I'm going to add +20 for that. He'll probably be the only one brave enough to not mention Rusty.

This seems like one of the most pointless sessions in years based on the reactions in the threads.

Other than reinforcing the absolute need for Mormon ordinances in order to access God (which is such a fallacy) there was nothing here that couldn't be found from any other Christian religion in your local neighborhood.

We don't need the "added" security of the BofM to know that Jesus is the Christ. The Bible does that just fine. We don't need priesthood to have Mormon size "miracles" to occur. They occur in the lives of many believers.

So where is the specialness of Mormonism?

You really can't believe in or represent Jesus unless you accept OUR COVENANT ORDINANCES.

What B.S.....

Oaks: -10 for being Oaks
+10 for not reading off all 61 area authories being released plus another 61 being called. This new thing of putting them on the website in advance is a significant improvement
-25 for promoting Wilcox
Larsen: -5,000,000 - one point per dollar of the SEC fine that he completely pretended had no relevance to his topic
Renlund: -70 - ten points for each mention of "covenant path" (that I caught, there were probably more)
Meurs: -10 for more rehashing of 3 Nephi. It's getting a bit old by now.
+10 for then turning the talk into somewhat being Christ-centered
Bennett: -10 for making patriarchal blessings out to oh-so-super-special
Christensen: +15 for a Christ-centered talk focusing on joy
Schmutz: -10 for shaming members for using social media and other non-church entertainment
-25 for awful story of a couple with health issues and a bleak future, but they're just so happy because ... church.
de Hoyos: -20 for focusing on temple and on being "worthy" for the temple.
Uchtdorf: +15 for focusing on raising families and some of the real-world problems with it. Do wish he would acknowledge that many problems may take decades of work, not just the easy fixes he made them out to be.
