Not a coffee drinker but I have my pillow and a bib to catch the sleep drool.

But what can we really expect? I mean during a global pandemic the best they could come up with was this cheap catch phrase "Think Celestial"

C'mon now. We also got a historic proclamation... about something or other.

I think there's the actual temple recommend question but the interviewer is instructed to read that spiel in addition to the question.

Here's the current temple recommend spiel: The temple garment is a reminder of covenants made in the temple and, when worn properly throughout life, will serve as a protection against temptation and evil. The garment should be worn beneath the outer clothing. It should not be removed for activities ...

How bout I just draw some Magick MORmON Masonic Polygamy symbols on myself every once in a while with a Sharpie™? LD$-Inc. could even start selling Consecrated Sharpie's.

Just make sure the cap of the sharpie is off when you consecrate it.

The people that are more casual about garment wearing (their target audience) is already beyond the reach of such messages. I suppose this is the predictable phase one, orthodox leaders pounding the rules. If that effort fails, maybe we'll see a phase two where they soften the policies to make it lo...

I'll do my usual prediction that's a play on a quote from Groundhog Day. I'll give you a conference prediction: It's gonna be derivative, it's gonna be boring, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. The only thing anyone can currently guess is that women are going to be eternally pregnan...

have we all graduated past having to watch/listen in live time?

Perhaps, but it would appear many of us have graduated past knowing which weekend conference falls on.

"There are large trees called Indian laurel... Recently many of these trees were attacked by a disease... When this fungus attacks, the effects are not seen for some years. However, the fungus gradually rots the roots of those beautiful trees, and they begin to die... and the trees must be cut down...

I flux in and out of it being easy to decline invitations. I was good for a while but let my guard down, so I currently hold a calling. :) It can be tough. Some leaders like to pull out all the stops. It's like the opposite of that episode of The Office where Ryan uses up all the excuses. I can't. I...

We might start with a simple belief as a child, but at some point that childlike faith faces questions and concerns. While our untested faith may have served well as a spiritual foundation, we must now move from simple faith through complexity to mature faith that is able to withstand future challe...

Can someone please remind me of the church’s stance on ERA from the 1970s and if the stance has changed since then? I haven't researched it and my credit card was declined at the holiday inn but from what I remember the opposition was something along the lines of: 1) Women are already equals, they ...

Richard G. Scott never remarried. There may be others but that's the off of the top of my head answer.

They've probably already submitted some names for K&M to thoroughly vet.

If there's a conflict between who the prophet wants and who passes the background checks, who wins? Who calls an apostle in the modern church, the sitting prophet or the lawyers?

I am wondering why it only goes back to 2013. Do they artificially cap visibility to your donations at 10 years, or is it something else? I've checked my donation history from time to time over the years. My experience is that there's a 10 year cap on how far back you can go. Next year you'll only ...

... faithfully repeating someone else's beliefs until they are your beliefs ... Oof. Now I know how to describe what church meetings are like to all my never-Mo friends. :P I'm thread-jacking at this point but if that's what church meetings boil down to, it's a shame we spend all our time repeating...

Yet I would not be truthful if I attributed my embrace of Christianity solely to the realisation that atheism is too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our menacing foes. People worried about "menacing foes" probably do need religion... or are unable to completely divorce themselves...

The adults lost their minds over it though. It frustrates me how these grown women and men draw so much meaning from kids doing what they were trained to do. The kids say the words that were written for them by these same adults. And somehow that makes the church true *sob* and in good hands *sob* ...

Church leaders earned their reputation, whatever that reputation might be. “President Ballard has never released tithing records to Operation Underground Railroad or any other organization,” the church spokesman said. The following could be realities that would still make that statement technically ...
