Frustration Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Carl B. Cook's talk was my favorite. I really needed the message of trusting the Lord even if you have no idea what you are doing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteInsanity Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 That was almost like all the answers I've been looking for squished into one session. It was amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really stood out to me when said that we can always trust in the Lord's prophets and their revelations. I had actually been questioning this before I had heard this; the prophet is human too, and will therefore make mistakes just like the rest of us. However, Elder Haynie reminded me that Heavenly Father chose the prophet to receive revelation for all of us, all of the world even. I should listen to and trust him in all things, because Heavenly Father uplifts him to fulfill his calling, just as he does to all of us as we seek to fulfill and magnify our callings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Stormy Posted April 1, 2023 Report Share Posted April 1, 2023 Should I tag Shadowed? (general conference isn't on youtube for me because it's live so my school blocks it. If I do, someone should get the link.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right, there were a lot of really good talks. To bad we're missing Elder Holland.... We miss you, Elder Holland.... Also, Elder Uchtdorf didn't compare raising children to flying an airplane, which was surprising.

S. Stormy Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) @Shadowed, there's a thing in this church going on where our prophets speak to all the members on live TV. It's called General Conference, and you can find the previously aired ones here. The first talk is around 1:04:10, if you're interested in listening to some of it.

Lord Gregorio Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) I missed a lot of today's general conference, but I'll go back and listen to it. They put it on Spotify like a podcast, so there's like an entire podcast of 2 hour spiritual messages since forever ago, it's awesome.

Trusk'our Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 I absolutely loved the Russel M. Nelson's talk. He said that even when we disagree with someone, we must be civil and polite. Contention only distances us from the Savior, and it has no room in his church. I actually have seen that others having a difference in opinion can be a good thing if taken correctly; There have been people who have challenged my beliefs, and it was difficult for me for a time. However, instead of immediately doubting my beliefs, I instead decided to research the church's doctrine more deeply. Because of this, I was blessed to learn more doctrine than I had previously and I was able to the knowledge that I already had. Honestly, people challenging what you believe can be a blessing in disguise if you respond in a good way. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like how he said that it was possible to disagree without being angry. I often find that I understand not just myself but the world better when I am in disagreement with someone, but letting anger cloud the conversation not only takes away that understanding it also hurts us. I'm actually thinking about making a "Finding Common Ground" thread where people with disagreements can go to find things they agree on, because of his talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a very reasonable idea to me. I also have found, at least for myself, that when I have an idea on the forums with someone that I will state my opinion, give proof for my reasoning, and then be open to others' opinions and their reasoning. If their proof is sufficient, I change my previous standing to fit the evidence. If not, I politely disagree and try to show them how I see things, and if that does not work, I simply let it go since it doesn't make me feel any better when I argue. Sometimes, it can be really hard though, because I'm human. Edited April 2, 2023 by Trusk'our 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paradoxical Phenomenon Posted April 2, 2023 Report Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) Elder Oaks’ talk was really interesting and outstanding! His messages always speak to me, as if he knew what I personally needed to hear. EDIT: Also, I need to flex on y’all that I am distantly related to Elder Rasband. You could say he’s my gancho!

Morningtide Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 General Conference was fantastic! I think my favorite talks were Carl B Cook's, President Nelson's, President Oaks', and Elder Nattress's. I'm pretty sure that how you spell his name. I loved all of the talks though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szeth's Facepalm Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 When president Nelson said "I'm sure all of you are thinking of someone whom this talk could benifit" (or something to that degree), everyone in my family turned to look at someone, it was like the spiderman meme lol That was a great talk, by the way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Ok I saw two awesome themes, especially on Saturday, of consistency and loving others, which were both so needed and so incredible. I’m so excited to go back and read through all the talks again! Oh also this is the thread where we were talking about the weather, right? Utah’s weather is so bizarre, it’s literally April and where I’m at there’s about 4 feet of snow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wittles Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 and now the weather... I liked the talks about patriarchal blessings. I decided to read mine again, and there was just this sense of peace that I got that I haven't felt in a long time. It was only for like a minute, but it was definitely a really special moment 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
