General Conference - Fall 2010


I'm surprised nobody spoke about this sooner. Pure rubbish.

Some of the quotes from that article will be/are cringe worthy.

Some argue that “they were pre-set and cannot overcome what they feel are inborn tendencies toward the impure and unnatural,” he said. “Not so! Why would our Heavenly Father do that to anyone? Remember he is our father.”

This is so frustrating on so many levels. My friends baby is dying from Cystic Fibrosis. Why would Heavenly Father do that to anyone, let alone a 1 year old? Horrible quote. Just horrible.

Reminds me of this gem:
LDS - "THE NEGROES ARE NOT EQUAL WITH OTHER RACES where the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned, ...but this inequality is not of man's origin. IT IS THE LORD'S DOING, is based on his eternal laws of justice, and grows out of the LACK OF SPIRITUAL VALIANCE OF THOSE CONCERNED IN THEIR FIRST ESTATE [the Mormon pre-existence]." LDS "Apostle" Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 527 - 528, 1966 edition

When will MAN learn that he is NOT God, and that the spew that comes out of our minds/mouths isn't fact, and that they are, no ****, not infallible? This kind of stuff drives me batty.
 
Wow.

Anyhow, am I the only Mo' on the board who considers conference weekend as, "My Week Off"? I only watch what my wife forces me to watch, which was zilch this year. Woot.

Here's another winner of his from 1977:

"We've always counseled in the Church for our Mexican members to marry Mexicans, our Japanese members to marry Japanese, our Caucasians to marry Caucasians, our Polynesian members to marry Polynesians. The counsel has been wise. You may say again, "Well, I know of exceptions." I do, too, and they've been very successful marriages. I know some of them. You might even say, "I can show you local Church leaders or perhaps even general leaders who have married out of their race." I say, "Yes--exceptions." Then I would remind you of that Relief Society woman's near-scriptural statement, "We'd like to follow the rule first, and then we'll take care of the exceptions."

Boyd K Packer - 1977

Trout, I'm not sure what you are getting at, but are you disagreeing with Packer? Did his talk upset you?
