Uchtdorf just welcomed those of us tuning in on the internet. Thus, my wife should stop chastizing me for watching conference and blogging simultaneously. AB |
What about blogging during the opening prayer? |
[...] April 5, 2008 178th Annual General Conference Saturday Afternoon Session Posted by Guy Murray under General Conference, LDS Church, Prophet, Revelation, Thomas B. Monson | Tags: General Conference, LDS Church, Prophet, Revelation, Thomas S. Monson | The Saturday afternoon session of the Church’s General Conference is about to get underway. I very much enjoyed this morning’s historic Solemn Assembly session. The Spirit was strong, the talks timely. For bloggernacle open threads on this afternoon’s conference check out Times and Seasons, By Common Consent, Mormon Mentality, [...] |
The audit person referred to D&C Section 120, which is short (one verse long). It reads:
|
Much needed advice about what a testimony is from Oaks. |
summary of statistical report: 352 new wards/branches 224,393 new members - 1.7% increase since last year, down from 2-3% in prior years 478 fewer missionaries, yet slight increase in # of converts baptized net decrease in # of 8-year-olds baptized (consistent with general trend of the birth rate dropping by half since the 1970s) |
And yet isn’t it the failure of many members to internalize what constitutes a testimony the very fact that makes our testimony meetings so enjoyable and unpredictable? AB |
Aaron I would have not thought of it that way. I guess one might also say it gives us some snootyness to hold over others. |
Aaron: Good point. There are a lot of people who have gone on vacations or who have health problems that we’d have no idea about but for their misunderstanding of what testimony meeting is for. I would have never known that a guy in my ward was a Nick Lachey fan had he not taken the opportunity to quote his lyrics during testimony meeting. |
Jon, huh? |
I dont know if it is just me but this seems to be a kind of dry talk. Sorry Elder Oaks. |
Aaron, What I meant to say was that I would never have thought it something to be interesting to have people go all over the place with their testimony. My second line was more of statement that we (me included)enjoy ridiculing others who seek to give a “testimony” and I wondered if that is just intellectual snootyness. |
Jon W., Man, I thought E. Oaks talk was absolutely wonderful, but that could be because it was on a topic I enjoy (and have been contemplating for some time). |
For me, Oaks was Dy-no-mite. |
Is it a prediction to guess that Elder Scott will give a talk about forgiveness, or is that just stating the obvious? |
Elder Amado is a Guatemalan general authority. I remember him well. |
Does hanging a picture of the FP in your home make you more likely to live a Christlike life? I’m inclined to think it doesn’t. |
It’s interesting that President Monson did not choose to give a talk during the first two sessions of conference. I assume we’ll hear him speak in the priesthood session … |
No, but maybe people who live a Christlike like life are more inclined to hang a picture of the FP in their home. I dunno. |
Ok.. can someone show me how to do a quote?!?!? - I’ll check back after Priesthood |
Got you covered, Bryan. |
Bryan, Here’s how I do my blockquotes: |
Bryan (19): I’m living the most Christ-like life possible, and I don’t have a picture of the FP hanging in my home. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it. |
I always have assumed that people who hang ONLY temple pics, Prophet pics, and other church-approved posters on their walls do so because they haven’t got a clue about anythng artistic. |
At the same time, there are people who are spiritual who do hang those pictures. So don’t turn this into an indictment of FP picture hanging… |
Paperback, maybe they just feel they need a bit of extra help. |
Tagore #23, Can I borrow your pipe? |
Anyone know why Iring is using a cane? |
Self defense? |

I wonder if anyone else realized what a momentous shift Elder Scott’s talk represented, with regard to the church’s response to both abusers and the abused. It was great. |
Seth, LOL! |
Chuck, I hope to eventually do a post on Elder Scott’s talk, after I have the text of it so that I can look at it more carefully. |
Eyring has a cane because he broke his foot soon after Pres Hinckley’s death. He was supposed to attend the Idaho Temple Dedication and in the DesNews it stated he couldn’t because he had just broken his foot. |
