Ditto. Made me think of FLDS Sons of Helaman. Hellions out to "enforce" what the hierarchy told them to do.
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'm worried this talk is going to promote toxic ideas about forgiveness. The story is not bad, but I can see TBMs using it to shame victims to bring abusers back into their lives. :cry:

Prediction: the new schedule will be accompanied by a new lesson schedule that abandons the 4-year rotating scripture study and replaces it with prophet worship lessons.

Why does there always have to be a war motif to these things?

I can totally see this happening. Or they will probably just weave so many GA quotes and talks into a "scripture" lesson and that is what it will turn into.

-5 points for making your kids do church stuff on vacation. And for using your talk to tell us how righteous your family is.

Wow his family is so righteous, I think they should make the podium just a little taller for him, cause he is just a little better than other people.
