipulating King George II bc he was so in love with her and she essentially had total control and power. What a master manipulator diva. But then he fell in love with someone else so that’s not good

In the garden & on the cross Jesus initiated the great exchange: the transfer of our stains and blood on our garment to his. That is why when he comes again he will be wearing red. Red is the color of stains from working in a winepress. It is also symbolic color of the saviors spilled blood in Gethsemane & on the cross.

Brigham Young was brilliant at rapidly spreading the colonization of Mormons in order to gain leverage over those persecuting them. When you are economically or financially dependent on someone else, you are literally giving them all the leverage and all the power if you become financially independent, they have no power. And you have freedom. Wonder if polygamy fits into here somewhere

Dang. George I kicked out Caroline & George II and separated them from their kids and told their kids how “evil” George II was even tho he wasn’t so it made his kids hate him years later. & Caroline a manipulative diva omg she knows how to work a man

Sophia Charlotte on her death bed at only 37: “Do not pity me, I am going at last to satisfy my curiosity about the origin of things which even Leibniz could never explain to me, to understand space, infinity, being and nothingness” 😭

When they pierced the Savior’s side, blood and water came out, a medical condition of fluid surrounding a ruptured pericardium due to stress. Jesus died of a broken heart. “If we are to be born again, we must offer a broken heart, accept the cleansing blood of Christ, and come up out of the water of baptism”

the very last thing to happen before Jesus died on the cross was he said “i thirst” and someone put vinegar in a sponge and into his mouth. this fulfilled a prophecy in the scriptures “for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink”, then it was finished.

Omg Sophia Dorothea—THE TEA 😭😭 this crazy affair then her father in law had the dude killed, then they showed her affair letters to her husband George I saying he was an “awful lover” and she was locked up in a castle for the rest of her life and never allowed to see her kids or anyone again omfg. Which made George I hate his kids esp his son George II what a terrible cycle of unhappiness

This book states your highest calling, and final step, essentially is to go back to others in need and help them, because since you’ve already been through it, you know how they feel, so you can fully empathize with them. Which i realized is exactly what Jesus did. He went through it first so he could fully understand & empathize with us. So as we do this, we become more like Him.

Very interesting to learn and realize—the church is not a democracy

Well George I sounds like a dirty rotten cheater who needs to get the stick out of his butt and learn to live a little

It is likely the post of the Savior’s crucifixion cross was actually a long tree stump with the branches cut off. Which introduces a huge contrast of the Savior dying. The Tree of Life represents the love of God. The Savior is the embodiment of that love. To have him die at the “tree of life” is very symbolic.

Emma & Brigham did not get along after Joseph died yikes. They fought over everything; what was Joseph’s or what was the church’s. Tbh just give the woman Joseph’s personal things like his uniform. Shes a grieving widow. I can see Brigham being un-generous in this. Alas, what a legal headache.

Pilates wife had a dream of Jesus’s innocence. She actually begged Pilate to leave him alone. Pilate ignored her. Smh the women always know

“If the Jews were to put Jesus to death, they would stone him, but the Roman’s would crucify him” therefore they wanted Pilate to be responsible
