Speaking of a Russian temple, at about the 1 hour, 23 minute mark, an statement about a functioning Russian temple.

...The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for reasons you know, I stand before you in an empty auditorium! Little did I know, when I promised you at the October 2019 general conference that this April conference would be βmemorableβ and βunforgettable,β that speaking to a visible congregation of fewer than 10 people would make this conference so memorable and unforgettable for me! Yet the knowledge that you are participating by electronic transmission, and the choirβs ...
My apologies, it was "little did I know..." With the italicized "for me" (what does that edit imply?)
And the context was about the audience, not the pandemic.

It was a big aspect of my reflection as I deconstructed LDS doctrine. How come there was no clear direction from God and the anointed. Not even a subtle nod in some regional conferences somewhere. Just silence in the face of evil rolling over the chosen land.
08.08.2025 16:47 β π 10 π 1 π¬ 2 π 0When you farm out your ethics to a spiritual leader because "what God does is good by definition" you no longer can tell what is good.
Divine command theory makes mindless puppets of followers. The robots none of the evangelicals want you to become if we didn't have free will.
Yet if you confront anyone about it, it becomes the "talking as a man" nonsense conversation.
The pretzels LDS work themselves up into just to show prophets are needed. This from a sect that declares anyone can get directions directly just like Paul or Alma. No real need for a middle person
