Re: The Best Two Years?

After that we were supposed to introduce ourselves as representatives of Christ and boldly invite people to be baptized at the their door. I obediently did so dozens or probably even hundreds of times with no takers. Just a lot of anxiety and misery on my part. Oh, god yes, I remember that! A bapti...

Re: The Best Two Years?

Went on a mission to SLC, and we were supposed to be the vanguard mission in the shadow of the temple and all that. At the time we were the highest baptizing english speaking mission. And we had Loren C. Dunn as the general authority over our mission so there was a lot of pressure to baptize and be ...

Re: Ezra Taft Benson and Conspiracies

People like to think he gave up his alarming political views when he became President of the Church, but actually he was pretty out of it for most of that time. Had he been President of the Church when he was 20 years younger, it would have been a real dumpster fire. Yeah, I grew up in the 80's and...

Re: Ezra Taft Benson and Conspiracies

Oh yeah, it's on my list as soon as I have some time. I read a lot about this stuff when I read Greg Prince's book David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism. Such a fascinating book. One thing that was really interesting from the book was how the civil rights movement played into his views on ...

Re: Sunday Afternoon NOMference!!!

it’s funny when they just want to tell a funny anecdote and somehow shoehorn a gospel analogy in there to justify the telling of it.

Wife is asleep since Eyring’s talk. Why is the apostate the only one that watches all this stuff. I thought I wasn’t dedicated enough. Insane, isn't it?

Re: NOMference Women's session!!!!

I wonder if the teleprompter tells him when to smile, and when to give a heartfelt look. His facial expression transitions look odd. Maybe Wendy is standing in the audience reminding him to smile :lol: YES! Kinda like the primary music leader during the children’s sacrament meeting presentation. “S...

Watching with my wife for support. Daughter noped out and I felt bad for her. Daughter commented earlier “why are half of the speakers men at a women’s conference?”. Irritated glare in response.

Re: House Church lessons

Ours has evolved quite a bit, but I am really happy with what it is right now. There are 3 of us: apostate me, TBM DW, and PIMO 16 year old daughter. We take turns picking the hymn/spiritual thought. _________________________________ Opening song and prayer. Sacrament (DW would get mad early on beca...

Re: DW Back To Church

So it finally happened. Our ward is supposed to go back August 2. TBM DW read the stipulations in an email the stake sent out and got really mad about it. They kept talking about how the Covid-19 coordinator (new calling evidently) had to record the name of the leader responsible for the meeting and...

Re: Opening Up Church Again

I'm not comfortable with the instructions for administering the sacrament. The aaronic priesthood should wash their hands and promise not to touch their faces, something they should have been doing all along. Then you just pass the stuff around as normal with everyone handling it. Local leaders are...

Re: What will church look like...after Covid-19

I think Nelson will use this to continue to remake the church like he wants it. He seems to really want to get rid of a lot of things, and with everything being cancelled because of Covid-19, the things he doesn't like just quietly won't come back. Whereas getting rid of certain traditions and belov...

To sum up my point, the leaders teach fake caring for people because they really don’t care for people, only the church as an institution.
Yup, exactly. The church only cares about you in the context of what you can do for it.
