Ex-lurker, now annoying. Disappointing you daily. X is just me yelling better than you. Follow if you’re brave.

@derekporter_ Prepare for the days of tribulation

I need a good end times talk #GeneralConference

@dissidntdad I don’t always lead grace, but that’s because I choose who to say it.

dads, we all let the eldest man of the family line sit at the head of the table, even at our own house, right? but we still lead grace, correct? just making sure we’re all on the same page here.

@prockwellbg Open cannon.

I have a feeling President Oaks isn’t done yet #GeneralConference

Why does this guy sound like Napoleon Dynamite?

@SurrealistShip lol, we don’t do the tooth fairy or any of that stuff. No issues from the kids.

Coworker is having a real dilemma. $1 for the tooth fairy seems too low, $5 seems way too high. What's a parent to do these days?

Name a quote from general conference this gets referenced a lot. I’ll go first: “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” -President Nelson

@stefanieQB Looks like it. My wife confirmed that it looks the same.

Could this be Emily Belle Freeman's fabulous dress? tnuck.com/products/blue-… #generalconference

@chrishardman Well yeah cause they’re a breakfast food.

Hot take: Cinnamon rolls are the worst dessert.

@LowTimePrefrenz @KalanisCalves Why are we praying for prisoners of war?

@KalanisCalves 3. Pray for extreme pow. If you want pow, pray for extreme pow. If you don’t want pow, then pray on behalf of those that do.

@prockwellbg Moses 1:39

General Conference starts tomorrow! Name 1 scripture you think will be quoted below 👇

@Rach_the_Rivetr You’ve got some good things here and some things I disagree with completely. I won’t explain which. 😂

Things I Would Do If I Were Still Teaching Sunday School to 15–17 Year Olds Leave sacrament meeting during the closing song to set up the classroom (if your building isn’t sharing rooms at that time). This gives you a few quiet minutes to prepare the space before the youth arrive. Connect with your students on a personal level through a group text chain, if possible. Keep one-on-one texting to an absolute minimum to avoid any appearance of impropriety. (I still text my former students, but always in the group setting.) Set clear expectations with the youth about the schedule and purpose of class. Let them know that while you enjoy socializing, the Lord has called you to help them review and deepen the material they’ve been taught. Emphasize the importance of being on time. Most won’t care at first, but some will—and the others usually come around once they see the standard. Arrange the room with folding tables and have the students sit around them. This was one of the things that helped the most. A couple of kids would still try to sit in the back by themselves, but for the most part, it formalized the setting and helped the youth take the class more seriously. This idea came as a prompting from the Spirit—your experience may vary. I’ve never been a fan of the two-hour church schedule. Personally, I’d prefer three hours. But that’s just my personality. Regardless, I will always sustain the brethren. I pray and ask God to help me magnify my calling within the current parameters. We aren’t doing these callings alone—God is at the helm, and He wants us to succeed.

@LargeInStature_ Things I needed to know

I don't like the sleeveless, I've discovered. I like the "dry stretch" material a lot, but as a sweaty, gross man, I need some kind of barrier between my pits and my shirt. It gets all swampy.

My last ward we did gluten free bread because one Sunday they forgot to put a gluten free option. Not to mention the risk of cross contamination is way higher. So I just started bringing gluten free bread for my wife and the other celiac in the ward and we stopped using the nut thins.

My ward switched to only gluten free bread for sacrament. Anybody else seeing that in your ward?

@hvworlton @lars_2025 Your bishop needs to repent. 😂 he should be maximizing his time with the youth on Sundays.

For instance, my bishop meets with people during 2nd hour. This will limit that time, and he'll still have to meet with people. This leads to more time at church on Sundays. Or Wednesdays. Or Tuesdays. If the youth/ children aren't taught, is it just to hold them responsible for their Gospel learning? As for the other issues, I don't know if they were. We shall see. Other people seem to have not thought of them. And after all, this is a policy matter, not doctrine.

Geez, people. It's okay to not like the change to the meeting schedule. It's okay to point out problems that perhaps you haven't thought of. It's okay to express concerns. That doesn't mean I'm going "apostate" or I'm not following the prophet, or I'm not a good member. It means I have concerns. This isn't doctrine.

@gboatman12 Yeah skip all that fluff this next quorum meeting and see how it feels. Also you have 6 months to figure it out. 😃

I like this, but 25 minutes for classes and quorum meetings is short. Sometimes it takes our quorum 15 minutes to get rolling. I'd be fine going back to a 3 hour block. newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/change…

I'm sure many of these objections were considered by brethren & auxiliary leaders. I have idealistic, unrealistic thoughts on CFM, esp. re: youth/kids. We can't excuse them from it just bc parents don't do it. They're full church members & should bear resp. for their gospel learning. I don't follow your reasoning on bishops. How will this extend their church time?

Yep. @lars_2025 it looks like I'm going apostate. 😉 Don't tell the bishop! There are a lot of issues that I don't think are being thought of: Primary subs. Small wards where people have 2 callings that now fall on the same day and overlap. Human nature. Longer times at church in Sundays for bishops. People who are single, part member families, children & youth who don't have parents who are religious/ do CFM. That's a few of the issues.

@_maryrichards Ojalá que sí. If you attend my ward and it’s going over, you’ll just see me politely get up and go to the next class.

Does the new Sunday class schedule mean the hallway bell is coming back?

@hvworlton Haha is he on X? I’ll be sure to DM him right away. I don’t think people are apostates, but I do think people are over reacting. The changes are good. Will there be growing pains, sure. But that doesn’t negate my perceived good.

@GrahamWrightIV Better let my dad know! He'll be so disappointed. 😂😂

@bmariner @AntHoneyJakes

@AntHoneyJakes TEACHER: “But I can’t go as deep as I want to” ME: “I need two white monsters to get through your class”

Some of you act like your EQ & SS classes were “schools of the prophets” with the change to 2nd hour
