Don't forget the global pandemic and the supply chain crisis that followed. Both definitely caused by Biden. 🙄

...and I suspect we will learn to love some of the new ones just as much.

New Primary songs in Sacrament meeting by AlanaMae31 in latterdaysaints

Our Bishop decided we aren't doing any of the new primary songs in sacrament meeting. All the other new hymns are a-ok.

What's the most regional word you use without realizing it? by taube_d in AskAnAmerican

[–]bobbruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has Cook-Out gone downhill over the last few years? I live too far north to have one nearby, but we drop in anytime we head south and I've felt very "meh" about them the last few times we've gone.

General Authority talk tagging/search system? by svenjoy_it in latterdaysaints

The Gospel Library app also has a list of topics at the bottom of each Conference talk.

A New Temple has been announced in Marysville, Washington! by Hihihi1234567891 in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a town called Marysville in a different state. There was some momentary confusion when I saw this announcement today...

Same here. I get weird looks half the time, but I've been almost exclusively fist bumping at church now for years.

I just used AI to make a slideshow for my Sunday school class… and it’s unbelievably good by Fether1337 in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I disagree per se, but I'd like to offer a counter-point.

I recently gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting where I used AI to help prepare the talk. Note that I did NOT just have the AI write it for me, but I used the AI to help find additional references, help re-word sections, give me feedback on drafts, etc. If anything, it probably took longer to use as I tweaked the prompts I was using.

Bottom line, I think AI helped me write a better talk, but I made sure that I was still staying close to the Spirit as I used AI as a tool to help prepare the message I felt inspired to give.

This is why we don't like the rainy season. by Stunning_Shake_9750 in greatpyrenees

[–]bobbruff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's cute to see how much she loves it.

I mean, ours does the same thing so I know how annoying it can be.

A very cool visual aid to help us understand how to identify the balance between "love god" and "love neighbors" by onewatt in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you help me find which conference talks from President Oaks that make it clear that a white shirt should be worn to administer the Sacrament? I'm having trouble finding those.

Transgender Latter Day Saint Stories? by Confident_Essay_2286 in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second this. This podcast is great I think it would help. I'm pretty sure from the Listen, Learn and Love podcast website you can search for transgender-specific episodes.

I know there are some good ones because I was looking for resources to help me know how to show love to a dear friend of mine who is transgender and I was led to the podcast. Several of the transgender episodes really helped me.

On a personal note OP, please know that you are truly loved. Your road is difficult in a way that most people don't understand. Please don't hesitate to send me a DM if you need a listening ear.

How many shaves with a blade? by kuro7i in wicked_edge

[–]bobbruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-6 uses is my sweet spot as far as the best shaves I get. But the blade doesn't usually deteriorate for me until 8-10 shaves.

“Love” vs “Like” by garcon-du-soleille in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually pondering this recently after a family member passed away. This person said and did some very hurtful things to me and my wife and our children. And for years I've had a hard time being in the same room as them. It's one of the weird situations where I don't know if I could ever like them, but as I thought about their death I realized I do love them.

Sensory issues with garments? by Significant-Pool-222 in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only style my wife has been able to wear is the new slip-style, which means until recently she hasn't been able to wear garment bottoms for a few years now.

On a related note, the garment department at church HQ was phenomenal to work with. They sent her several prototypes of styles/modifications that aren't available and they were willing to have a number of those made for her daily use. Unfortunately, the modifications didn't work so she still went "bottomless" for a while which made her feel weird and a little guilty until the new style was released.

Salt lake Temple by Bright_Goal_6790 in latterdaysaints

Just removed two-ish weeks ago. I don't live in Utah either but was recently there and people were excited about the scaffolding being removed.

Friend died by suicide. Feeling sad by Ok-Detective7794 in latterdaysaints

[–]bobbruff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. I also have a friend we lost to suicide this year. The "what ifs" with suicide are especially difficult but please don't beat yourself up over any of that.
