Happy April Fool's day.

Freak! I believed him and was like, "What the heck? Where did that come from?"

Okay. Thanks for that info. I didn't realize stakes were/could be that large.

In the NYT article about Hans Matteson, it says L tom perry went over there and told them he had a document in his briefcase that would solve all their doubts, but didn't show them anything. Then he returned and reported he had provided them with a document of information.

(major headbang)

That's cool! I like that story.

Was it his boy? I thought it was his brother. Another question I have is this: Is Elder Bragg a liar? Or was it his speech writer? Doesn't "stronger" and "more and more" mean an increase? The church is literally stronger than it has ever been . . . as new congregations are formed ... [other stuff I ...

Does anyone have those statistics for April conferences of 2016, 2015, and maybe 2014? I'm wondering if there's a pattern. (Back to 2010 would be cool, but that may be asking too much.)

Did I miss something? Don't they usually announce how many new wards and stakes have been created? Was there no such announcement today and does this mark the admission of a downward trend? I heard no announcements of new wards and stakes, but maybe I didn't go far enough when I replayed that part ...

Beautiful. Like poetry. It's got to be rough for you. A big virtual hug for you and all on here who are in this position.

I think the Thatcher cops were incredibly bored, though. Some years later, I left church early and was walking home. I stopped to have a text chat with my son. A cop was parked sort of nearby and drove up to see if I needed anything. I got the impression that he thought I was acting suspicious. Anot...

My story is not as cool, but in the same vein. Back in 2004, We lived in Utah County for a short time while attending BYU. One night, Mrs Kori and I got into a tiff and I left for short drive to calm down (maybe I bought a soda?). Anyway, driving down a back road that was nice and quiet, it was aro...

Any of you people live in the Boise area??? Apostate Valley as the GA's refer to it on their bubble slide shows Boise is the first place Denver Snuffer went to when he went on his 10-lecture circuit. A fellowship formed there (after the 10th talk, I'm supposing; I never have asked anyone). Apparent...

And DS said: it it's really that important to see him, maybe He could visit my sister at the hospital that day. DD is scheduled to be taken in for a stay at the cardiologist that weekend for investigation. DW mentioned it to the YWP, who said: too bad she can't meet President Uchtdorf...... I nearl...

So there were two talks preaching to those who didn't show up? What sense does that make?
They wanted the attendees to dole out social pressure or something? Or to just look down on the "less faithful"?

6 in one stake? Isn't that like a whole stake closing?

He got a little chocked up at around 42 seconds. Wow! That was fast. Thanks for the thread. I missed the broadcast. In fact, I totally forgot that it existed. I'm going to be doing some things tomorrow and Sunday. I hope someone starts a thread in case I miss something interesting (like TSM sliding...

He probably was.

I don't understand why they don't just change the policy of sustaining votes. When people vote no tbms get all fired up and pissed off. If they don't want to hear any no votes don't do it anymore. Because everyone knows that it's just a formality. The practice makes meetings longer and intensifies ...

My reference to ' speaker after speaker" was admittedly unclear. i was referring to the individuals who bore their testimonies in the 6 pm Sat session at the Hilton not the main session in the Cox Auditorium . Sorry Oh, okay. I didn't go to that meeting. I went to the boonies near Leeds with a grou...

That's sad that your bishops did that. I remember being in a meeting with the RS presidency when I was a secretary, planning routes. I don't think they were ever changed after we decided (I was the main person who was reported to by the main person on each side of the ward who was reported to. I hop...

ITs I understand the feeling. I have longed for a viable community of believers in Christ who came together because of shared values and beliefs and who choose to associate with each other because they wanted to and not because someone told them they had to. A community of equals where one did not ...
