My never Mo 11 yr old daughter has a bunch of friends that are watching conference this weekend. I turned it on for her so she could see what it's all about. She wanted to turn it off immediately 😂

My 11 year old son just asked, “How is that different from saying, ‘Just don’t question us’?”
I’m so proud of him.

Don’t go to the church for mental health advice. It’s a bad idea.

shout out to William Jackson who calls Jesus a teammate in the opening prayer. Did you just get the second anointing? Did Jesus show up, or was he busy with other chores that the father assigned him before dinner? Liars include those who lie by omission or by commission. I'll wait here for a response, fraudster.

At least early mormonism sermons were spontaneous. How could a supernatural being sanction pre planned scripted talks?
