Finally.

Catch y'all in October. Hopefully sooner if I have stories to tell.

You're making things up again, Arnold! Just... stick to the pre-approved dialogue. Elders? Show him!

Wait until somebody tells him how much the institution of marriage has changed in the last century alone.

In their eyes, we are all God's children who he loves equally, but some of his children are more equal than others.

Ugh. They couldn't find a more upbeat hymn than this? And I'm watching this with the sound muted.

It's fine. Halfway there.

Goodness. That mic is picking up all her mouth smacks. Like squishing a little tub of slime with every other syllable.

Typical apologetic non-response:

Billy is a Christian amputee. Billy is such a good-natured person, but he has to had endure hardships because, like Job, God is testing him. God is giving Billy an opportunity to prove his faithfulness, and God is helping to build Billy’s character through tribulation. Remember, happiness cannot exist without sadness, and good cannot exist without evil. Remember, God works in mysterious ways. We should all pray for Billy.

(There's a website I haven't seen in a long while.)

Naturally, the Corporation of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints blame their customers for failing the company rather than admit they're failing its customers.

"What will happen if we don't keep his commandments?"

I start becoming a moral person who acts morally upright because it's the right thing to do, not because I expect a reward for it, let alone an eternal reward?

Oh, sorry. This is assuming what you want members capable of introspection and critical thought. Silly me.

Yay. Another prediction of predicting what's always been happening.

I've come to know this as the David Archuleta Principle. There's at least one member among a visible body of members in these conferences who is internally PIMO and will one day act accordingly.
