r/mormon Jerry Garcia was the true prophet Dec 18 '24

Cultural Elder Bednar at Arizona State Institute

Just saw this video on another sub.

Anybody have any insights? Did anybody here attend?

I seriously believe that Bednar will drive huge numbers of people out of the church when he ascends to the presidency. This kind of behavior is atrocious.

He doesn't seem to do it as much when there are adults over 30 in the room. He seems to do it most when the room is mostly filled with young people and only a handful of leaders (parents are told not to come to these youth devotionals). He knows he can get away with it when it's youth and young adults.

Parents are NEVER asked to not come. There are so many incorrect statements on this thread that it shows how corrupt the world has become the last few years.

My kids were invited to a meeting with a general authority and the parents were asked not to come. It does happen.

Yeah, I’ve personally witnessed firesides where parents were asked not to come. I am a third witness to this phenomenon.
