They bishopric member who was conducting today opened with his testimony. A long-time friend of his recently left the church. That bothered him, but he listened to a podcast (the guest was Don Bradley?) and he’s comforted to know that there are good answers to the difficult questions. My wife murmured her agreement. She doesn’t want to know what the tough questions are, much less the answers, she’s just glad to know that there are answers.
The worst quote: “Everyone who leaves the church and is honestly seeking the truth, eventually returns.” It starts from the assumption that the church is true and arrives at the judgement that anyone who doesn’t accept the teachings of the church must not be sincerely seeking truth.

Never forget, there’s literally zero evidence that the Nephites ever actually existed.
There’s more evidence that Bilbo Baggins existed. And Dieter Uchdorf have a general conference talk based on the story of Bilbo, so he seems to agree.
The book mentions the nephites went to a place very heavily implied to be the united states and I think I’ve been to the states once or twice BACK TO CHURCH EVERYONE
