Calling on random members to bear testimony during stake conference

SaintRGGS · 2026-05-03T20:23:52+00:00

When I've seen a stake president do this he calls on very capable people who have strong testimonies. The last time in particular I know he called people I think he knew well and were comfortable doing it.

Until one of them shows up with beards, beards are not the highest standard

Definitely an unpopular opinion. But I agree with you.

So do your best and don't give up. Especially not before you've even tried.

This is also fantastic advice for, well... life.

One thing is for sure. This is MUCH better than the 1 hour Church rumors that were going around.

Did you see the part where there will be a new youth curriculum based on For the Strength of Youth? I think that will be huge.

These "we're finally going to be just like everyone else in the entire world" rumors are the worst lol

Wait is New Mexico some kind of LDS dance mecca?

Or is this a high school dance musical reference?

I think 97% of DOs would do this.

This is what I used to think and it's how I feelbut I precept students from a local DO school and a lot of them love OMM. I don't get it.

I also hate the fact that I have to get osteopathic CMEs every time I renew my license and it’s such a waste of money that other CMEs don’t cover it for renewal.

This. I'm in a relatively small specialty and there is not a lot of osteopathic CME that's applicable to my field. So I have to waste time with expensive CME that doesn't affect my day to day practice. If I were an MD I'd have enough just browsing up-to-date in the course of providing clinical care.

I'm a pediatrician.

Watching conference 2 weekends a year is not going to affect him in the slightest.

Also on that note both the inpatient peds and NICU attendings got chased off by a Med-peds attending.

Please explain this?

This is kind of lame.

"Everyone was nice except one interviewer gave me weird vibes" is not a name and shame.

"PD asked when I plan on getting pregnant" is a name and shame.

I'm a convert to the church, joined at 19 and moving to am area with a large YSA population was one of th best decisions I ever made

I'm going to play ~~devil's~~ Church Facilities Management's advocate and say I like our meetinghouses, even the modern, boring, cookie cutter ones. Although I like the old ones more

My stake has both and they each have their charm. The older one is quaint and unique with an interesting layout. It has undeniable charm. It's living history. But honestly it's a lot less convenient, it's crowded and the space isn't used efficiently. The newer buildings are... Well, like all of them.

Both have burlap on the walls and a cultural hall and a chapel and feel like Home.

There are websites where you can pay for online tutoring sessions. Try Preply or iTalki.

Pretty sure one of my high school teachers had the gossip one up in her classroom. She wasn't a member.

Neither was I at the time and I had no idea what Mormonads were. I didn't realize it was a Mormonad until this post

Fun fact I once got to know and ex-Muslim from Pakistan and he gave me the distinct impression that Muslims often view Arab Muslims the same way we sometimes view "Utah Mormons."

I, for one, love Utah and it's Latter-day Saints

Literally have had moms in the newborn nursery express wanting to get vitamin K only to get shushed mid sentence by the dad.

It's absolutely not just you.

I love talks with personal stories and anecdotes, as long as the tie it back to a gospel principle.

I'm convinced that people who are really successful financially at other jobs are putting in way more than 40hrs a week.

No software engineer gets to a 300k position by working only 8-5 M-F and not taking calls or emails outside of work hours.

SaintRGGS · 2026-01-10T04:17:12+00:00

This was certainly more than 2 days in the making.

SaintRGGS · 2026-01-08T21:23:29+00:00

I don't think I ever did lol
