Just, you know, reading conference talks for research. Just leaving this here.

"Members who forgo Church attendance and rely only on individual spirituality separate themselves from these gospel essentials: the power and blessings of the priesthood, the fulness of restored doctrine, and the motivations and opportunities to apply that doctrine. They forfeit their opportunity to qualify to perpetuate their family for eternity."

President Oaks teaches the blessings of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ.

I'm having to strongly resist doing a full analysis of this talk. So many opportunities for snark. But I'm on a different task today.

Fucking fuck I can't even clock back in to work I'm so fucking mad.

This is from 2021.

Oaks is a Nazi and I want to punch him in his knobby unprotected head.

The LDS Church directly participated in, and encouraged the US government to engage in, massacres and land theft of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and I just fucking can't with this trash.

(The book the Bear Creek Massacre by Darren Parry, a descendent of the atrocity, documents one such event.)

And then there's the fucking cultural genocide that continued into my lifetime with the Indian Placement Program and Oaks has the gall to fucking use words like "compassion" right next to "colonize."

Ok I gotta calm down and clock back in. I'm here for a quote about attending meetings. That's all I want.
