Of course Satan as boogie-man is, as always, a way to externalize "bad" decisions which are of course, our own.

With obedience we can defend against him!

Boy, these talks really sound childish if you don't believe in Satan and Nephi.

For Rasband, this is a pretty decent talk. Usually his talks are disjointed a$$ kissing.

I think this may have been covered in a the previous session's thread, but is that a salad bar behind him?
I've noticed several people calling it a salad bar. Someone on here even thought about making an omelet. :D
There are 2 Gods. One who created us. The other you created. The God you made up is just like you-thrives on flattery-makes you live in fear.

Believe in the God who created us. And the God you created should be abolished.

Another Rome temple mental masturbation moment.
The church has engineered your eternal family into a commodity that can be purchased with an annual fee. The fact that full tithing payment is a requirement for saving ordinances is the biggest red flag imaginable. Hagoth

Ok, so if we aren't supposed to make announcements in Sacrament Meeting, maybe they are going to apply that to GC and start making announcements separately?

Well Rasband's talk was rather a bit of fear-mongering. But like Hagoth said, without the context of belief these talks are really basic and substance-free, like children's stories.

New temples and some renovations of old ones. That's it!

I feel like Ralphy in Christmas story decoding the message "Drink your ovaltine".

Now you can’t be outwardly excited-so controlling.

All that building and renovating, the church must be somewhat still flush with cash. Either that, or tithing settle should be very interesting for folks this year.

Again, I'm reminded at just how boring these things were/are. It's been 7 years since I last listened to one, and I'm sure the two times could have been switched and no one would have noticed a difference. I remember now why I used to sit in the darkened chapel watching the satellite broadcast with my head in my hands, alternating despair and trying not to fall asleep.
