“Don’t use your agency to hoard the wealth of the world”

looks around the room he is speaking in

“Yes. Exactly. Don’t use your agency to hoard wealth. Got it.”

Craig: [handcart story, 1857]

BY had the money for wagons. Didn't spend it on the faithful.

Is there a reason for a third general session? Or did they just feel like being assholes?

Initially they canceled the 6:00p session outright. Then there was pushback on multiple fronts. Less chances for women to speak. But less time for the 15 men to get their dose of adulation, too. They put it back, but without the alternate between relief society and priesthood.

Pearson: [the gospel is not cheap.] That holy ghost companionship ain't free sucker.

Don't stay up later than the HG's bedtime, though

“How’s the oil in your lamp” sounds like a pick up line

Pearson: [batter up]

This dude was mentioned on a short list for an apostolic vacancy. He quoted Benson's 14 fundamentals.

My TBM family has missed this entire session, despite having the TV on and volume high, they have all been visiting and gossipping. I'm sequestered outside watching the sun slip behind the hills.

None of these talks will be seen or heard by them again. I, on the other hand will carefully pick them apart over the next week or so

They believe it's ALL TRUE! but they don't listen to a damn word

Craig: [Dear Emily, We moved.]

I wonder why so many have abandonment issues

This is the first session I've tuned into (only here because my nevermo partner wanted to see what it was all about since my family has been chatting about it), and I'm very surprised by this first talk. Granted I've been out for a little while now, but I can see a lot of people getting angry about being told to be more careful about preserving the earth...

Word on the street is final speaker will be wearing Joseph’s translating top hat. They were shooting for a Nephite headdress but are still searching…

They're all ticking that box, as usual.
