Re: Priesthood session Spring 2023

I know the moment is passed, but I'm really annoyed that the financial audit report declared that everything was kosher when we all know damn well that it isn't. Do we know if the auditing department even has access to Ensign Peak books? Even the Q12 didn’t know much about those EP accounts. Edit: ...

Re: LDS church playing hoochy cooch for Chinese

When I was a missionary, I remember people asking if I worked for the CIA…apparently, that is a concern. “SPY AGENCY INTEREST China’s interest in Utah is not limited to its officials and advocates who are engaged in diplomacy, trade and education. U.S. officials have noted that China’s civilian spy ...

Konference Predictions

I just found out yesterday that conference is next week….so, let’s predict what will happen. 1) SEC fine and Unethical behavior: I predict there will be no apology or discussion about this. The matter is closed. 2) Oaks or Holland will bash gay people again. Fairly standard. 3) a bunch of new temple...

Re: New Utah Flag

I have not seen the new flag. Does it have a picture of the SL temple on it or a picture of a prophet? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0401/1373/3790/products/New-Utah-Flag-2023-Flat_a14cf07e-9f2a-4d70-923a-87a3a5fbc339.jpg Simple.

Church payroll vs GA stipend

A few years ago, long time First Presidency secretary Brook P. Hales was called at the age of 62 to be a General Authority Seventy. As a secretary he would have been a paid employee of the church. After becoming a GA70, I assume he continued to receive funding. Is this a common thing? Does the churc...

Re: Can girls pass the sacrament?

There is no doctrinal reason women cannot hold the priesthood as well as pass the sacrament. My understanding is that in some wards girls are passing the sacrament to women in the Mothers rooms and other areas.
I think girls will be allowed to pass the sacrament in the next 5 years.

Re: Youth activities

All I have heard is it is a fiasco most places since 1) BSA was removed, 2) New program installed (not sure if installed is the word), 3) Removed the YM President and made the bishop over all the YM activities.

Re: 22 Months Down. 38 To Go.

Love to hear from you Bishop. Why do you suppose so many people are needy? (Not always financially) It seems like the church wants people to be self efficient, yet at the same time wants them to be completely dependent on the church.

Re: O.T. Prophets who messed up.

There are several examples in the Old Testament of prophets made mistakes. There is the story of Gandalf going to get advice from Saruman and does not recognize he has turned to evil and Gandalf gets trapped on top of the tower. There is also the many sins of King Joffrey Baratheon. And also, let’s ...

Reconciling the new temple teachings and literalism

I have not been to the temple in a while, but it appears the new temple changes included a message that the temple endowment is symbolic. I read that to be metaphorical as well. The endowment explains about the creation and life of Adam and Eve. Are we supposed to believe this creation is symbolic o...

What is your ultimate desire for religion? Should all religions fall and people recognize that all religion is man made? Without religion, what would humankind replace religion with?
