Did I read this correctly….not a single comment on Susan Bednar’s husband’s talk?
You ever find yourself reading a book and you realize that you don't remember what you just read from the last few paragraphs. That was Bednar's talk. Insta-forgetable.

Re: NOMference Sunday Afternoon Spring 2023!!

I gotta dock Corbitt if no one else has. He's the one that some time ago gave a talk (not sure where) where he said that it was wrong to press church leaders for change. Corbitt, the guy that wouldn't even have the PH if people in the past didn't press church leaders for change. He reiterated that i...

Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!

Just in case it gets memory holed, at the end of plastic bottles/infallible prophet guy's talk he said (direct quote): In the sacred name of the prophet who God raised up, the holy one if Is-rhul, even Jesus Christ. Amen. I can't tell if he goofed and recovered by trying to make out that he was talk...

Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!

I wonder how many people in the church who otherwise would not have been racist became racist because of the doctrines of the prophet at the time. I wonder how many people in church are currently bigots that would not be bigots if not for the doctrines that the current prophet teaches. -50 for makin...

Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!

Again, I don't get it. Nephites feeling the wounds on Jesus? They'd have absolutely no context for the wounds. It wouldn't prove it was the same guy that got crucified because they didn't witness the crucifixion. Shrugs.

Re: NOMference Saturday Morning Spring 2023!!

In all of his "you aren't celebrating Easter correctly" shaming I hope he remembers that half the time Mormons burn the ENTIRE Easter weekend watching general conference. Also, I wonder what the Nephites thought about feeling the nail prints in Jesus' hands. Were they all like, "Ok. That makes you G...

Re: 2023 temple ceremony on youtube

It's been several years since I've done an endowment session. Between the slow narration and adding things like the retelling of the war in heaven, it seems like they've done quite a lot to pad the length of the endowment. Did none of their surveys reveal that people want a shorter endowment? The di...

The ethics? Morals? Future consequences? I'm sure the church would do anything to open China up to missionary efforts.

You want a prediction about conference, I’ll give you a conference prediction: It’s gonna be long, it’s gonna be boring and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life.

Re: New Utah Flag

I read somewhere that there was another design that had a star with one point of the star for each native tribe that was in Utah. Tribes that were there years ago before a half-a-dozen of these Mormons arrived in upper Utah (now they number over twelve hundred). Someone scrapped that and it looks li...

Re: Temple attendance, temple recommend, temple, temple temple!

End temple exclusivity. End temple garments. The people in attendance of a sealing aren't even in temple clothes, just Sunday dress with little booties. I guess the reason they don't open it up to members in general (which is still too restrictive IMO) is because the couple is in temple clothes and...

I periodically have family members suggest that I "work on" going to the temple again.
Maybe you could suggest that the church needs to "work on" not being such exclusionist, elitist buttheads who think "worthiness" can be bought?
Or measured.

Re: Ministering Interviews

There's the "don't look bad in front of your peers" and "earn that promotion" pressure to inflate the numbers but I think there are a few more reasons. One day it occurs to you, "Why should I have to deal with the lecture for having bad numbers when I don't even control the people responsible for th...

Re: Ministering Interviews

I divorced myself from the game several years ago but I can't imagine much has changed. That said, I can only report on my experiences, YRMV. I am wondering if our ward has the same charge to interview 80% of the ministers. If so, I'll do my part to keep that 20% viable and strong. The EQP reports t...

Re: Reconciling the new temple teachings and literalism

Everything is literal until evidence that it's not becomes undeniable. I've heard that some time back the temple included language that it was symbolic and that sometime later that language was removed. I guess they're adding it back. Temple presidents must have been exhausted by countless people as...
