President Oaks Urges Young Adults to ‘Be of Good Cheer’ in Their Challenges
Nothing inspires today's young adults these days like a couple of white multi-millionaire nonagenarians
Imagine getting YSA advice from DHO who was born in 1932
Clip to discuss
Legendary letter
Why no name?
Is she not criticizing leaders of the church? And would that not be wrong?
Changing genders every other day
Of all the letters that oaks gets,
The letter seems to decry the choosing of one’s pronouns, however, the church has updated its trans policy to allow such behavior
Treating others with kindness
Treating others who are different from us with kindness
Electroshock therapy
Oaks signed off on it, or at least his signature was affixed to the study’s approval
I’ve been on tons of doctoral committees
Oaks declined to comment on the discrepancy between his memory and the research, church spokesman Doug Andersen said”
According to Nemo, Pres. Oaks also declined to discuss the apparent discrepancy when confronted, instead citing a fairlds website which supposedly exonerated him
Stop delaying marriage and start having kids
Effects of having children early
Infant mortality increases when the period between births shortens
Continuing to give births at a higher age also carries additional health risks for both mother
and child
Kristen Oaks is Dallins second wife, she was unmarried previous to marrying him at age 53, she has never had children (nor has Wendy Nelson btw)
Another case of do what I say, not do what I do
Kind of like DHO urging young LDS kids to go on missions when he never went on one himself
Story about my daughter, am I selfish?
My personal experience of marrying young and having kids
It probably all comes down to this: there are well documented psychological, sociological, physical, and economical downsides to getting married early and having lots of kids, but there are positive church outcomes in activity rates, tithing receipts, and retention rates. Hence, Oaks views giving potentially damaging advice like this is ok so long as the needs of the church come first. It’s a philosophy called doctrine over self. What is best for you spiritually, socially, or physically must be subverted for the betterment of the collective whole. That is the very definition of a high demand religion.
Before we leave this devotional, we must make a note that Any moral or ethical message from Pres. Oaks need to be prefaced with the reminder that he helped perpetuate a multi billion dollar investment deception which ended up getting the church and EPA fined 5 million by the SEC, though Oaks was called into first presidency in 2018. Hence, any moral or ethical teaching is tainted, especially since he has not explained or apologized for his behavior in any meaningful way.
Most Closeted State in America Revealed
Sent this article to my Gay brother who was raised in Utah, he is not at all surprised
Latter-day Saint teen wins ‘American Idol’
American Idol season 21 concluded with a historic winner: Latter-day Saint Iam Tongi became the youngest male ever to win the show.
Singing share microphone
First Mormon since David Archuletta to win AI
Cody Wyoming Neighbors have LDS temple concerns
Mormon Church buys Wembley Amazon warehouse for £74 million via charitable company
Ensign Peak returns lagging
EP can’t seem to outperform the S&P500
it appears that EP does not follow the best practice in the industry to maximize investment knowledge and therefore returns, even after the clandestine hedge fund became known.
