No masks because everyone attending conference was required to have a negative Covid testSubcomandante wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:04 am The conference has started, President Henry B. Eyring directing.
Remarks:
Looks like a full house for choir, no masks present. A LOT of empty seating in the upper rows.

The members do deserve to know how their money is being spent.

This is actually quite a sum of money compared with previous years.Hosh wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:22 amNo but the first Big P to speak is bragging about how much money ("almost one Billion!") we donated to the poor last year.Mamabear wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:01 amWill the big Ps prophesy today at conference?

There’s literally no such thing as small-p and big-p prophets. Hebrew doesn’t even have capital letters for starters. I know that you’re using a figure of speech, but the idea is still ridiculous.Subcomandante wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 8:30 amHaving the ability to declare Jesus as your Savior is exhibiting the spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:10).

One can/could consider himself a prophet because he had prophecies.
“If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 14:37
“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.”
1 Corinthians 14:1
“I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied.” 1 Corinthians 14:5
This follows the words of Moses, “And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!”
Numbers 11:29
Can you imagine this language today given by the 12? “I would that all would prophesy.”
No, they would never utter such a thing.
There are many prophets who are not called by a church, who commune with Christ. This is the Lord’s way.

If you care about knowing where your money is going, donate it directly to the poor yourself. Giving it to the church and turning a blind eye is not the best way to help those in need.Christianlee wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:24 amThe members do deserve to know how their money is being spent.

No one is begging the church for numbers. They didn't reveal anything just now we didn't already know. They gave less than 1% of what they have to the poor and the needy while spending much much more building temples, investing in Babylon, building luxury shopping malls, etc.Subcomandante wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:26 am(Church is quiet on figures): Hey, I see your beautiful temples, but what do you do to help the poor?!?endlessismyname wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:25 amHow so?

Ah, I see. I’m not worried about what dissatisfied members say. My post is about what my Master taught, vs. what President Oaks did.

And this is exactly why the pro-LGBTQ Mormons teach that being gay is not a mistake, and there is no need to change anything about their orientation, while telling us homophobes that our attitudes are the things that need to change.Subcomandante wrote: ↑October 1st, 2022, 10:27 am Elder Uchtdorf telling the youth not to expect Christ to justify your mistakes or your attitudes, but will work with them to change them.
