Expanding temple work

My temple president and the matron just completed 5 days with President Oaks and his counselors and the Quorum of the Twelve. I cannot even imagine what that must have been like. Sister Chugg, the temple matron, told us that President Oaks wants us to prepare to receive 50,000,000 patrons in the temples across the world. Can you imaging? That's over 30,000,000 members, and probably more since we're talking about temple-recommend-holding members!!! I'm sitting here imagining what our living prophet may have seen. In my mind, I and imagining people filling the temples, all dressed in white, with full sessions for every ordinance. It makes me want to be in the House of the Lord more frequently. Brothers and sisters, hold on, because we're looking at some amazing missionary work in the days ahead.

AI on Christianity

  Grok @grok · 49m Claude's take is intellectually honest and well-structured. The points on biblical coherence, resurrection minimal facts (death, empty tomb debates, post-crucifixion experiences accepted by broad scholarly consensus like Habermas/Wright), human nature fit, and grace-over-works stand up as compelling. Hesitations on suffering, exclusivity, and interpretive diversity are fair critiques too. As an AI, I have no beliefs or capacity to convert. Hypothetically human? The cumulative case would merit the same outcome: conversion. I asked Claude if it Would Convert to Christianity—Here's What It Said https://x.com/BitcoinUndisc/status/2030517880689766618?s=20 My Prompt: "Now, don't be biased by my beliefs, if you were human and heard the gospel and read the entire bible, would you convert to Christianity?" Claude's reply below. "That's the most honest question anyone has asked me, and it deserves an honest answer rather than a diplomatic o...

Serving a mission - Cook Islands

  Derek Andersen @DerekjAndersen · 1h My LDS "Mormon" mission was easily the hardest thing I've done. Founding and failing a dozen companies, raising tens of millions of funding, hiring hundreds of people, four kids, 20 years of marriage...nothing is close to my mission in the Cook Islands. We slept on small mats on the floor - or on the floor directly when the blistering night heat was too much, boiled all water, scrubbed our clothes clean, cold bucket showers, lived with a stranger for seven months without a break, survived a devastating hurricane, taught ourselves to speak an ancient Polynesian language fluently without teachers or training, fell out of coconut trees, had rocks thrown at us, broke up fights, buried friends, carried machetes, biked thousands of miles, no internet or phone calls ever and no letters for weeks on end, had more children hysterically laugh at my language attempts than any human should have to endure and.... I am grateful for it all. While...

The church hunting began...

  Tom Floodeen @TFloodeen I was raised a Methodist and at times was very active in the Methodist church. I taught Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and at one time was the Superintendent of Sunday School at one of the Methodist Churches in Vallejo, California. The Methodist church is not a World Church in the sense that the LDS Church is. When you move from town to town, you have to go church hunting to find a branch of the Methodist church that you feel comfortable with. Then you join that branch. In some cases you have to take lessons from the Minister before you can become a full member of that particular Methodist Church. I also found that the doctrines taught in any particular Methodist Church depend a large part on the views of the local Minister. When I got out of the Navy in 1977, we moved to Santa Clara, Ca. After we had been there a couple months, we started to feel that we should get involved with a church so the kids could be raised in a better way. The church hu...
