    I seem to recall Pres. Hinkley's flex making the news as well. I don't specifically remember the church issuing any statement.


    Looked it up quickly: President Gordon B. Hinckley Becomes Oldest Church President (churchofjesuschrist.org)

      RMN gets over on GBH once again, hah. Beat him on temples. Beat him on using the term Mormon. Beats him on age.

        Crazy that RMN is 97 and still so physically and mentally sharp.

          Congrats to Russell M Nelson for not dying this past year. I personally think living into my 90s would be my definition of hell, but seems like he isn't opposed to continuing to live.

          I hope that he continues to live and certainly hopes that he outlives DHO.

            does sound like hell to me as well, but most of us aren't going to be doing as well as rmn late into their 90s. if i'm as healthy as him at that age, bring it on.

              Yeah I don't see that happening. DHO still looks relatively spry.

              I wonder what his contribution to LDS lore will be. My money is on standardization of all GC talks with Roman numerals!

                Don't throw shade at Jay! The years take their toll but he's still pretty sharp physically and mentally, too.

                  It's remarkable. Kudo's to him!

                    I guess they didn't like my jokes of getting a lower percentage settlement.

                      wake me up when we can just check a box in LDS tools to declare our tithing status

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

                        Someone needs to do a Michael Scott-esque gif with ‘I declare, TITHING!’

                          Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can't just say the word "tithing" and expect anything to happen.

                            I don't get this change. Oh well.

                              I saw the announcement and got happy for a multitude of reasons. Then read it and realized that the only thing that was really changing was that the fun gets to start even earlier.

                              I'm going to slip the conducting counselor an announcement to read on the next Fast Sunday: "Brothers and Sisters, it is time to declare your tithing status. The bishop's phone number is in the program. Please text it right now with your name and tithing status. That will do."

                                Happy to see the Stake YM, YW, and SS presidencies disbanded. That was long overdue.
                                Yeah, the fixation continues.
