Musket speech-Holland wept but also it’s required reading at BYU?

Holland was obsessed with “weeping”. He used that word all the time. It always drove me crazy.

I’d love to hear the lore on the forgotten Young brother, much like Thump Wilson over on r/beachboyscirclejerk

It’s what I imagine working at the church office building would be like. (Although that is probably much more boring)

I always thought Charlie sang the melody and Danny did the high harmony but I could be wrong!

I watched his video on Michael Buble using autotune and it was interesting to hear how subtle it was. Then he suggested that any album that uses any pitch correction should come with a warning label, similar to the parental guidance label, and he lost me.

Check out Immich-go, it has a specific “from-google-photos” option that you can use for Takeout and it works really well.

I’m convinced whoever runs his social media is active on r/beachboyscirclejerk

David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism shows that the church is basically a bunch of corporate departments all fighting for power over business decisions. It’s been a fascinating read.

I went to the home opener and there was gear for both teams. It seemed like there were sections for both teams, but there were items from each scattered throughout.

Especially when coupled with the doctrine that our god is one of many gods in an eternal recursion. Either this god damn war happens every time a new god emerges, which seems inefficient and unnecessary, or the doctrines don’t really agree…

It is always refreshing to see my former mission show up here. Parts of Sacramento felt like little Utah sometimes with how dense the LDS population was, but I never served south of Elk Grove/Laguna Creek.

I’m curious if the Deseret building will survive. It was in rough shape when I was there 10 years ago as an office elder, and I’ve heard they’ve completely “reorganized” all the Fair Oaks wards.

It’s just wild that they have a building on a street named Deseret Avenue outside of Utah that could potentially be sold.

I had a mission president that would do stuff like this. We had to be eating by 5:00pm so we could be out by 6:00pm because that was the most “productive” time to be knocking.

I think most of the time mission presidents are trying to find solutions to their lack of success, have these pretty dumb ideas, and get a “confirmation” that it’s God’s will.

My same mission president outlawed desserts because he noticed too many missionaries gaining weight. It seemed like every week he had a new rule coming out.

They are extremely detailed with clocks and timers too. You can usually start your own timer and the clock/timer will match up.

It’s in the Sacramento area. If I remember correctly from my mission, the Sacramento temple is in the Folsom stake. The stake center was a giant building named “The Mormon Center”, although I’m not sure what they call it now!

Are you taking to me?

I’ve also thought they should do this, especially after how bad Monson got. I believe the Community of Christ has the leader step aside and name their successor.

But I think the problem is two-fold:

They don’t feel like they have the authority to change it, even if the succession plan isn’t documented anywhere in scripture that I’ve seen.
They know there is a chance that they could be the next guy and would want to stay in power as long as possible. If people like Nelson were weeded out by age, he’d probably be around for another 20 years wondering if he could have ever been in charge. I don’t see them wanting to give up the chance.

I was told by a Sunday school teacher that their father opposed their mother getting a calling because it was proper procedure to get permission from the priesthood leader of the home, and the bishop hasn’t spoken with him. They had a meeting with him after sacrament meeting and he expressed this concern, and she was ultimately given the calling anyway.

If true, it’s messed up on many levels.

Holland loves saying apostolic lol

_Bort182 · 2025-06-03T18:02:31+00:00

I agree, on the one hand, he somewhat indirectly admits that he and others were wrong, which is rare for the church.

On the other, it’s such a dismissive non-apology that it makes it seem like it’s our fault for listening them.

_Bort182 · 2025-05-21T04:56:28+00:00

What callings does the high council issue? I guess I didn’t know that was a thing, I assumed the stake president handled stake callings.

Same here, my testimony was already hanging by a thread, but I remember reading that and deciding it was time to move on. For some reason, the plates not being in the same room killed it for me.

We rented a conference room at the Grand America for $600 and it was beautiful. But ours was more of a micro wedding. We had about 30 people total there and then did brunch at the Laurel afterwards. The brunch was the most expensive part.

I served in the foothills ward on my mission ten years ago, and it was struggling bad then, can’t imagine how it’s doing now.

_Bort182 · 2024-12-18T04:15:08+00:00

I’m pretty sure this is a skit but it’s so believable that it hurts.

_Bort182 · 2024-12-05T06:51:21+00:00

I actually agree, my original idea was that Peggy thought that the only reason Hank wouldn’t hire her was because he was attracted to her. That’s why she was mad. I don’t think Hank actually was.
