This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

Nelson holding up extremely well for a 100 year old.

He's also the only one speaking to something semi-relevant to what's going on in the world today. Of course I'd appreciate more specifics but given the nothing that we've heard so far, at least dancing around the issues brings the issues closer to the light of day.

People accurately predicted that he would announce 15 temples, bringing his total to 200.

Thanks to all for paticipating and giving me periodic chuckles that lessened the angst. And to our beloved NOMference leader Mopag, I hope we quoted you over the weekend to your satisfaction! :lol:

Thanks to all!

Nice to get a non-faith promoting summary. Thanks y’all :D 👍😎
It balances out all the other perspectives I will surely get to hear.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Putting a temple on a penguins and seals-only island might seem silly, but if you add an easy-to-push-open door and a fish dispenser, they will come.

These temple goers will intuitively know what to do with the baptismal font.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I just read all of nomference and sounds like I didn't miss much right? I was lucky that we were on a road trip and only had to listen to part of 2 or so talks. I'm glad Mopag and team suffered through it to give us some good commentary.

MoPag deserves all our thanks.

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.

I only watched Michael Strong's talk, because he's my neighbor's son. I was surprised he told the story about killing someone on his mission. It all turned out just dandy though, the church got him out of jail and gave the widow $25K. Money is always available, and always the least they can get away with.

Otherwise, I hope everyone is having a great weekend (except for the 10 hours of meetings on TV!)
That answers my question. Michael Strong. Thanks for sharing the rest of the story.
