I find it kind of weird how he's sort of apologizing for the SLC temple being closed, because it needed upgrades...

Right now, ALL the temples are closed. Why not make a faith promoting parable out of THAT?

Mrs. Hagoth's observation: coronavirus can't be the end of the world because Jesus can't come for at least 4 years until the temple is finished.

"working through personal offenses with doctrine or church leaders."

Forget it, Stevens. I already worked through it and I think you need to stop being offensive.
Exactly.

-100 to Stevenson for that BS...they don't want to work through anything unless it ends with us repenting and accepting their narrative of lies.

Nice one. I can use that on my TBM mom. She's going crazy.

Oh. He re-wrote BY's statement. BY wasn't saying that they were currently (1800s) building the temple to last through the Millennium, he was saying that they'd do that in the future?

Blessed release. Apart from Causse's talk, this session was um, not good.

This conference is turning out to a real disappointment. After all that hype and preparation it's just the same crap they push every conference. I hope Rusty has a some juicy announcements up his sleeve to salvage this pretty bland " historic" conference.

It really is sad for all those people who really think these guys are inspired. They are pitching the same old dribble whilr we are in the mist of a world-wide crisis and people are truly suffering. They are not even making any effort to comfort anyone. The lack of inspiration is striking.

I think I sang this arrangement of 'Redeemer of Israel' when I was a teenager. The soprano descant sounds very familiar. I always hear it in my head whenever the song is performed!

Lots of extra points to everyone for not fawning over Pres. Nelson.

ETA: maybe it's like how President Donald H. Trump doesn't want his name mentioned alongside coronavirus if it isn't some sort of praise.
