Heather Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just goes to show that it really does depend on us whether we get anything out of church meetings or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenRaines Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 If you would like to see some great advice on sharing testimony read the talk in general conference given in Oct 2004 by M. Russell Ballard on Pure Testimony. It can be found at http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5...-479-14,00.htmlI agree with what he says and until we make an effort to make a change they will be as they have been in many parts of the church.I have noticed that other wards and branches outside the US do not have the same problem but sharing testimony is something we learn and if we have learned to do it one way then we need to change that habit.

I'll use that if they ask me to speak on testimonies....whaddaya bet I can incorporate the rise and fall of the Inca empire into the very foundation of the talk?
