Sacrament topic; Joseph Smithmas.

Post by 20/20hind » Sun Dec 16, 2018 3:50 pm

Ive only gone to sacrament meeting a few times this year, somehow each time the topic is about how awesome Joseph Smith is/was. It seems the church is really focusing its efforts on building credibility with joseph. One speaker said he really has a problem with Joseph's follies but goes on to to relate how no one is perfect and he still believes. Its interesting that he didn't mention what "follies" bothered him.

It is December so its Merry Smithmas to all of you!

They never do. I don't attend lessons anymore but if I get the chance to hear this again in some sort of lesson setting I intend to raise my hand and ask, "Can you give some examples?"

Kind of like the "Give Joseph a break" thought-terminating cliche.
