That's the closing message from the self-proclaimed mouthpiece of God. This final session was disgusting.
I'm so offended.
I'm so mad.
I have to step away from this damn computer; get my mind somewhere else.
Closing rant coming eventually. I have to escape now.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACON
#GerritWGong is an exceptionally passive speaker. Always has been since the moment of his ordination. But you can't bring up #Oaks wearing a red tie as an endearing story in our modern world. That's not endearing; it's exceptionally divisive and vice-signalling.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
Why does it insist on driving wedges between my friends and family? If the gospel, or a man operating under its cloak, can determine if I get to go to heaven and live with my family or not, how is that not the definition of a fucking wedge? Fuck this session. Fuck it.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
#Anderson ends his bigot screed invoking temple covenant language to really hammer home how important bigotry is to the gospel. What a bang-up job this asshole just did.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACON
#Anderson is happy to take up Packer's charge of ranting against divorce now, because divorce gives women power, and power is the last thing the men running the @churchofjesuschrist.social want their wives to have!
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
After singing break, #SusanHPorter taking on the baby voice to talk to the kids and tell them how special they are. It's all about getting them while they're young and who better than a perpetually-smiling Primary General President to help kids feel peculiar and chosen.
#GeneralCONf #ItsAllACon
Crazy shit that the dude, #DToddChristofferson, who covered up a family member's SA is here preaching to us about "Christlike integrity" and being "clean and pure spiritually and physically". The fkn hypocrisy stinketh to high heaven.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
Well, here we go! #DToddChristofferson kicking off this session leaning heavily into Mormon apocalyptic notions. Doubters, scoffers, beware cuz you'll be burned up!
#GeneralCONf #ItsAllACON
It's hard not to be pessimistic about the trajectory of the @churchofjesuschrist.social and what the future of American conservatism holds when seeing these powerful social trends spoken from the pulpit.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
Instead of taking the charge to make the church more "Christlike", he spends his airtime lamenting the wicked world and telling the people to stand up for the ultra-conservative, fascist agenda his church has fully embraced.
This is a bad man.
He leads a bad church.
#GeneralCONf #ItsAllACon
Not talking about any of the observations the biblical Jesus has about modern-day conservatism and MAGA. Nope. That would be helpful guidance that would ACTUALLY encourage Mormons to follow their scriptures. He's making sure they #FollowTheProphet instead.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACON
Okay, a long string of sacrament meeting talks by inferior GAs, but #Hoaks is taking the stand to end this session so buckle up.
#GeneralConference #GenCONf #ItsAllACon
Fucking unconscionable; these wretched, white-privileged, capitalist warhawks who own shitloads of stocks in arms companies and oil conglomerates, they can't even be bothered to condemn senseless, pointless wars when one stares us all in the face.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
Now #EmilyFreeman tells us about her worst day when husband, Greg, got a call from the oncologist. To find strength, she turned to the For Strength of Youth pamphlet and found inspiration. I'll take 'bullshit story to plug new propaganda for $500,' Alex.
#GeneralCONference #ItsAllACon
And so it begins! Sunday A.M. #GeneralConference is kicking off as are my live shitposts covering the talks. We'll be at it through both sessions and a full deep-dive will be dropping on @glassboxpodcast.bsky.social next episode!
#GenCONf #ItsAllACon
#BrianJHolmes here just said "Think about it, none of us could know the true and living Christ without prophetic witness." I'm pretty sure that 1.5 billion Christians worldwide might have a word for him.
#GenCONf #ItsAllACon #GeneralConference
#Causse telling us the church is a "beautiful mosaic of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences" rings kind of hollow after so many talks about assimilation and abandoning cultural practices that conflict with the gospel from so many previous talks.
#GeneralConference #GenCONf #ItsAllACon
#EdwardoOrtega just slipped with "President Nephi taught...". At least I hope it was a slip and not new jargon of calling Book of Mormon prophets "presidents".
#GenCONf #GeneralConference #ItsAllACon
Rounding out the first #GenCon bout is #HenryEyring. He's telling us about the power of prayer. "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet." He says right before bearing his testimony to a claimed 17 million people and waving to a full auditorium on their feet, waiting for him to leave.
#ItsAllACon
And in the heated political climate surrounding immigration while the U.S. builds concentration camps, #Becerra speaks of how difficult finances often are for immigrants. "I believe they will not walk out of poverty unless they pay their tithing."
#FuckTheCult #GenCon #ItsAllACon
ANNNND WOW!!! #JorgeTBecerra takes the cake for most fucked up story at #GenCon so far. He fell behind in tithing when his business was failing. His Stake President asked (while stroking a cat on his lap, probably): "Do you have anything else?" And he sold his car to pay tithing.
#ItsAllACon
Every #GenCon talk before #Bednar quoted Oaks, Nelson, Cook, or other church leaders.
Bednar refused to quote anybody but the scriptures and Joseph Smith's scriptures. This dude is already trying on the dictator pants, and he likes how they fit.
#GeneralConference #ItsAllACon #DavidABednar
#Bednar with some big-prophet energy here. He just read 3 scriptures and flippantly adds his own "or is possessed of the pure love of Christ" phrase to the passages. Tell me this guy is gunning for the prophetic mantle of writing his own scriptures without telling me!
#GenCon #ItsAllACon
Oh shit, #Bednar hits the pulpit hard by saying "push on, hang on, endure to the end!" when talking about his workouts. This talk is about to be the worst of the bunch by a wide margin. More of the "assignments" and "callings" equivalence coming straight from the horse's ass.
#GenCon #ItsAllACon
#Clarbert here telling us that an astute Stake President saw an open door when parents left the church, but their 8-year-old wanted to get baptized. The church preyed on the child to reactivate the parents and this is touted as a success story.
#GenCon #ItsAllACon
#PatrickKearon ends with "everything is better when we're about his [Jesus'] business". Tell me the church is a business without telling me it's a business.
#GenCon #ItsAllACon
#PatrickKearon takes the pulpit to tell us how important sustaining vote is and how unacceptable it is to turn down a calling when a church leader extends one.
Volunteer labor is exhausted in so many volunteer orgs and he's here saying to better and work harder.
#GenCon #ItsAllACon
Who'd have imagined, Oaks is taking the opportunity as Prophet-elect to bigot screed for 30 mins. Seriously, who could've seen this coming?!
#GeneralConference
#GenCon
#ItsAllACon
First order of business for Dallin Oaks is to stop the crazy rush of new temples started by Russel M. Nelson the past 7 years. "He loved to announce new temples" but we can't keep going at his pace. Let's see what Oaks' presidency will be about!
#GeneralConference
#GenCon
#ItsAllACon
Jeffrey R. Holland basically told us that he's older than us, knows more than us, has "walked with kings and prophets, with presidents and prophets, and apostles" and we can trust his judgment on matters of magic rocks and buried treasure.
