[u/scaredanxiousunsure]

Is it just me, or was the story about the family crossing the Pacific in extremely dangerous conditions to see an apostle an extremely vile story?

Any doctor - or normal person - could have told them not to go on a super dangerous sea voyage with little children. But they chose to do it anyway, because seeing an apostle was more important than their baby's life. And the baby paid the price of his life because his parents prioritized the cult.

This is the kind of story that negates anyone who says that the church is nice and good but doesn't necessarily have to be completely true. If people are sacrificing their children for this religion, and being lauded for it in general corporate fuckcast, then the religion had better be 100% true. Those people gave up the time they could have spent with their son in this life, in exchange for the promise of eternity with their son, which is what the MFMC purports to guarantee.

[u/Rushclock → u/scaredanxiousunsure]

Spot on. Eyring gave a talk aboit the Teton dam breaking and how they were separated from their children because of road closures. Eyring's wife was mad at him for not worrying and he said we came from the temple they will be fine. That is horrific parent training.

[u/Additional-Cake-3588 → u/Rushclock]

My parents were at the temple when my babysitter raped me. It is such false thinking.

[u/scaredanxiousunsure → u/Additional-Cake-3588]

That's one of the worst things I've ever heard. I'm so sorry.

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude → u/scaredanxiousunsure]

And people wonder why I blame the church for my complete and utter lack of self worth

[u/vanillacreek → u/scaredanxiousunsure]

We are assuming this story actually happened. If it did, irresponsible; however, we may discover later it was all made up. It is common for this stuff to be embellished by GAs.

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

Lol Elder Gong saying People are upset at small temples (instead of large) and reminding us not to worry about if a temple is large or small. They should have accepted small temple and steeple for Fairview if that's the case.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Gambling is terrible, but I cannot ignore the irony of a Billon-dollar corporation that DEMANDS 10% of the income of its members, is trying to preach financial responsibility

[u/4blockhead → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

The church will not give members a dime to help them in times of need. Especially not in old age.

[u/chewbaccataco → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I agree on the gambling. But even if I gambled away 10% of my income every paycheck that's still far better than giving it to the cult. At least there would be entertainment value and a chance of a return, however small. Still more than the cult will ever provide.

[u/Olimlah2Anubis → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Giving them your money is being responsible. That way god can bless you. /s

[u/JustDontDelve → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

While I think the topic is good for ANYONE, and thus have no problem with them addressing gambling in GC, I think it’s from purely self interest that they’re doing so.

Broke gamblers can’t pay tithes to the church, and can’t start families 6mos after their missions when they’re already addicted to gambling and unable to save money to establish and grow a family aka next gen tithepayers. Maybe I’m too cynical lol.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I gambled a lot in the past. 10% of my income. I was told that if I gave my money, I was GAURANTEED a win. I didn't win

[u/4blockhead]

Gong: [size doesn't matter]

Lawyers in Fairview perk up.

[u/No-Tonight-5298 → u/4blockhead]

As someone from Texas, they were anal about the size for what was like a year lol

[u/ApocalypseTapir]

GC is no where near as inflammatory as it used to be. I want Oaks and crew to be as offensive as they can be. Of course the marketing and social engineering consultants have sanitized the talks to be as bland as white bread that isn't authentic enough to grow moldy.

[u/4blockhead → u/ApocalypseTapir]

It's an artform to stand there and say nothing, disguised in a hypnotic monotone.

[u/given2fly_ → u/4blockhead]

"Close quote..."

[u/PcHound2 → u/ApocalypseTapir]

I hate Oaks! When he was president of BYU, there was an electro shock coversion therapy program. He lied about it years later.

[u/undrtow484 → u/ApocalypseTapir]

It’s gotten so damn boring and redundant. How many times can you say the same boring thing in a slightly different way?

[u/Few-Mail3887]

Oh hey I forgot this was a thing today. Happy to have reached that point.

[u/Sharklover588374784]

"My grandparents had to bury their child who died of dehydration on the voyage to listen to an apostle" what a horrifically bizarre flex

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/Sharklover588374784]

Suffering is integral to this damn religion I swear

[u/VeritasOmnia → u/Sharklover588374784]

Especially when they are going harding on abortion in Idaho at the moment.

A slow painful death by dehydration of a child. 😇

Abortion of a fetus. 👹

[u/GrumpyTom]

Friendly reminder the church has enough cashflow they could easily fund the entire missionary program, but instead they still require missionaries and their families pay.

[u/4blockhead → u/GrumpyTom]

No. Custodians. Ever.

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude → u/GrumpyTom]

My brother lost way too much weight during his mission because they refused to give him enough money to eat like at all for his area.

[u/scaredanxiousunsure]

Oh good, I'm excited for Christofferson to speak. Maybe he will talk about how it is important to report CSA and protect children?

[u/4blockhead → u/scaredanxiousunsure]

If you think he will, then you'll get good odds at a sports book. ;)

[u/narrauko]

Todd, if recreational gambling can lead a spiritually weaker person towards sinful behavior, what does letting a sexual predator go free lead towards? 🤔

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/narrauko]

Well, THAT doesn't affect the Church's bottom line so, it doesn't lead to a loss in profits at least!

[u/StrongInvestment6601]

Don't complain about how small and simple YOUR Temple is .... but YES we SHALL spend upward of $2B in renovating the SLC Temple, etc - have a 6 month open house - and invite the whole world to visit and marvel !? 😱

[u/GrumpyTom]

The church's colonialism around the pacific was really awful. Just saying.

[u/4blockhead → u/GrumpyTom]

Colonialization is on full display at Polynesian Cultural Center. First contact deaths left remaining population vulnerable.

[u/Rushclock → u/GrumpyTom]

Hawaii was terrible. Smallpox spreaders.

[u/JayDaWawi]

Once again, baby mortality presented as heartwarming 

[u/4blockhead → u/JayDaWawi]

jarring.

[u/Lily7129]

“This General conference is sponsored by death”

[u/4blockhead → u/Lily7129]

Also the letters "F," "T" and "C" and the numbers millions and billions.

[u/Lily7129]

Yay it’s that time of year again where I get to chat with all you guys

[u/Smol-Vehvi → u/Lily7129]

This is my first conference as an PIMO! I'm weirdly looking forward to this lol.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/Smol-Vehvi]

Welcome!! You are among friends here :)

[u/JayDaWawi]

OPPOSED!

[u/scaredanxiousunsure]

Yay, it kicks right off with Gong guilt tripping everyone for not going to the temple enough. And also, an advertisement to tell everyone to buy temple clothes from MFMC! Of course, it has to start right off with telling everyone how great the temple is - the cultiest, most evil, most distressing part of the church, that completely exploded my faith.

[u/Sea_Button_3616 → u/scaredanxiousunsure]

And saying you can only find peace in the temple.

I mean, maybe you'll nap, if you're not having a panic attack about listening to all the words and thinking them all exactly since were taught ordinances must be done exactly (baptism toe or hair floats, misspoken sacrament prayers, being shamed at the veil by the grumpy lady having to tell me over and over in the quietest whisper when I have problems understanding speech, especially that ear).

[u/Billytheidd69]

Runia: don't be jealous of other people's lives. 

Caveat: if you left the church,  look how much your life sucks compared to members. 

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

It is very weird seeing the blatant manipulation and looking over to see tears in my mom's eyes

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

I remember feeling the same way. The brain-washing is POWERFUL

[u/Rushclock → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Indoctrination is powerful.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I was a former temple worker. It's boring as hell

[u/Lily7129 → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Best part of it was getting to go home

[u/Billytheidd69]

I hate Gong because of:

One. He counts everything.  Two. He verbally indicates what number he is on.  Tnree. He speaks like Mr Rogers while dragging down people to hell.

[u/GrumpyTom]

It's fascinating that Elder Gong felt it necessary to call out members who complain about the size of their temple. This says so much about the culture of the church, both from the perspective of leadership and also that of members.

[u/Billytheidd69 → u/GrumpyTom]

Don't worry,  I'm sure that anecdote is total fiction. 

[u/PcHound2]

To make things worse, General Conference is on my birthday! October 4th! My family always valued GC over my birthday!

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/PcHound2]

EWWWW!!! So sorry man :( Happy early birthday!!!

[u/JayDaWawi]

Your reminder that, culturally, fasting didn't exclude water; that's a uniquely Mormon take

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/JayDaWawi]

WHAT??? No WONDER people can fast for so long in other cultures

[u/Rushclock → u/JayDaWawi]

Also known as hunger beg.

[u/4blockhead]

Douglas: [...]

About missions, my advice to any young person is to watch Heretic before signing up for knocking on strangers' doors.

[u/BillNyeForPrez → u/4blockhead]

To be fair, I would’ve gladly been murdered by Hugh Grant during that 10 month stretch without a hot shower or AC.

[u/Cooper-Pine → u/4blockhead]

yeah, that movie is wild.

[u/drtule]

"Complaining about the size and ornateness of a temple to an apostle"

Things that didn't happen for 500

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Life not going well? have you considered that it is actually going perfectly? No? Well you just don't have enough faith then!

[u/Sea_Button_3616 → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

You get exactly what you need. Oh, so that person NEEDED to be abused. This war HAD to happen. For education.  Got it.

[u/PcHound2]

Man, this is just a six hour funeral. Depressing speeches and lots of crying.

[u/Rushclock → u/PcHound2]

Visitors often wonder why mormon meetings are full of sadness.

[u/Cooper-Pine → u/PcHound2]

XD six hour funeral! I mean that is how this first session is going.

[u/ImOnlyHalfOk]

What’s with all the sad stories today 😭

[u/GrumpyTom → u/ImOnlyHalfOk]

"Life is sad, that's why you need to the church. Now pay your tithing, damn it!"

[u/No-Reindeer-4384]

“buy your own temple clothes”
shameless plug much??

[u/windriver32 → u/No-Reindeer-4384]

Did someone actually say that? I remember, even when fully believing, thinking that was such BS. And the renting of clothes for money in the actual temple is such BS. Such an antithesis of anything Jesus taught.

[u/No-Reindeer-4384 → u/windriver32]

yep. elder gong, who was the first to speak. totally goes against christ’s teachings, i agree! it’s insane that members don’t see it.

[u/Lily7129 → u/No-Reindeer-4384]

If the church was like those YouTubers:

“Make sure to get our merch guys it’s absolutely fire”

[u/Cooper-Pine]

He was called to be a bishop on his wedding day, guy couldn't catch a break, that sucks.

[u/GrumpyTom → u/Cooper-Pine]

"Can't you see I'm a little busy!"

[u/Rushclock]

The church was gambling with the idea that their clone companies would never be discovered.

[u/4blockhead → u/Rushclock]

A shell game. literally.

[u/hyalophora_gloveri]

Condolences to all the kids with birthdays on General Conference. My brother doesnt really get to do anything today

[u/ako-si-greg]

It seems that Mormon “theology” likes the concept of Jesus and the Father as separate beings partially because it forces Jesus to be “completely obedient” to the Father, instead of treating that unity as a shared divine nature that you’d see in traditional Christianity.

And then the church uses that to tell members they need to be “completely obedient” to the church.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

LET'S GO GAMBLING!!!

[u/Lanky_Feature_4586]

Stop gambling your tithing away!

[u/Lily7129]

Ok I will say even as an ex member fuck gambling. On YouTube or watching sports it’s just gambling gambling gambling

[u/Sharklover588374784]

Never in my life have I been more tempted to gamble (I cant believe of all the societal problems he chose to talk about, he chose to talk about f****** gambling)

[u/4blockhead → u/Sharklover588374784]

Global warming. Nada. Wars and threat of worldwide destruction. Nada.

[u/Sharklover588374784 → u/4blockhead]

Domestic violence, physical and verbal abuse, sexual abuse-- nada

[u/Careful_Silver_9647]

I also agree with this talk, BUT it does bring up a bit of a worry in my mind....We haven't really heard strong anti-gambling talks in conference since i was young (70's and 80's). Is this a sign that Oaks will be retrenching back to many of the things that we were so worried about in the 70's and 80's (no face cards, no caffeine, etc.) The fact that Christofferson referenced an Oaks talk in his talk is also concerning. When Nelson was prophet, so many GAs would reference Nelson's talks in their talks...it felt very culty.

[u/Even_Subject_4187 → u/Careful_Silver_9647]

Sports gambling has been a bigger topic recently beyond the mormon church. Im guessing this has more to do with that

[u/frysjelly → u/Even_Subject_4187]

Even top athletes are coming out against gambling. I guess it's time the church follow the trend

[u/Baranax]

Why do I torment myself with this stupidity every six months?

[u/GrumpyTom → u/Baranax]

If you can escape, you should. Go outside, enjoy some fresh air!

[u/Even_Subject_4187]

How many deaths are we at now?

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude → u/Even_Subject_4187]

I would love to see a count for each conference. I'm curious to how it would compare from conference to conference

[u/ApocalypseTapir]

So far I'm ok with this talk. As long as he doesn't bring up "worthiness" this is a surprisingly timely talk.

[u/GrumpyTom]

May we be better people by realizing the hypocrisy of church leadership and learning from their wickedness. Is my prayer, in the sacred name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Ramen.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Broadly speaking, it was a good talk. Gambling has become a real problem recently. But I cannot help see some ironies when a church leader complains about people trying to get "something for nothing." I mean, that's the whole business model of the church.

[u/Billytheidd69]

People risking it all. 

For a fake church. 

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

Called to Serve seems a strange choice for a mid-session hymn, since it doesn't line up with the topics of the talks.

[u/GrumpyTom → u/Sea_Button_3616]

Gotta wake everyone up.

[u/_emma_stoned_]

Oh shit, is that today?

[u/NoMoreAtPresent]

No survivors… well, except for the gnat

[u/narrauko]

Why can't the multi-billion dollar corporation provide ceremonial clothing for their members?

[u/ApocalypseTapir → u/narrauko]

Give a man temple clothes and you clothe him for an hour. Teach him to buy temple clothes and you save on overhead expense and can make a small profit on the clothes

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

What up my fellow sinnnerssssss

[u/GrumpyTom]

Q: Do we worship in the temple, or do we worship the temple itself?

[u/narrauko → u/GrumpyTom]

Sure seems like the temple itself

[u/4blockhead → u/GrumpyTom]

The top officials should issue baseball-card with their bland faces and a separate sets for their concrete golden idols. Pokemon: catch them all.

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

It's weird that Soares quoted so many people about fasting but didn't quote what Jesus said (Do it privately, don't let people know about it). In fact, he just called it an outward show/expression of charity.

(Someone talked to me in the middle, so if he did actually quote Jesus, then I missed it)

ETA I always forget my ETA's. Added the final parenthetical statement and also for clarity throughout.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Boys: Mission is required

Girls: OPTIONAL!! Pray about it!!

[u/Maleficent_Tap3866 → u/GrumpyTom]

And pray until you get the right answer

[u/ako-si-greg]

We could create a new anti-gambling commission, call it the “Kirtland anti-Gambling Society,” to hearken back to the church’s storied history with financial responsibility.

[u/GrumpyTom]

I'm not saying they're perfect, but in general I like the women's talks better than those of the men.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Sheesh this conference is an absolute massacre. Amazing there's anyone left to tell these stories!

[u/zjelkof]

I gamble in the stock market nearly every day, and so does the Church!

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I love y'all. You made these two hours fly by

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Those poor pioneers. I used to be inspired by their sacrifice, and now, I just feel so sad for the needless deaths and suffering they endured following a cult leader

[u/4blockhead]

Hathaway: [car crash]

Death, injury, and disease set up to be this conference's theme.

[u/Jealous_Pool_9514]

Anyone else think that’s sad that guys grandparents sailed just to see an apostle and their baby died? Kinda fucked up that God killed their baby due to the storm when they were making huge efforts to see his annointed /s

[u/GrumpyTom]

This is a good talk. The sort of talk that should be given. Quite a contrast vs everything else said this morning.

[u/GrumpyTom]

Great to be with you all again. Here’s hoping church leaders’ hearts have been softened and they will leave us alone. I’m not holding my breath, though.

[u/GrumpyTom]

On the verge of crying while sharing testimony makes it more spiritual, right?

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/GrumpyTom]

It ain't real if you ain't crying

[u/theivyangel]

the prophet for nearly 200 years now

He's still alive? Have I missed something? Lol

[u/Baranax]

100% wrong on gambling for entertainment. My money is being spent to entertain me at that point. It has value.

[u/Rushclock]

Surprised to see Eyring.

[u/4blockhead → u/Rushclock]

The puppets are very lifelike.

[u/Billytheidd69]

I'm going to say it given the frequency of her talks:

Which Apostle has a boner for Runia? 

[u/windriver32]

Mods, because this is a general thread can we have auto sorted by new instead of best?

[u/ako-si-greg]

Isn’t this guy French? Did that announcement that authorities could give their talks in their native languages really only last for like one conference a few years ago?

[u/GrumpyTom → u/ako-si-greg]

Don't shoot the messenger, but yes that was only one conference back in 2014.

[u/Billytheidd69]

Geez,  this session has too much death in it.  Signed,  Quinton Terantino.

[u/Ambitious-Trash1000]

This is my first time that my mom isn't making me watch/listen to gc and I just wanted to post here and say that there is a better life after whatever shit show you're going through right now. I do apologize that it sounds kinda preachy 😅, but I didn't have hope that it would get better for a while, and it was horrible. Both my parents are more supportive of me now, and I know that isn't the case for a lot of people, but there is good coming your way. Live your life, love who you love, believe whatever you want to believe, just be YOU. You're amazing and don't forget it ❤️

[u/Baranax]

Fun fact: the nightmares persist well after a decade after you come home :)

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Gong: size doesn't matter it's how you use it

[u/zjelkof → u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Wow - that's an inspiring message from the Q15! I wonder how many women would agree with that statement?

[u/JayDaWawi]

Record numbers of missionaries 

are leaving the church because they find out how much of a lie this religion is

[u/Philcastro]

I’m not watching, I’m at work. But today I overheard a coworker venting and saying “ I don’t even know why I watch gc, I’m not being told anything profound. Nothing new is being said…” Glad to see people waking up 

[u/JayDaWawi]

You know, Mormonism is the only religion that takes "until death do we part" literally and not poetic 

[u/Rushclock]

Prompted. It almost sounds like these people think they are radio receivers from another world directing random actions. Real robots.

[u/JayDaWawi]

Joseph's restored church

The 1830 church would be embarrassed by the 2026 church

[u/GrumpyTom]

Joseph Smith was not great at writing. This is true. He was, however, excellent at telling stories and dictating. He just needed others to help with the writing.

[u/Billytheidd69]

Would Christofferson turn down the 10% tithing somebody gives the church for a powerball win? 

Methinks not.

[u/ako-si-greg]

Did Gong mention Jesus one time during that talk?

[u/GrumpyTom]

Did she just shoot holes in the transactional relationship most members have with the gospel? What about that verse in D&C about "when we obtain any blessing it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated"?

[u/1-like-anime]

It's my last oct conference!

[u/GrumpyTom]

Seems like there should be a Polynesian apostle by now.

[u/Sea_Button_3616]

Oh wow hearing about a car accident where no one is hurt, contrasting it with the dead baby from the previous talk, and talking about divine deliverance after is sooo....

Do people have to approve the order of the talks, not just the content?

Edit: oh I guess he had to include a car accident that resulted in death, too.

[u/Rushclock]

A cheering song after this carnage?

[u/Lily7129]

Sean Douglas is such a generic video game character sounding name lol

[u/Billytheidd69]

After the financial scandal,  I don't give these Presiding Bishop dooshes any respect. 

Eff off the stand, loser.

[u/Return_and_report]

DON'T THINK, JUST KEEP GOING, YOU ARE THE ✨️CHOSEN ONE✨️

[u/LookingForMyComp]

We need a "dead pool" to track the death scares in conference talks because it sounds like the morg (morgue?) is using fear of death as a manipulation tactic to try to scare everybody into paying up and showing up

[u/GrumpyTom]

Oooh a talk on gambling.... about time.

[u/JayDaWawi → u/GrumpyTom]

It's fine if we do it when investing in companies, but bad when you invest in lotteries 

[u/4blockhead]

Gong: [size doesn't matter]

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Stain removal to death is crazy

[u/GrumpyTom]

"meet the brethren in their sacred meeting room"

So like, a conference room.

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Sure, my testimony changed my life. My testimony trauma bonded (the abuse pattern) me to the church. It left me with literal PTSD.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen → u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

PTSD pals <3

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

Anyone have nightmares of church? I frequently have nightmares of being stuck in the meetinghouse

[u/ako-si-greg]

The Saints used to babble in tongues. Big thing.

It got replaced with testimony bearing.

In case anyone was wondering why testimony bearing is so important to the church historically.

[u/PcHound2]

There were 4 conflicting versions of the first vision.

[u/Billytheidd69]

Death count +1

[u/vanillacreek]

We all have life challenges. Our challenges can be self caused or beyond our control. What you constantly hear in GC is that the solution to challenges is the Church (Gong). Certainly social ties can provide help and support; however, there are many (i.e., financial, time, self esteem) actually caused by the Church. The Church is not a solution as marketed. The solution is more related to building self strength.

[u/Just_A_Human_Dude]

Another one added to the death count

[u/Jealous_Pool_9514]

I’m 99% Henry Eyring has Parkinsons, I’ve wondered for years but seeing how his vocal and hand tremor was worse the second time he talked makes me think he had taken meds to help with it at the beginning of conference but they’ve lessened in effect now (coming from a PT who works with Parkinson’s patients)

[u/Billytheidd69 → u/Jealous_Pool_9514]

If only someone had the power of God to lay hands upon his head and heal him.  Anyone?   Dallin? Ucht? Bueller?

[u/ako-si-greg]

My mission sucked. It isn’t good to force everyone out on missions.

[u/Rushclock]

The stock market is great though.

[u/SecretPersonality178]

So far we can determine:

• missionary numbers are down despite the claim for “record numbers”
  
• FOs are down
  
• Gambling is bad (I agree), but also ironic because people are LITERALLY gambling with tithing. Pay now for the possibility of something more later…

[u/JayDaWawi]

Is temple spire height part of the doctrine?

[u/Rushclock]

Translation. Mormon life is indistinguishable from any other life.

[u/JayDaWawi]

LEGO instructions have infamous bad instructions; I don't think you want to use that analogy 

[u/PcHound2]

I hate that ghostly serious vibe from my family when it comes to church/GC. It's so creepy like there's some hypnotization going on.

[u/PcHound2]

Most depressing and most spiritual. God breaks us down to make us better. Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome.

[u/Spicy_Meme_Queen]

I WAS going to go on a mission, but they stopped me because I was assessed to be too mentally unwell to go LOL. Became a temple worker instead

[u/theivyangel]

Thrust in, huh?

[u/JayDaWawi]

his eyes is on the sparrow 

But not that kid who died at sea, apparently
