Daycare Baby Brains, Helicopter Parents, And The Feminization Of Boys
Erica Komisar is speaking truth backed by physical and social science. Turns out, infants need their mothers. Infants detached from their mothers have an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone. This can cause increases in anxiety and depression later in life. Is this one of the causes of the spike in mental illness? "We're in the Upside Down." We treat very young children as if they are much older and capable than they are. We treat older children as if they are not capable and don't allow them any freedom or free play time . . . We need to reverse this." Boys are feminized in our schools. We treat their energy as bad behavior and don't allow more physical activities to release it. Schools are built today for girls. Boys have high surges in testosterone between the ages of 3-6 years old, and we often treat this with medication. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Misguided Empathy Is Destroying Families, Culture, and Church
Dan Ellsworth and Jeff Bennion discuss the difference between Misguided Empathy/Malevolent Compassion and Charity. Is empathy/compassion a positive virtue, or does it depend on how it is used? Charity focuses on Eternal purposes, while Empathy can be used for a short-term "win." It is often weaponized by activists. Data must be correct. We then pass it through narratives (Information), which must be tested before becoming "Knowledge." We often hold data in a narrative, many of which are like viruses. They are corrupt versions of the truth. We use examples of LGBTQ issues in our culture and church to put through Dan and Jeff's "systems" of knowledge. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Jacob 5 Zenos' Allegory of The Olive Trees - Horticulturists Perspective
Jake Taylor, a horticulturist who has studied plant genetics, gives us a unique perspective on Zenos' Allegory of the Tame and Wild Olive Trees. The Allegory seems to be describing trees that become diseased. The process of grafting is explained. Why do branches need to be "burned?"J ake's Website - https://www.jacobstaylor.com Jake's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@textualawakening Website - www.cwicmedia.com

King Charles Mimics King Benjamin - An Easter Message
Yesterday, on Maundy Thursday, King Charles gave an address very similar to King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon. This is not a coincidence. Kings and Queens have always had a contract/covenant with the people to act as representatives of God and to have the people follow suit. King Charles refers to Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, while King Benjamin is likely referring to a tradition of temple drama and coronation. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

What Happened To Exaltation? The Slippery Slope From Eternal Laws To A Prosperity Gospel
This is a fascinating discussion! Bruce Porter's current research is on a hierarchy of Eternal Law all the way down to Principles and Policies. Bruce gives it straight and direct as per usual. Have we culturally become communicators of Principles in place of Eternal Laws in the Church? To me, this is obvious. How often do we hear about Exaltation anymore or Eternal Truths such as Mercy Cannot Rob Justice? Are Doctrines truths? Are the Commandments doctrine? This is a great analysis and discussion on truth vs. culture in the Church. Website- www.cwicmedia.com

Feminism, Power, And The Role Of Women In The Church (feat. Meagan Kohler)
Isaiah Institute "Day of Reckoning" Conference - https://www.bookofmormonisaiah.com/conference Like the rest of Western society, Meagan Kohler highlights how many see the role of women in the Church through a prism of power (Critical Theory). But the numbers supporting these views may be smaller than you think. On a recent Relief Society broadcast, Sister J. Annette Dennis stated, "The adversary wants us to focus our attention on what we haven't been given and blind us to all that we have been given." She also said, "There is no other religious organization in the world that I know of that has so boldly given power and authority to women." Needless to say, this caused quite a stir among those who, as stated above, see the Church through a prism of power and a feminist worldview. Website - www.cwicmedia.com

Isaiah Predicts Our Time With Precision
Be sure to register for this significant virtual conference, "A Day Of Reckoning" on March 30, 2024 here - https://www.bookofmormonisaiah.com/conference Isaiah prophesies using the conflicts and decay of civilizations in his time. This is what enamors the writings of Isaiah to Nephi. Nephi saw in vision his own people going through the same decay. Are we to do the same. Will we arrive at "A Day of Reckoning?" The destruction of the family, sexual liberation, feminism, and malevolent compassion are found in Isaiah's writings. Be sure to join the Isaiah Institute in their virtual conference, "A Day Of Reckoning," on the Book of Isaiah. I will be watching! Website - www.cwicmedia.com
