Sunday Afternoon NOMference!!!

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.

LOL, the nicest thing Uchtdorf can say about the proclamation is that he likes the languages it is translated into?

If only most members were as inviting as Dieter suggests - the moment you go off script, off go the Mormons. It's a challenge, Dieter. Acknowledge it at least. Sorry buddy, -5.

no. as you strive to become a morgbot you will be supported, but not the best individual you can be. Deviate from the norm and you will be ostracized.

Again, sorry buddy. All we've heard this conference is leader worship and bragging about assignments. Once again, -5. I'm at +5 generally for his wonderful, yet naive optimism.

The God, Dieter speaks of seems to have little in common with the one Oaks talks about.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

I cannot remember who noted that often GC talks are directed to the other 14 as much as the membership.

I would like SOME of my questions answered, Dieter. Question #1 I want answered is "Why does God hate women so much?"

It was in D Michael Quinn's book Extensions of Power, with Hugh B Brown and ETB lobbing bombs at each other about the John Birch Society during conference in the 1950s.

Oaks and Uchtdorf are less direct. I still think they give talks trying to influence their colleagues.

And in our time there was GBH "calm down Rusty, it's not that big of a deal if we call ourselves Mormon."

Unfortunately all Rusty had to do to win THAT one was not die.

True. More nuanced than what Quinn was talking about.
