The Wandering Wizard Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 No but we talk about it in seminary that those that have seen the temple and never gone in can now go in and see what a temple is like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morningtide Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'd love to see that. It would be cool. I'm in Idaho tho, so there's no way I'm seeing that I did get to go to the Pocatello Temple open house and that was amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookwyrm Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Yeah, I probably missed it. Even if I was living in the area there's a chance that I didn't go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) All I remember doing was picking up lots of trash. Edit: We listened to Bradley Wilcox's talk "His grace is sufficent." in seminary today and it just gets better and better every time.

I was able to go about three weeks ago and it was great! We got to see all of the DC places and had a great time just before the protest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Just a random question but how many people do you think only really read Sanderson's books because they're a member? And do you think there are more members that are fans than non-members? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely more non-member fans, though there other be a higher percentage of member fans as opposed to a different series. I think there are also for sure people who started the cosmere because they’re a member, but that wasn’t why they finished it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think there are more members that are fans than non-members? My brothers and I have been members our whole lives, but when one of my older brothers first picked up The Way of Kings his first Sanderson book, he had no clue that Sanderson was a member. It took him a while to figure out that Sanderson was a member, but I didn’t care about that aspect when reading Sanderson. As one of my favorite characters said: “A good book is always good, no matter how many times you’ve already read it” (Dazai Osamu, Bungou Stray Dogs, 2016), though I’d like to add that it doesn’t matter what the author’s religion is for this.. unless it’s something that is immoral and inhumane, then we gonna have problems. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Mistborn Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Honestly, if you read a book just because of something unrelated to the book, I question your wisdom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Wheeler Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Even if you didn't know, it would be pretty obvious by the end of Hero of Ages. No one who's not a member could have written that book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all the themes in his books that align with the church. Major truth bombs. Its great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
