If covenants are an if I do this then I'll you'll do that agreement and if you're no longer interested in the you'll do that part of the agreement then you're no longer beholden to the I'll do this part of the agreement.

Christofferson did a very good job of capturing the toxicity of Mormonism.

How did this guy sneak through the vetting process?

That's how revelations that Satan controls the water get started.

It is kind of a superhuman feat to make kayaking in Hawaii sound boring.... So there's that?

You just know he uttered the phrase, "within the parameters" at least once to the rest of his family.

He goes kayaking in Hawaii in case anyone was wondering.....

He's following in the footsteps of Jesus. Sharing parables to which we can all relate.

The only thing missing from the talk was a sock puppet to occasionally talk to kids seated in a small group right in front of the pulpit.

I zoned out for the first hour and some of this session but so far conference has mostly been boring. More boring than usual.

Given some talks I've heard in the past, I'll take boring.

The elephant in the room is the priesthood ban prior to 1978 that limited black families' eternal progression and of course the ongoing priesthood ban for women.

Think celestial. There it is!

And he had the biggest smile leading up to it. So much so he flubbed the line a little. He was so excited to say it.

Bless his heart.

Don't rely on your Mormon pioneer heritage... that he's currently going out of his way to mention in conference and that almost certainly made it possible for him to be called as an apostle.

I felt for sure they were going to push the whole think celestial thing a lot harder.

Serious question. Does anyone believe that the church will ever move on from saying the word "covenant" 33 times per hour?

Lawdy this talk.

People go to church for 2 hours.
We have sacrament meetings.
The Elders Quorum President does interviews.
Missionaries read Preach My Gospel.

Yeah buddy, we've all been to church for more than five minutes and we picked up on all that.

Holy snooze Batman.

Church service taking away time with family when you have cancer isn't a positive thing IMO. Even if you pull through. Even if it's for one of the prestigious callings.

I read in someone's conference predictions that they would get a woman to give the “wear your garment’s” talk because it is the women who they are losing tight control over and it will go over better if a woman nags at us. And the woman that drew the short straw just so happened to be the same woma...

I thought he was trying to draw a comparison between Jesus on the sea of Galilee and himself. Both were asleep during a raging storm while other people were freaking out.

Is Eyring at home? I thought I saw him at the conference in-person earlier. Maybe he's at conference but his talk is still prerecorded because he'd have difficulty being up at the podium?

They never understood that the two great commandments aren't at odds or rank one above another. They're one and the same. You can't obey one without obeying the other. It's church leaders that have placed rules around proper and improper ways to love your neighbor. In doing so they're jeopardizing t...
