Pres Oaks face-to-face starts in a little than 3 hours.
Is anyone here planning on watching it? Its target is the youth, and I'm wondering if he is going to touch on LGBTQ or the apparent change in the Honor Code at BYU.

It’s just explaining more about the “new” revamped youth program. I’ll watch it. It’s interesting to see to what non-doctrinal things the leaders of the church say. These new face-to-face events are very “corporate” styled.

Yeah I feel like that. There's two Christs, the true Christ and the corporate Christ. And they just feel so far removed from each other.

Thank you.
I wonder if 'lds.org' will change to 'cjc.org' (church of jesus christ).

The face-to-face thing always rubbed me the wrong way. It's too branded. I mean, nothing about it is actually face-to-face or one-on-one. And the emoji winky face thing is cringy.
We really need to stop calling things by descriptors that are false.
I'm 100% okay with broadcasts and events. So let's call them what they are. On this note, I'm 100% okay with continuing revelation (or inspired changes), that doesn't mean we need to call it an "Ongoing Restoration" unless we can specifically enumerate WHAT is being restored (something the Earth had before that we are still missing). If it's entirely new doctrine, then don't say it's restored.
Let us use words that make sense.
