General Conference - Tumblr Posts
So I got a text from the new Sister Missionaries in the area after General Conference this weekend.
They asked me if I watched it, and I said that I chose not to for my own mental health. They responded by saying that “a huge theme of Conference was about loving and accepting everyone”. And after seeing all the discourse about Oaks talk especially this message made me feel sick.
Of course I’m not going to take this out on these two sisters (for all I know they’re just a couple of 19 year olds doing what/saying what their mission president told them to do). It just makes me really sad that People can’t see how harmful talks like Oaks are to the LGBT+ community within the church.
I am so hyped for General conference next week it is going to be so awesome!
I think I'm just going to just straight up live tweet general conference.

“When I was twelve the world was a lot less confusing than it is now”
Maybe you’re right, or maybe that’s because you were twelve

I like this kind of ... even the playing field. The kids have a lot to teach the adults. We learn from each other
President Uchtdorf is out here telling us our family chaos is normal and I’m here for that

I got to go to general conference in person for the last session which was so cool! I really liked Gary E Stevenson’s talk. Which was yalls favorite?
WE ARE CHOSEN BECAUSE WE CHOSE!!
I don’t always like talks about birthrights and chosen generation and all that bc I almost feel like it’s saying “you are more special and cool and chosen than anyone else!” Which can lead to pride. But I like what he’s saying in this talk.
Because of your CHOICE to enter covenants, you have been given his TRUST and his birthright.
It’s our choice to take on the role of his crew members! And it’s our responsibility to bring others to Him and have them join the crew too. We ARE chosen, but WE have to choose to be chosen.
I like that it puts our agency back on us. We aren’t chosen because we are better. We are chosen because we chose to be part of Christ’s mission.
