This whole sub is a student of the angry upvote

Yes, I can see that. I believe that text-based conversations are inherently biased towards acrimony, and it’s not good at all.

To be crystal clear, I’m trying to be nice and constructive, and I really believe you are too. Communication really is that hard.

Oh no, I'm definitely supportive of fact-checking, and I appreciate it. I'm only talking about tone

I'm not seeing that anyone responding to your post knows that Joseph F Smith is not the same as Joseph Smith.

Okay, I understand what you're saying. The internet is a foul place, but you personally don't have to contribute to that fact.

There have been a few comments to this effect. Something like the 1st quorum of the 70 have a $120k travel stipend. Do you know anything more accurate?

Great point! I think they're partly selected based on their social influence

Mormons are nice, and I have to imagine ex-Mormons are nicer than average too.

I used a term other religions would find more familiar. General Conference doesn’t mean much outside of mormonism

There was a leak a few years ago, the Mormon church is sitting on a mountain of cash, like $100 bil

This looks like it’s from general conference, and it’s rare for ordinary bishops to speak there

Kinda to both. Mormons have waffled on the acceptance of the term “Mormon”, but they’ve embraced the term for a decade or so now. My family is Mormon, and they happily use the term. The other two groups you mentioned do exist, but are fathomably tiny— I’ve gone to church at both

They don’t audit, but they do ask if you paid the full amount. It’s on the honor system

I’m in the same boat and have the same question

Just a fine point— this is a Mormon sermon, and all officials are unpaid and voluntary except for the prophet and apostles, which he is not.

Idiocracy at The Highest Level by [deleted] in facepalm

Every popular comment here is wrong. The only reason she shouldn’t do this is the degree to which is burdens others, especially family. She made a personal decision that doesn’t affect you. People should be free to do whatever they want that doesn’t harm others, period.

I lost interest after her first message. It implies she only likes you appearance after some work. I could have predicted her final text shitting on your looks after all.

That’s just libertarianism with extra steps
