    Some of us folks might not care.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

          I've had a cell phone since 1995.

              It is going to be a very nice change for future missionaries. And leaders.

                Your point on this board has long since been swallowed by the caricature into which you have turned yourself.

                    I too had a personal home computer in 1978... It was a golden watch and when you depressed the upper right hand button glowing red numbers would tell you the time. It was really something for 1978.

                          What are some new developments in 2018 that the Mormon Church makes people excited about?

                          Besides online mission calls and the first Asian-American in the Q of the 12.

                              I posted this before it actually happened.

                              And everyone called me a liar (or misinformed).
