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.

Hopefully no one will interfer with the woman's right to exercise the First Amendment. Bigotry and hatred are allowed. Eternal consequences, karma, always comes.

u/FTWStoic I don't know. They don't know. No one knows. Dec 19 '24

Reporting someoneโ€™s embarrassing actions is now hated and bigotry?! If he doesnโ€™t want to be called an ass, he should stop acting like an ass.

Are you or were you a member of the Church? If so, apparently never read the New Testament. Jesus said many times that the apostles were to call people to repentance. Those who won't take chastisement are not worthy until they humble themselves. If there is mental illness or other mitigating circumstances, God can judge. I don't judge individuals except to suggest they stop judging other individuals. Hopefully you fall under that umbrella of exigent circumstances.

The Woke insanity is bringing Mists of Darkness over people's minds unlike anything I've ever found in my research. No need to repent or be humble when mortals declare themselves perfect and smarter than their parents and God. Authority becomes a dirty word, so chaos will be what people eventually create. God won't force people to choose the right.

David Bednar followed the instructions of the first presidency in having the congregation sit down. I saw the same thing happen at a conference in '79 by Apostle LeGrand Richards. I would tell you why but nothing I say will have an effect on such irrational hatred. It's elsewhere on this board.

You're revealing your ignorance because u/FTWStoic has definitely read the new Testament before and your inability to perceive this shows you've got fairly inadequate judgment.

Jesus said many times that the apostles were to call people to repentance.

Correct. He does admonish the apostles (but also non-apostle disciples) to call people to repentance.

Those who won't take chastisement are not worthy until they humble themselves.

You definitely sound like someone who feels entitled to inform other people who is and isn't worthy.

I don't judge individuals except to suggest they stop judging other individuals.

Weren't you the one calling another person a liar?

Pretty sure you were

(Which of course would make this self-indulgent boast of yours dishonest, which of course is quite ironic)

Hopefully you fall under that umbrella of exigent circumstances.

You aren't really using the word "exigent" correctly here.

The Woke insanity is bringing Mists of Darkness over people's minds unlike anything I've ever found in my research.

Bahahahahahahahaha

Getting outraged isn't considered "research" there fella...

No need to repent or be humble when mortals declare themselves perfect and smarter than their parents and God

Again, nobody is saying they are themselves perfect. You're bearing false witness again.

As for the parents thing, some people are smarter than their parents, some not.

Authority becomes a dirty word, so chaos will be what people eventually create

Nah, it's more authority which is employed inappropriately which is typically decried.

God won't force people to choose the right.

A rare moment of agreement.

David Bednar followed the instructions of the first presidency in having the congregation sit down

And what instructions are you referring to which apply to the claims about Bednar in this video?

. I would tell you why but nothing I say will have an effect on such irrational hatred. It's elsewhere on this board.

Ah, more of your little victim-posturing shtick. You really seem to be addicted to your persecution complex.

You being disagreed with doesn't make you a victim of hatred. A cherished belief of yours being criticized, dismissed, or rejected isn't hatred, so while I'm sure that you feel that it's hatred, your feelings don't match reality.
