"Season 4" of the Book of Mormon videos. When did we start labeling them with Seasons like they are some TV show. And what happened to seasons 1-3?
Seems like a lame attempt to hide the fact that the church actually stopped this project on their own because of their ridiculous COVID response. Haven't you all been super excited for "Season 4?" The end of season 3 was such a cliff hanger!

They made Jesus look like some kid that just graduated the online MTC program. I bet Jesus was way more masculine. The depiction in The Chosen was probably closer to reality.

Re: This church is super lame
It’s been pretty lame for a while. At least it used to have good things for fellowshipping when I was a kid. Scouts, 4th of July stake parties, stake softball, capture the flag, etc. Used to actually stand for Doctrine, and be counter pop culture. Now it’s just a liberal Christian denomination with nothing enjoyable, which stands for nothing.
Feels kind of like having your privates in a vice grip and being told it’s God’s plan. I left after our Bishop was a mask &#%! and told us we still mask up this year. Not going back to Liberal Democratic Saints.

He reminded me of my millennial niece more than Christ. Like he was emotionally over acting instead of sincere and weak instead of meek.
Not Christ for sure.

Re: This church is super lame
As lame as you guys claim the Church is, it seems like its critics are growing ever lamer, no matter where on the political spectrum they might fall.
I mean, many here are flying themselves to pieces trying to explain any subject where they feel like the Church has gone astray without noticing that perhaps it is them that are going astray. Quite a few of you were offended at the talks, as well as the Church actions during the Nelson presidency.

Re: This church is super lame
I don't think the church is lame. But I think it is getting very diluted and generic. And I find it increasingly rife with contradictions and incongruence in word and action.Subcomandante wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2022, 5:34 pmJoseph Smith had evidence of his prophethood. Russell M.

Statements like you just made are really interesting to me. I hear this type of thing a lot, but then can never get anyone to specifically support it.
Joseph Smith claimed to see and speak with God. Russell Nelson has ....
Joseph Smith produced the Book of Mormon. Russell Nelson has ...
Joseph Smith produced many revelations. Russell Nelson has...
Joseph Smith produced the Pearl of Great Price. Russell Nelson has ...
Joseph Smith healed many people who were critically ill by the power of the priesthood. Rusell Nelson has...
Joseph Smith prophesied about future events, including the civil war. Russell Nelson has...
I believe Russell nelson holds the keys to run this church. I think this is unquestionable. But when he is repeatedly referred to as a Prophet (which seems to include seeing and revelating), there really is nothing there by which to measure the man.
I realize that many people claimed a witness of the Spirit that he is s Prophet. Since those statements and experiences are subjective, I clearly cannot speak to them. But it seems that these witnesses come entirely devoid of any supporting, measurable evidence which the Lord normally provides. Otherwise known as fruit. This conference, I heard a lot of "I know's" and "I testify" about Russell Nelson from the other apostles and GA's. But I dont think any of them bothered to explain how they know or provide any supporting evidence.

Re: This church is super lame
I still think it was the best conference in a looooong time . . . the old farts rallied their canes and walkers .. . . we didn't have to hear about the covenant path or the name of the church. nor resillience, nor consecration. which I could care less about
they actually taught at a young adult level rather than a primary level . . .anyway most did . . .what do y'all expect . . . they are old farts repeating the same things or newly called trying to prove themselves. hahahahaha

Re: This church is super lame
one of the biggest natural curses that they all carry for the last days is their wealth.
None one would be able to convince me that in the last 30 years people get into medicine to help others or into law to help others.
Few people really have in the last 30 years. . all over the world. They get into these professions cuz they are the highest paid.
These people will have the hardest time seeing all their wealth, material and banked gone and their professions not helpful. There will also be some poor people who covet and they will be struggling, too.
everything that this society is based on will be turned upside down . . .its not getting any better
people who worship the things of this world will be sadly disappointed . . .its gonna get rough
I think RMN having his sad face and playing god be with you slowly was not very nice. I think he wanted us to believe he was a gonner. Wendy did such a great job of blocking those authorities who were trying to leave the stage. I think it was the last meeting. She grabs old Russel then blocks him from moving and makes him wave at somebody for a few mintues and won't let him pass. she must be taking notes from Jill B. Gotta direct the big man . . .what a show anymore

Re: This church is super lame
It has always been considered a very important group of meetings with short talks by all the current apostles and other general authority leaders. The talks are published in print and online, and are used as the basis of local church meeting classes and talks (short sermons).AkalAish wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2022, 8:54 pmIs it something that LDS people are required to attend?
When I was younger, it was not as revered as it is today. If you lived outside Utah you had to wait for the print version (no computers back then) and the talks were not used as the basis for local lessons. The only time there was ever really any buzz was when an authority said we shouldn’t play games with face cards, or women shouldn’t work outside the home if possible. Now they make memes and T-shirts out of quotes from the talks. Some people (not most of us here) say the talks are modern scripture.

Re: This church is super lame
What she was talking about is that during every semi-annual conference, the names of the general authorities are read, and we are asked if we sustain them, and signify by raising our hand. I guess some people do this alone in their homes.......?!?!

Re: This church is super lame
If RMN is still here in April, I predict he will do something similar. Perform as though it is his last conference. Then when it actually is the last one, people can rerun it and say, “He KNEW it was his last conference! He really was a profit!”EvanLM wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2022, 8:50 pm one of the biggest natural curses that they all carry for the last days is their wealth.

Re: This church is super lame
You see, JuneBug, this is how it works: you don't actually need the Holy Ghost to guide you, since it, in turn, can be judged by what a group of men tell you it should be telling you. Just go to the source, and eliminate the middle man. Or ghost, as it were.Subcomandante wrote: ↑October 3rd, 2022, 5:09 pm If it were truly your companion it would not be leading you astray from the established Church.
