Overall it was sad for those of us who have REAL faith in Christ. This was so disingenuous & manipulative . It's a wonder Christ did strike them all with a lightning bolt. Yes church revenue must be down with all the talk about tithing , good grief!! Yes, exactly what they feared would happen when ...

And ones that have a snowball’s chance of being built get minus 30. Points, like Mongolia? What the hell is he thinking? That should have been minus 300 points. Obviously I typed while still thinking WTF. But so many temple have been announced in places there are very few members. And they are goin...

Let’s give him -100 for each temple announced.

Opps, forgot to give minus points.

-200 for newest buzz words.

-100 for forgetting that a person can become addicted to the church.


And now he is homophobing.

-300

I am already sick to death of his new buzz words. I think I will strangle anyone who says it to me in real life.

The church can also become an obsession and an addiction

More beautiful music.

8,000 points to the music people, all who participated.

And, they have to have a gospel purpose. They can’t just be for social interaction. -613 I just felt like it needed a weird number, because it is a weird belief that socialization for itself has no purpose. Socialization is the gospel. It's a point leaders don't get. They're more concerned about sa...

Great. Guilt for the parents.

Aw, come on, what would we do without an over heaping load of parental guilt.

And you forgot to give him minus points, so -10

Cordoun at least has a cute accent.

Pingree is full of it !

I like his point that truth needs to be combined with love. Too often there is just judgement when someone *thinks* they have the truth. More often people who really have the truth don’t need to get all judgmental about it. But over all, the talk was awful. -10

Pretty music.

I miss the hymns. I mean, not just kinda miss, but they bring tears to my eyes.

-20 for his whole subject….no, not the subject but the self righteousness in delivery.

I know this is a shallow observation. He has a Captain Kirk cadence. "We ... come in peace. We ... do not know ... your ways."

+20 points to blazerb

I'm beyond it but his talk will hurt a lot of people. You know, it just stuck me that I doesn’t matter if we know better, or what is used to try to guild us back to church, what hurts is that someone we love doesn’t care how we feel or what we have experienced, they ONLY care that we stay in the bl...

Sad, but true. And why I didn’t argue with your negative rating of him with the beautiful East German accent.

Ew, I don’t like this man. I am not sure why, but yuck.

-500 for Uchtdorf or however many points it takes to ensure he goes negative. His talk will absolutely be weaponized.

As long as we remember that “the church” is NOT our loving father, we are immune to that weapon. Just to give you some emotional immunity for when someone does that to you.
