I wonder if next year they will invite a 'sister wife' to speak to the audience as well, I mean in the spirit of inclusiveness and such.

Just released. Sound like a flip-flop? Did he just say "pretty common sense"? Really?

Curious... terrestrial kingdom because of no masks Or no vaccinations Or both? 🤷‍♂️ I'm in the same boat as you.

Not that it truly matters, just curiosity on my part... did she say which happened first?

Inching closer to it over here. Just received this notice last week.

As of late, we seem to see the cry of 'racism' flung around for at least a couple of reasons: 1. Easy way to raise money for race hustlers. "Racism over there! Look!". Money starts pouring in from those that are especially 'woke'. Inside BLM co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullor's million dollar real estate buying binge. 2. Political parties can use it to secure voters. Demonize conservatives and portray the left as racial saviors. 3. My favorite: You don't have to take accountability for your own choices since it is the racial systems fault, not yours. From the Church's website on self-reliance: "Taking Personal Responsibility" 1. Don't blame others 2. Don't make excuses 3. Apologize when you make mistakes 4. Let go of the past and move on

Amen @Carborendum, amen.

Dr. Swain, a true rockstar. Race hustlers and those always crying 'systemic racism' would love to silence this woman.

Typical Ding Ding!

CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Their Mission Statement: The organization supposedly helping us overcome the Covid 'Pandemic' is off worried about racism now? Gee, thanks. Next we will need face masks to fight racism.

Yes, he certainly is. 2020 he says: 2021 After the sheeple have been conditioned to blindly follow he wants us to wear two masks now.

Elder Oaks shared: I also keep in mind, D&C 134:11

Toss "hero" in front of it and everyone should fall over themselves to pay out the extra 'dough'... right? WRONG! Good for those stores for closing.

Aaannnddd, here it is folks:

1:30 minutes of mask bliss. Thanks to 60 minutes for leaving this video up.

It doesn't need to be most, it only needs to be the ones with the actual power.

Technically some temples are already open, in very limited capacity. We have temples in multiple countries and states. Each will have their own restrictions, some may overlap. Since at least the US Govt. refuses to give us any defined metrics, other than "low enough" what are we to do? What happens if every single LDS member was vaccinated right now, are those local and state govts. going to allow us to open fully? Unfortunately, I don't believe that even if the entire planet was vaccinated against 'wild-type Covid 19' that they would allow us to go back to full capacity. Next we will have to wait until the entire world is vaccinated for "variant A" of wild type. Then "variant B". So on and so on. Fauci already said he still wears double masks, after having been vaccinated, because of concerns about variants now. Govt. has us right where they want us, they have become the new religion. Fauci has passed Sainthood for many already. What incentive do they have to give up even a single ounce of their power right now? None. As long as "we the people" sit around shaking in our boots in silence, we get what we deserve at this point.

Curious if he gave an actual metric that would allow us to fully open up the temples? I realize 'curbing' might be your word OR his... either way it is incredibly vague and doesn't allow us to reach success, since we don't know the actual goal. Does the world need to be 50% vaccinated, 80%, 100%? Do Covid cases need to be down to 'X' first? If so, what is 'X'? Dr. Facui keeps dancing around this subject too. Rep. Jim Jordan asks Facui, "When is the time?" Spoiler alert: Facui can't/won't give him an answer besides, "low enough". What does "low enough" even mean?

You already gave a valid reason = Church Handbook 38.7.13 states: I agree^^^^

Babylon Bee wins gold again with their article:

Just curious, have you ever lived outside of Utah before? Outside of Utah as a couple? Outside as a family? Life out in the 'mission field' has many wonderful benefits. I agree with others, it is 100% up to you and your family. No. One. Else. Not even Momma Bear. Some of my better relationships are with family who live away from us. My son, now on his mission, values his family tremendously - hah!

If this is the case: Step 1: One would need to consult and receive approval from their physician first. Pres. Nelson said: I wonder how many people are actually talking to a physician first or just doing it? Step 2: With some guidance from your physician you can better decide if it is right for you specifically: Step 3: In order to follow the Prophet and general Authorities... which 'exact' vaccine did they take? They all can't be equal. Since the Prophet is speaking to the World and the membership around the world, what vaccine are they giving their stamp of approval on? If I'm a member of the Church in China, what vaccine do I take? Step 4: When do I take it? Now? Do I wait it out a little bit longer? How about 4 months from now instead?

Elder Oaks said: Sound familiar?? New for these last days? FYI: The quote above comes from Elders Oaks talk on the Constitution... in the Ensign back in... 1992. This past conference talk he gave was awfully similar to the one he gave 30 years ago.

Good point. They will just keep moving the goal posts further and further.

Here is a toast to hoping that comes much sooner than later.
