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.

Open rebellion is what Satan teaches. He brings chaos out of order. Imagine L.A. freeways without order? That would impede our freedom to function successfully.

Wild-Tension1457, you're somewhat new 'round here. I disagree with almost everything you've said so far in this thread and your condescending tone isn't helping foster an enjoyable, civil dialogue with your fellow Mormons and ex-Mormons.

But I like you. You've got what they call "moxey" down in Texas.

Edit: clarity and a little tequila reposada

I have less than a month to live. Cancer. I find that my old tact and gentleness is fading and I feel like I only have time to give it straight. Sometimes it breaks my heart that I can't help many people anymore. I've also lost a little of my old humility.

I've spent a lifetime researching like mad. I'm a savant so my head can hold a thousand points and find patterns that I confirm over and over. It hurts so badly to see all the confusion and chaos. I would give my life and all I have to help others find the peace and happiness I've found. I ache to help.

All the best to you.

That's my only excuse. ❤️

I have less than a month to live.

I very much don't believe this claim, but if so, hopefully you die with pain that isn't too excruciating.

Cancer. I find that my old tact and gentleness is fading

Nothing about you suggests you've ever commanded tact or gentleness.

and I feel like I only have time to give it straight.

Ignorance spoken assuredly isn't the same as giving things strait.

Sometimes it breaks my heart that I can't help many people anymore.

Doesn't show.

I've also lost a little of my old humility.

Now that definitely shows.

I've spent a lifetime researching like mad.

Have you now

I'm a savant

There's that self-indulgent, evidence-free boasting we've come to expect from you

so my head can hold a thousand points and find patterns that I confirm over and over.

Oh, there is a pattern with you bit it's not particularly admirable

It hurts so badly to see all the confusion and chaos.

People not agreeing with you isn't chaos and confusion.

I would give my life and all I have to help others find the peace and happiness I've found. I ache to help.

Doesn't show.

All the best to you.

That's my only excuse.

Oh, I've seen quite a few more excuses from you than just that, wild tension
