He's begging "young people" to get sealed in the temple. I've got bad news for you, Rusty. Some of them are gay.

Minus ten for vaguebooking the temple. We won't learn the mysteries of Godliness. Just some watered down Masonic rituals.

Is he about to drop some major temple changes?

Like they would talk about that out in the open.

"We worship God and Jesus, not President Nelson" yeah just keep telling yourself that

What's the over/under on number of temples announced?

If you want your breasts to swelleth, there's probably a billboard on the side of the road in Utah that will help you out...

Crazy that $100 billion isn't enough to get the Tongan missionaries home.

+50 for quoting his wife in a professional capacity. Another +50 for saying "my wife" without adding any twee adjectives. He could have easily pedestalized her, but he didn't.

Something I notice about these invitations as related by GA's. They are nearly always invitations given to strangers on planes or other public places. They rarely tell of bringing their friends. The people they share the gospel with are safe; there's no risk of losing a friendship when giving a BoM...

-50 for throwing all other religions under the bus. A**hole.

This is just smug, smarmy, and slimy. And it's not gonna keep my kids (born 2002, 2005, and 2008) from leaving the church.

There are lots of possible explanations for the earth's existence, each one of them is equally as improbable as "God did it." -10 for referring to his atheist friend as "my atheist friend." That just feels icky. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who puts me down in public just to make himse...

OH MY GOD please do not use the term "he blew it again" WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PR0N

The church: we don't apologize, we've never done anything wrong

Also the church: apologize when you do things wrong

Ooooooookay

ETA: I'm assuming the pr0n talk is a subtle middle finger to Natasha Helfer

ETA again: not even really all that subtle

Didn't Elder Groberg claim to bring someone back to life on his mission? Wasn't there a whole book about that...and a movie?

Yeah and as recently as the 1970s, some father brought his dead son back to life using the priesthood and also by not looking at porn.

Oh, this is REALLY convenient. Just redefine healing so that it doesn't really mean healing. Then you can't be like "hey how come people keep dying after they get blessings." They WERE healed! Just not physically. Also, your dad is dead now, sorry about that.

uh oh......is this going to be one of those my dad was so awesome and we were so faithful that he was miraculously prayed...so you just need to have more faith talks.... I'm glad that I was wrong here. When was the last time you heard a talk where someone was healed by the power of the priesthood? ...

Where's RFM? Are we still doing the General Conference Death Watch? Someone's about to die of cancer.

"wearing yellow 'Helping Hands' vests..."

Remind me again what the yellow vests say? Don't they have the dirty word MORMON on them???

Man, she talks FAST. It's really a contrast to the somber, ponderous tone adopted by Ballard (and so many others) because they think it makes them sound serious. She sounds like a woman who does not have time for that crap.

Gross, don't quote Oaks.

Looking forward to Sharon Eubank. She's been hitting it out of the park lately.

Sad that we're excited about hearing from 3 women in one day. No doubt they'll point to this and say look, the church respects women. Great, so we're outnumbered 7 to 1 instead of 14 to one. WE'RE STILL NOT EQUAL.

When they say "we're living in a world of 'confusion' " they're talking about the existence of gay people, right? I think 95% of the time I hear that term it's a thinly veiled complaint that the gays don't stay in the closet where they belong.
