Again, look at the numbers from US CDC.

You sync with dear old Rusty And try not to glance around. That's the Hosanna Shout! (Yes sir!) I am going to work really, really hard to not s...

I can't find my "you're a crook Quinten Cook" meme :( Are these close? https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/bc/content/ldsorg/content/images/study/bio-quentin-l-cook/elder-cook-in-general-conference-L08Aca21b-paast-bio.jpg http://uploads.neatorama.com/images/posts/203/68/68203/1388586472-0.jpg

I don't remember references to Palm Sunday before. In the midst of the JS-fest, are they trying to move the church closer to traditional Christianity? Not just mainstream Christianity but the Evangelicals. They've been trying to get a seat at that particular table in the middle school cafeteria for...

Hark when the night is falling Hear! Hear the pipes are calling, Loudly and proudly calling Down thro' the glen. There where the hills are sleeping, Now feel the blood a-leaping, High as the spirits Of the old Highland men. Towering in gallant fame, Scotland my mountain hame, High may your proud st...

We have to listen to Oaks again!!! What the hell?

Has anyone told him he talks like he’s talking to preschool children?

Forget biased news & mob mentality. Look at the facts. Mob mentality is far more dangerous than this virus. Which news sources do you think are biased and which ones are trustworthy? What are the best sources for facts? US Hospitals & Clinics report cases to the US CDC. That’s why I quoted their nu...

Hosanna to the left
Hosanna to the right
Hosanna up
Hosanna down

Shout
Shout
Shout

Yay Hosanna!

What looks stupider? A room full of thousands of people waving a hanky and chanting in unison... or one old guy doing by himself? One of my kids made me laugh as he said it in a high pitch voice & exaggerated swinging his arm like crazy. The others smiled at me. Only DH had his eyes glued on the TV.

Oh no! DW expects our whole family to do this Hosanna Shout thing. *shudder*

I think I feel an extended bathroom break coming on...

let the whole family see how weird the temple really is...lol

Yes - I can hear “Cringe” already.
Silver lining - thanks for the reminder.

Imagine if people organized themselves and did what was right despite cultish pressure and praises! I think what would happen would be freedom of thought and action, and a happier people all round (but I'm sure the leaders would be mortified and freaking out). It’s nice to at least dream. :) The ma...

It’s truly heartbreaking how the cult has indoctrinated members to prioritize the cult above their own family. Yeah, it's sad. But it also kind of makes sense. Once the spells don't work on you anymore you are dangerous. People realize you know about things that they don't want to know about, not t...

How often has “restoration” been said for April conference?

200?

MANY more die each year of FLU (than this overhyped virus). That was kind of what I was saying in the beginning, based on earlier experience with SARS and H1N1. Boy was I wrong. This is obviously quite different. If we could swap this thing for regular flu things would be a lot less concerning, but...

:roll: MANY more die each year of FLU (than this overhyped virus). CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 28, 2020, there have been: 39,000,000 – 55,000,000 flu illnesses 18,000,000 – 26,000,000 flu medical visits 400,000 – 730,000 flu hospitalizations 24,000 – 63,000 flu deaths h...

Bragging about how many temples we have would be a lot more impressive if they weren't ALL CLOSED. Ironic but good summary of this conference. Worship church that has closed their temples, churches & missions. http://img.picturequotes.com/2/18/17344/the-lights-are-on-but-nobodys-home-quote-1.jpg

It’s truly heartbreaking how the cult has indoctrinated members to prioritize the cult above their own family.

You honestly would be better off to have a family fund where your family contributes a tithe each month, and then when a crisis presents, you can distribute money from your own fund. I really wish I'd had this mindset when I was still a member of the Church. It would have made a big difference seve...

I hope justice is served. But I hope so not just for this rich organization but so many others who abuse nonprofit status to avoid taxes and thereby put the burden on those more honest.
