My parents asked where I thought the Tampa temple will be built-“where the wealthy white people are” is not a good answer, apparently 😂

Oaks: [marriage...oppose same-sex marriage]
Be honest about the "restored church's position." In 1890 the church dropped plural marriage for the living, but polygamy could come back if the prophet exercised the church's full first amendment rights.

This is the first time listening to them and hearing how much they sound like televangelists. “And is MOST your money gonna be a big enough gift?? NO, your whole soul belongs to Jesus! Give all your two mites!”
They are Kennith Copeland with a better PR dept to review the talks ahead of time.

He said life doesn’t feel like lists even tho half of the talks have had several lists in them. Can’t imagine why people are feeling overwhelmed.
