Late to this discussion, but I choose to interpret those statements as being about orthodox members who lazily accept everything they are told and put no effort into "real" understanding. I am sure that is not how he meant it - but I do believe his words are accurate, even if our "target audiences" ...

That is wonderful, Roy - all around. Thanks for letting us know.

I have issue with the way some of the recommend requirements are tied to temple attendance (especially the Word of Wisdom), but I love the temple theology as I view it (symbolic of the idea that just showing up and enduring to the end means entering into the presence of God - and that literally ever...

I appreciate Pres. Nelson's explicit emphasis on following civil directives and medical/scientific concerns with regard to opening the temples. "Do all that you can to bring COVID numbers down in your areas." 20 more temples announced. Wow! (Norway, Belgium, Austria, Ghana, Mozambique, South Africa,...

Faith-promoting story by Elder Rasband, but it will be used to assume that sincere prayer should cause miracles - and that if they don't happen, it is because of weak faith. Maybe I just don't have that kind of faith - or maybe miracles are not that simplistic. I just don't like the implications tha...

I am ecstatic about the statement that there is no party or platform that can satisfy every desire and issue - and that changing party support and candidates from election to election is fine and perhaps even necessary - and that we should not judge others based on their political support - and that...
