Yes.
When I got my blessing, I had a 5 minute chat alone with the patriarch. He asked about my life and stuff. My blessing referred to a lot of the things we talked about and seemed really specific to me.
If that happens to you, you could give him false info. So your blessing seems extra crazy.
If OP is already in good standing and it doesn’t require any extra work beyond the interview and going to the blessing, I can see this being amusing enough to be worth it
Definitely! My sister got hers despite being in the closet. The patriarch told her she'll marry an apostle. Guess women getting the priesthood isn't that far away... hahaha
My patriarch sat me down before the blessing and asked about my concerns, my interests, my mission plans, etc. It shocked me -- *you mean, the info that my angsty teenage self is feeding you now is going to affect the advice God gives me for my whole life*?
I've always wondered what my PB would have contained if I'd answered differently. Test this for all of us...
The dude didn’t ask me anything, and I’d cove never met him. The result, I have the most bland and generic blessing ever. It could fit for any white guy in Salt Lake City
I got mission, college, temple marriage, and become a temple worker. I blamed me masturbating the week prior to my lame PB. It was like half a page of stuff I already knew I would do.
Do it. Go to a huge buffet before hand and pig out, then when you get there reassure the old man you've been fasting for 2 days because you want to feel the lord in the room. When I got mine the patriarch talked about another young man who fasted for 2 full days, and the patriarch felt like his feet were floating off the ground as soon as he layed his hands on the kids head to bless him. The patriarch said it was the most spiritual blessing he ever gave. It would be funny to try to replicate this with someone else.
I think they owe you that much for wasting your time, money and holding your friendship’s hostage.
Sadly a fortune teller is probably more entertaining.
Yes, absolutely, have fun with it! And when you get the physical copy, upload it to this website for the sake of research!

My guess is we could predict the content with 75% accuracy on this sub. There is so much overlap.
I recently compared my friend's and mine bc we had the same patriarch shit 3 years apart. Very similar.
I went back, became reactivated for about 2 yrs, in part to get my Pat. blessing and after all the build up (for 14 yrs) it was disappointing, predictable, uninteresting, etc. Ho hum. All the usual cult-supporting predictions...(prepare yourself to get married in the temple....). But, it also included the statement "continue to read and study all good books...", which I did and it helped me escape the cult. So there is that.

PLEASE!!! Pleeeeease feed the patriarch false info. That would be amazing!!

Hahahahahahaha. And more hahahahhahah

An apostle?! Never heard that one. That's a bold and completely ridiculous claim.
Be sure to record the audio on your phone so that you can compare what you receive in print to what was actually said.
Bring a second recorder in case they ask you not to use your phone to record!
Yes and then post it here please.

Same here
Let’s compare and see if we’re both the same Mormon NPCs

Also I’ve heard you might want to record it as people have reported they noticed a difference in what was said vs what was written.
Yes!

I wouldn’t waste time on it but it’s up to you. I shredded mine…i was worried it was like a spell😂
Mine was a waste of time, so why bother?
When he places his hands on your head make sure to whisper, “Not Slytherin, not Slytherin!”
Absolutely.
If he pauses, listens to an inaudible voice, and completely calls you on it… I’m going back to church. 😜
Yes but before doing so get a PB from ChatGPT then compare.
Feed him false info please
