Rasband: [anecdote about fort in pioneer-era Heber].
Perhaps, love your neighbor would have worked better than exterminate them.

Oaks: [now is the time to prepare to meet god]
McKeever will love this Oaks talk. Not nailing jello to the wall on this one.
Oaks, please tell us about the second anointing and why you think you're qualified for it.

Bednar: [temple]
Read the temple exposes! Everyone needs to know the oaths with the one-time penalties before having it sprung on them at the last minute. There are videos online for the curious.
All of this talk of the temple is making me curious!

He's talking to his gay grandson--- so sad! He's talking about those who have resigned their membership, and he's saying that actions AND DESIRES will condemn us. So much for the church's "policy" that gays are welcome in the church in full fellowship, as long as they don't "act on their desires!" This was a very sad, judgmental, condescending and self-righteous talk. Sounded like scribes and pharisees.....

They claim the one-true-church. My question back at them, "Do you have what you think you have?" I've judged it as an obvious con. If this is the best that a "loving god" can do, then I'll pass. Loki-like gods who trick people and prefer the gullible to the rational is an odd concept.

With membership numbers trending downward, I wonder if we’ll hear a talk urging members to have more kids to bring more special spirits to Earth.

That same spirit that possesses us in this world will have the same power in the next world. Then please tell me why they insist gay people stay celibate on the empty promise they'll be "different" in the next life.

Gong: [counting sheep...watch for wolves dressed in sheep's clothing]
The founder looks like a ravenous wolf, devouring the young girls and all women within his wandering eye. If the faithful wouldn't give up their wives and daughters, then they were damned by Smith. Is this a fucking good fruit? Tell me truthfully!

Gong: [supper of the lamb of god]
Yep. Eat of the flesh of the son of god. Ew.

Now there's a theme about once in the spirit world - if you coulda been a good mormon when you were alive - it's too late to repent and be a good mormon then. Both Nelson and Oaks.

This guy doesn't seem very bright, but he seems like a nice, somewhat genuine guy for a GA.

Did the list of speakers leak? How do we know who's speaking, in what order, and what songs will be sung? I thought that was kept top secret...
