The boys are thanked visibly every week for their service. The recognition girls get seems forced if it comes at all. I hope my daughter knows she is so wonderful.

Squeezing your kids hands until they grimace in pain as a game?

Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

To sum it up:

They aren't revealing stats anymore in GC. You can probably find them buried somewhere on LDS.org or in the next Ensign.

Some hero yelled "Stop protecting sexual predators!!" You can watch it here:

Bednar 0
Godoy -5
Oscarson +35
Wakolo +5
Durrant -10
Renlund 0

The morning session kind of drained me.

Didn't President Nelson speak in either session? I would have thought he'd have at least briefly addressed the members.

He also would be the one to announce any new temples, right? Maybe that'll happen tomorrow (if there are any to announce).

Thanks again, MoPag....so many on here appreciate you doing this!!

No stats!!!

It's happened!!!
I take it the numbers have continued their decline. I figured they'd continue to decrease but I didn't think we'd get to the point this soon where they would stop reporting them. Interesting. I wonder if we'll get to see them or if it's just one more thing down the memory hole.

You would think that a major conference such as this would be time to discuss them and talk about what they mean, to reassure the membership. If they're going to just release them later they give up the chance to get their message out, to rally the troops. If they report them later, they turn the opportunity for messaging to the media, traditional and new. The story will be written by others, even if the Church puts out a press release on it. In particular, their top leaders have abandoned the opportunity to speak directly, once again demonstrating their cowardice and their lack of leadership. I suppose maybe they figure that the faithful members will be oblivious as long as they bury the lede and it won't be a news story so the traditional media won't bother reporting it.
