The real truth is that an apostolic witness is one wherein the person has seen the suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ in vision. If you have seen that, you have an apostolic witness (don't ask the source; I forget. Possibly in some institute class years ago).endlessismyname wrote: ↑October 2nd, 2022, 10:22 am “Apostolic witness”
There’s that mushy terminology again.
Elder Holland, what’s the difference between an apostolic witness, and my witness?

It will be a breath of fresh air. Oh there are actual men who are church leaders who call sin for what it is and are not placating with cotton candy . . .man it's nice.
Anyone who thinks the Church has not radically changed conduct the following experiment.
Go tell your non-LDS friends and colleagues that we have openly homosexual missionaries. Just see what reaction you get.

Remember D&C 1:24--31. That should be enough to tell you the Lord reigns. The sieve is being set up as we speak. Soon enough the Lord will speak. Fear that day, One thing is for sure: only the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has the priesthood of God. In spite of having such pitiful elders and priests. Anyone who puts this in doubt will end up knowing it is true, even if too late.
I'm simply asking our Church leaders to stand for what has already been revealed in a clear and authoritative way.
The truth about church history
The truth about the deadly-jab
The truth about Joseph Smith
The truth that prophets CAN and have lead people astray
ANYONE can preach of Jesus...even Jim and Tammy Baker did that.

Re: General Conference October 2022 - Sunday Live Thread and Recap
Oaks first twist the question in to a question he likes by "interpretating" the question to be about getting a testimony like Alma the younger where an angel or a heavenly being appeared. Oaks says he has never had an experience like Paul did or Alma the younger and he doesn't know of anyone in the 12 who has. He thinks things like an angel appearing or Jesus appearing like to Paul is exceptional and that God gave these special experiences to "get our attention" (btw, such a retarded thing to assert as an apostle) and Oaks has a powerful implication that these are not to be expected and that a testimony (his twisting of the original question so he is making an argument of irrelevance in context) like Alma the younger can be had without the experiences of Alma the younger.

He became emotional when he said this. It doesn’t look to me like this will be his last conference though someone else posted earlier they thought his Sunday morning talk seemed like it would be his last. Maybe it will be and maybe he knows this. Though it could merely be that he truly loves us (I believe he does) and that the closing song is God Be With You Till We Meet Agains.Russell M Nelson wrote: I love you. May God be with you till we meet again.
