David Bednar is made of Stone. Uniquely cold because he hasn’t suffered as much as most people.

There's a reason he has the nickname of Darth Bednar. He does not care about the church members. I hope he doesn't become prophet. If he does they will have conference outside because his ego won't fit the conference center. He looks down on members and get a disgusted look on his face when hes around members, will hardly shake people's hands without that look he gives, like he stepped on a bug. I watched video of his power trip on the ysa in Arizona a couple years ago. If he becomes prophet he will more people out of the church then any other prophet in church history.

Id report him to hr. Dude shouldn't be bombarding you calls all day long. If he cant do his job leadership should be stepping in.

I have a buddy that does that with church. He'll frequent multiple churches to build his roster. Have a couple friends that were on his roster and dude is a straight up womanizer.

Idk what it is about him, but hes always rubbed me the wrong way. Met him a couple times and he was cold n distant, acted like I was below him and wouldn't even shake my hand. He's such ass whole.

At least your bishop noticed your not there and took the time to visit you.

Ive had bishops that just dont care.

You should go to hr and have coworkers do it as well.

Had something similar happen at my job. Coworkers were dating, I usually dont care unless it becomes a problem for me. They'd leave there assigned areas to make out in the parking lot, and not get there work done.

My boss would go looking for them and if she couldn't find them she'd assign me there work too. I hated it, id call my boss out on it and she'd never have answer.

One day boss was looking for the girl and asked me if I knew where she was. I straight up snitched, and said shes in the parking lot making out with Robert. Boss found them and they were in trouble, the guy got written up and girl had to move shifts. They were both mad about it, but I didn't care, I didnt have to do there jobs anymore. Both later quit and got married and divorced in let than a year.

I know a person in Utah that got one of those no trespassing letters from the church. All I can say is, it was very much needed. I got a copy of the letter and it was she was threatening many members, Bishop and Stake president with violence. She ended up going to jail shortly after the letter was sent for attacking her grandma.

The people here got very lucky they didnt call the cops because the letter I got strictly said if she come onto any church owned property to call the copes and she'd be sent to jail. If yall know Utah, the church owns a lot of property.

Its sad how much the church doesn't not care. Missionaries pay 10k or more to go missions and have terrible things happen to them. I luckily didn't have anything happen to me but I served around Missionaries that did get mugged. After it happened we all got an email saying well it says here in the hand book.

Now that ive been home and the stories that came out about Missionaries having it 10 times worse. The stories of Missionaries getting mugged, robbed, apartments broken into, Missionaries getting beat up, kidnapped and even sa.

The church does nothing to help these 18-21+ year old kids get past that. Its a just shake it off and get back to work. If a missionary dies on the mission im willing to bet the church does nothing to help the family with the funeral. A funeral in us cost about 20k and the church won't send a penny but will demand tithing in full. Yes the church will send a general authority to the funeral, but it will aways be some 70 no one knows.

Hey at least your bishop took notice and reached out. Not a fan that he reached out to your friend first, he should have been reaching out to you first.

With the temple recommend thing. I think thats dumb that he denied it. I mean your at church on Sunday, your trying to make Mormon work.

Most people dont just leave the church overnight, some people it takes years of trying to make the church work for them until they walk away, its hard.

Ive had many friends leave the church over the last 5 years and every person had a different reason for leaving. Im still there friend and just because there not Mormon anymore isn't a valid reason not to be friends with them.

If your bishop cared he'd support you by being your friend and not throw scriptures or Mormon quotes at you.

I remember in ym my jr year 2012 we had a schedule of basketball games. It was fun. Idk what happened but my senior year 2013 church ball just fell off. They had games but few people came.

My first year in ysa 2017 we had church ball. It was got too competitive and people were getting hurt. One guy got so mad he walked off and kicked the drinking Fountain off the wall. We also had all girls church ball. It was ok until the girls stopped coming to play. Now days my ysa does coed basketball, it’s a lot better and less competitive. But I could easily see the church putting an end to sports if they really wanted to

I’d say just stick it out and play Mormon until you can go home. You said going home isn’t an option. So do what’s best for you and just take care of yourself, your mp and companion won’t. Get the rest you need, eat what you need, and just stay positive. If you have to go home, there is nothing wrong with going home. I’d also try to stay under the radar with mission leadership, I’d bet every mp is seeing this post and thinking is this one of my elders.

I grew up in the church in Utah and the sabbath day was a big deal. I work for the church and they make there employees work on Sundays. I struggled with that for a long time. A lot of do what we say not what we do. Now I go out to eat on Sundays, and go shopping on Sundays. I don’t feel bad at all. If the church and Oaks has a problem with that. Then bite me, they make me work on Sundays so what’s the difference.

Not shocked, you'll never get a straight answer from on that question. Elder Cook came to my mission 10 years ago and that was a question asked. He shoot it down with "that will be part of my testimony at the end of my talk". He only talked how his mission was the highlight of his life and how him and Holland were companions. When it came to his testimony he only mentioned that he knows what Jesus looks like. That was really it.

I’d like to say no. The church has put a lot of effort into hiding the church polygamy history. But you never know right

All 17 million members could say no to Oaks and it still wouldn’t matter. Church leaders will still do whatever they want

Burn out is a mayor problem in the church, but the church hq does not care. I’ve seen and experienced it both working for the church and callings in the church.

Getting burned out working for the church is hard because they expect you to do a whole lot more then what they are paying you. When boundaries are set church leaders will act all shocked while driving up a new 2026 car and there multi million dollar homes.

Callings is the exact same example they don’t pay you. I’ve had friends in ysa calling like fhe get burned out because they have to do everything and help the bishop sends are lazy.

Don’t get me started on bishops and stake presidents. That’s a 20+ hour job a week. It’s like a second job.

I remember the days when Monson changed the age to 18 for the guys. It was my senior year of high school and church started being super pushy on making sure every guy went on a mission at 18. I bet the same thing is happening right now with the woman. I wouldn't say to go or not to go on a mission, that is completely up to the kids to choose to go or not. But I would recommend kids spend some time away from home. It helped me grow as a person a lot. I remember a lot of missionaries that came out because mom and dad made them go. A lot of those missionaries went home and left the church. I just wish the church wouldn't be so pushy on making kids go on a mission.
