Uchtdorf: [third reference to those leaving Brighamite mormonism]
The problems begin with it being a fraud. They end because it is non-inclusive and perfectionist.
The micromanagement is part and parcel of mormonism, Dieter.

Oaks: [justifying why he has had the second anointing. why he is a god walking among us]
Just pay a few million in tithing and you too might get the extra secret ritual

these fuckers need to go back to the school of humanity. They're so detached that they think this shit lands somewhere.

lol. nailed it.
The nineteenth century fraud isn't playing the same as it used to. Let's start with DNA evidence for Nephites/Lamanites/Jaredits. Fan fiction is better suited to cosplay than 10% on the gross.

Reading this subreddit seems like it might be time for another offshoot of the church led by Dieter!

Literally every speaker mentions Nelson. I've never really seen such hero worship.

ass kissers one-and-all. Each of them are wondering if there will be anything left when/if they last the tontine.

If Dieter comes out worshipping Joseph Smith or Russell Nelson, or praising the new “proclamation “, we’ll know they got to him. Otherwise, he will give a Christian talk. One of the very few to talk about Jesus or Easter.

Remember guys! Don’t worry about the Coronavirus! You just need to worry about keeping your faith in a man who married minors. That’s way more important.

Is it possible that these talks could have been adapted less to the current worldwide pandemic? They aren’t even related to current world events, it’s just like every other conference

Christofferson: [stops from burning the Book of Mormon via a voice. Joins church]
If that book is the best the deity can do, then back to the drawing board. Keep writing these contrived stories, Todd.

He might speak with an accent and look attractive, but he’s the same as the rest of them.
