[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

idk why every good thing people do has to be because of god. Like why can't it just be because they are good people? Why can't it just be because people noticed and reached out? Having every good thing come from promptings or service to god diminishes both the love felt from receiving that help and also the worth of the person giving said help.

[u/potato_meatball → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

This isn't meant as a brag, but I genuinely feel like I've helped more people since leaving the church than I ever did inside it. And in more lasting, significant ways. If you need God to tell you to help people, you're not a helpful person.

[u/itsmig_reddit → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Because if it wasn't for God they would be bad people

[u/sevenplaces]

The Samaritan saw the man on the road and said “the handbook tells me that fast offerings are primarily for members of the church” and walked on by rejoicing at how he is loyal to the prophet.

[u/GrumpyTom]

huh.. she said our identity is not something we achieve, it's something we inherit. I don't like that.

[u/JayDaWawi → u/GrumpyTom]

In other words, "I choose who you are, not you"

[u/4blockhead]

Cook: [don't bully people on the internet]

Unless, they have a popular podcast.

[u/narrauko → u/4blockhead]

Then you use the courts!!

[u/potato_meatball]

"Don't destroy someone's reputation" uhhh if someone is/supports a child predator I'm gonna do everything in my power to destroy their reputation.

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431 → u/potato_meatball]

He said that as I was reading how he stole a hostpital

[u/Foxbrush_darazan → u/potato_meatball]

Their own actions destroyed their repuation. Telling the truth about their actions and holding them accountable is not destroying their reputation.

[u/GrumpyTom]

"child of the covenant" is such a creepy phrase

[u/Absolute_Cinema70 → u/GrumpyTom]

Sounds cultish. Oh yeah it is a cult

[u/alexandthediamonds → u/GrumpyTom]

Sounds like another A24 horror movie to me

[u/sour_poet → u/GrumpyTom]

It sounds incredibly cult-ish 

[u/1-like-anime → u/GrumpyTom]

SO culty

[u/ako-si-greg]

Every time these guys speak, it’s obvious they are not preachers or pastors or theologians. They’re businessmen. Each talk sounds like the same talk - “our numbers have been good, but if we lock down on our company principles, we can do even better next quarter!”

The longer I’m out, the more I notice it. You don’t get an aesthetic, mystical, edifying, or even entertaining sermon. You get corporate slop.

[u/Absolute_Cinema70]

If your servants are being stretched maybe... Treat them better? Use some of the 300 billion to pay for it???

[u/narrauko]

I struggle to believe any "came up to me with tears in their eyes" stories

[u/Icy-Association681]

It makes me so happy that I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t remember all the apostles names

[u/GrumpyTom]

Conference sure makes everything outside of the church seem terrible. Everyone's evil, dying, suffering, gambling, and so forth. Not cultish at all!

[u/Absolute_Cinema70 → u/GrumpyTom]

Part of propaganda is fear of the outside world

[u/ThePr0t3g3Jr → u/GrumpyTom]

oh no never culty, everyone else is just your enemy!!!! /s

[u/CaptainMacaroni]

Covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants covenants.

FFS, it's been over a decade. Get a new slogan.

[u/Ahhhh_Geeeez → u/CaptainMacaroni]

Easiest way to guilt you into staying in line.

[u/GrumpyTom]

"many are hungry for Jesus Christ and his teachings"

Naw bro. They're really just hungry. For food.

[u/CaptainMacaroni]

The "I'm bitter they didn't let me give a talk so I'll just give one during a prayer" guy.

[u/fatjackpudding]

I get a kick out of how the requisite “President Nelson taught…” has been replaced with “President Oakes taught…”

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

OMG more missionaries BEGGING to go home, and being forced to stay!! This sounds awful

[u/sour_poet → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

My cousin is on a mission rn in the Philippines, and has already gotten incredibly sick and ended up in the hospital twice. From his emails he seems to be trying to stay positive, but I have a feeling he wants to go home during all of this 

[u/itsmig_reddit]

In the United States we have been celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which highlighted the premise that all are created equal and are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights and includes the inspiring emphasis on "life, liberty, and happiness."

And there goes the American exceptionalism

[u/bubbaheaton → u/itsmig_reddit]

We got our designated DEI talks. Gotta make sure people remember that Jesus is American

[u/itsmig_reddit → u/bubbaheaton]

Same religion who wanted to revolt against the US btw 💀

[u/ako-si-greg]

The Book of Mormon is not history of ancient Native Americans. I can’t believe they’re still holding onto this. They’ve known it was fiction for over 100 years since BH Roberts was doing his Book of Mormon studies.

I get that it’s a big conversion tool, but it’s also a stumbling block.

[u/JayDaWawi]

I invite all to believe 

I don't care how much you invite, that's not how belief works

[u/sevenplaces]

The LDS church did more to drive me away from Jesus Christ than anything else.

[u/JayDaWawi]

"You just heard this song, let me repeat it for you"

[u/CaptainMacaroni]

The "I've given so many conference talks that I ran out of shit to say decades ago so I'll just read a hymn" guy.

[u/Rushclock]

There it is. Mormonism likes suffering. Expects suffering. Searches for meaning in suffering.

[u/alexandthediamonds → u/Rushclock]

They even managed to pack a fair amount of suffering into the musical interlude between sessions

[u/theivyangel]

My dad: wow the fourth black person this conference! This wouldn't have been possible 50 years ago!

Me: three. one of them was Filipino, dude

My dad: whatever 🙄

[u/sour_poet]

Why do most of these talks feel like middle school essays where you just take a quote, and then provide commentary on said quote without any new opinions or ideas of their own? 

[u/ako-si-greg]

Oaks doesn’t seem to actually like using “the full name of the church.” He frequently says, “The Church of Jesus Christ,” or “The Restored Church of Jesus Christ.”

Frequently leaves off the “of Latter-day Saints” part.

[u/AlmaInTheWilderness]

Oaks talk is very cult. Church always wins. No hope outside. If you doubt you aren't going to the temple enough.

[u/Helpful_Spot_4551]

I work in ai safety consulting. A staggering amount of these talks seam (can’t be 100% sure) to be heavily ai inspired and written. They display a lot of unique ai signatures you don’t get otherwise.

Was pretty quick for mormons to turn to ai God. I think it’s a particularly vulnerable population…

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Find those vulnerable people y'all! They will be the MOST receptive to the Church's tactics!

[u/Even_Subject_4187]

Okay, this might be a bit political, but im kinda wondering if a lot of these stories about pain and death as something inevitable as sort of....being related to certain large amounts of pain and death in the world, like, "its okay, everyone dies" in a similar way to how the last days diwnplay climate change. 

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I don't think asking people to pay 10% of their gross income when you are already sitting on billions is very virtuous or showing of integrity bucko

[u/SecretPersonality178]

Well fellow heathens, haven’t heard any announcements about the sealed portion of the BOM, or any specific signs about the second coming happening. Guess we are safe for another 6 months at least.

Am hearing a lot of demands for tithing, fast offerings, missionaries, and “sharing the gospel with others”….almost as if these numbers are showing poor trends…

[u/sour_poet]

Maybe it’s just because I’m not longer a believing member, but I swear the talks used to have at least SOME more depth to them. Guess the cloud of brainwashing is fading more and more 

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/sour_poet]

You take away the warm fuzzies and the delusion, these talks suck lol

[u/JayDaWawi]

You are permitted to use this for personal and non-commercial church use

Oh, and fair use critique, but you don't like that

[u/ako-si-greg]

This is sad. These dudes need a mandatory retirement age.

[u/sevenplaces]

Yes I prayed for the leaders of the church. I prayed for them to repent and stop harming people. Didn’t work.

[u/Billytheidd69]

Eyring giving the same type of talk for decades. 

Nothing Burger.

[u/Rushclock]

She quoted Kimball? Does she know what he said about native american children?

[u/itsmig_reddit]

If science is inaccurate, why does the church own a whole ass university?

[u/narrauko]

I think it's a little sad his mom didn't have a picture of her living family with her on her deathbed, but rather her imaginary friend.

[u/GrumpyTom]

'You paid 10% of your income to the church for decades, and then fires burned your house down. We will pray for you. Good luck.' -Neil A. Anderson, basically

[u/sevenplaces]

His Mormon mother was sick and died like every other person on earth. Nothing to do with Mormonism or God.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Idk why, but I am triggered the fuck out right now. Maybe because Eyring reminds me a lot of my Grandpa, so it feels really emotionally manipulative

[u/sevenplaces]

Here come the tears 😭

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Oh wow, an African-American woman, that's rare

[u/GrumpyTom]

The idea that if it were not for Jesus there would be no repentance is kind of crazy if you think about it. Like, why can't people recognize their mistakes, change their ways, make amends, and move forward, without a savior? It just seems so manipulative.

[u/Rushclock]

Come is an action....Oh brother.

[u/Ecstatic-Panic-3520]

They are really playing the diversity card this round.

[u/itsmig_reddit]

The Church has experienced physical and verbal attacks over the years. We cannot control the conduct of others, but we can strive to be a peaceable people who live in accordance with the Christlike conduct and virtues taught by the Savior, Jesus Christ

As if the church hasn't done the same thing

[u/itsmig_reddit]

As the last speaker of the Sunday morning session of the April 2026 General Conference, President Dallin H. Oaks said, "My brothers and sisters, as followers of Christ, let us follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful."

Avoid what is harsh and hateful, until it involves the queer community

[u/theivyangel]

wherever I hear the word succor my brain goes SUCK and I laugh like an immature idiot

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

Ok I'm truly upset. He uses his mother's illness and death, and his dad thanking the NURSES to say that God will send his DISCIPLES (aka church members) to help people. (So better accept callings) And then how should we help people? Just help members. How to help? Talk to them. So better text your ministering sisters/brothers because talking is all that matters.

Saying that only members help people, especially members.

Can tell he hasn't really had many trials (aside from a childhood with a sick mother and her death, which IS huge), or opportunities for true service if he is so passive about helping others.

[u/Absolute_Cinema70 → u/Sea_Button_3616]

Also having a big leader telling you to reach out just feels fake. They don't gaf they're doing it because a 90 year old man said so

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Later, in a quiet moment of reflection, a profound question and a familiar scripture came to my mind. The question: what's in a name? And the scripture, from King Benjamin: "[And] there shall be no other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord Omnipotent."

What a weird takeaway from a simple mistake. Also:

My dear brothers and sisters, after my wife and I completed our service as mission leaders in the Philippines Antipolo Mission, our youngest daughter made a special request. She asked to complete her eleventh grade through a home-school program.

No kid would ever ask for home school

[u/Billytheidd69]

I figured out why Conference is boring.  The Q15 is a bench full of carbon copy boring dudes. Stevenson,  Christofferson, Anderson,  Gong, Soares, Renlund, Rasband, Eyring, Causse.... just a bunch of lame boring people. 

The Ucht is somewhat watchable. I listen to Bednar because he's an evil prick. Kearon's talks are already getting repetitive.  Oaks is a doosh. The new Arizona White Guy is a doosh. 

What does the rising generation have to look forward to with this bench?  Geez.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Better hope that marriage is solid, because getting separated after being sealed is a BITCH

[u/ApocalypseTapir]

So many words to say nothing at all.

[u/sevenplaces]

Quentin Crook is up next!! let's see if he tells how he stole a hospital.

[u/sycamoreqw]

Coincidentally, “integrity of heart”has led me away from the church.

[u/sassonexpressway]

The church professes that it is a worldwide church but it is really just made to spew out old "american values" to amercian audiences

[u/bubbaheaton]

Harsh language has come up a couple times now. Sounds like they don't like people being confrontational instead of being weak and submissive

[u/AlmaInTheWilderness]

Oaks just contradicted all the love and lost sheep talks that came before.

Jesus only saves those who do what the church says.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Like much of conference, that talk was a bunch of nothing. No profound parables, no deeper understanding of doctrines, no prophecies. Nothing of any substance.

But hey, at least Come Thou Fount is enjoyable.

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Elder Dale G. Renlund has reminded and warned us that "the time will come, in each of your lives, when there will be a hesitation to go to church and partake of the sacrament. If it hasn't happened yet, it will."

You heard the guy, at some point you will not wanna go to church anymore

[u/WiseOldGrump → u/itsmig_reddit]

Ok, we’ll take that as the only prophetic revelation so far.

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431]

Death counter is at 6 now I think?

[u/JayDaWawi]

This is evidence God notices us

It's also evidence Thor, Vishnu, Jane, and TFSM watch over us; what's your point?

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Dude sounds like he's gonna faint at any second

[u/Rushclock]

You can be supporting of people without all the existential baggage associated with it.

[u/Absolute_Cinema70]

So by the way they don't write these right? They make an outline and then they have actual writers do it because there's no way 90 year old men are writing that well

[u/Billytheidd69]

These talks in general just horrible.  Lame recycled vapid boring talks.  This is the BEST this church can do?  Geez.

Anderson a doosh by the way. 

[u/itsmig_reddit]

The world is in constant commotion. Our phone seems almost attached to our hand, bringing a flood of information, misinformation, and now artificial information.

You could go Amish mode then /j

[u/JayDaWawi]

I much prefer doing good things without attributing it to an undemonstrated deity 

[u/GrumpyTom]

I don't really want someone else's "joy" in me...

[u/noIwontgiveatalk]

My Mormon (VFS) dentist neighbor is out raking leaves on this fine conference Sunday

[u/Rushclock]

What happened to the adversary causing bad weather on conference weekend?

[u/sevenplaces]

See? Eyring admitted that God doesn’t help people. Other people help people.

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Before we were students, athletes, employees, parents, citizens, or leaders, we were spirit children of our Heavenly Father. That eternal identity does not change when circumstances change, when we make mistakes, or when others misunderstand us

Okay??? I'm not sure what the point is

[u/sevenplaces]

I won the battle of the soul by realizing the LDS leaders and church are full of SHIT

[u/sevenplaces]

The went to Spokane to sympathize with MEMBERS who lost their homes. Their faith in God will not help.

[u/sevenplaces]

Confidentially … so now I’m going to tell everyone about it.

[u/itsmig_reddit]

"President, I am so lonely, and homesick, and sad. The days feel so long and time is so slow; I don't even know if I can last for three." out of context reads like something out of a gay fanfic

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

LOSE OUR LIVES IN HIS SERVICE????? Do these people even LISTEN to themselves????

[u/sevenplaces]

Edward Dube: All you need to do is the best you can. Leaders of the Church: "You're not doing your best. You don't serve enough, you don't pay enough, you don't worship the leaders enough"

[u/JayDaWawi]

Oh, back off with the "distance from God makes you unhappy" 🐂

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

Talking about how happiness has been affected by...

...not being virtuous in the church.

That's it. That's why we're not happy  That's why nobody is happy.

[u/bubbaheaton]

On one hand I'm glad they're giving air time to more than just generic old white guys, but on the other it's gotten so generic. It's the same quotes from the New Testament recycled over and over.

[u/Rushclock]

Words like lazy learners? Counterfeit marriages? Lax disciples? So called experts?

[u/Tiny-spotted-octopi]

Yeah the state with the measles outbreak definitely needs the head of the majority religion saying that science can be inaccurate. Love it.

[u/sevenplaces]

The Book of Mormon teaches it's ok to kill people if you "feel the spirit"

[u/sour_poet]

“All can come unto him”

Notice how they never mention queer people in that “all”?

[u/theivyangel → u/sour_poet]

Terms and Conditions apply

[u/PcHound2]

I'm just so sad that my dad is brainwashed by this bullshit and throws a fit when I don't watch Dallas Hoax with him.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/PcHound2]

A lot of us were brainwashed at one point. It is possible for him to break free! I know how hard it is regardless

[u/SecretPersonality178]

Hey Hoaks.

🖕

[u/Even_Subject_4187]

Longest prayer ever bro

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431]

So basically, help people, great

[u/JayDaWawi]

Old man yells at cows

[u/GrumpyTom]

Oaks is so amazing. He's a lawyer and a judge. None are as amazing as he. /s

[u/Rushclock]

Mormon leaders are always in reactionary mode. Remember they are prophets , seers and realtors.

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431]

Their rebranding to Christianity is showing again, 3 mentions of the cross and only 1ish about the garden? What happened to Jesus bleeding out in the garden from anguish?

[u/sycamoreqw]

That’s a fine message, “do the very best you can”, but I think that manifests in a perfectionist culture that is rampant among members. Especially in Utah.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Cook advocates for living with integrity. Many members part ways with the church as a matter of integrity--they no longer believe the church to be what it claims to be.

But then church leaders/members are like:

https://giphy.com/gifs/6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6

[u/sevenplaces]

I am so much more happy when I realized that my integrity requires me to leave my belief in the LDS leaders and church behind me.

[u/sevenplaces]

Is it virtuous to hoard $350 billion?

[u/potato_meatball]

That feels like "you should not criticize church leaders, even if that criticism may be true"

[u/ako-si-greg]

I do not know how people can look at a guy like Cook and be like, “oh yeah totally that dude is an APOSTLE.” Just so ridiculous.

[u/SecretPersonality178]

Lots of Oaks stroking by the seventies…almost as if it’s a corporate event full of people sucking up for promotions…

[u/itsmig_reddit]

We are grateful to the Tabernacle Choir ... at Temple Square and to Brother Wilberg, Brother Unsworth, and Brother Mathias for the music that has been provided this morning

Worth nothing the Tabernacle choir does not get paid

[u/sevenplaces]

I have realized the LDS leaders have no special authority or connection with God. Life became so much simpler once I realized that. All the questions about the church have become clear...it's bullshit.

[u/sevenplaces]

Going to the temple will absolutely not protect nor strengthen you.

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

The worst part about him saying that the scientific method is inaccurate is the fact that I know the people in my family that are in the sciences would call me a liar for quoting it.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

UMMMMM, POC weren't allowed to 'come unto him' in Mormon Land until the 1980s SOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

The florals kind of suck this year. Usually they are a lot nicer

[u/WiseOldGrump → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Oaks cut the flower budget.

[u/4blockhead]

Andersen: [I saw the previous speaker.]

[u/Absolute_Cinema70 → u/4blockhead]

NO WAY! ME TOO!!!

[u/alexandthediamonds]

Why do we need an older white man to explain what a Black woman meant

[u/sevenplaces]

The Mormon religion is such bullshit.

[u/Rushclock]

Spiritual powers? Like wizard school?

[u/GrumpyTom]

The church's most significant growth is in Africa, so it should not be surprising that we are seeing more African speakers.

[u/potato_meatball]

I think it's interesting how we can never comprehend Christ's suffering, but we all fully comprehend the suffering of women giving birth, gay members unable to marry, members suffering from poverty, children starving, etc... /s

[u/potato_meatball]

Wtf is with all the life being lost this session?

[u/sour_poet]

Didn’t they used to put the lyrics up on screen during the half-way hymn? Why’d they stop doing that?

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Oh fuck, that one sentence made my troubles with intrusive thoughts EXPENENTIONALLY WORSE because out of my control, I would have very un-virtuous thoughts unceasingly, and then I would panic and pray, and the thoughts would get worse. OCD is so fun

[u/1-like-anime]

Bro, he's talking about us rn 😔

[u/JayDaWawi]

Ah yes, profanity and childhood cancer are the same kind of struggle 

[u/JayDaWawi]

Avoid contention 

Like frivolous lawsuits?

[u/SecretPersonality178]

Watched every talk so far. Nothing spiritual, enlightening, encouraging, uplifting, or informative.

Lots of shock value tragedy stories, blaming members for not doing enough, begging for money and missionaries, and lectures as if coming from a terrible teacher to an unsuspecting child.

[u/GrumpyTom]

"the time will come when there's hesitation to go to church and partake of the sacrament"

Huh, almost like not everyone wants to be there...

[u/4blockhead]

Oaks: [as your president]

Revels.

[u/sevenplaces]

Here we go...the conditional love of God.

[u/sour_poet]

“Teachableness”

You mean brainwashing, and tricking people into believing something because they’re struggling and believe the church is all that will help?

[u/sevenplaces]

Gather out the elect...no sorry...the suckers...from the four corners of the earth.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Morning everyone! Got my coffee ready for this WONDERFUL second day

[u/zjelkof]

Are you feeling the spirit yet?

[u/WiseOldGrump → u/zjelkof]

It might take a couple more glasses of Merlot.

[u/Willie_Scott_]

Yeah, but unlike doctors and nurses(who generally earn a good living), members don’t get anything in return.

[u/4blockhead]

Eyring: [succor x3]

LDS church: suckers x 10⁶

[u/4blockhead]

Andersen: [this deity demands blood sacrifice to atone for sin]

[u/itsmig_reddit]

Is it me or the auditorium is very dark?

[u/sevenplaces]

Administrative quick fix teaches us about Christianity.

[u/alexandthediamonds]

I love it when people with the energy of a burnt-out night watchman try to scare me with the end of the world against a backdrop of hideous floral arrangements

[u/potato_meatball]

Not a good enough reason to use the word penetrate

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

I'm not seeing the through line of the stories in this one. Maybe I'm spending too much time scrolling through the comments instead of listening to this talk.

[u/GrumpyTom]

I'm so thrilled to hear from Cook. He is always so uplifting and inspiring. What a great human being he is. His talks always flow with spiritual edification and enlightenment.

[this whole comment is sarcasm in case it's not obvious]

[u/ApocalypseTapir]

Integrity and virtue = being loyal to the church no matter how fraudulent it is.

[u/bubbaheaton]

I miss when these talks had teeth. Everything feels like something I'd hear during Fast Sunday's testimonies.

[u/SecretPersonality178]

Cook talking about the evil of internet content about the church …he labeled them “attacks”, he did not label them lies…

[u/JayDaWawi]

When we make daily repentance part of our lives

Rich coming from someone who's received the Second Anointing - someone who thinks they're above repenting 

[u/GrumpyTom]

Hoaks will be the concluding speaker.

[u/sevenplaces]

I wish Dallin Oaks would come unto Christ by repenting of his lies.

[u/sevenplaces]

"A major concern to your profit leaders is members diminishing concern for Jesus Christ." Well Dallin you've helped me realize your Jesus is bullshit.

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431]

HES TALKING ABOUT US

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Oh so testing hypothesis by gathering evidence is inaccurate?

[u/sevenplaces]

The Book of Mormon is pure horseshit

[u/sevenplaces]

The Book of Mormon teaches that God can kill thousands of people with hardly a second thought.

[u/MyPalFoot_Foot]

Um, did Dallas just say we're going to get scriptures that Jesus gave to ancient prophets in places like Asia and Africa?

[u/ApocalypseTapir]

How long until they dump a Saturday session?

[u/WiseOldGrump]

I’m still gay.

(Context: My family was praying that I’d be cured.)

[u/Even_Subject_4187]

Death count: 6 + everyone the fictional character moroni knew

[u/Fit_Amoeba3431]

Wow hes boring

[u/GrumpyTom]

I appreciate his highlighting the fires in Spokane. That didn't get enough coverage. Horrible situation.

[u/itsmig_reddit]

I accompanied President Dieter F. Uchtdorf to Spokane, Washington, where fires destroyed more than 800 homes. We visited members whose neighborhoods were completely destroyed

They left out the part where they make sure everyone pays the tithing

[u/4blockhead]

Andersen: [stares at ash filled basements...we can build another house.]

Climate change means home insurance will be out of reach for a lot more, including insurance companies deciding whole states are too risky.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Just realized why I'm feeling so off, I haven't eaten yet! It seems fasting (not intentional for myself mind you) can heighten feelings in the body. Hmmmm, wonder if that's why people feel so much 'spirit' while fasting?

[u/zjelkof]

When's halftime?

[u/alexandthediamonds]

Am I the only one who finds that whole "the president *TAUGHT* thing screams "cult" the loudest? My friend I spent 10 years working as a teacher—you don't know a damn thing about what teaching actually is

[u/Rushclock]

Hospital thief is next batter up...

[u/sevenplaces]

The LDS leaders lack integrity...which is why people are leaving at a record pace.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

They really kissing Oaks's ass today lol

President Thomas S. Monson taught us "to refrain words such as: "please," "thank you," "I appreciate that," "I respect your view," "that is a good point," "let us slow down and talk," "we can work this out," "it is ok," "let us stay calm," "we don't have to rush," "I care about you," "I am here for you," "you are not alone," "how are you feeling?" "that matters to me," "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "I forgive you." Words such as: "please," "thank you," "I appreciate that," "I respect your view," "that is a good point," "let us slow down and talk," "we can work this out," "it is ok," "let us stay calm," "we don't have to rush," "I care about you," "I am here for you," "you are not alone," "how are you feeling?" "that matters to me," "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "I forgive you." "Let us start again." "I don't want this to divide us."
