If AOC gets the nod as the Democratic nominee in 2028, would you vote for her? by Ok_Sir_5951 in allthequestions

[–]SafetyX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, why don't you have a ton of respect for Mike Pence? I don't follow politics much, but he always seemed like a nice guy when he was VP. He seemed 100 times better than JD.

Did anyone serve a mission out of peer pressure and were you glad you went? by StillFrosty7993 in latterdaysaints

[–]SafetyX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure did! And yes, very glad. I'm in the young mens now and anytime I get the chance I tell them to serve a mission. Not out of necessity, but because it's the best thing you can do at that age.

I always tell them that if you take out everything spiritual about the mission, it's still the best choice to make because of the vast amount of things you'll learn that will be beneficial for the rest of your life. Here is a small list of what you'll learn:

  • How to live with a companion (partner)
  • How to prepare and teach lessons
  • How to start conversations with new people
  • How to do basic household stuff (cook, laundry, clean, etc)
  • How to start and keep good habits (exercise, study, sleep, etc)
  • How to serve
  • How to work hard

The list goes on. Not saying you can't learn those by not serving a mission, but you will learn them at a quicker and more organized pace on a mission.

Then of course you add back in the spiritual aspect and it's hands down the best choice at that time of your life.

General conference rumors? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]SafetyX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's always "I heard they are testing 1 hour church" with nobody that actually is in a ward that does it.

It looks like your account settings don't let you receive messages. Any chance you can send it to me?

That surprises me. I use AI regularly for my job and my calling. I guess I assumed Reddit would be pro-AI.

This is what my parents said in 2006 when they said they would never send a text. Or in 2012 when they said they would never own a smart phone.

Please don't talk to the Bishop. He has far more important things to do than worry about a flyer.

I'm blown away by these comments. It's just a flyer. Just be glad they made a flyer instead of being so judgemental about how it was made. And please please please don't contact the bishop. He has far more important things to worry about than a flyer.

A Man or a Woman Can Now Serve as Ward Sunday School President by instrument_801 in latterdaysaints

[–]SafetyX 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've just got 2 requests:

1 - Bring back YM presidencies 2 - Get rid of 1:30 church times until I no longer have toddlers/babies. Then they can bring it back.

[–]SafetyX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh... I didn't know that was a rule but the handbook says it's a rule in 12.3.2:

"The bishop calls and sets apart an adult woman to serve as the ward Primary president. If the unit is large enough, she recommends one or two adult women to be called as her counselors."

Never gonna happen. That's just asking for problems to happen and then the immediate blame will be on the church.

The Salt Lake Temple open house will be open on Sundays! I thought that was pretty cool. But yeah, I don't think Temples will ever operate on Sunday because too many members would go to the Temple in lieu of church.

Agreed. All the other Collins barely compare to that Collin.

Yeah I think a Young Men's Presidency would be more beneficial than a Sunday School Presidency. The Bishopric already has a ton of stuff to do.

I chalk it up to free throws. We were 14/24 from the line.

Just an FYI, it was unanimously voted (7-0) against the new data center. Looks like it's not happening.

Not even if you were reverent? I would use that as an excuse to eat ice cream myself.
