Bruce R is rolling over in his grave–
From his unrighteous dominion over George Pace:
>In an effort to be truer than true they devote themselves to gaining a special, personal relationship with Christ that is both improper and perilous…you have never heard one of the First Presidency or the Twelve, who hold the keys of the kingdom, and who are appointed to see that we are not “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14)—you have never heard one of them advocate this excessive zeal that calls for gaining a so-called special and personal relationship with Christ….I wonder if it is not part of Lucifer’s system to make people feel they are special friends of Jesus when in fact they are not following the normal and usual pattern of worship found in the true Church.
>Would it be amiss if I reminded you that Jesus maintained a reserve between him and his disciples and that he did not allow them the same intimacy with him that they had with each other? This was particularly true after his resurrection.
For instance, when Mary Magdalene, in a great outpouring of love and devotion, sought to embrace the risen Lord, her hands were stayed. “Touch me not,” he said. Between her and him, no matter what the degree of their love, there was a line over which she could not pass. And yet, almost immediately thereafter, a whole group of faithful women held that same Lord by the feet, and, we cannot doubt, bathed his wounded feet with their tears.
>It is a fine and sacred line, but clearly there is a difference between a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord, which is improper, and one of worshipful adoration, which yet maintains the required reserve between us and him who has bought us with his blood.

I thought while listening that the “I support the current thing” meme would very much apply to faithful church membership,.
” I just got gaslit by the LDS chat bot-”
“Caring for the poor, with malls, resorts and hedge funds.”
Do we teach that a man must gain knowledge to be saved? Weren’t the words of a very popular, commonly taught song changed from “teach me all that I must know” to “teach me all that I must do”?
