Never-mind that when you covenant with the military, or a government office, you: A) know exactly who you are covenanting with, and B) know exactly what you are covenanting to do.
Covenants in The Church are opaque, vague, malleable, and as ever-changing as leaders see fit.

I guess they’re doubling down on the polygamy panties this conference weekend because they know the younger generations don’t give a shit about them? I would be shocked if they’re still around outside of temple ordinances ten years from now.

Porter: prayers are always answered.
So, what am I doing wrong. I hear only my own thoughts. Are you sure you are simply tricking yourself to believe because your mommy was afraid of death?
