omegaseamaster75 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 When you think about it, it makes sense and really has been a long time coming. There are more members out of the US and English speaking countries than in. I say good for them. I will happily read the subtitles and listen to the Spanish speakers I think it is great and long over due. Wingnut 1 Quote
Pa Pa Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 I have it on good authority that non-native-English-speaking GAs who speak in the October conference have been authorized to deliver their sermons in their native languages.Done worry if true, we will get subtitles. Quote
Blackmarch Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 to the OP: if this is the case then it will be good. I'd imagine that this will be more likely to occur as the majority membership shifts more to other cultures and languages. Quote
Wingnut Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 I also see the hand of God in making sure that English became a universal language. You're kidding, right? Quote
Just_A_Guy Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Posted August 21, 2014 I don't see why, Wingers. Whatever one may say about its other effects (which, I don't deny, are serious and at times horrifying), the Pax Britannica and subsequent Pax Americana created a freedom of travel, and thus a relatively conducive environment for missionary work, that has only rarely (possibly never) been equalled in the entire history of the world. The only thing like it that I can think of is the Pax Romana, when pretty much everyone spoke Latin or Greek and when Christianity spread like wildfire throughout the known world. Quote

mordorbund Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Confirmed, by the Salt Lake Tribune. You heard it here first! If it's confirmed by the Tribune is it really confirmed? Quote
pam Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Well does it help that it's confirmed by Deseret News as well? :) http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865610540/LDS-conference-talks-may-be-given-in-native-languages.html Quote
Silhouette Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I think it will be fascinating and am looking forward to it. I believe that the gift of "interpretation of tongues" applies to what the Spirit can impart in these types of circumstances, as well as physical interpretation in reading or hearing a language unfamiliar to us.I'm looking forward to seeing if I have that particular Spiritual gift of understanding. I know there will be subtitles, but I want to see what I can understand from FEELING, as well as just reading.Does this make sense? I read through it and am not sure I correctly said the idea I'm trying to get across Quote
paulsifer42 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 I'm excited for it. I do hope Pres. Uchtdorf keeps speaking in English (because I'm selfish like that), but I think it'll be nice for the speakers to be able to move with the Spirit, which, I assume, is easier in your native tongue.
