 I guess the talk works for me if it's okay to consider the church to be Hobbiton.
Here I am hanging out in Bree.

First they went after cheetahs, now they're on leopards.

This is the boring snooze fest that conference is know for. Yawn. Zzzzzzzzz.

I always think these stories would be better if they were about leopards rather than leppers

Yeah, I'm struggling to pay attention here.

-5 for assuming joining the church strengthens family bonds for everyone. It patently does not.
At times, when I was married the first time, I would wonder why my marriage was total hell when we were both active Mormons and had gotten married in the temple.
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.

LOL, I'm apparently pretty slow today. I didn't make the leopard connection until I saw your comment.

+5 for mostly being Christ-centered. Very little church-speak there. At least not that I heard, I didn't listen too closely.

I am late to the party. Fortunately I missed every session yesterday. Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

So far I have -10 to Gong for lots of covenant path references.

I am giving Franco -5 for speaking in Primary voice despite the fact she is not from the USA.

And sorry if this offends anyone but these threads just aren’t the same without MoPag!

Hope your rotation was better than conference.

Franco sounded like a 3 year old giving a primary talk.

Did they wash out Gong’s ethnicity with make up and lighting?

Stevenson

-5 for pretending he knows about "Truth"

-25 for implying questioning is due to the "great deceiver"

edit: changed -15 to -25 because it makes me angry

I agree. I still find comfort in getting my irreverent thoughts out.

They tried to prop up the fact that he adds diversity by showing old pictures from his family tree...two white women and his Chinese great grandfather.

-100 for JS and prophet worship.
