Just a last tidbit from E. Holland’s training last Saturday...
E. Holland told the story about a guy who came into possession of a large beautiful Pearl.
It was one of a kind. Exceedingly rare and valuable. Worth more than a common man could earn in a lifetime.
The guy loved the Pearl so much, he commissioned a display box be made. The box was to display the Pearl and provide protection and safe keeping for the valuable Pearl inside.
The finest craftsman designed, worked and created an incredible wooden box, so ornate and remarkable that no one had ever seen anything like it.
People far and wide came to see the Pearl, and most of the visitors were taken more by the elegance and esthetic of the ornate and remarkable display box, that all wonderment and comments revolved around the display box..
The Pearl paled within the display box...
E. Holland said we need to pay way less attention to the box, and focus on the Pearl...
What does he think is the box that distracts from the pearl?

He actually said to pay less attention to the Church, and more attention to the Savior...

These trainings are quite normal.
TBH, it is a way to corral the mentality of the obedient. You don't get into those positions without being church broke to some degree.
You mean I will never climb the leadership ladder

Way to crush my aspirations.
