It’s still a qualifier for a temple recommend, so that’s very significant. 

That could be pulled. They pulled the one designed to catch polygamists that was so broad I don’t think anyone could honestly qualify for the temple. The one about associating with any group or individual whose teachings or practices contradict those of the gospel. How do you not ever associate with someone who disagrees with the gospel? Glad that one was pulled.

I'd say that question is still there, in a more sensible formation without the guilt by association aspect.

Still not sure if I can honestly say yes to that. I definitely couldn’t on the previous one.

I knew a couple who thought it was ok to drink alcohol when on vacation and still say they kept the WoW. I think that is probably beyond the pale but it does make me wonder if I’ve always been too scrupulous in answering temple recommend questions.

Ken will try to take good notes so that those of you who, inevitably and inescapably, are otherwise occupied on a Saturday will be able to have at least some idea what transpired!  (Pray for me ... or wish me luck, if you're not the "praying kind"). ;) :D 

I appreciate your notes even when I watch live. It really helps!

We my last two decade history, I have several friends that could be considered "apostate". Associating and supporting are two different animals- glad it was pulled also.

Me too! I know I'd worry if I lost my temper with my kids, didn't abuse physically but yelled a time or two and felt so guilty when asked some of the questions. And my diet coke or even way back to my Tab addiction. Always brought that up too.

The Second Quorum will lead a massive assault on Instanbul (formerly known as Constantinople). Upon taking control, the city will be renamed Nelsonipol and an embassy will be sent to Jerusalem.

I assume the goal is to attempt to defuse the tension between Greece and Turkey by giving them a common enemy to hate? Also poor Russia has to see their credibility as the “Third Rome” take even more of a tumble and that credibility was weak from the start.

prediction?

An Ogden UT Temple worker told me a while back:

1. Between 50 and 100 Temples will be announced

2. We might be encouraged to add water to our food storage, like having enough incase water becomes less available

3. I've heard the missionaries should be full time teachers and the members should be full time finders; might be emphasized?

My old grandmother wanted to be able to go to the temple again but was very addicted to coffee. She worked with the bishop and stake president about it and she tried to quit but her body simply would not let her give it up and was very miserable when she tried to do it. So the stake president told her if she could just cut it down to half a cup a day he would give her the recommend. She was able to do that and got the recommend. Going by the spirit of the law I guess. 

Bless that stake president for being wise

Greece is supportive of Israel but Turkey is NOT. Thus the reason for sending an embassy to Israel. (I hope you grieve at the atrocities committed on Oct 7, 2023).

And all the ones since.

And the ongoing struggle of people who are trapped as perpetual lessers.

And the horrible violent reactionaries perpetuating atrocities. Some as agents of government and some as literal terrorists.

Same.  But Bishop combined and then we had stake conference so I have a 5 week break.  I love it!

This happened but with tea with an elderly lady I knew. Also, my uncle who was a cattle rancher had a coffee addiction and then was called to be bishop and he went from coffee to a six pack of coke a day. I think that was probably not a good trade.

Back when the change was made, it was explained that the home needs to be the center of study and learning. Then covid hit. So interesting how the members were authorized to perform the Sacrament in the home. When the "excrement hits the fan" and violence runs rampant and civilization collapses, members will have to go out into the wilderness with the body of the Church. We may need to conduct services in small groups.
