“He said vs. she said” Gender inequality is alive and well at General Conference

In 2015, Russell M. Nelson memorably urged Latter-day Saint women to “speak up and speak out.” But their words are rarely finding their way into General Conference talks. Researcher Eliza Wells, in an Exponent II blog post, studied April conference talks by men and women from 1971 to 2020 and disco...

Oaks - his Americentricism and his hypocrisy on racism

This was how he closed his General Conference talk supposedly for a worldwide audience... Knowing that we are all children of God gives us a divine vision of the worth of all others and the will and ability to rise above prejudice and racism. As I have lived for many years in different places in thi...

The Covid-infected Gong opens his talk thus... Dear brothers and sisters, I recently officiated in a temple sealing, following COVID-19 guidelines. With the bride and groom, both faithful returned missionaries, were their parents and all their siblings. This was not easy. The bride is the ninth of t...

Re: "Bitter Fruit"

The transcript is up. A society, for example, in which individual consent is the only constraint on sexual activity is a society in decay. Adultery, promiscuity, out-of-wedlock births,15 and elective abortions are but some of the bitter fruits that grow out of the ongoing sexual revolution. https://...

Re: Gerritt Gong and wife have COVID

As an aside, apparently it was mentioned before his conference talk that he was self isolating, but nobody discussed it until after the news story today. I think that informs us how many people watched conference live....

Re: Gerritt Gong and wife have COVID

I'm not sure how meaningful this might be but...it was reported that although the Apostles wore masks during the conference sessions, the pulpit and microphone they all used were not cleaned nor wiped down in between speakers. Speakers removed their face coverings when they gave their sermons. The m...

Peterson reports the words used as follows... “Adultery, promiscuity, elective abortion, and out-of-wedlock births are but some of the bitter fruits that grow out of the immorality sanctioned by the sexual revolution,” said Elder Christofferson. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danpeterson/2020/10/of-e...

Re: "Bitter Fruit"

Todd Christofferson calls children born out of wedlock: "bitter fruit." I call this guy everything that the auto block here on Mormon Discussions would delete if I typed it. It will be interesting to peruse the transcript of his talk, assuming it isn't cut. Perhaps Nelson needs to direct his words ...
