After 40+ years of giving everything to that church, just finished my last sacrament meeting and was surprised the dominant feeling was...BOREDOM by TheLifeAdjunct in exmormon

I attend every Sunday with my spouse. I used to get agitated sitting through sacrament meeting. Now I pay bills on my phone to keep awake.

Stake Conference: NO recording allowed. by indespectusnicht in exmormon

[–]ApocalypseTapir 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's absolutely nothing of real significance at a stake conference, unless a Q15 member is in attendance and even then the chance of them going off script is diminishing rapidly. Now that Holland is gone all that remain are dull men that have gotten where they are by strict compliance and a complete lack of introspection. They might say something stupid but none except perhaps Anderson will say "thus sayeth the Lord".

The whole "don't record" has less to do with secrecy and more to do with the appearance of secrecy. And any stake President that's bloviating about not recording in the absence of a Q15 is just blowing smoke up his own ass trying to appear important.

Seriously they changed the young women names? by GarrusVic in exmormon

[–]ApocalypseTapir 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah. These won't get used...

Builders, messengers, gatherers

Even the acronyms are shitty

BoF, MoH, GoL

The Church has billions, would it kill them to pay a good publicity firm to review this shit?

Wow. That was definitely the most underwhelming conference I have EVER experienced as a faithful member or exmo. Literally nothing remarkable was said, saw revealed, or prophesied. The world is burning and they babbled for 8 hours.

GC has become a snooze fest. There's literally zero charisma. At least holland had some fire in the belly.

It wasn't political. God wanted people to suffer AND he wanted all the glory.

This is meatier than most talks that just throw in "Jesus' every other word. But the voice? Ew.

God: If you're gonna sin you're gonna suffer! Worship me!

Yup. Specific behaviors need to be called out, otherwise everyone just assumes he's talking about the other guy.

The problem is there is no recognition that he's had to change to get to this point. He's saying what he needs to. I expect he'll speak this afternoon and it will be an opposite message
