Re: General Conference October 2022 - Saturday Live Thread and Recap
This floral arrangement has me kind of stumped but I’m picking up maybe an undersea vibe. An ode to climate change, perhaps. It’s got that international flavor but I’m not convinced that it’s cohesive - - kind of like the iron and clay of the toes belonging to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream image.

If that was all he was saying I might agree, but given his past talks and this one, even if it was standing alone, he really pushes that we should not bother to pray about what the prophet or leaders says. We should just obey. Since the prophets sometime contradict the scriptures and the revelation God has already given me, I absolutely will pray and go with God's answer.spiritMan wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 2:27 pmI don't believe that was Elder Renlund's purpose.JuneBug12000 wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 2:23 pm I was sorely disappointed in Elder Renlund's talk today.

I think what he was saying is that somethings you don't need to say a specific formal prayer about.
"Hey God tells me that you should help me go murder this person. You should pray to ask God to confirm this."
I don't need to say a specific prayer to know that this is wrong. Why would I ask God about this; it makes no sense.
I know His voice. I know His fruit. I know my God and He knows me.
I notice they often say pray for confirmation of truth instead of asking if something is true. He gave some extreme examples. People who obviously were not "trying the spirits." Like that is the issue most at struggling with.
The more common problem is that the leaders are not addressing the issues of the day in the way that the Lord has taught, but change the doctrine and then acting like those of us who remember the truth are crazy, lazy, extreme, or whatever. Doctrines they taught and stood up for in the past, but no more. Yeah, change the doctrine and I will absolutely pray to know if those who call themselves apostles and prophets are correct or not. Unfortunately, the Lord has not told me to change, but hold fast to truth.
Joseph was questioning the leaders of his day and rejecting, with great opposition, the philosophies of men mingles with scripture. Was he wrong?
We live in Lehi's Jerusalem again. And like Laman and Lemuel claiming that Lehi was too judgemental and the people of Jerusalem righteous, today many would say the people like Renlund are righteous and those who would leave the wicked for a promised land are just too judgemental.
I will stand with God over man. I will not cease to pray.
I immediately grabbed my scripture at the end of his talk and read 2 Nephi 32 to my kids.

Do you think a husband has authority over his wife in directing what she does with dinner, or bed-time, with how she teaches her children, with how she chooses to make rules for them, in how she does certain chores? You would think that if he presides over her he would make sure she was doing everything "right." And she had no authority to make sure was doing things "right."endlessismyname wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 5:43 pmI sincerely wish you all the best in establishing anything useful with that philosophy while simultaneously testifying that you’ll never establish anything useful while practicing that philosophy.Sarah wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 4:43 pmPerhaps the true "generational damage" is what has been assumed to be true by past generations, but is actually a false tradition.

I think the true principle is that both partners can and should share in the job of presiding and nurturing. The key is realizing that we are presiding over different family functions and activities, and not over people, which implies that people are subjects that don't have agency. So for example, instead of thinking that you preside over your children, thinking that that means they have a duty to obey you because "you preside" over them, the truth is that you preside over teaching them the gospel and you preside over protecting and providing. You preside over meetings. You can preside as partners with your wife in discipline and punishment if needed, but your wife has equal authority over something like that.
We each have different strengths that make each of us more suited for different jobs, which makes us naturally responsible to preside over that job. But we are equal partners because we both preside over different jobs. I preside over childbearing for example, as my husband presides over providing. We both can nurture, but I preside over child-care decisions. The husband can preside over protecting, and leading the family to gospel ordinances. But we each can share in the responsibility of presiding over different jobs. The job of the one presiding is also to make sure everyone feels equally respected in a council setting, is feeling heard, loved and united in agreement. If there is some disagreement, it's a false tradition to just say that the one presiding gets to go forward with whatever he or she wants. The Lord isn't going to bless that presiding officer if someone else in the group has already had the inspired idea, and the one presiding ignores is.
So instead of thinking you preside over your wife, the truth is that you preside over loving your wife and caring for her physical needs. Your wife presides over giving you children.
I know that the idea that one group of people has been delegated authority over another group of people by divine design is a difficult one to swallow. I for one wish it wasn’t so, and indeed, most men I work with don’t even try to fulfill their roles due to the conflict it introduces into their families. But it is as it is, and any attempt to wrest the doctrine will only lead to sorrow… even if one of the prophets preaches a different philosophy at conference.

I think you should spend some more time learning about what it means to preside. I’m sorry if your life has been full of men who have led you to believe that this is what presiding means.

I’m sorry if your life has been full of men who have led you to believe that this is what presiding means. I can see why you’d be wary of letting a man preside under those conditions.Sarah wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 7:13 pm
Do you think a husband has authority over his wife in directing what she does with dinner, or bed-time, with how she teaches her children, with how she chooses to make rules for them, in how she does certain chores? You would think that if he presides over her he would make sure she was doing everything "right." And she had no authority to make sure was doing things "right."
Proper leadership sets direction, tone and example.

An evil spirit teaches a man not to pray.
I think what he was saying is that somethings you don't need to say a specific formal prayer about.
"Hey God tells me that you should help me go murder this person. You should pray to ask God to confirm this."
I don't need to say a specific prayer to know that this is wrong. Why would I ask God about this; it makes no sense.
I know His voice. I know His fruit. I know my God and He knows me.
I notice they often say pray for confirmation of truth instead of asking if something is true. He gave some extreme examples. People who obviously were not "trying the spirits." Like that is the issue most at struggling with.
The more common problem is that the leaders are not addressing the issues of the day in the way that the Lord has taught, but change the doctrine and then acting like those of us who remember the truth are crazy, lazy, extreme, or whatever. Doctrines they taught and stood up for in the past, but no more. Yeah, change the doctrine and I will absolutely pray to know if those who call themselves apostles and prophets are correct or not. Unfortunately, the Lord has not told me to change, but hold fast to truth.
Joseph was questioning the leaders of his day and rejecting, with great opposition, the philosophies of men mingles with scripture. Was he wrong?
We live in Lehi's Jerusalem again. And like Laman and Lemuel claiming that Lehi was too judgemental and the people of Jerusalem righteous, today many would say the people like Renlund are righteous and those who would leave the wicked for a promised land are just too judgemental.
I will stand with God over man. I will it cease to pray.
I immediately grabbed my scripture at the end of his talk and read 2 Nephi 32 to my kids.
Looking back I also see they never teach about false prophets of our day that Christ warned about. I wonder why.

I’ve never heard anything like that at GC or any church meeting. It was always “follow your leaders.” Repeated especially during covid.
