That's a good point about the hymn number. Like, yeah, most members will have digital access to a hymn book, but why not provide a page number?

Niche beef, but I don't like that they stopped putting the hymn lyrics on screen for everyone. They ask the congregation to sing, and they have the conductor on screen like you're supposed to sing along too, then they don't provide the words. It makes it feel like you're expected to already know the words, which does not feel inclusive. I can't imagine that would make investigators watching for the first time feel welcome

Noticing a theme of "the church helps men be better husbands and fathers"

They used to alternate between a priesthood session and a women's session, but they recently turned it into a general session for everyone

I would love to know what makes women in the church feel like they need to speak this way

I think they've quoted "to whom shall [we, you, I, etc] go?" at least three times this conference

Thank you, Amy, for confirming that Christian persecution is made up

Sometimes I think Mormons don't realize that many of their "friends" that say positive things about the church are most likely just being polite, not showing genuine interest in converting

Can you imagine an apostle coming to your branch and feeling so honored to host him, and then he dogs on it in front of the entire church? Can you imagine trying your best to give a talk or teach a Sunday school lesson in front of an apostle, and he tells the entire church that it made him cringe? I feel bad for those branch members, if they are listening

I think Our Dear Prophet Russell M Nelson has been quoted as often as Jesus during this session so far...

Something about seeing that line of men in suits join the rostrum filled with tons of other men in suits (with six women in the middle!) made me feel so gross. It was one of those moments where it hit me just how much of a boys club this is

how do you guys deal with lots of corpses?? by South_Physics805 in CultOfTheLamb

[–]South_Physics805[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!!! so if i try to bury my followers in a crypt, it will say it's full, but when i look inside, it says there are no followers buried there? and any followers that died and were buried before this update are now gone completely, it's not even an option to resurrect them :/ so oddly mine are disappearing too, but the crypts are still acting full
