"Hold my root beer" - the Russell M. Nelson thread

+1 on a extreme disappointment with the current presidency. +1 Mormonforever. This is what happens when 90 year old men that don't take advice from others are leading. The corporate rebrand is 30 years too late. Irrelevant now. Evangelical christianity is on life support, and we're finally trying to align ourselves with them. Secularism is the enemy now. No one is asking which is Christ's true church. They are asking, why should I care about Christ. That said, I was stimulated and inspired by portions of conference and feel the community of my fellow saints.

I don’t think you could have more persuasively argued in favor of these changes if that had been your purpose than you did by arguing against them.

I would agree here with the tone, but would change the last word to state that the announced changes are disguised as "revelation". Corporate re-branding plus the publication of a meaningless boilerplate "proclamation" which could be more simply described as a run-of-the-mill press release. Do better RNM.

A regular Gunga Dude.

Also, I'd wiped the phrase TOE THE LINE! from my memory. As a young recruit some 20 odd years ago, when the drill sergeant yelled that, we had to drop everything and assemble in the hall with our toes right up to the blue squares in the middle. BTW, it was verboten to walk on the blue squares at any time other than when we were waxing them, or if your were a drill sergeant.

No need to deceptive in your wittiness..

I respect the guy talking, even if I think this is intellectual property defense, disguised as righteousness.

For the record, I am and always will be a Mormon. #Mormonforever

Ha ha “Tote that line.”

Never heard that before. Awesome mixed metaphor of “toe the line” and “carry water” for the church leaders?

Exactly what I would expect to hear from a corporate lackey. Tote that line JL..

I will say. I love the logo, just bitter by the loss of my gamble/prediction. Oaks really had me excited to shoot me down..[emoji2959]

Remember that time when Lebowski offered to help you personally?

Was he a lacky then?

[wuapinmon]

Did that feel good? Did it feel good to go and make fun of a man that a lot of people on here view as a prophet? Good grief you’re an ass.

You've misinterpreted my post, but I'll not try and argue otherwise, as I can see you're upset.

[All-American]

I wouldn't complain.

It’d be easier to spell, that’s for sure.

[YOhio]

Next conference he will announce that the Melchizedek Priesthood is now the Priesthood of Jesus Christ.

Cynics: the church does not have a sufficient emphasis on Christ.

RMN: let’s change all of of our terminology and branding to emphasize our focus on the savior

Cynics: you corporate hack.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve joked and murmured about the name, and now the logo change. This a good reminder for me to focus on what the intent is.
