I’m watching soccer. I couldn’t stomach watching another session. Probably best for my health as both oaks and Bednar are in this session.

So, the logical conclusion of this movement to home churching is that you really don't need to go on Sunday anymore, I guess. I can see the upside to this.

Or, he's basically saying that you can't expect THEM to teach you the right way. (Only to correct you when you don't get it right.)

Bednar misquoting JS and leaving out that "Presbyterianism isn't true".

Okay Dave. How about this. I have learned for myself that the church is not for me and I don’t believe it. I am well enough off.
The church has engineered your eternal family into a commodity that can be purchased with an annual fee. The fact that full tithing payment is a requirement for saving ordinances is the biggest red flag imaginable. Hagoth

-50 on Oaks because even my believing husband said he is just horrible, and turned the sound off, then mimicked his stern continence. If believers can’t stand it, it must be bad. I was reading, so I only 1/4 listened.

Never have liked Oaks.

And I am sorry, but I can’t give my points during the talks, but am always posting after the fact, but if I type with DH right there, he asks what I am saying, but now that Bednar is yacking I can leave....oh, DH left the room.

I guess -50 for Bednar because a believer can’t stand him.

Edited to explain why I was apologizing.

Gong gets +20 for a Christ centered talk and +50 for not having the “Conference Voice”.

Wow Alas! It's so interesting to hear you describe your husband's reactions....and he's a believing member!

+10 for saying don't believe what others tell you.

-20 for not adding "especially me"

Feels like he is justifying MTC closures and other consolidations of branches and wards like is happening in Europe.

Bednar is falsely implying that we should not talk specifically about the covenants we make. I really disagree. How can you covenant on the spot, to something you don’t know about ahead of time.

I bumped into a member of the ward last night who asked what I thought of the missionary change. Since I have not listened to much of conference I wasn't sure what they were talking about. They claimed the duration for boys is now a choice between 18 and 24 months. Was this actually announced, or are they just parroting a rumor?

It's all good. :) As long as you include the speakers name with the points, I'll figure it out.
