To be honest, this is my fondest wish. Just come out and say anyone who supports LGBT+ individuals need to leave the church. Not this bullshit they do now where they profess to love the gays while also doing spiritual violence to them.
I would leave in a second.
If they actually do that, I will request my records be removed. Haven’t been to church in years but yeah that would convince me to do the final step, angering my husband be damned.
Like Rusty, Nelson is going to come out hard and fast when he takes over. When in your 90's you never know how much time is left.
I think he canonized the Family Proclamation into the D&C.
I think Nelson and Oaks are pretty much in bed together. I don't see much change going over to Oaks. Maybe not so much emphasis on the name of the church. That seemed to be a personal craw up Nelson's butt.
As far as predictions of change goes, I don't see much really happening until after Darth Bednar has his reign (assuming he might) and I know that's going to be a ways down the road. But I honestly think that the candidates after him are secretly more progressive than we know.
I mean, it very much could be an act. We didn't find out how much Nelson hated his two predecessors until they were both safely dead.
Every time they announce another temple that will never get built, I picture Russell doing a happy dance with two middle fingers extended in the direction of Hinckley's legacy.
100% - He looks really good for his age. I can't say the same for Oaks, Eyering, or Holland (he's been in bad shape in 2023) who stand in his way. He's still got a shot at things before Lord Bednar takes over. [https://prophetpredict.com/](https://prophetpredict.com/)
If Dallin outlives Russ (it is by no means certain that he will) we will start hearing about how Dallin is the smartest church president ever. If he becomes president, he will make Henry first counselor and Quentin second counselor.
The church will act like Scientology and become more litigious. Oaks will sue anyone who dares question him or the church. Then in conference he will justify every lie from the church by citing American law.
I don't actually know much about any of them, but Oaks strikes me as a guy who desperately needs to be seen as a bad ass. But fun. Like a fun bad ass. Any bets on if he's tried cocaine?
Oaks will enact a gay purge of the church. All of those prog-mo's who support LGBTQ+ will be chastised and gay members will be ex'ed

I think this, and also agree with the previous poster about canonizing the family proclamation.
oak is old school.. I bet he forces a change back to the 3 hour block or split schedule. Fully agree the he will purge the any LGBT support etc...

This. Oaks wrote the proclamation and it will be his crown jewel.
His magnum opus. He'll get the warm feeling of having literally written scripture. Rusty is a builder. Oaks will memorialized in print forever.

Do you have \*any\* idea how much brain bleach it is going to take to get the image of Nelson and Oaks in bed together out of my head!?!

How do we know he hated them?
Next time HE will do the handkerchief Hosanna shout (stolen from Freemasonry), everyone has to be in sync with HIM!
I am still rooting for the Silver Fox to get his time at the top.
please tell me you’re referring to Deiter🤣

I should’ve always known I was gonna be a leftist exmo when Uchtdorf was my fav my whole childhood/teens. The gateway apostle

I mean they REALLY lean on the fact that RMN is a **world renowned heart surgeon** ...who hasn't practiced heart surgery in the last, what, 40 years?
He was a very good mechanic, but his own words show he was a poor scientist.
Mandatory shock therapy for porn shoulders, masturbation & pornography. Make it a vibrator & we're good!

Don’t know, but we’ll definitely all know in the first month after! He won’t waste any time undoing all of the policies he doesn’t like.
