What do you think should be the ratio between the repent and non-repent ones, considering this is a list of 98 pieces of counsel given by Russell M Nelson since becoming president of the church?
A careful study of the scriptures shows plenty of examples where ancient prophets prophesied of the wickedness in the last days. And they give very specific examples as to where and how we need to repent. That would be a good start to at minimum point out the wickedness in our day.
You didn’t answer my question.

So Russell M Nelson doesn’t point out the wickedness in our day the way you wish he would? From my perspective, he does point out the wickedness, rather in an encouraging and optimistic way. He mainly focuses on the commandments and blessings, not the sin its consequence.

If there’s something in the righteous counsel Russell M Nelson has gives that I’m not but ought to be doing, then that’s a call to repentance to me. That’s pointing out my wickedness.
If the counsel comws from me, sure. But for someone on tv that does not interact with u personally, that is a test of your discernment.

Dont be scared of wickedness. It is here to benefit ur soul. Not ur human but ur soul

We all tend to form a god in our own image.

If RMN makes it to 100 will he be the first to make it? Is he already the oldest church president?

Edited to add: I just answered my own question. Yes, he is already the oldest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_p ... day_Saints

Previously it was GBH.

The op was made Sept 9th. Here in the U.S. Sept 9 is tomorrow. If he's still alive, he'll be 99 tomorrow. He's slowly making his way to 100, and surely a huge birthday bash will be in the works if he makes it to that age.

lol.
as if that has anything to do with it.

More like the other guy - so Nelson can lead more people astray with his godsend.

btw
Nelson is in good company though.
"god must really love George Soros to get him to 93",
but I guess not quite as much as the young boy that died
because his parents put their faith in Nelson and his godsend.
